I'm quite dumb when it comes to sendmail. That /etc/sendmail.cf
file is WAY over my head. It has never been modified.
Setting up RHL 5.1 with about 30 active user accounts. It will
be an IMAP server internal to my organization and forward mail
for a few accounts to a district MS exchange box. An
/etc/aliases file has been set up to map my user's NT names to
the unix counterparts; I ran newaliases. ALL incoming mail is
sent to root. No global forwards have been set up. Procmail or
other mail delivery agent has not been used, only fetchmail to
pull internet email off a multi-drop box until we get our DS-3 in
a few months. I have a very simple configuration:
.fetchmailrc:
poll site with protocal pop3:
user username to
user1
user2
user3
here
password pw;
/etc/aliases:
ntname1: unixname
ntname2: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
User accounts for ALL mail recipients have been created whether
they are used or mail is forwarded.
I noticed this broke when I added an entry to /etc/sendmail.cw
this morning and restarted sendmail. Unfortunately, taking that
out and rerunning sendmail doesn't fix the problem. I don't know
where else to look for problems. /etc/var/maillog just shows
entries of mail being sent to root as if root was the recipient.
There are no error messages, just email going to the wrong user:
root.
Any clues?
Thanks!
Kevin
