Sam, I've been using Mandrake 10.1 and I followed the install instructions with only option of --with-redhat only (I believe -- I didn't keep exact notes on what I did) since the config script recommended it. I did'nt give a second thought to be a problem with the installation since the script had recommended it and that everything appeared to work fine after the install except for sendmail. I did have problems getting the webadmin to properly work but I believe that was the because of some of my apache server issues, which I'm still working on. That's all I did to get the sendmail permissions set like that. I assure you I didn't change permissions manually or use any other options in the configuration.
I had my Redhat server die on me recently and I needed to get my e-mail working again and I wanted to give courier a try. It appears to be working fine and I like what I see so far. Thanks for the good work on courier. Just a thought ... during the installation I saw comments about BSD installation checks or queries. I know Mandrake is closer to RedHat than any other distribution as I have read. This might be a clue. I guess I could reattempt another install to give you more detail of what I did ... but I don't have a replacement SCSI drive for my Redhat server to handle my e-mail. So, I have to leave it as it is for now until I get that server running again. The Mandrake 10.1 I'm using was solely to be used as a large storage center, not e-mail. Thanks for you help, Bruce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sam Varshavchik Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 4:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [courier-users] sendmail works with root but not users (#1 solved) ... done Bruce Johnson writes: > Nolan, that was the ticket. :) Thanks.
