Yup. The funny thing is it worked before without a hitch.

So far mailq turns up nothing. I guess that means no mail for the user. But I
do see messages telling me that mail was found and downloaded. The messages
seem to get lost.
Also, I checked the var/log/maillog file and I find I keep getting this:
# Nov 2 23:36:56 Maddog sendmail[2799]: problem creating SMTP socket
# Nov 2 23:37:01 Maddog sendmail[2799]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
opendaemonsocket: cannot bind: Address already in use
# Nov 2 23:37:01 Maddog sendmail[2799]: problem creating SMTP socket
# Nov 2 23:37:01 Maddog sendmail[2799]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
opendaemonsocket: server SMTP socket wedged: exiting
Maybe I should use postfix. I don't suppose that would be part of Red Hat 6.2.
Haven't seen it yet.
Thanks! God bless!
