But even if it is, why is it safer to send everything through the tcp/ip stack and have sendmail fork a copy of itself than to invoke it directly? If you don't know anything about the local host's mailer or you can deliver straight to the the recipient's host, your idea is the best, of course. (And if all recipients are local, you even have the option of invoking the local delivery agent directly... or just locking their mail files and appending to them ;) Kai
