Nun mein Problem: Ich habe über den cyradm eine Mailbox erstellt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Und Sendmail nimmt Mails für diese Domain an. Beim versuch jedoch eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] zu schicken wird im Mail.log eingetragen, das der user nicht vorhanden wäre. Es wird aus [EMAIL PROTECTED] beim überprüfen testdomain.tld!user.test. Dies kann er natürlich nicht erfolgreich gegenüber dem Cyrus authentifizieren. Ich bin der Verzweifelung nahe. Ich schaffe es nicht [EMAIL PROTECTED] gegenüber dem cyrus zu Authentifizieren. Meinetwegen darf die Mailbox auch [EMAIL PROTECTED] heißen. Ich habe versucht die cyrusv2.m4 anzupassen, aber ohne erfolg. Ich vermute das er im Ruleset 3 aus dem [EMAIL PROTECTED] einen UUCP Namen macht. Is das richtig ?

Re: problem installing Sendmail
I'm familiar with, and comfortable with, Sendmail. So, when Debian tries to install Exim I just say, No thank you, and install Sendmail. It was no problem at all. I think... based on what I've heard here on this topic, that If I Had It To Do Over Again, that is what I would do also. But I'm a lot less sanguine about uninstalling exim now and installing sendmail instead, reassurances about clean uninstalls notwithsatanding. This all does remind me, however, of dealing with competing EDA packages: one could always get support out of an EDA vendor as long as they were aware that you might shift allegiance to their competition at the drop of a hat. So maybe competing MDAs aren't such a bad thing... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are enough differences between rpm-based distros and deb-based distros without making them up. If you want to differentiate between the two package management systems, then do your research instead of inventing facts. rpm packages can have scripts to run at install time, and at uninstall time. rpm also have triggers which, I think, are scripts to run when some other package is installed/removed. If fact, I think that since rpm lacks few features of dpkg, and has some that I'd like to see incorporated into dpkg: Can dpkg verify the integrity of installed pakcages? rpm can. Can dpkg tell you when packages were installed?rpm can. Can dpkg produce a formatted list (think printf) of installed packages and/or their contents? rpm can. The most significant difference between the Debian and RH approaches to package management is that, until recently RH had nothing equivalent to apt-get and such. Now, the rpm world has up2date, yum and even apt-get. I have used (lightly) up2date and it seemed quite as nice as apt-get: better if you find a GUI helps your productivity. I have not used yum or apt-get on an rpm-based system, nor synaptic and aptitude on Debian, so I won't comment further on those. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: problem installing Sendmail
What do you mean, may come back ... again? I believe sendmail is still the most widely used MTA on the Internet. It's never gone away. Well, I don't keep track of these things in detail. I started hacking sendmail in 1984 or something, I forget. It looked like it worked OK to me. Then sometime a few years back I noticed that it had been replaced with something (smail?) on one of the Sun systems I was working on. Since then I've noticed various other MTAs proliferating. Since I primarily view computers as a means to and end and not an end in themselves, AFAIK cows come and cows go, but the bull stays around forever, so I just deal with whatever has landed in my lap at the moment and try to make it work. When I installed Debian, somehow I ended up with exim, which means it must have installed by default, since I wouldn't have picked it, because I didn't know what it was. So, by dint of the fact that it installed by default, I expect it must be Mail Transfer Agent of the Week, or Current Trendy Mail Transfer Agent, or whateveritis... If I really thought sendmail was going to ultimately triumph and win the Battle of the Mail Transfer Agents, I would probably have installed it, and support is definitely the main issue, since sooner or later whatever trendy MTA I happen to be using is going to break. You could be right; exim and smail and flailmail and everybodybailmail and whatever else could all lose in the end, and I could end up wasting the time I'm spending learning to bludgeon exim into compliance. Wouldn't be the first time I've followed a vapid software trend to perdition... won't be the last... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

It is available. Fire up one of the installers, turn off what you don't want, turn on what you do, then let 'er rip. You may need to be in something like Custom Install Mode or something to get this, but that's just to save newbie butts. You can do what you want to. I thought about that, but, (1) since exim is already installed as an MTA, I was dubious about installing *another* one, *whether or not* I would have to uninstall exim. Knowing no more than I do, I would suspect that I might end up in more trouble, and end up spending more time that way, than I would by just learning about exim, (2) I notice that sendmail is a virtual link to the exim executable - which causes me to further suspect possible miscegenation between sendmail support facilities (possibly even in the kernel) and exim support facilities - which then causes further paranoia per (1). (I have many, many burn scars... some of them in unmentionable places...), (3) if, and not when, the MTA I'm using blows up and embeds shrapnel and rice grains in my butt, the most important thing will be, for which MTA I can get some support - which is determined by the multivariable trendiness index of the product...

What is that fmx1 thing? (I found lines with fmx2 and fmx3 in

this is one of the mail exchangers for freemail.hu from my
DNS query it has several:
freemail.hu preference = 30, mail exchanger = fmx3.freemail.hu
freemail.hu preference = 30, mail exchanger = fmx4.freemail.hu
freemail.hu preference = 10, mail exchanger = fmx.freemail.hu
freemail.hu preference = 30, mail exchanger = fmx1.freemail.hu
freemail.hu preference = 30, mail exchanger = fmx2.freemail.hu
How can I make sendmail to work?
appears your system is unable to resolve the address
of the mail exchanger. check your /etc/resolv.conf
and use nslookup to check to see if you can resolve it
outside of sendmail.
if your using a dialup i reccomend configuring sendmail
to use a smarthost, and relay through your isp's mail
server.
when configuring sendmail ('sendmailconfig') be sure to
enable DNS (default), i turn off assume best MX is local,

Here is a short description of my set up: my hostname: nexus.shadowrun.not my login: fastjack desired sender address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I added the following lines to my sendmail.mc: [...] dnl masquerading options GENERICS_DOMAIN(`nexus.shadowrun.not')dnl MASQUERADE_AS(`gmx.net')dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl dnl genericstable options FEATURE(`genericstable',`hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl [...] my /etc/mail/genericstable contains the following line: fastjack[EMAIL PROTECTED] When I start a queue run sendmail tries to deliver the mails to my smarthost with [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the sender. What is wrong here? It used to work before. Cheers Martin

Sender domain must exist Your mail is tripping over your anti-spam rules - in this case, one of the check_mail hacks which tests the validity of the originating e-mail address. Remove that from your m4 configuration and rebuild sendmail.cf and at least that problem should go away. When doing this you should make sure that you don't disable the anti-spam features (particularly not the anti-relay one). For a DNSless box you probably want to use a MTA other than sendmail - it is quite DNS-happy at the best of times. At least Exim and Postfix can be configured to operate completely without DNS, possibly others can too. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFShttp://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/ pgp5JSHiEhFma.pgp Description: PGP signature

problem with sendmail
I've set up my sendmail daemon to just forward my mail to my provider's smart relay host mail.online-club.de. It worked pretty well until earlier this week. All of a sudden though I get messages like Deferred: 451 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Deferred by rule. Obviously no mail goes out. I checked the relay host and sendmail tries to deliver to post.strato.de. I never even heard about that domain. I just talked to my provider (since this could have been a name server problem) and they told me that strato is not their upstream provider. However, it is a provider too. So all of a sudden my system tries to deliver mail through the wrong companies smtp host. Does anyone have an idea how this could happen? No, I did not change any software or configuration in between. Thanks a lot in advance for any idea. Michael P.S.: Please CC me on replies. -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!
