I have rebooted the computer and get the same problem. There is nothing in /var/log/maillog or /var/log/messages that's timestamped anywhere near when sendmail stops. This is all that I get in /var/log/maillog when I restart sendmail: Sep 25 12:17:44 jeff sendmail[3000]: /etc/aliases: 76 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 765 bytes total Sep 25 12:17:44 jeff sendmail[3005]: starting daemon (8.13.7): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00 Sep 25 12:17:44 jeff sm-msp-queue[3013]: starting daemon (8.13.7): queueing@01:00:00 I get nothing in /var/log/messages at all. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
