I have looked everywhere I could think of (/ /var/spool/mqueue >/var/spool /var/tmp) for core files but can not find any. There are no >messages in system logs. I had the same problem and just now solved it. I forgot that the dynamic loader library tables haven't been created at this point in the boot sequence - they're done as one of the last things in /etc/rc. That means that ANYTHING started before then has to be statically linked, and sendmail wasn't. Change the Makefile to use -Bstatic on the link line. You'll probably also have to add -ldbm and -lresolv - Brian
