Hi,

        Part of our attempts to secure our alphas, we will be upgrading
sendmail to 8.9.1. In addition, on our client systems, we would like to
have sendmail *not* run in bd mode and have sendmail started every 15
minutes to process queued mail. This works for pine, elm and mailer
(CDE). However, I have a few users running dxmail and mh and it doesn't
work with sendmail set up this way. We get this type of errors.

post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no smtp servers available
send: message not delivered to anyone

Is there an easy way to tweak dxmail and mh to work with my proposed
sendmail set up on clients?

Thanks,

PS. I know I owe a summary for CDE calendar server question, but I only
got 2 responses and none using it actively. I will go ahead and try a
few things and summarize after that. Sorry for the delay.
