Seems so. We found the following workarround: When you disable FTS-1
in McMail (only for the ifcico systems) the EMSI-handshake works
without problems. This isn't the optimal solution but it works. Any
idea how to solve the problem from ifcico (it isn't optimal that
everyone who want's to request a file with McMail here has to disable
FTS-1...)

I have mgetty running.
