If I do this, how would this affe Assuming that DNews is using the local sendmail as it's smtp server then disabling sendmail would stop manager reports and posts to moderated newsgroups being sent. It would also break any news-mail gateways you have setup using http://netwinsite.com/dnews/tomail.htm. However you can just configure DNews to use an alternative smtp server in newsfeeds.conf and you shouldn't have any problems. e.g. newsfeeds.conf site me groups * site news.smtp.server.ip smtp Regards, Brian -------------------------------------------------------------- Note: If you are using Dnewsweb version prior to 5.4f3 we recommend you upgrade due to a potential security issue found in those versions.
