I thought Fedora was using sendmail based on: 1. My daily logwatch report includes a section on sendmail. It reports 2 messages being sent. 2. When I list my services, sendmail is listed. I don't dispute your assertion that it's actually postfix. Just for my education, how would I confirm that postfix is my MTA? (beyond just checking that a postfix rpm is installed). I'm curious how the OP knew that it was actually postfix on his Fedora server and not sendmail. _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Nov 3 - Open Source Hardware: Bugs, Beagles and Beyond Dec 1 - IBM's Open Client Deployment Jan 5 - Building a Comunity Site with Drupal
