[Dovecot] help using sendmail LDA

[Anil]

How does your sendmail.mc configuration look like?

I just tried and used ldap for userdb instead of static, and I was
still getting the same thing. Sendmail keeps spitting out User unknown
messages.

How does sendmail work when configured like this?


This doesn't look right: (does it?)

# grep Mlocal /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Mlocal,         P=/usr/lib/mail.local, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qPSXmnz9,
S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
