Oh well, whatever-- at least I got it > to work! That almost certainly means it's not in your PATH. Note the upper-case. You have an environment variable PATH which contains a list of directories to search for executables. It seems that you have installed hypermail in your home directory, not a good idea, and that you don't have your home directory in your PATH, which *is* a good idea. Check the documentation for hypermail; you can probably install it in the correct place with 'make install'. Greg
