Sendmail is just a delivery agent - and it isn't the only one on the system. Typing "mail" will read the mail, which should make it go away for now. The message proper comes from login - probably - and you can turn it off by creating a .hushlogin file in your home directory. That shuts off almost all the login messages, so that may not be desirable. If mail is being delivered to your mailbox on that system regularly, you may want to find out why, and deal with it appropriately. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
