Could that be WARNING: dangerous write permission ?? (Check your syslog - this error is written out to there) I don't think you have a sendmail.cf problem here, though there are probably several people with more experience with sendmail.cf than me. (I just know how to bang on it till it translates the way I want it to...) If you do a ps -auwx | grep mail is sendmail running? The only place I can find that error in the source is under a check to determine (I think) the mode the program is running in. Perhaps sendmail is not running as root, or mail _is_. Check the suid flags. > I think the problem is at the "sendmail.cf", but I don't have > knowledge of the syntax under "sendmail.cf". if you want to mail it to don@elf.kendall.mdcc.edu I'll take a look at it and see if anything bites me. make sure you include the precise error messages.
