As I want to post stuff, it works good with msgs -s. However, in the man pages, they suggest: The line msgs: "| /usr/bin/msgs -s" should be included in /etc/mail/aliases (see newaliases(1)) to enable posting of messages. after running newaliases, I expected (maybe shouldn't I?) I could email to msgs 'user' to post a news. But I'm getting an error: Jul 2 11:17:45 gateway sendmail[35214]: f62FHjx35214: from=root, size=48, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200107021517.f62FHjx35214@mecenia.org>, relay=root@localhost Jul 2 11:17:45 gateway sendmail[35216]: f62FHjx35214: to="| /usr/bin/msgs -s", ctladdr=msgs (1/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30048, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown mailer error 13 Jul 2 11:17:45 gateway sendmail[35216]: f62FHjx35214: f62FHjw35216: DSN: unknown mailer error 13 and hints? regards, ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
