1. I as talking about Redhat. AFAIK it doesn't have a rc.config 2. I was talking about sendmail. If you have a sendmail.mc file working ok on dialup (i.e. deferring sending and DNS lookups first of all and working on several possible networks) without a domain defined I would like to see it. I confess I've not been able to write a satisfactory one for my notebook, without the "localdomain". Cheers, -- Ryurick M.
