Yep, these typos are killing me. That got ssmtp working, and I'm sending mail out quite nicely with mutt now. However, into each life a little rain must fall. Fetchmail is no longer working. After googling the error message I found that fetchmail uses sendmail to deliver mail to my mail spool, and I disabled sendmail after installing ssmtp. Hoepfully I can find a way to get fetchmail to deliver directly to my spool. Back to the man pages. Thanks for your help. Gary Schenk
