From: Chris Hanlon on 31 Jan 2007 02:09 I am running Sendmail 8.13.8-2 on Ubuntu Linux 6.10 and I keep getting the message "SYSERR(root): buildaddr: unknown mailer procmail" whenever I put entries like newsletter.smallcap.ca procmail:/home/openemm/conf/bav/bav.rc in my /etc/mail/mailertable The problem doesn't appear to be directly related to procmail because the error doesn't happen when I enter newsletter.smallcap.ca local: and the local mailer also uses procmail. Does anyone know where my problem is? Chris Hanlon My Config files are attached

Does anyone know where my >problem is? "local mailer uses procmail" is quite different from "mailer procmail" - the former is achieved via FEATURE(`local_procmail'), the latter requires MAILER(`procmail'), in your .mc file. Now, you didn't attach the .mc file, which is the only one that you should / need to provide, but it was included in the sendmail.cf for those patient enough to scroll to the end of it, and it did have MAILER(`procmail'). I.e. it should work - perhaps you haven't restarted the daemon after updating sendmai.cf, or installed sendmail.cf in the wrong place? The latter should be /etc/mail/sendmail.cf since several years, but some OS distributions may still be sticking to the old /etc/sendmail.cf - or maybe your OS isn't, but you are... --Per Hedeland per(a)hedeland.org |
