Re: problem with sendmail and su

That is exactly working as designed. The reason sendmail sends the mail as your actual login user is so you cannot spoof so easily. If you have certain emails like system reports you are sending and want them sent as root, add them to roots crontab file. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you realize the Makefile contained therein is a plaintext, commented, quite easily understandable file? If you skimmed it you would have realized adding the 'restart' target to the make command would have done just what you needed without taking down the whole box. -- If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely ignore your message.
