Package: sendmail Version: 8.6.12-4 /etc/rc.misc/sendmail is not processed at system startup time. (This was an intended change in the behaviour of sysvinit.) This startup script should be converted to an /etc/init.d-style script and should be placed in /etc/init.d . Sven -- Sven Rudolph (sr1@inf.tu-dresden.de); WWW : http://www.sax.de/~sr1/
