Telamon NMMAIL program. Sending file as an attachment. File contains
$SYSLIST from our nightly backup.

It has been working fine. Suddenly failed last night.

:mail.utilipm.sys "&
:-t DVMBUAdmins@ourdomain &
:-m LSTDLISA &
:-s 'IPMA Backup STDLIST Partial\ Daily\         TUE 050531'"
May 31 20:58:38 mail[397] SendSocket: IPCSEND: INVALID DATA LENGTH. (SOCKERR
50)

Strangely enough failed exactly the same on all three HP3000 computers.

The jobs on the three HP3000 computers completed at different times and they
all send the SYSLIST the same way just before sending the STDLIST. The
SYSLIST worked fine. Only the STDLIST's failed.

It does not make any sense for it to be timing of something out on the
network since the SYSLIST files worked intermixed with the STDLIST files in
the same time period.

We have sent larger files many times so I can not see it being file size. In
fact the SYSLIST sent succesfully seconds before would have been larger.

No system change on any (and especially not all) HP3000 computers so far as
I can determine.

This makes no sense to me. Does anybody have a clue what could cause this
and/or what I should be looking for?

HP3000 928's and 918, MPE 6.0 PP2
