Alsways wondered about that, never quite understood the reasoning for it being the default.

Thanks, Ben, for the warning. Usually I have a simple sendmail using SuSE defaults to send only (fetchmail for incoming) no intentional relaying. I have this in sendmail.rc.config SENDMAIL_ARGS="-bd -om" SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE="yes" If I change to simply : SENDMAIL_ARGS="-om" will I have the correct set up? Regards, dproc
