As you can see, sendmail is seriously malfunctining. I have seen this same bug accross three platforms with a wide variety of linux kernels from 2.2.14 to 2.2.18 to 2.4.0-10. This is your bug, and noone else's. How do we get it fixed or is it possibly a configuration error. Jeff Claus Assmann wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 10, 2000, Jeff V.
