Hi Stewart, > /etc/nmh/mts.conf, owned by root, has mod 600.
Valdis guessed correctly in his email to the list then! Looks like a bug in nmh's Makefile; it produces mts.conf by re-directing the output of sed, but a umask of 077 would leave the file as 600. > I am very grateful for your help (may hope to have it again). No problem; always happy to help a colonial. :-) -- Cheers, Ralph. -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
