Can you try making sendmail setuid-root for a bit (and move /etc/mail/submit.cf out of the way, IIRC) to test whether that makes a difference? Or you could cvsup and/or get sendmail-8.12.7 from ftp.sendmail.org and use their "sh ./Build install-set-user-id". I'm not suggesting you should run setuid-root on a long-term basis, but it would be good to identify or eliminate this as a potential problem. Of course, rebuilding sendmail may be more overhead than it's worth, too. -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
