hello
i got two strange problems with sendmail on my potato (i386, kernel
2.2.16, procmail 3.13.1-3) box. the problems are not exactly the same,
but they produce the same error message, and so they might have the same
cause.
i'm using sendmail 8.9.3-23, added the virtusertable
("FEATURE(virtusertable)") in sendmail.mc and configured it using webmin
0.80
i asked about this problem in irc channel #debian on irc.debian.org,
checked the bug reports and sendmail.org, but i didn't find anything
usable.
first problem:
trying to send mail to any address on that system using mutt will result
in a "Returned mail: see transcript for details". i get the following
information (my local user name is cockroach, from: address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and to: is [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(reason: 553 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... >cockroach<@desire.ch.)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mail.desire.ch.:
>>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=513
<<< 553 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... >cockroach<@desire.ch.
501 5.6.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Data format er
if i use a different mail program (tested with netscape messenger) it
works.
second problem:
i can't send mail directly to a user (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]), but
only to entries in the virtual usertable. i get exactly the same error
message as mentioned above.
this problem occurs from _EVERY_ client which is not run in a local
shell.
as i'm not on this mailinglist, please send a CC of your replies to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
thanks a lot
stefan
