Nope, it's nothing weird, just a faulty recollection of how I did my testing several years ago. I realize now that the two sendmail processes only communicate with eachother through SMTP. The files in the server queue must have been left there by a previous sendmail run in which the authentication failed. I was testing two executables, one of which was not built with SASL libraries. > PS: the simplest way to test what the server does is to use > sendmail -Am ... > (requires root). -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
