Hi, where can I find the MEANING of the mailer error number such as: Mar 14 13:21:16 slic sendmail[14131]: mailer error, mailer=ether error=69 Mar 14 14:48:39 slic sendmail[934]: mailer error, mailer=local error=67 I would like to know what does the error number mean. Are [14131] and [934] the PID's of the sendmail childs ? Thanks. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Jit Keong Tan | internet: jit@slic.cellbio.duke.edu (919) 684-8098 | bitnet : tan00001@dukemc.bitnet

A hack (like me) would `grep 69 /usr/include/sys/errno.h` and apply imagination, experience, and perhaps some fine manual to the result. > Are [14131] and [934] the PID's of the sendmail childs ? They're PID's of sendmail's tho not necessarily children of the sendmail running with '-bd -q15m'. Think of UUCP and of out going mail. If you really care about this stuff, read the sendmail documentation we ship. Unhappily, it's the best you can get, straight from Dr. Sendmail himself. Be warned that sendmail.cf is known to cause early onset Alzhiemer's in 37% of those exposed. Vernon Schryver, vjs@sgi.com
