Most likely, it's trying to run "sendmail -s mysubject user@host.com". This is a /usr/bin/mail commandline, not a sendmail line. Sendmail expects the subject to be passed into stdin as a header, like "Subject: mysubject". -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
