What particular situation would > require bypassing the sendmail binary, if I may ask? The background is the following: I try to arrange a mail system on OpenBSD 3.4. On this system, the apache is chrooted by default (I know, I can turn it back, but they have done this for a reason, I hope) and therefore I wanted to setup a chrooted sqwebmail. I work with qmail, but it is not surprising, that sqwebmail in his jail does not see the qmail-sendmail replacement. So it would be one solution, to send the mail via smtp. Now I use another one. I set up a mini-qmail installation in the chroot-environment, which talks to the real qmail server outside the chroot and everything works fine. Greetings, Holger
