Then, I'm not sure what is wrong with your mail setup. You should, minimally, check the following things: - Your /etc/syslog.conf for mail.* messages - The /var/log/maillog file (or wherever syslog.conf points) - Sendmail's configuration in /etc/rc.conf - Your sendmail.cf and related files in /etc/mail Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
