That's true, I wasn't able to find any mention of sendmail in the source either. But if I don't set MAILER, it seems to find that anyway. I've checked my backup user's environment, and it doesn't set MAILER either. Perhaps I have a link somewhere to sendmail that shouldn't be there. I suppose I'll just go ahead and keep setting MAILER=/usr/bin/Mail. One more small dependency is not too bad, I guess. Thanks for spending the time to help with such a minor problem. Josh
