ok strange. an smmsp google gave lots of sendmail hits, that's why i assumed it. whats you mail transfer agent? (exim4, postfix, ..) does it work fine with aboves change? i guess so, as nobody uses that group the permission group setting of /var/log/mail seems more like an accident. now that logcheck should run without troubles, can you confirm? i guess we can close that bug. -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
