The clone message is caused by the presence of an owner- alias, which causes sendmail to change the smtp envelope from address to the value of the owner- alias. owner=owner-mission is kind of strange, though. Do you have an alias that says "owner-mission: owner-mission" ? Also the message has to go _somewhere_. These log entries don't show a final delivery happening. Are there any accompanying log entries containing "to=whatever" and "stat=Sent" or stat=queued" ? Also do you get anything interesting from the 'mailq' command? I won't claim to be a majordomo expert. I do use parts of an old version of it with the lists I run, but I haven't looked at recent versions and it's been years since I've read the docs. You will no doubt get better help with questions specific to majordomo from the majordomo-users list, which last I knew was at greatcircle.com. Check the majordomo docs if that's not its current location. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
