(Perhaps just to see what version of sendmail you are running?). There are various autobots and worms roaming the net doing this for whatever reasons (i.e. foraythenet.com) > Apr 23 09:16:21 xenu sendmail[615]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): Cannot open > hash database /etc/mail/popauth.db: Inappropriate file type or format > Apr 23 09:16:29 xenu sendmail[645]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): Cannot open > hash database /etc/mail/popauth.db: Inappropriate file type or format Now these would indicate a local problem to me. Something in your sendmail.cf is referencing this file, perhaps calling it a hash when it's really a btree, or something like that. I wouldn't say the two are necessarily related. -mark --- Mark Jeftovic aka: mark jeff or vic, stunt pope. markjr@shmOOze.net http://www.shmOOze.net/~markjr Private World's BOFH http://www.PrivateWorld.com irc: L-bOMb Keep `em Guessing To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
