Strange sendmail activity associated with imp

[Chris Crowley]

Hey all -


It seems that imp is calling two instances of sendmail for each message. One
run as root, and on running as nobody.  Can you confirm this is the normal
behavior?

 8 S     root  6871  6870  0  47 20 61b07b40    297          14:22:31 ?
0:00 /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -fmmm@tulane.
 8 S   nobody  6870 19943  0  57 20 6ca50e90    116 6ca50f00 14:22:31 ?
0:00 sh -c /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -f"mmm@

I am seeing this because of some abnormal network behavior not associated
with imp.  But it backed up the sendmail processes, so I thought to confirm
it.

Thank you.

Chris
