Who or what gives you this error? What are the commands you are trying to run, and this error is the result you're getting? The error seems to be related with Sendmail, trying to deliver mail on its own, instead of forwarding to the mail gateway of your ISP, but I'm only guessing. You'll have to provide more information about: a) What you're trying to do. b) How you're trying to do it. c) Where does the error message appear (in system logs? on your console? etc) (You might also want to wrap your messages in a more reasonable line length, since one huge line is a hard thing to read properly.) -- Giorgos Keramidas . . . . . . . . . keramida@{ceid.upatras.gr,freebsd.org} FreeBSD Documentation Project . . . http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ FreeBSD: The power to serve . . . . http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
