It's a Unix-domain socket. The `-a' flag has no effect on this type of socket because the LMTP connection is always preauthorized as `postman', whatever that means. Here's the sendmail complaint again: Aug 27 13:05:01 setup16 sm-mta[6600]: [ID 702911 mail.warning] AUTH=client, relay=localhost [(null)], authinfo failed sendmail-8.12.0.Beta16 apparently sends the LMTP AUTH command to lmtpd, and is not happy with the response. I'm looking for a way to supress the error message, since the delivery actually succeeds. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking-
