The case is exactly analogous, except that the sendmail flags are in /var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid and should read: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m and you need to set 'sendmail_msp_queue_flags' in /etc/rc.conf to override them. --------- Hope that helps. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
