You are probably correct. What I should have said was that with qmail-smtpd not running; qpsmtpd running and the qmail drop in for sendmail, executing the following from the command line does result in a delivered mail: cat some_file | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Which isn't the same as what I stated before. My apologies. Tho it _should_ mean that cron does not require qmail-smtpd. With the caveat of the particular OS and flavour of cron. John
