Good questions. I think there's pobbconf documentation that describes several steps that need to be taken. It could be that startmailsystem was forgotten in all that, but I don't know. Anyway, here's the story. startmailsystem needs to be run on every workstation from which AMS mail could be sent. Generally, it's run from /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local, as root. In order that it be available to run at startup, we figured it was best to copy it to /etc. For the same reason, it's also wise to copy the queuemail executable to the local disk also; by default, we assume it's in /etc/queuemail. Under AMDS, startmailsystem needs to run on both PO machines and user workstations. As I think is documented, the pobbconf-generated rc.local file is to be run as root on PO or BB machines. Any other questions? Craig
