I just noticed something really strange on a 2.2.8 system. If I have a username that is eight characters long (e.g. abcdefgh) and I check the address: sendmail -bv abcdefgh abcdefgh... deliverable: mailer local, user abcdefgh I can also get a deliverable message if I append other characters to the end: sendmail -bv abcdefgh123 abcdefgh123... deliverable: mailer local, user abcdefgh123 Mail sent to user abcdefgh123 will create a file in /var/mail/abcdefgh123 with the permissions of user abcdefgh. Is this a known bug/problem with Sendmail 8.8.8/8.8.8? --- Bob Beer <r-beer@onu.edu> Ohio Northern University, Academic Computer Services, Ada, OH 45810 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
