On RHEL5, dovecot 1.0.7, I have set up sendmail to use
deliver
for my local mda. It keeps giving me this error for the root user though:Jul 12 12:51:29 mail sendmail[4105]: o699225f001348: to=<root@localhost.localdomain>, ctladdr=<root@localhost.localdomain> (0/0), delay=3+08:49:26, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=7502879, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL
I've tried to
chmod +s /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
, which I read might fix some of those issues, but it didn't.Anyways, here are the important changes I made in my config files for using
deliver
:== sendmail.mc == ... dnl ## Should I modify this?? define(
PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',
/usr/bin/procmail')dnl ... dnl ## Should I have "localhost.localdomain" here? It currently is not. LOCAL_DOMAIN(mydomain.com') ... FEATURE(
local_procmail',/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver',
/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(LOCAL',
-f') ... MAILER(smtp) MAILER(procmail) MAILER(local) == END ==== dovecot.conf == ... protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster@mydomain.com hostname = mydomain.com } == END ==
Any ideas, or do you need more information?
Hi,
Just a thought, but do you really want mail for root to be handled directly?
You can alias it in /etc/aliases or similar like this;
root: bradleelandis@gmail.com
Then run the command "newaliases" to update alias table. I've not used sendmail for years, but that's how I'd do it for postfix.
Regards,
