When a print job is cancelled by root, the user gets a mail message back informing him. If the print job was queued from a discless node, the mail gets sent to this node. On a discless node, however, the sendmail program is not supposed to be run, according to the documentation. The mail message sits round in the mailq for three days after which root gets a returned mail message. Is this a feature, or is there a way around it? ********************************************************************* Tony Burzio * You poor deluded woman!
