[courier-users] /usr/bin/mail no longer functions

[Matthew Pullen]

Hola,   I have installed the latest version of courier, and have run into a problem with mail from local users to local users on the box.   Setup: I am using courier estmp and imap (along with other unrelated services) SMTP is auth required=0 with a relay of 127.0.0.1 and of the system ip address. Mail users are using authmysql for relay auth and imap reciept      I had the /usr/bin/mail  binary I assume installed with Sendmail, but was on the system from day one.  I have scripts that run and need to mail the local admin on the box itself upon certain events Ex: echo “you are the greatest” | /usr/bin/mail –s “Daily Peptalk” postmaster   This command example no longer works after the courier install/config   When tailing the maillog, I see nothing from this command. I can find nothing in standard out, standard error or any other known log either.   I tried sym-linking /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail to /usr/bin/mail and using it, but it does not have analogous functionality. So, any help on how to get the standard mail binary to work with courier would be great.   Cheers,   Matthew
