Thanks Paul!
That has definately moved me closer to my goal. I'm hoping yourself, or
another sendmail guru can help me get further. My definintion now looks
like this:
Mdbmail, P=/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp, F=DFMSPhnu9,
S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP,
R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP,
T=X-Unix, U=dbmail,
A=dbmail-smtp -u $u
...basically a copy of the existing procmail definition tweaked for
dbmail. dbmail-smtp is getting invoked, but doesn't seem to be getting
passed the user. I replaced dbmail-smtp with a shell script which just
saved the arguments it was called with and it is just getting
"dbmail-smtp -u". $u doesn't seem to be getting passed. Weird, as it
seems to be getting set...in the sendmail header format definition
there is a "for $u" as part of the Received: header. This shows up in
the dbmail-smtp log messages;
read_header(): found header [From root Wed Mar 19 21:06:47 2003
Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (8.11.6/8.11.6) id h2K26lX08970 ^Ifor
[EMAIL PROTECTED]; Wed, 19 Mar 2003 21:06:47 -0500 Date: Wed, 19
Mar 2003 21:06:47 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is the address I have set up to use. Later on
I get:
mail_adr_list(): found 0 emailaddresses
...
Mar 19 21:06:47 vps1 dbmail/smtp[8973]: __auth_query(): executing query
[SELECT user_idnr FROM users WHERE userid='']
Mar 19 21:06:47 vps1 dbmail/smtp[8973]: insert_messages(): user [] does
not exist
Aggh! I hate sendmail :)

Hi Scott,
I'm stuck with a couple of SM installations as well :-(
I haven't done dbmail/sendmail and hope never to do so, but I do have
a pretty good idea of how to go about it.
You have basically two main routes for messages to take into dbmail:
- mailertable-based, and procmail.
Since the procmail route differs in no way from what you'd do in any
other mta, I'm guessing you're interested in the former.
You'll want to be able to enter into your mailertable file stuff like:
somedomain.org dbmail:
.somedomain.org dbmail:
Of course you'll have to define the dbmail mailer in sendmail.mc,
something like:
Mdbmail, P=/usr/sbin/dbmail-smtp, F=lsDq90, D=$z:/,
T=X-Unix, U=dbmail:dbmail, A=dbmail-smtp -u $u
I havent tested this though. Your flags may vary.

Hi all,
I am a postfix admin who hasn't touched a sendmail installation in
some time...I've been asked to implement dbmail as the main message
store on a stock RedHat 7.2 system running sendmail + procmail as the
MDA. Care anyone share their experiences with this? Unfortunately
replacing the MTA with somethine else is not an option at this time.
Any help, or pointers to docs/howtos would be much appreciated!
