Things are starting to make sense now. That behavior should either be removed (if it is not needed), or documented so it doesn't confuse anyone else. Or possibly you could check to see if the $SENDMAIL variable already set a -f flag and only do -f "" if the flag is not already set. I did play around with the "| $SENDMAIL" construct and it works fine. Unfortunately, that means I have to modify about 200 .mailfilter files as well as my program that maintains the accounts. Can I modify the code to remove this behavior? If so, where do I look? -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
