Hello Cindy,

Thanks for the useful info!

Now, may I ask how you did these? By modifying the cf file? Could you 
show me how 1 and 2 are changed in the cf file?

Another question, doesn't number 1 cause problems if you're no longer 
queueing messages to sendmail? What happens if they can't be processed or
are not delivered? How is delivery ensured if messages don't get queued?

Thanks again,
Ricardo
