It may be a WAG, but it may explain all of what is going on. "mail" would attempt to create a connection to localhost, inetd would start sendmail to accept the connection, sendmail would route the message and then die. Tuareg, check out /etc/inetd.conf for an entry containing the word "sendmail" And let us know what you find. lane
