Well, you got that right! Thanks to both you and the other gentleman who posted, I got it working. I did have one other little interesting thing happen - if you do not have the aliases database initialized (sendmail -bi), it can take a VERY long time to get sendmail started (like, 5 1/2 minutes!). That made the confusion factor even better :-) Oh, well, its working now, thanks very much to the net! Rusty
