I believe at one time the sendmail macros where even in the hack group. Most people create unix accounts so pop can authenticate, which I think isn't necessary, better to push the authentication off to smtp authentication imho. Which most modern MTAs this simple to setup too. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 http://www.linuxjustworks.com | Linux Just Works!
