Call sendmail to do the work. man sendmail forgive me, but i just read the manpage and didn't see a clear answer. i did however, notice the -qf option but i'm not sure if that's where i should be focusing. i'm also a little unclear by "you don't want to do this. call sendmail to do the work." do you mean i should be writing out the entire message to the command line one at a time (and forget about writing any files) or do you mean i should still create the files (not necessarily in the outgoing directory) and then make sendmail aware of them so that it can process them? thanks, chris. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
