On a related note, does anyone know why IDA sendmail dumps core w/ a bus error when
one tries to freeze the configuration file? It seems to work w/ the sendmail.fc
that came with it, but not when I do it by hand.
We are running a SS10/41, Solaris 2.1. I can't remember the version of IDA sendmail
exactly, but I think that it is 1.4.1
I will summarize for the grp, so email responses are preferred.
