It may be caused by /bin/mail because I have Mlocal to /bin/mail in /usr/lib/sendmail.cf biff y does not work anymore This problem occured after shuffeling with the hostname/uucpname. Anybody familiar with this problem? : gertjan vinkesteyn, SIL DALLAS ..{allegra,ctvax,ihnp4,rice,uiucds,unmvax}!convex!smu!txsil!gertjan
