Yes, my mailer.conf file looks like: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/mail/mailer.conf,v 1.3 2002/04/05 04:25:12 gshapiro Exp $ # # Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail # sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail hoststat /usr/local/sbin/sendmail purgestat /usr/local/sbin/sendmail It's definitely something like an admin thing as you described. I get it at right around 3am every day. I do have two cron jobs running that cvsups ports and releases at 2 and 2:30am but I'm getting normal output from those jobs submissions as it is. -Clint
