Well, part of the problem was that I had /sys/log/smtpd set mode 664
instead of 666. I changed that, and now I'm seeing the following in my
log file:
csplan9 Jun 20 14:41:51 helo from 130.203.4.6 as mail.cse.psu.edu
csplan9 Jun 20 14:41:51 [mail.cse.psu.edu/130.203.4.6]
cse.psu.edu!9fans-bounces+john=csplan9.rit.edu -> csplan9.rit.edu!john
sendercheck: error
Shed any light on the matter?
Thanks to John-Galt on #plan9, I found out that it's also necessary to
have /sys/log/smtpd.mx, because the validatesender script apparently
doesn't have the cojones to create its own.
Anyway, /sys/log may end up getting the temporary flag, because
although the logs are useful, I don't see any reason to preserve a
bunch of mail logs for all posterity.
Thanks
John
