	No, we got it just fine, propably you used
	the "Bcc:" header at PINE ?

	The smtpserver MUST be started by root.
	( None of the software modules are setuid, they all require
	  being started by the root.. -- except the  /usr/lib/sendmail )

	Well, it isn't.  The problem was at the smtpserver where there
	was one case of missing "\r\n" at the end of the response line,
	and it got corrected by 2.99.40, if I recall correctly...
	Yes, from the ChangeLog:

	* smtpserver/smtpserver.c:
	    Error in  type821err()  routine -- forgot to report
	    without "\r\n" at the channel output.

	I will make 2.99.43 latter today.
