Now that I have done this it seemed to work fine.  Then I attempted to run
Pine and it didn't start.  I tried rebooting and when it was loading
sendmail it would seem to freeze so I press ^C to continue the boot which it
does.  Again Pine won't start.

The mail program 'mail' seems to work however.

Thank  you help,
Stephane Raimbault
