I think the worse problem is when you have to update the base sendmail with the ports version.. Come next installworld + mergemaster things can get pretty hairy as you try and decide which version to continue using, and if you change how to revert so the base system still does what you want etc.. It can be quite annoying to deal with :) -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5
