Then again, if Fedora shipped Postfix instead of Sendmail as the default mail server, it would be easier to build a GUI to configure it. The problem is not the config file that is supplied - it works fine for what it intended for. The problem is that Sendmail is too complicated to configure, and should be replaced with something like Postfix that is not as complicated. There is a reason that there are books dedicated just to configuring Sendmail. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
