Easy for you to say :) Last time I tried to CONFIG Sendmail to do this I got nowhere. 5 days of reading man pages and web sites and email with a VERY nice user who tried to help with it. Still no luck. Sorry I am not a Sendmail guru and have no idea what the CONFIG files tags do or what to change. I have tried and failed miserably. Thus the reason I asked about SLRN. David L.
