You absolutely do _not_ need to do this. There's a script inside the XMail's tarbal that is called sendmail.sh You change the MAIL_ROOT there, you move the original sendmail in sendmail.orig and you move sendmail.sh in /usr/sbin/sendmail - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
