Could you be more specific? :-) Which version of the package did you FTP? What was the exact error message, and what was the source code context which triggered it? I have succeeded in getting sendmail 5.61+IDA going here, with sources originally obtained by FTP from eng.clemson.edu. I used the Domain/OS C compiler, not gcc. A few small patches were needed: these are available by anonymous FTP from maths.su.oz.au (login as username "ftp", and give your email address as password). The file in question is sendmail.5.61-apo.Z (4208 bytes). I thought about upgrading to the newer sendmail 5.64+IDA. But there have been a number of reports of problems with that version. It uses flock() for file locking: this should be an improvement, but may need some thinking about under Domain/OS. So I decided to stick with 5.61 for the time being. -- Jim Richardson Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia Internet: jimr@maths.su.oz.au Phone: +61 2 692 2232 FAX: +61 2 692 4534
