I remember having to edit sendmail.cf even for trivial stuff like setting the sender domain and the outgoing smtp relay, what, fifteen years ago? Definitely less than fifteen. I still have the first edition of the bat book; it's almost as thick as my single-volume paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings, and has larger pages. More importantly, if you raise your eyes a few centimeters, you'll notice the word "never" which I think we can all agree is patently untrue. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
