I was able to get my sendmail up and running by looking in the sendmail area of the sourcedist. There was some pretty good info there, as I recall. You don't have to create a config file by scratch, as that there are some sample m4 scripts that will do the grunt work for you. I bought the O'Reilley book just in case, though. Unnecissary, but looks good. --- : James Robinson : james@hermes.cybernetics.net ::See the screaming hot black :FreeBSD|XFree86 :The best things in life are Free:: steaming iridescent : Frank Zappa : Music is the best ::naughahyde python screaming : HTTP Server : http://hermes.cybernetics.net/ :: steam roller!
