I'm sure someone will correct me if this info is out of date. I've only ever used up2date to get updates. Far as I know, up2date updates packages you have installed so if you don't have an out of date version installed, it doesn't grab it for you. The packages you need are sendmail and sendmail-cf or what ever version is current. Sendmail-doc is pretty useless aside from having the FAQ which is available on line anyway. None of the files are important for running sendmail. sendmail package contains the binaries, files under /etc/mail and man pages. Its essential. Sendmail-cf is essentional if you want to configure sendmail.cf using m4 as prescribed. It contains all the stuff that ends up under /usr/share/sendmail-cf You'll need it all sooner or later. Looks like you are missing the sendmail binary package. To get it, ftp to any 7.2 mirror under RedHat/RPMS or if there is an update under an update directory for 7.2. One way is to plug this into netscape http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=sendmail Scroll down the list for your distribution _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
