I was assuming you knew these were RH distributions. That is the reason I
did not bother saying Red Hat vs. 4.2, etc. Of course these are R. H.
versions. I am still running 8.9.3 as my mail server on 6.0 (RED HAT). I
have not made the jump to 8.10 as it is a production server that has 400+
users accessing it. You learn quickly in the ISP business not to mess with
something that is working and in production unless you can test it
thoroughly on another server. Other wise you get some very irritated users
if something goes wrong. I was not aware of 8.10 defaulting to /etc/mail but
I seriously doubt that the individual who wrote in was using 8.10 because it
is not with the stock distribution and as they said they were new to Linux.
