Dear Managers,
I need to beg again for help to solve a problem with Mail under a just
completed installation of Tru64 V4.0F
My original post was:

to which I received only one reply (thanks to xuejinw_at_shubertorg.com):

Well unfortunately for me, removing the bind option from /etc/svc.conf
completely destroys the Mail facility. So can anyone think of another reason
why Mail is working for root but not for other mere mortal users?
