Hello everyone,

I have a problem in MH 6.8.  I cannot send mail with bcc field.
'send' complains in mail with bcc field like:
kawamoto$ send
Use "/home/rose/kawamoto/mail/drafts/2"? y
post: problem initializing server; [RPLY] 503 Sender already specified
send: message not delivered to anyone
kawamoto$

In MH 6.8 mts/sendmail/smail.c: sm_init, following is executed.

#ifndef ZMAILER
	    (void) smtalk(SM_HELO, "ONEX");
#endif /* not ZMAILER */

When sendmail receives ONEX, sendmail rejects twice MAIL FROM:
and says '503 Sender already specified' even if receives RSET.

'post' verifies addresses when I specify bcc field, and then
'post' send messages to sendmail, 'RSET' and 'MAIL FROM:'.

Is this correct behavior or a bug?  Following is config file when
I make MH 6.8.

Thanks in advance.
