All there is is the regular status diagnostics MHonArc reports (unless
-quiet is specified). If you do not specify -quiet, where do status
diagnostics messages go?
Have you tried running under Perl program NTmail while running
through the system service. Win32 systems are known to not invoke
sub-processes in a manner similar to Unix systems. Standard I/O
redirection tends to be a problem (at least with programs like IIS).
Maybe writing a simple test Perl program just to see how input and
output is handled may provide a clue to what is wrong. Since mhonarc
works nicely with programs like sendmail and Procmail, I strongly lean
towards the problem being with NT/NTmail. Support for interpretive
based programs that are not Microsoft creations tends to be poor on
Windows systems.
