Gary,

Check your permission on /etc/services? You want his file to be readable by
everyone. Something like


        chmod a+r /etc/services (from the Posix shell)

should do the trick.

Regards
Jens

I have installed SENDMAIL, but get the following error when trying to send

Done.

The following message also appears in my SENDMAIL stdlist.

What is the problem?
