When root, I still get that same error.  As user "thufir", r2e just hangs.

[root@benetleilax .rss2email]#
[root@benetleilax .rss2email]# r2e run
E: error in "feedparser" feed (<unknown>:2:-1: Document is empty
)
E: error in "4.1" feed (<unknown>:2:-1: Document is empty
)

however, when I do the above as user thufir, which users corresponding
config file is identical, it just hangs.  what's up?  what's sendmail
doing?  anything?  it doesn't appear in top.  Is sendmail working?


I posted the above to sendmail usenet, by the way.
