There were several changes needed for sendmail and they are all (well mostly) included in the docs. Going from memory... 1. the access line needs some new parameters in sendmail.mc 2. if you're using sasl then you have to add a "DontBlameSendmail" line in sendmail.mc so that /etc/sasldb can be read by sendmail (sendmail is no longer running as root) 3. sendmail.cf is now in /etc/mail instead of /etc I think that was all. -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
