Since 8.9.3 is now a fairly old version of Sendmail, it might be worth your while to download the latest one from sendmail.org and build it. Note, however, that the locations of files are different (and more consistent) in the latest version. All of the configuration files, including sendmail.cf, now reside in /etc/mail. --Brett At 10:58 PM 9/19/2000, Chutima S. wrote: >Dear all > >I found that my host running FreeBSD 3.4 with sendmail version 8.9.3 >have receive mail from strange people and target is not our users hundreds >messages a day.
