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?

Oh, I guess I should include this:
Jul 12 13:53:52 mail deliver(root): userdb(root) returned 0 as uid Jul 12 13:53:52 mail deliver(root): userdb(root) returned 0 as gid Jul 12 13:53:52 mail deliver(root): userdb(root) didn't return uid
And we have the logging turned up, so here is more information:

Standard recommendation (for sendmail and other MTA) is to create alias for root.
Sendmail procedure: In /etc/mail/asises files add:
root: some-non-privileged-user
and run newaliases command to recompile aliases file.

Hm, ok, but it worked with procmail. Since we never used to check it anyways, I might just send it to /dev/null :)
(P.S. Sorry arnaj for sending you the email to you directly before... they should fix the mailing list to do this automatically IMO.)

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.
