I hope you're not entering the spamming business :( Anyway, you might consider using some mailing list software (majordomo, mailman, etc.) instead of running sendmail on your own, because they have already solved all the problems associated with mailing something to a large number of people. For example, if you're not a spammer you'll need to allow people to quickly unsubscribe from your list - how would you do that with your sendmail solution? > Apr 3 02:44:15 tal sendmail[7750]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(tal): Arguments too long > [root@whatsup tal]# I would guess sendmail is running another program (why? I don't know) and it is running into Linux's hard-coded maximum length of a command line (65K? I don't remember... try looking at the execve(2) manual or the source code). Either that, or sendmail has its own fixed-length buffer somewhere. Either split the sendmail call into several seperate sendmails yourself, or just use a mailing list software. -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Apr 3 2002, [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Why aren't fishmongers generous?
