What must be done to make sendmail do its thing for deliver?
I don't think its because anyone is snubbing you... ;)
I think one of the reasons is not as many people use sendmail anymore - I wouldn't have a clue... sorry...
I think it is more a matter of this sounding very much like strictly a Sendmail problem posed in the wrong forum for Sendmail problems, further weakened by the inclusion of no details about the specific nature of the problem or the existing configuration. A well-posed question (e.g. with log and config info) to a more suitable forum (e.g. comp.mail.sendmail) would almost surely get more response.
Ok, that's constructive. If I'm not posting enough data, please tell me. I'll get you what you need. I thought I was being quite verbose (please see some of the other posts too), but if the information isn't enough I need to know. Silence doesn't help anyone.
To some degree it probably also involves the fact that the Dovecot LDA is still something of a novelty, and it not as widely used as the traffic on this list might lead one to believe. The Dovecot LDA does not provide enough of a compelling feature set to overpower the inertia of sticking with the standard delivery agent(s). That's not specific to Sendmail.
I didn't realize this. With the wiki page on how to set it up, I figured that I should be using this.
