who all pointed me in the right direction. Firstly, I
was wrong when I thought the problem had affected all users
- it had only afffected a few. What had happened was that some
of the mail spool files had been corrupted. Pulling the files
into an editor and making sure that the first line
encountered was of the format
From: mark_at_adam.ac.uk
solved the problem.
Many thanks to all.

Hi all,
Have an odd one - my DU Box (AlphaServer 1000, 4/266 running 3.2c)
crashed
today. First time in 2 years...
Anyway, everything came back up ok, except mail is screwed.
I run a number of pop mailboxes (using qpopper), but all people
get is a message that says :-
-ERR Unable to process From lines (envelopes), change recognition modes.
Which is a new one on me. Clutching at straws I grabbed the
latest version of qpopper and installed that. Surprise, surprise -
no change. Please *please* tell me I don't have to fix sendmail...
Nothing has been changed in years, and up to today all worked well.
Any ideas? Please?
