Checking your > sendmail path in the config file should be in INSTALL.html for clarity. I do say in INSTALL.html that people should review everything in gnudip.conf. And thre are comments in gnudip.conf. However, when I have a moment I will add a point emphasizing that the values for logger and sendmail should be reviewed. INSTALL.html started out as a short checklist. Now it has grown into a short (and not very good) *NIX "How To".
