I'm a little foggy on what you're trying to accomplish. If you simply wish to have all email from the system redirected to another email account, simply place that other email address into the /root/.forward file. This will redirect all mail addressed to root to the other email account. I wouldn't bother with disabling Sendmail. By default, Red Hat 8.0's Sendmail is only listening on the loopback interface. There's no chance of a remote exploit. It can still be used to safely deliver outbound mail. If you're actually looking for something else, say, to use your local sendmail to relay mail to another SMTP server, please give more details. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
