That is probably the problem.  I don't seem to be running
any of them.  I will install postfix and see if that fixes
the problem.

Is there any reason to be running sendmail *and* postfix on
the same system?  (One of the IT managed systems here are
set up that way.)

(Sorry if you get two of these.  Agilent's email system is
not working well.)

  Time flys like an arrow.  Fruit flys like a banana.
  Shoe flys don't bother me.
