As I think I explained in at least a mail message, you still need to run
sendmail as your SMTP listener, and get it to pass mail destined for
local recipients to /etc/queuemail. The sendmail.cf that's generated
from {andrew}/overhead/pobbconf/sendmail.cf.pobb will do this, but it's
specialized to the Internet mail case (e.g. no UUCP).
(Warning to the easily-revolted: raw sendmail code follows.)
In outline, you do this. In sendmail.cf ruleset 0, you shoud replace
all the lines that resolve to the mailer named ``local'' with lines that
resolve to a mailer named something else; I'll use the name ``Xlocal''.
Thus, for example, you'd replace the line
R$+ $#local$:$1 local names
with
R$+ $#Xlocal$:$1 local names
Replace all the uses of ``local'', or at least all where you expect to
receive mail.
Now, you have to define this mailer, too. I use the definition:
MXlocal, P=/etc/queuemail, F=nlmuFD, S=10, R=20, A=queuemail -r $g -i -s -T -A 0;transarc.com;Network-Mail -a $u
(all on one line). Thus, instead of sending local mail to the ``local''
mailer, you'll be sending it to the ``Xlocal'' mailer, which delivers it
by piping it to an invocation of /etc/queuemail with the given
arguments. (The ``-A 0;transarc.com;Network-Mail'' option says that
this mail is unauthenticated according to AMDS, no matter who actually
delivers it; you might wish to change the domain name transarc.com to
your favorite local domain name.) Why do this, and not simply change
the ``local'' mailer to run /etc/queuemail instead of /bin/mail? It's
like this: sendmail recognizes the mailer called ``local'' and performs
services for it that AMDS doesn't want, such as lookup/recognition of
local user names, or substitution of /usr/lib/aliases names.
Does that answer your questions?

Now I 've configure two daemons, a outgoing daemon and a delivery
daemon which use /etc/oldsendmail to deliver Internet mail. But
how can I received mails form Internet? We used to use
/usr/lib/sendmail -bd to listen to the SMTP port for incoming
mail from other hosts. How can I get the same listenning function
in AMSD?

This has now gotten to the point of sendmail lore. (a) You must leave the local mailer alone. Sendmail insists on its being there. (b) You must define a new mailer (in addition to the old ``local'' mailer) that uses /etc/queuemail to deliver mail. (c) You must change ruleset 0 in sendmail.cf to pass local mail to the new (e.g. ``Xlocal'') mailer rather than to the old ``local'' mailer. It would appear that you didn't do step (c). You might also not have done step (a); I don't know. You didn't send me (not the list, please) your sendmail.cf. I've only used AMDS in an environment where host names are fully-qualified. I guess you'll find out how it does when they're not. Craig

But they all resulted the same; two files, dfAAXXXXX and qfAAXXXXX queued in the directory /usr/spool/mqueue for each outside mail. I enclosed a sample of these files. Is there still anything needed to be modified in the sendmail.cf? Can I make queuemail to output some logfiles for debuggging whenever it is invoked by /usr/lib/sendmail? :::::::::::::: dfAA01307 :::::::::::::: REPLY!! :::::::::::::: qfAA01307 :::::::::::::: P1302 T660300188 DdfAA01307 MDeferred S<sung@next> H?P?return-path: <sung@next> Hreceived: from next (next) by w2sun2.
