I recently started to use sendmail on one of our customers machine. The problem that i then discovered was the following: The mkdev cf command generates a bad line in the sendmail.cf file. The line is: Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=DFMhuU, S=13, R=23, M=100000, A=uux - -r -z -a\$f -gC \$h!rmail (\$u) the -z flag tells uux that return success notification to the user and the -a\$f flag sets the user that will receive the notification. Change this 2 lines to: Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=DFMhuU, S=13, R=23, M=100000, A=uux - -r -gC $h!rmail ($u) Don`t forget to freeze the configuration after the changes. The other problem is that the rmail program that follow with the TCP/IP sendmail package is broken. I haven't got it working so I used smail2.5 sources (from comp.sources.unix - a long time ago) and replaced /bin/rmail with it. Then everything works ok.
