Sendmail works, per the below. I emailed this aliases file using the .forward file, which had my [log in to unmask] account. How does my aliases file look? I just rebooted to, no joy. I'll try an older aliases and sendmail.cf file All of these user profiles in this aliases file will not accept emails. If I rem out these aliases entries for say listserv, listserv will get the email. I'm using a precompiled lsv_amin. It all was working too, this is not a new install. segate.sunet.se$ /usr/lib/sendmail -bv [log in to unmask] "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin -t listserv"... deliverable: mailer prog, user "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin -t listserv" segate.sunet.se$ Mine is a bit different because I'm using the precompiled version of lsv_amin. virginia:/etc # sendmail -bv [log in to unmask] "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /home/listserv/spool listserv"... deliverable: mailer prog, user "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /home/listserv/spool listserv" virginia:/etc # ... If I had heart failure right now, I couldn't be a more fortunate man!! I like that....

This did work. I installed ssh on this box is all. Still, I have to have Ssh, I can't go back now. Of course you do need ssh ;-) Really, it should not matter. What does the aliases file look like? Have you rebuilt it? What is the output of " sendmail -bv listserv@<your hostname here> "?
