In the past few days I've been getting messages from POSTMASTER complaining
about foreign protocols such as EDU% and COM%.  Then just today, I got a message
in which the VMS From: address began with BITNET% and suddenly it all began to
make sense.  Somehow local mail delivery for JNET mail was being routed through
the JNET local delivery system, not PMDF.

I checked the appropriate LMD.LOG file and found this:

>$ ! LMD.COM - Command file for the Jnet Local Mail Delivery Daemon

The log file has this message:

>19-NOV-92  21:18:07: Unexpected fatal internal MM_ error

This is PMDF V4.1.  Any ideas what could cause this?
