1000 sorries, the webmailer interface cut the error message after "550_Error". It said

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.gmx.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<cups-info at cups.org>:
65.120.94.1_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_550_Error:_Please_rename_attached_ZIP_files_to_filename.piz./

Shall i send it again or can we solve the problem in the Forum?

I tried that beforehand and it gave errors as well. That was regarding any cp -d flag, which is indeed not supported on HP-UX according to the manpages.
