[Info-vax] SFF problem with VSI on Integrity?

[Richard Jordan]

I have contacted VSI but thought I'd ask here too.  If anyone can give 
this a try and let me know if they experience the problem I'd appreciate 
knowing.

Integrity server, VMS V8.4-2L1, TCPIP V5.7 eco 5 with any later hotfixes 
as of June 2023 applied.

V8.4-2L3 is coming but I can't install it to check for a while.

We use the 'sendmail.com' freeware to send email with binary attachments 
(mostly PDFs) with customized SMTP headers.  On this VSI system we get a 
single error every time we run SFF from the command procedure.

Exact same procedure on a V8.3 Alpha and an HP V8.4 Integrity run 
without error so we're tentatively calling it a VSI issue.

Every run using symbol form via

      sff :== $SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$SMTP_SFF.EXE

(as defined within sendmail.com)

generates the following error, but also still creates the email 
successfully:

      %LIB-F-INVNBDS, invalid numeric byte data string

Happens with any normal or priv'd account, regardless of the body text 
file, presence or absence of attachments, who the recipient is, presence 
or absence of a subject line.

I don't have any other systems to test on (specifically no other VSI 
systems).

Thanks for any info.
