That was my guess, too. Or, at least I think it must have something to do with sendmail. I am using the NeXT sendmail.cf, i.e... /etc/sendmail total 31 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 1196 Apr 6 17:46 aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 Apr 6 17:53 aliases.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1024 Apr 6 17:53 aliases.pag lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 20 Apr 6 17:44 sendmail.cf@ -> sendmail.mailhost.cf -r--r--r-- 2 root 9778 Apr 6 19:28 sendmail.mailhost.cf -r--r--r-- 1 root 8550 Sep 7 1989 sendmail.sharedsubsidiary.cf -rw-r--r-- 2 root 0 Apr 6 19:22 sendmail.st -r--r--r-- 1 root 8297 Sep 7 1989 sendmail.subsidiary.cf I thought the problem was related to the following sections of the .cf file: ================================================================ ############################################################ #### ##### DDN Mailer specification ##### ##### Send mail on the Defense Data Network ##### (such as Arpanet or Milnet) Mddn, P=[TCP], F=msDFMuCX, S=22, R=22, A=TCP $h, E=\r\n [.....] # If you want to pass all other explicit domain names up the ladder # to our forwarder then uncomment the following line. R$*<@$*.$+>$* $#$M $@$R $:$1<@$2.$3>$4 user@any.domain # and comment out this one. #R$*<@$+.$->$* $#ddn $@ $2.$3 $:$1<@$2.$3>$4 user@any.domain ================================================================ ... but when I commented out the line with the "#ddn" and uncommented the "#$M" one, shutdown and rebooted the machine, there was no change. As far as I can see, the only place there is a E=\r\n in the file is on the Mddn line, and the only place ddn is called as a mailer is in the commented-out line. Perhaps sendmail is reading another default sendmail.cf, and my changes are not having an effect? Could it have something to do with Netinfo? Thanks for the help. I am going to be working on this today, perhaps I'll find something. --- Paul Homchick :UUCP {rutgers | uunet} !cbmvax!cgh!paul Chimitt Gilman Homchick, Inc. :Internet cgh!paul@dsi.com 259 Radnor-Chester Rd, Suite 140 :MCI PHOMCHICK Radnor, PA 19087-5299 :GEnie HOMCHICK -- Paul Homchick :UUCP {rutgers | uunet} !cbmvax!cgh!paul Chimitt Gilman Homchick, Inc. :Internet cgh!paul@dsi.com 259 Radnor-Chester Rd, Suite 140 :MCI PHOMCHICK Radnor, PA 19087-5299 :GEnie HOMCHICK
