Modify the DS parameter in the sendmail.cf file, then restart sendmail (if you're running sendmail > 8.7.x you can get away with sending a HUP).

The "correct" way to build your sendmail configuration file is to edit the appropriate .mc file under /usr/lib/mail/cf and build with m4, but who doesn't know sendmail.cf inside and out Smilie

Cheers

I think a UNIX dummy writing question in unix dummies section is not quite supposed to know about send mail configuration inside out or he woldnt have asked Smilie

Im not sure if i did the right HUP thing, how can I make sure It's changed appropriatyly now,
