I understand what's going on, but there is something I'm a bit confused about. I get all the right stuff in the qf* file and if I have sendmail process it by doing a sendmail -q I see the expected behavior. But when sendmail processes the incomming messages immediately it ignores the extra R<whatever> line. The stuff all shows up in the delivered message, but sendmail doesn't act on it. So what I'm confused about is this: What is different about the way sendmail processes the queue files when it is called with the -q option and when it is just processing off smtp connections? I see the exact same behavior on 8.6.9 running on 4.1.3 and Linux. -- Michael R. Widner widner@uchicago.edu
