hi there, well we did exactly that successfully with v8.11.6 of sendmail. warning: only tested on raq2-boxes. especially one has to re-integrate the pop-before-smtp-parts into sendmail.cf after making a custom one with m4, but that's relatively easy by diff'ing the old sendmail.cf with the new one. also one has to symlink some /etc/mail/... files onto the /etc/... level so the perl-scripts of the admin-interface still find the files where they expect them. note on why not v8.12 of sendmail: 8.12 dropped the AutoRebuildAliases=True support, this could possibly break web-interface scripts that rely on sendmail rechecking for new alias-files. hth, Harald Kapper kapper.net, inc. managing director loeblichgasse 6 chief software development 1090 vienna, .at tel +43 1 3195500-0, fax +43 1 3195502, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
