you're talking about the config.mc file? that's just how sendmail does shit. it encloses things in <left tick>value<right tick> .. which means that my echo statements need to escape the <left tick> or the shell tries to interpret things instead of just echoing them did that answer your question, or are we missing each other? - -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 http://doug.hunley.homeip.net && http://www.linux-sxs.org In 1665 Issac Newton became discouraged when he fell up a flight of stairs. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/VekO2MO5UukaubkRArQXAKCVKcXmRXBSeX/nUFCCqNGtKxjIGgCfRBLQ kd0ErjFtHbOPfN2ozxa55Ec= =ECld -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
