In this example: /usr/bin/mail11 david David dal1 'in%"david@dalcs.uucp"' VMS mail is seeing in%"david@dalcs.uucp" You should try 1. back-slashing the single quotes in the mail command at the shell prompt EG, % mail dal1::\'in%"david@dalcs.uucp"\' 2. Make sure that you do not have the 's' flag on in sendmail.cf for the Dmail mailer. I bet you do... Try it with, instead of: MDmail, P=/usr/bin/mail11, F=mnsF, S=14, R=23, A=mail11 $f $x $h $u use this: MDmail, P=/usr/bin/mail11, F=mnF, S=14, R=23, A=mail11 $f $x $h $u I cannot think of anything this would break... Oh, in case you don't know, after changing sendmail.cf... 1. run /usr/lib/sendmail -bz 2. Kill the running sendmail and restart it (us ps to find and kill and then start it up just as it is in the rc.local file). Fred
