No; the error-messages came from qmail, a unix-program.

First of all let me say a "mille grazie" to Michele for your quick and
helpful reply. Studying the two mentioned files I learnt much about the
mu-sendmail-processing.
Also thank you to all members of the mailing list for the nice and
tolerant manner of posting. I did not find an RTFM or similar in any of
the about 200 postings I got last week. ;-)
BTW: (is there a man-page or similar of the ash anywhere in the web?)
Following I give some intermediate results of my experiences in altering
the 2 scripts.
originally I found in net.lib in the send-subroutine: echo -e "$@"
I changed it to echo -e "$@\r\n".
I also added a send "" to the smtp.pro - script.
and I got following sendmail.log sequences:
----------snip-----------------
sent [MAIL FROM:thomas.wille@gmx.de]
expect [*250*]
-> got [502 unimplemented (#5.5.1)]
---------snip------------------
but also a:
---------snip-----------------
sendmail: Sending DATA.
sent []
sent [.]
expect [*250*]
-> got [250 ok]
------------snip----------------
So obviously (please correct me if I am wrong)
The DATA is not so important for accepting the mail, but you have to send
the sequence \r\n.\r\n at the end of a message.
At the oppposite qmail will not accept any \n at the end of the header
lines. Next I will try to add a new command in net.lib:
sendfoot()
{
echo -e "$@\r\n"
echo "sentfoot [$@]" >> $LOGFILE
}
for writing the foot-lines of the mail-message-protocol
going on testing..................................
I wonder if somebody uses mulinux for sending mails, I did not find any
"X-Mailer: RNA" in my mulinux-folder
so long
