did you, by any chance, install a new baseXX.tgz file on the system? This is a common message if you unpack the file sets without first stopping sendmail, then restarting it afterwards (or a reboot). it is mentioned in the various upgradeXX.html documents, but if you google for the whole message, you miss it because I was too clever broke the line at the 80 char point, so it would be as you see on your monitor. > > > Here's the full dmesg: > > OpenBSD 4.4-stable (GENERIC.MP) #4: Sun Nov 16 14:21:18 CET 2008 I'd be more convinced I was right if this date was more recent. :) Nick.
