That is not going to work right since sendmail 8.12. That is why you need to have sendmail running, at least listening on 127.0.0.1 (the default for RHL and FC installs for the last several releases). This is secure (unless you have something routing to your loopback interface, in which case you are probably already messed up). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
