Thanks for your answer. What I just found out is that the matter is really with sendmail. It seems like sendmail turn the uppercase letters in lowercase ones. I mean, if you have a user called TEST , and you send an e-mail to the user TEST , the sendmail daemon looks for a user called test , ( not TEST) , and ovbiously it will say "User Unknown". I am looking for some information to fix (?) this sendmail behaviour. Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
