It is almost certainly your local delivery agent, rather than sendmail, that is producing this message. Sendmail may be passing it along. But local delivery is done by the local delivery agent, which typically first copiesd the text of the message to a temporary file. If you send a message with 'sendmail -v', the verbose output might give you more information. -NWR To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
