Re: {bb} Do I need to setup sendmail to make email notificationwork?

[Xiaoling Teng <teng@pku.edu.cn>]

Sorry, I reply to my last email. I found sendmail read the configure file /etc/mail/submit.cf when send mails out. After I changed the submit.cf file,  mail works well.
Thanks for all your help.
