If you use the default entry in rc.conf (edit rc.conf.local instead) I assume the sendmail cf file is copied to /etc/mail/localhost.cf? If not, you have to modify the rc.conf sendmall entry to point to the correct sendmail.cf file.. If that wont work, send more config info... /Per-Olov -- GPG keyID: 4DB283CE GPG fingerprint: 45E8 3D0E DE05 B714 D549 45BC CFB4 BBE9 4DB2 83CE
