Please don't top post. If you don't know what that means, Google for it. Regarding your 'sendmail' problem, might I suggest that you start by reading the material available at the following URLs. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail.html http://www.technoids.org/freebsdsendmailfaqs.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/sendmail.html There is a wealth of information available on this subject. Try reading and then posting if there is something that you do not fully understand. -- Gerard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds.
