I accept that sendmail is not used for reading mail, but I'm fairly sure my sendmail receives mail as well as sends it. From /var/log/mail.log : Dec 22 01:25:45 funkiest sendmail[4378]: BAA04378: from=<gnumeric [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1824, class=-30, pri=85824, nrcpts=1, msgid=<"1aOal2.0.oI2.-PTNu"@lists.redhat.com>, proto=SMTP, relay=finch-punt-12.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.36] -- Regards, Paul
