Can anyone tell me if they've experienced bare lfs being generated by an
MTA rather than the client end?

I've noticed that if I send a message with an attachment using our qmail
1.03 server it goes through ok, but if I send it using our old NTMail3
box as a relay, it gets bounced after so many days with the following
entries appearing in the NTMail log file.

POST 7 Sep 99 13:38:57 F 2128 3925 waiting 10038 mailhost.howden.com
POST 7 Sep 99 13:38:57 F 2135 3925 reschedule db026471.mbx to 13:50:57

and occasionally

POST 7 Sep 99 22:36:38 F 2155 4092 temporary failed mailhost.howden.com
"451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html."

This only seems to happen to mail with attachments. I suspect NTMail is
broken, but it seems odd that this only happens to mail destined for our
qmail server sent using a variety of clients (Netscape Messenger,
Outlook).
