First of, I don't speak for DEC, I just take their money.

The ftpmail service is, as I understand it, not a privat thing to
Digital employees, but there are priorities...
On the other hand, the service hasn't been designed to handle the ever
increasing load of all the mail-FTP requests out there. 
The script you submitted might have been:
a) thrown into the bit bucket, or
b) just delayed due to the shere size of it.

Try submitting smaller jobs and keep in mind that this is not an
_official_ (whatever that means ;-) service and maintened in the spare
time of the great folks at decwrl.

Cheers,
