edit the file. Put 'localhost' on a line of its own in the file. Then issue 'killall -HUP sendmail' as root. When you're testing fetchmail, use 'fetchmail -k' so you don't actually lose anything if this doesn't work. -Dan > On Fri, Jun 09, 2000 at 01:14:56PM -0700, Jay Kelly wrote: > > Hi All, > > Is it possible to tell sendmail where to store new incoming mail.
