And I was looking forward to Webmin so I could avoid wading into the Sendmail hairball.. oh well. Thanks for the heads-up. One question tho: if I *do* decide to take a risk and play around with it, I assume it's not adequate to just backup /etc in case of a problem. IE Aren't there some conf files residing in /usr/share/ sendmail/cf? Thx, Phil -- Philip J.
