Rich Or you can do the quick & easy thing (ie. what I did here) and go to another system that you know is running 386bsd (via ftp), do a cd /etc, and finally a get sendmail.cf. All I did after that was edit all the internet/bitnet/csnet/etc... addresses, save it, & do the voodooyoodoo for sendmail (sendmail -bz). All I know is that it works now! -Greg
