Subject: Re: Simtel20 access

I also have experienced a major problem getting ANYTHING from SIMTEL20
lately.  I had entered requests every other day for about two weeks and
received nothing.  On a hunch, I tried sending a hand-constructed request
file, bypassing my mail system (even though it had always worked before).
I received the archive file the next day.
     Has something strange happened to the BITNET/ARPA gateway regarding
mail from mailers, or perhaps has ARCHIVE-REQUEST support changed slightly
so that my (formerly acceptable) RFC822 headers are rejected?
