<0> This will tell you what cf file it is reading: sendmail -d0.11 -bt </dev/null
<0> Conf file: /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (selected)
<1> can fetchmail fetch from a pop account and then forward to another email using a *remote* smtp server?
<2> what does fetchmail's documentation say?
<2> certainly sendmail's documentation provides no clues.
<1> which volume? :) ...i couldn't find anything
<1> i looked, i just couldn't find it...
<2> of course if fetchmail submits mail to your local sendmail addressed to a remote mailbox it would, naturally, be delivered to the remote's mx (or smarthost or ...).
<1> i don't want to run a local sendmail, is why i'm asking
<3> --mda some-random-mda-command-that-chats-up-remote-server-with-all-the-SMTP-requirements-for-mail-handling
<3> why don't you want a local sendmail? setting up a serverless client with Sendmail is easy
<1> because i'm on dialup and it will take 1 hour to download, and irc is less bandwidth :)
<3> huh?
<2> so you want to tunnel your smtp via irc? how odd.
<2> not that it is a sendmail issue, either way.
<1> no, no
<1> i don't want to tunnel anything, i don't want to install sendmail, and i thought i'd ask in irc if i really *need* it
<1> can fetchmail connect directly to a *remote* smtp server?
<1> and i'm asking in here because there is no #fetchmail, and you guys probably know the most about mail
<1> as opposed to me, who knows nothing
<3> no. use --mda command, and ensure 'command' behaves like a proper RFC mail transport program (e.g. a lot of work, easier to setup sendmail client: http://sial.org/howto/sendmail/client/ )
<1> ok, will do, thanks for the help!
<1> twkm, i installed sendmail and followed the directions on that site, but it still doesn't do what i want....i want to download email from a pop3 server, and send it to a totally different email...not on localhost. can you help me set it up?
<2> make an alias for the local user that provides the full address to which to deliver.
<1> so i can do "localuser: ruser@rhost.com" in /etc/aliases?
<2> yup.
<1> err, i got a "stat=Sent (Message queued)", but the message hasn't arrived...what now? :)
<2> sent to which relay?
<2> queued means it hasn't been delivered yet. wait longer.
<1> er...how long? why would it wait?
<1> i'm convinced something is broken :)
<1> i know i did something wrong
<1> there is nothing in /var/spool/mqueue and mqueue-client...is that good or bad?
<4> both
<4> good -- nothing's stuck
<4> bad -- if it's not there, where is it?
<1> see, didn't i tell you?
<1> er...where do i start troubleshooting?
<2> jcurry: answer my first question, which relay?
<2> jcurry: i.e., that log entry had a relay=something -- what was the something?
<1> oh, sorry, didn't see that...relay=dpmail31pro.doteasy.com
<1> but i am only fetching from there, i want it delivered somewhere elser
<1> hmm, why would it do that?
<2> okay, so doteasy accepted the message. only they know how often they deliver to the mailbox or next hop.
<2> there is a chance your message was marked as spam.
<1> but...i am pop fetching *from* doteasy, i want it delivered to another address, @fastmail.fm
<2> jcurry: did you run newaliases after you edited the aliases file?
<1> oh...no :)
<1> you guys didn't tell me!
<2> you didn't read sendmail's documentation when you installed it? you didn't notice the log entry that whined about aliases being newer than aliases.db (or .dir)?
<1> nope :(
<1> but it works now
<1> so thankyouverymuch
<2> cool.
<5> is it possible to map email addrs like firstname.lastname@domain.com to user accts?
<2> of course.
<2> usually a mistake though.
<2> the john smith's of the world will come to hate it.
<2> anyway, you can handle it in virtusertable or aliases.
<2> there is also confMATCH_GECOS, but that might be even more foolish.
<5> heh, thanks
<5> it's not me, it's silly management
<2> shoot them.
<5> who would sign my checks?
<2> at that point. you.
<2> perhaps the state.
<5> lol
<6> Howdy, can someone help. I need to install a version of sendmail >=8.12 in Suse 10, is there an RPM of a recent version or tarballs only?
<2> http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/qna/11885.html
<6> thanks twkm I was actually able to find an RPM in a smart repo. It's a prerequisite for scalix, so I was unclear on the whole postfix v. sendmail packages.
<7> hi all. i frequently see "RSET" cmds in my SMTP logs ... *always* fof/in connections that turn out to be virus/spam.
<7> should i worry? is there something in particular i should 'harden' in my config?
<3> not that I know of
<7> hmm ... i've been correlating my spam logs with these RSETs, and over the last 6 weeks 100% of ~ 700 instances of these RSETs have come from spam/virus, and/or portscan (i presume) connects.
<7> tho, in reading, RSET seems _not_ to be 'illegal' in the SMTP transaction.
<3> eyup. you could use a milter to detect RSET+other factors=badhost
<7> that sounds ez nuf. thx.
<7> still, just curious as to what "they" are attempting to do !? i ***ume it's a particular vulnerability they're trying to exploit ... but can't find any info (yet)
<7> ah well ...
<8> is there any documentation to configure sendmail for many virtual ipaddresses.
<8> hello
<9> Hello. I need to install sendmail 8.15.3 on some Solaris 2.6 servers.
<9> Management won't let me put compilers on them
<9> How do I make an install binary/package?
<10> anyone here using procmail with maildir ?
<10> even though I'm using Maildir and telling procmail to deliver the msgs to a maildir location , which it does, the maillog still gives me a message like: delivery success 10: procmail: couldn't create /var/spool/mail/guest/did_0+0+1
<11> in my manual, it says "-ox value" is documented in the "Sendmail Installation and Operation Guide" but all i say was a reference to Appendix A, which i looked into as well.
<11> i'm trying to dynamically generate a list in aliases with like list: "|/path/to/script"
<11> http://www.mailarchive.ca/lists/comp.mail.sendmail/2002-05/1368.html
<11> but can't get it to work as listed there.
<11> Feb 28 11:43:16 raptor sm-mta[20565]: k1SGhGZG023292: k1SGhGZG020565: DSN: unknown mailer error 127
<12> the sendmail is completely ignoring my setup :)
<13> does anyone know of training material (courses & labs) for sendmail
<14> the "Bat Book"
<13> uhh, lemme see
<13> this seems like the 'definitive guide', actually I am after medium level training, with hands-on labs & such, rather than a book covering everything to huge depths
<13> duh, I can't locate any practical training guides & labs for sendmail!
<3> Sendmail Cookbook?
<13> thnx, let me take a look as well
<15> I'm looking for a google suggestion - How do I phrase the question "we have 500 virtual domains and I want postmaster@(all of them) to come to me. How do I specify wildcards for domains?
<15> what keywords would I look for?
<15> ok, let me ask the question a different way. If I have 500 virtual domains, and I want all postmaster@ whatever to come to me and all -other- email (blahblah@domain) to go to the owner of the domain, the latter part is a setting in virtusers. Do I do something in virtusers for the first part or is that something like masquerade_domain ?
<0> have you tried postmaster@ <your id>@localhost ?
<15> postmaster@mydomain.com@localhost ?
<0> no, 1st token='postmaster@', 2nd token='rustifer@localhost'
<0> separate tokens with whitespace, space or tab
<0> line should look like:
<15> you mean just @domain fred@otherdomain but the other way 'round
<0> postmaster@ rustifer@localhost
<15> can I do that? I can't find an example in the docs :(
<0> yeah, give it ago... istr it working, but my mind is like a steel trap; rusty and dangerous
<15> ok :) thanks.
<15> no, didn't work.
<15> does the virtusertable have an upward bound wrt size?
<15> wait a min, didn't restart sendmail
<15> no, no dice
<0> you remake the map ?
<15> yup!
<15> makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable
<15> ok gotta run. bbian :)
