My problem is that every user but root is unable to receive mail ( for instance when I retrieve mail from my ISP popserver with fetchmail ) because sendmail says that every user but root is unknown. How can I let sendmail to know the name of the users? I read something about a userdb file so I built that database : nothing. Then I put the .forward file in the root home directory: nothing again. What can I do ? bye MDG To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
