Ironically, I was just wondering the same thing, although for a very different problem. I still get the sendmail error, but I also get a return code of 67. I have a program which mails me the diffs and other information from CVS commits. I did a huge CVS commit a few minutes ago, and I got 2-3 of the error messages. *Nothing* in the error logs whatsoever. Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 67 The mail command is very simple: mail -s "Some CVS stuff here" myemail 2>&1 > /dev/null And mail is 'mailx'. 2 messages were > 100K, and a 3rd message was about 800K. inprogress got to 4, queuedelivering got to 24. Not that many messages, really. I'm guessing error code 67 means EX_NOUSER, but why? -- Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is two wolves attempting to have a sheep for dinner and finding a well-informed, well-armed sheep.
