Damn!
Why didn't that work?
Back to 'man sendmail'...
.

Hmmm. I sent a message to myself and put a "." on a single line and received 
it complete. If the problem is my sendmail settings, why does it work fine 
when I send a message to myself but not messages from the list?
Can someone send a mail message to me directly, bypassing the list? Oh, and 
put a "." on a line by itself somewhere in the message...

Thanks, 
Tim
