Hi, All...
Well, after a couple of suggestions from people here, I have
disabled sendmail on my system (sendmail_flags="NO" in
/etc/sysconfig) and "ordinary" mail between users works
Ok (just typing 'mail' at a system prompt).
...but I've tried to use Pine as the mailer and I'm back to
the same old problem when sending mail between users on the
system, viz:
Mail Queue (5 requests)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------

...and the processes on the system:

Now, is there some configuration option for Pine _or_ do I
have to make further adjustments to the system to enable
Pine to work?
Many thanks for any forthcoming suggestions.
John
