Okay, this is annoying... I made the changes that I mentioned in previous responses. They didn't seem to work so I changed the settings back and restarted sendmail (I also restarted it after making the changes...).
But now it seems to send the mail out immediately, just like I'd expect... I am at a loss... I'll keep an eye on it and if anything changes, I'll come back to the list. Thank you all for your responses, I appreciate the help! -Michael On Mon, Apr 22, 2002 at 09:17:48PM -0400, Michael George wrote: > I just noticed a new behavior on my system that I don't think was there before > upgrading to enigma... > > When I send mail from mutt, it will fire up sendmail, fork a process and send > out the mail.
