I've looked thru all the stuff at sendmail.org (or whatever its name is now, they seem to have gone corporate...) and don't see anything relating to this: I get a series of log entries in /var/log/maillog, once or twice a day at various times--not 12 or 24 hours apart. not always the identical series either. here's the latest one: Oct 27 21:28:55 fcshome sendmail[7939]: starting daemon (8.14.7): SMTP+queueing at 01:00:00 Oct 27 21:28:56 fcshome sendmail[7980]: starting daemon (8.14.7): SMTP+queueing at 01:00:00 Oct 27 21:28:56 fcshome sm-msp-queue[7992]: starting daemon (8.14.7): queueing at 01:00:00 Oct 27 21:29:19 fcshome sendmail[8054]: starting daemon (8.14.7): SMTP+queueing at 01:00:00 Oct 27 21:29:19 fcshome sm-msp-queue[8093]: starting daemon (8.14.7): queueing at 01:00:00 Oct 27 21:29:19 fcshome sendmail[8095]: starting daemon (8.14.7): SMTP+queueing at 01:00:00 Anyone have a clue what this is all about? and why so many? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, And my hope is in you all day long. -------------------------- Psalm 25:4-5 (NIV) --------------------------------
