Description: 
============

 Patch XM*8.0*6
 
 Remedy Ticket: HD 12891 / CHG 4269
 Test Sites: MPI-AUSTIN, CIOFO-ALBANY
 
 This patch contains several fixes.
 
 1. When MailMan has tried all the scripts to transmit a queue, and the
 transmission still fails, MailMan sends the postmaster a message to
 notify of the problem.  This message gets bigger and bigger with
 subsequent failures, because it reports on every previous failed attempt,
 which can number in the 1000s.  This patch limits the message size by
 reporting a maximum of 100 previous failed attempts.
 
 2. Patch XM*8.0*1 failed to include the patch number in the second line of
 routine ^XMTDL.  This patch adds it.
 
 3. For GT.M systems, change the listener from the non-standard port 2525
 to standard 25 in routine ^XMRUCX.
 
 4. In routine ^XMR1, add a check to reject a connection if the site
 attempting to connect is listed in the NETWORK SENDERS REJECTED (#4.501)
 file.
 
 NOTE: This patch should be installed during off hours, when user activity
 is at a minimum. It requires patches XM*8.0*1 and *5.
