Greetings I have a most peculiar problem and am seeking advice.
I'm at a loss on this one. I've googled around and searched for anyone else who might have had this problem, but I've found nothing. I have two systems showing the same symptoms. /usr/bin/mail, part of the Debian mailutils package, can't send mail from the root user if Courier MTA is the local MTA. A nearly identical system using exim has no problem. Sending mail from other users on these systems works perfectly. This is also not a problem of the MTA accepting inbound mail to the root user, as I successfully receive those mails. I suspect a compatibility problem between mailutils and courier's sendmail, but I'm not sure about it, or why this is only affecting the root user. If I do, as the root user, the following single-line command; echo "I like cheese." | /usr/bin/mail -s "test root mail" -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then nothing happens -- the mail disappears into nothingness, with the exception of the following syslog message (sorrows is the local hostname); Jun 17 23:24:44 sorrows 250 Ok. The same command as any other user works just fine. -- Extra info; This is a Debian GNU/Linux host having the problems. The courier-mta package is 0.53.3-6 The mailutils package is 1:1.1+dfsg1-3.1 -- # Jesse Molina # Mail = [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Page = [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Cell = 1.602.323.7608 # Web = http://www.opendreams.net/jesse/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
