RTM,
Your are right. I tested it the other day and found that when I tested it I had moved the symbolic link to /usr/sbin/sendmail and not the actual sendmail program.
When I moved the program, I got the same result as you.
I will go back to my server and move sendmail back to it's homely place now
I greatly appreciate you correcting my error..... I thought I had checked it but actually moved the symlink and not the actual sendmail program
