Seeing that user cathyl authenticated makes me think that the user logged in
localy or via telnet ssh or whatever and used mail or something. maildrop
does MIME conversions from memory.
but thats only via the very limited info u've given me.
its like ringing up a car mechanic and saying my car won't start, whats
wrong?
