When I look at /etc/init.d/sendmail I see the following bit of code in the reload() subroutine: if [ -x /usr/bin/make -a -f /etc/mail/Makefile ]; then make all -C /etc/mail -s else for i in virtusertable access domaintable mailertable ; do if [ -f /etc/mail/$i ] ; then makemap hash /etc/mail/$i < /etc/mail/$i fi done fi As far as I understand it, that ought to do exactly what Mike claimed, and run 'make all -C /etc/mail -s' everytime you start or restart the service via the init script. -- Jerry
