This is something that drives me crazy but I've not been able to find a = way to stop it.=20 When I log into my FreeBSD 4.6 Web Server as root, I get messages from = sendmail that I can't suppress with dmesg. They are a real pain because = they even come across the screen when I'm using VI to edit files and = then I can't figure out the line I was in the middle of editing, and end = up doing a :q! and starting over, very frustrating because we get tons = of mail and it seems like I can't do anything as root because of these = messages.=20 Is there a command that will suppress the messages? I remember being = able to do that when I was working on an HP-UX system but haven't = figured it out under FreeBSD. Thanks for any help! Lynette
