Thanks for the reply Eric, at the least it made me realise that using a pipe I didn't need to dump the file first and thus make it a two line job.
I still get the same problem, however, and I can safely say it's because I've screwed up sendmail somehow. "Mail" tries to send as: [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is obviously wrong, as I'm just [EMAIL PROTECTED], and my sendmail logs tell me: My unqualified host name (Pancreas) unknown... However mail still works properly from Pine (as I use here, and in Netscape, etc, which uses something different for mail transport anyway IIRC). as a sample, my sendmail.mc contains: define('confDOMAIN_NAME',`$w.dingoblue.net.au')dnl define('SMART_HOST',`mail.dingoblue.net.au')dnl FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl Is any of this incorrect, or should I be looking elsewhere?
