You can disable loading sendmail as a daemon (boot-time) in /etc/rc.conf. Using sendmail to send a message is similar to using mail; for example type "sendmail john@smith.com" and type in your message terminated by a dot on an otherwise empty line. Piping/redirection of course works. "man sendmail" for details on command-line arguments. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - Systems Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
