Looks like you have a different username in your From line than your actual login username. Sendmail balks at that unless you're listed on the TrustedUser line in sendmail.cf. I think you can also run sendmail with a -f switch to get around that restriction. In either case, you'll probably have to have root on the box in question to restart sendmail. -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr All things in moderation.
