I usually restart MD/Sendmail completely when I make changes to MD.. but no matter, now that I saw what sits in the master .pl file..

Ok and that's where I get lost in where SA starts and MD ends (blame the amount of time it's been since I was last deeply in this which is no where as deeply as you or most others on this list - I miss it. not sure why, but...)

Ok, so since SA runs under MD and MD doesn't know about local users... I follow.

Would adding the "include" directive for additional configs work in the MD/SA Master config file? (that would be fine with me too since I have a script to scrub addresses from wherever I want.)

I'm assuming "yes" -- but let me know if not.

Thanks guys,

  -Ben
