Franki, Yes, I expected my experience to be just as yours was. Doing a which on sendmail brings up /usr/sbin/sendmail and this is where sendmail is executed from in my CGI scripts. As you said, this shouldn't be affected anyway.
I do still have sendmail installed but only because install instructions said I could, and recommended running both for a day or two to make sure all the old mail gets picked up. I was pretty careful to following the directions to the T. I don't think old sendmail was written over the new because it _does_ work for regular users. Or do I misunderstand? Incidentally, here is the exact test script that I'm using: ---------------- #!/usr/bin/perl open(MAIL, "|sendmail"); print MAIL "To: miark From: art\@gardnerbusiness.com Subject: test This is a test."; close MAIL; ----------------- I can run it. Art can run it. If I su to "nobody", I run it, but the mail doesn't get sent.
