Sent > If I was debugging it, I'd check the arguments to slocal for > correctness, and check the permissions on directories from / down to No, the best way is to send a mail WITHOUT using slocal. Then copy your mailbox to foo and debug slocal separated from sendmail. /usr/lib/mh/slocal -verbose -user sharat < foo This is also a good way to test a new maildelivery file. If this works try to use it with sendmail. My sendmail dislikes ALL flags to slocal. I don't why and I'm running MH6.4 so I don't have any manual page to slocal describing all the options. If anyone have a manual page to slocal I would be pleased if someone could send it to me. About the bugs it was "some :-)" in the slocal, rcvstore and rcvtty. But it was 1 year since I fixed them in 6.4 NOT 6.5. I didn't have access to 6.5 sources. I asked for the diffs between the MH distributed with bsd4.3 and MH6.5, but all I got was nilpointers :-) Sven-Ove Westberg, CAD, University of Lulea, S-951 87 Lulea, Sweden.
