This is done with the command /usr/lib/sendmail -bv [log in to unmask] (path to sendmail binary will vary by OS, this is for Solaris et al) which will print things like: $ /usr/lib/sendmail -bv [log in to unmask] mansaxel@skybar.pilsnet.sunet.se... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host skybar.pilsnet.sunet.se., user [log in to unmask] or: $ sendmail -bv dbd "|/home/blargh/dbd.sh"... deliverable: mailer prog, user |/home/blargh/dbd.sh Might enlighten. rgds -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE
