I have nothing to say on mail(1) interactive usage :-) and got confused reading the man page, just as you. You could use "sendbug -P > sendbug.out" to get your report in a file and send that from a different host. Or edit the file and $ cat sendbug.out | mail -s "my bug report" -r [email protected] \ -c [email protected] [email protected] > 2. Where can I find the message that 'sendbug' composed? 'ls > /var/spool/smtpd/queue/*' does not show any messages in any of the > subfolders, did smtpd delete it because it couldn't be delivered? Do you see smtpd[30872]: warn: queue: no return path! in /var/log/maillog? Do you have a file named "dead.letter"? Marcus
