Hi Tomas,

Thanks for the suggestion. My SM was indeed set to SMTP. I changed that to
sendmail, then tweeked a couple things in sendmail to clean up the
Authentication-Warning messages I was then getting when my apache user was
trying to use sendmail and change the sender address. BTW, to get rid of
those warnings add:

FEATURE(`use_ct_file')

to your submit.mc and rebuild/install it. I had tried it in my sendmail.mc
but it didn't seem to clean up the warnings so I added it to submit.mc and
that did it. Once you've rebuilt your submit.mc file you'll then want to
create the /etc/mail/trusted-users file and add the username your web
server runs as in it.

Anyway, this seems to have done the trick for me. My ID's are now working
quite nicely. Thanks again Tomas!

-Gary
