And thats where it stays. However if I setup pine, I can send emails. Does any one know why this is happening? THe reason for this is that I'm using cvs, and need to send out notification emails, by using this command. Either I'm blind or I'm not looking in the right place, but how do I set up the smtp to point to our local server? Is this the write approach? Is there something in sendmail.cf I have to mod or not? I think I'm running in circles, and any help would be appreciated. What does mailq(1) say about why the mail is still in the queue? What is in /var/log/maillog? -- Crist J.
