I assume that when you say "restart courier" you mean using whatever init scripts your distribution uses. I run redhat so I can restart the whole courier suite by running /etc/init.d/courier restart If you read your init script (/etc/init.d/courier for redhat, mandrake, suse, etc. - don't know about others) then you'll see exactly what it's doing and which processes are actually being started when you run it. I think what you want is "courier restart" to restart the courier process and make it reread its configuration files. You can also run "esmtpd restart", "esmtpd-ssl restart", etc. to stop, start, and restart different parts of the courier suite. Again, the init script will show you exactly what's happening when you start and stop the entire thing. The man pages also show you which options the processes take. "man courier", "man esmtpd", etc. Hope that helps. Jeff Jansen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
