Hi there, special hugs and kisses to; Doug White, and David Greenman. I understand that Sendmail was, once, a major security hole by which attackers and hackers used to get the password file, and to obtain unauthorized root access priviledges, and I also understand that RECENT versions of sendmail has attacked the attackers by being more secure than ever. Now, to make it even more secure, I have changed the default sh shell into a new sendmail restricted shell or (smrsh), which restricts the scope of excutables that a mail client may execute to start with, and its working FINE. A drawback of this technique is that when I try to do some manipulations of the mail delivery system on my server the restriction becomes a kind of Hyper-Security, I mean by that overdoing things, so now the question; HOW can I use Procmail for mail filtering , and Majordomo for mailing lists management, in presence of this limitation, since after I set these 2 services up, they need to be invoked into the Sendmail mail delivery system. Currently sendmail is refusing to allow them to do their stuff, even if they are referenced in the sendmail.cf as they should. Some Mail Daemon out their might be able to help. so Please HELP. ps: thanks for all you people responding to my posting DELTEING WINDOWS 95. I will check StarOffice, WordPerfect, and Lyx-Latex interface, and will see which is more fun, easier, powerful, etc, and tell you back what I did. Thanks for replying IN ADVANCE. == MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
