This is especially true since the 'configuration check' function is checkyesno and looks for YES or NO values. In fact, I think tha= t sendmail was the only one two use this convention. This was brought in to appease those who use qmail (or other mailservers) with an easy method of turning off sendmail's local 'spool' service, to instead use qmail (or whatever else you like...). I remember the convention not being very pleasant for those involved. -- coleman
