Hi, 
  We've been having problems with our Word Perfect Office smtpgateway to
an SCO box running mmdf under OpenDesktop.
  Schematic:

PC LAN  ---- Connctsrv ---- SCO & smtpgate ---- Sun server ---- outside world

  Everything works except for mail from the smtpgate to SCO. Mail can be
received from the outside world and the Sun server, but mail from PC's
running Office gets through the smtpgateway, is delivered to the SCO box
and then is depostited in the WP smtpgateway's TEMP dir - /usr/tmp.
Two files are left there, AAA* e.g.

-cut-here-----
execmail: dying from signal 13
-cut-here-----

and BAA*, e.g

---cut-here----
To:   <Mark>
From: <smtpgate%smtpgate@spock.ucsalf>   (WP SMTP gateway)
Received: from PERFECT_WORLD by smtpgate
Date:    Wed Mar 24 16:31:21 1993
Subject: WP Mail Status Change  (SMTP Id#: 0)

Mail opened by WPMail recipient: mark@PERFECT_WORLD  (Wed Mar 24 15:07:05 1993)
Subject: test mail #6
An example 
----cut-here----

So mail is getting all the way, but failing because execmail is writing
to a pipe with no reader. Could this be a permissions problem?
Someone please shed some light?
Thanks in advance.
