No problem, but because this also isn't a set of "questions" that our
general question-answering-folk can deal with (how many are going to
have CDE) - I've eliminated it from the inappropriate questions group.

Try running it twice in a row - they know about this one and are
tracking it down (I reported it also).

That's odd, because it does work fine for me with their CDE out-of-box
installation.  Perhaps you have MD5 instead of DES crypt, or
something?

That's also odd, because I've both read and sent mail without a hitch
using their mail tool.
