Many thanx to: Chris Myers and Michele Tomkin !
the problem is a corrupted mail file. clearing
out the garbage preceeding the first 'From' entry
clears this problem.

Orig. question:
for some reason a handful of my users are suddenly having
trouble getting thier e-mail. a .user.pop file is created
then thier mail program (outlook2000 or eudora) repeatedly
askes for the password. syslog message says:
Nov 23 11:12:20 tigger popper[25875]: user_at_host: -ERR Unable to process Fom
lines (envelopes), change recognition modes.
my questions are: has anyone else experienced this? and
would a kill HUP inetd-pid be in order?
