Hi, Do yourself a favour: 1. Download sendmail-8.9.1 (or the latest). 2. Untar it 3. cd sendmail-*1/src 4. ./Build [Enter] 5. ./makesendmail install 6. cd ../cf/cf 7. study ../README and learn to update the bsd-generic4.4.mc file and then type make bsd-generic4.4.cf and then cp bsd-generic4.4.cf /etc/sendmail.cf ...learn the cf file method...it's way better...it'll cost you 30-40 minutes of reading...instant payoff...almost every feature you'd EVER want is there... Take care, Randy Katz BTW, my bsd-generic4.4.mc file looks like: divert(-1) # # Copyright (c) 1998 Sendmail, Inc. All rights reserved. # Copyright (c) 1983 Eric P. Allman.
