Either your mail tool, the widget that inserts the disclaimer, or the
mail gateway that transfers your messages to the Internet doesn't
properly insert or manage line end characters -- most common problem is
assuming that inserting a LF without a CR is acceptable universally (it
works on ASCII system, which VM.MARIST.EDU is not). The line of dots
that separates your message from the disclaimer is getting appended to
the end of the SIGNOFF command, which is causing it to be invalid. 

I'd suspect that it's the gadget that puts the disclaimer in,
personally, but dunno. 

You can force it to ignore the rest of the message by putting: 

//EOJ 

at the end of the valid commands to the list server software, and it
will stop processing the message at that point.
