[olug] sendmail

[qcoldir at nmhs.org]

Thanks all,

I inhereted this server after the admin quit.  I agree that I would 
rather have had a working postmaster account, but he has a lot of 
aliases, etc in it.  I found the file shortly after I sent the mail.  Pretty 
straight forward.

This is a temporary admin job on my part.  We are going to either 
switch to Qmail/Share360, Outlook/Exchange or Groupwise.  The 
committee should have an answer soon...
