Thanks. > Okay not being a sendmail devotee my var/spool/mqueue is empty Instead I have /var/spool/mail and /varspool/postfix. Would removing the mqueue and having pine reinitialized it work at all? Shooting in the murk here folks! The active sendmail user who made the earlier comment re:postfix/sendmail thread might be in a position to have better advice but what I have done with nagging permission probs before and especially if you already have the firewall setup is to chown 'user' /var/spool/mqueue and so forth. Sometimes I have to work through the directory to track down the needed permission fix but it has often worked for me anyhow. Of course if you could point me to the reason my reply t:o on the expert list is always saying [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of how everyone elses shows up you would be helping me more than Ive helped you so far :) all the mail I send myself has the right header sequence!? whether receiving through netscape, kmail, etc. exccept to this List?
