Find where the magic file is (possibly /usr/share/magic) and look in it for this sendmail_frozen... type. Identify what signature it is using to identify this.
If you can't change the file's contents, you really have two choices: First, you can hack (or just bypass) the normal filtering; set up a special queue with hacked, or no, filtering, and have these files be printed to that queue. Second, you can hack the magic file by commenting out this file type. Note that this might break something. You may have to run file with an option (which one escapes me at the moment) to compile the magic file; in some environments (which I don't have at my fingertips) this is done, creating a file called (I think) magic.mgc. -- - Dave Lovelace [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
