Actually, I use /etc/mail/access rather heavily (see http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/spaminator as a rudimentary example to how much I use it.), and, although I tinkered around with it to get Mailman to work via SMTPDirect, it seemed to constantly ignore whatever I put in there regarding Mailman. It is almost as if Mailman were re-writing the headers in such a way as to fool Sendmail into checking the _recipient_ of the email to see if they can relay through us..
Enough so as to make my brain hurt thinking about it. I would be interested to see what others have done in their access file or sendmail config to make everything behave.. Oh, and, yes, Sendmail 8.12.x looks like a fantastic upgrade. I have been running it on a development machine for a week and a half now (upgrading to 8.12.1 only last night) and the additional feature/configuration options regarding running under a separate user (other than root), and the differentiation between processes that handle the receiving of mail and the delivering of mail certainly adds to the security of the system. :-) Thanks! -Rich Jon Carnes wrote: >On Thursday 04 October 2001 12:03, Rich West wrote: > >>This is going to sound stupid, but, with Sendmail's new MSP >>configuration, I have been unable to get sendmail + MailMan to work >>properly.
