Therein lies my confusion! I would not have thought that would be an 
issue either. Apparently, Sendmail requires a "parent" directory, or the 
default group directory to be defined. All created queues must be within 
that directory.

I found this based on a search of the error. Unfortunately my BatBook is 
too old for the new features of 8.13.8. The entire problem might be have 
been related to using two milters.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
