This smells like you're trying to have two MTAs (mail transport agents) running. After sendmail dies, do a "netstat -lpn" and look for a process that has port 25 (SMTP) open. If you do, then you already have an MTA running (probably postfix) and you don't need sendmail. Check "man alternatives" for how the system deals with postfix/sendmail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Do you know where _your_ towel is? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
