I don't reaally know the "magic" setting to fix your problem, but you are now using sendmail release 8.12.x with RH9.0. With the 8.12.x release of sendmail, there is a MSA (mail submission agent) that you will probably have to disable in order to send mail without the daemon running. If I were in your shoes, I would probably start by looking at editing the /etc/mail/submit.mc file. To understand the MSA, start by reading /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README. BTW: You will have to load the sendmail-cf rpm. Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
