Line 48 in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf is blank! > > Rem > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" The screen doesn't print all characters. 3 examples are 0x00, 0x0a, 0x0d. NULL, and (newline/return). I have a feeling there's a unprintable character in there and sendmail's bawking at it. I don't use sendmail, personally -- too inexperienced and the configuration process confuses me. So in layman terms: Clear all blank and commented lines out of the .cf file For good measure, hexdump the saved file to see if you find any abnormal characters for sendmail. What I'm unsure of, is after clearing the .cf file up, does sendmail have this configuration in memory so it will CONSTANTLY complain until a new config is generated? This, compared to say any other common app that reads it's .conf file at startup and doesn't keep any of it as part of the binary itself. I feel I didn't explain this very well. PLEASE notify me if you feel this is true. I'll try to re-explain myself differently then.
