   This means the error channel program didn't return properly and rather
   dropped core, which you can verify with 'file $POSTOFFICE/scheduler/core'
   command as well..

   Do check that you have  $MAILSHARE/forms/err.nosuchuser  -file available.

	Another (a bit latter) Solaris port is available on
ftp.funet.fi:/pub/unix/mail/zmailer/zmailer-2.2.1-mea-DATECODE.tar.gz

My configs and forms differ, but that should not be too difficult.
