the messages (with the exception of the icmplog thing) are normal. The behaviour sounds like a mail loop, the message means that a message with the ID [EMAIL PROTECTED] is being sent from root to mail. If you are getting the same message every time then I would be checking aliases and forwards for mail and root and then killing sendmail and 'rm -rf'ing the /var/spool/mqueue dir to purge any mail that the thing has generated. Also try a mailq to see what mail is in the queue before cactusing it. Nikolai
