Alternatively, as some others have suggested, you may configure smpt-server instead to make Pine send the message to your SMTP server instead of waiting for sendmail. I used the following in my /etc/pine.conf and /etc/pine.conf.fixed (I couldn't decide...<grin>): # List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Pine uses sendmail. smtp-server=localhost This fixed the problem for me. It works great with both smail and exim. BTW, I found the following in /usr/doc/pine/tech-notes/config-notes.html: SMTP Servers It is sometimes desireable to set smtp-server=localhost instead of setting sendmail-path to overcome the inability to negotiate ESMTP options when sendmail is invoked with the -t option. Sendmail can also be subject to unacceptable delays due to slow DNS lookups and other problems. Hope this helps. :) Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineering http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, Canada Keep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
