But paths.el, which I think is dumped into the emacs executable, looks for /usr/sbin/sendmail before /usr/lib/sendmail when setting sendmail-program. Perhaps your original Solaris installation had been tweaked when Emacs was built. In any case: (setq sendmail-program "/usr/lib/sendmail") You might want to put that in site-start.el instead of ~/.emacs, if there are other Emacs users on your system. --=20 Kevin Rodgers
