Yes, I tried that, it's deprecated in the 8.9.3 and suggests using service switch. I got now my system working by using postfix, I use postfix for about two-three months on my work machine, it's fully networked. Never had problems with postfix, but I thought that I give a try to sendmail... but sendmail failed for what I wanted to do. I sent detailed question to sendmail-questions list but nobody replied so far. I don't blame sendmail but I got everything to work with half a hour using postfix. The only thing what I have done was following the guidelines. The documentation is well formed and I like reading it. That's the story. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
