[comp.mail.sendmail] Crazy problems with sendmail

usenet@supernet.UUCP (Usenet Administrator) (07/05/90)

I have installed  smail2.5 and it seems to work fine except for one small 
problem:  sendmail apparently doesn't think my local or prog mailers are
defined anymore.

I replaced my old sendmail.cf with the one supplied with smail.  Now, whenever
mail is executed (or sendmail I assume, since I have tried to execute it 
directly and get the same error), the user is told:

No local mailer defined
No prog mailer defined

This, however, is somewhat untrue, since these mailers *are* defined in
the sendmail.cf file.  I checked.  However, now I can only assume that sendmail
is for some reason not reading in the Mailer definitions, or at least not
correctly.  Perhaps they are in the wrong place?  I don't know enough to know.

Here, for your benefit, are the lines from sendmail.cf:

Mlocal, P=/bin/lmail, F=lsDFMhumSU, S=10, R=20, A=rmail $u
#Mlocal, P=/bin/lmail, F=lsDFMhumSU,    S=10, R=10, A=rmail $u
#Mlocal, P=/bin/lmail, F=rlsDFMmn, S=10, R=20, A=mail -d $u
Mprog,  P=/bin/sh,   F=lsDFMe,   S=10, R=20, A=sh -c $u

The first commented Mlocal is the Mlocal taken from our *original* sendmail.cf.

Thanks.
