Many thanks to everyone who helped me. I obtained a new copy of rmail from UUNET (~ftp/bsd-sources/bin/rmail/rmail.c) and plunked it in. At first I was *terribly* confused because it didn't seem to work, then after a bit of delving into the source, I found out that the default sendmail flag for rmail was to queue up mail. The NeXT default is to just shoot it through without queueing. So after solving that mystery, everything worked great. Again, many thanks to everyone. :-) I hope NeXT fixes this in their next release.... FYI: The rmail NeXT provides is 4.8 (Berkeley) 5/15/86 The new rmail on UUNET is 4.15 (Berkeley) 5/31/90 If there is enough demand, I will put the rmail package onto the NeXT FTP archivers. I had to make some very slight changes to make it work with NeXT's (usual stuff, library include files different, specify shared library, etc.). - Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com The Shaman Group (607) 256-5125 VOICE "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!"
