Those are annoying, but benign messages


If a message that contains the word 'error' in capitals with three stars
all over the place is benign, it makes you wonder how a severe message
would appear! Perhaps the word 'error' should be replaced with
'warning', if the message is benign?


sendmailconfig needs a re-write, but I'm working on 8.13.5 and smX -
just haven't had the time to clean this up yet :(


I am keeping an eye on smX with my clamAV hat on. When do you expect
a release?

Bug#328750: sendmail fails to install

2005-09-17 Thread Nigel Horne

Package: sendmail
Version: 8.13.4-3
Severity: important


apt-get install sendmail gives this error:


*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
*** MAILER(`local') must appear after FEATURE(`always_add_domain')*** ERROR: 
FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
*** MAILER(`local') must appear after FEATURE(`allmasquerade')*** ERROR: 
FEATURE() should be before MAILER()


This is because the masquerade information was appended to the file
rather than inserted above the mailer lines.

Yup, a by-product of a prompt free install - sendmailconfig then gets
confused and adds the mailer section again.

sendmailconfig needs a re-write, but I'm working on 8.13.5 and smX -
just haven't had the time to clean this up yet :(

No manual is ever necessary.

May I politely interject here: BULLSHIT.  That's the biggest Apple lie of all!
