By default, pine exec /usr/sbin/sendmail with a bunch of options and pipes the message in. You can set it to contact sendmail on the localhost instead, and use SMPT (just set "mail-server" settting to enable this feature). I have never had it hang when doing this. I suspect a problem with the params that Pine execs sendmail with. Or, perhaps a big with pipes in Pine. > -- > Andrey A. Chernov > <ache@nietzsche.net> > http://www.nagual.pp.ru/~ache/ > > > Tom
