Interesting article. I can't get the mail command to work, though. Running 10.2.6, I used the "sudo chmod g-w /" command to try & get sendmail running. Entries in mail.log show this error: Aug 20 08:40:37 Powerbook sendmail[1530]: h7KDebKA001530: from=pat, size=28, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200308201340.h7KDebKA001530@powerbook.local>, relay=pat@localhost Aug 20 08:40:42 Powerbook sendmail[1530]: h7KDebKA001530: to=pat, ctladdr=pat (501/20), delay=00:00:05, xdelay=00:00:05, mailer=relay, pri=30023, relay=localhost.local. [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.local. Any help would be appreciated.

  I got the same message. So I went back and looked at my hostconfig file. I had put lower case -yes- in the MAILSERVER line.
  
  When I changed this, stopped and restarted Sendmail, I got this error message:
  
  Starting mail services
  451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 93: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/local-host-names': Group writable directory
  
  so I sudo chmod g-w / in the etc/mail directory.
  
  That worked.
