So where's MAILER(dbmail-lmtp) at?
Good question. http://www.dbmail.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=sendmail_howto
didn't mention that anywhere.
I've added a MAILER(dbmail-lmtp) ... above the MAILER(local) line, used
the dbmail.m4 from http://www.oryx.com/download/mailstore.m4 ( with
suggested changes ), rebuilt my sendmail.cf and restarted.
Exactly the same thing happens - local delivery. I've even tried
removing the MAILER(local)dnl line completely and rebuilding
sendmail.cf. It *still* uses local delivery. Beats me. I'm a DB guy -
hence my interest in DBMail. I'm by no means a sendmail expert, and the
more I have to do with it, the less I like it. Unfortunately, we need to
use sendmail because we've got CanIt integrated with it.
Try replacing it with a lmtp enabled version:
You could try using: http://www.oryx.com/download/mailstore.m4 as a good
starting point. It's very similar to what dbmail-lmtpd would require.
Just run a sed script over it like 's/MAILSTORE/DBMAIL/g', set the
LMTP_PORT to 24 and change Mmailstore into Mdbmail-lmtp.
Done that.
But then, I haven't used sendmail for a long time.
A couple of people have said that. I take it we're not likely to get
much support using sendmail?
I'm going on holiday for a couple of weeks. Hopefully courier-imap
doesn't blow up while I'm away. It's dawned on me that I can migrate our
courier-imap shared folders to a traditional email account, and then
just set up the additional account in people's mail client. That will
get us around the biggest hurdle - that shared folders are broken on
later versions. As for the performance problems, turning off FAM support
should keep us alive for a while. Anyway, it can wait until after my
holiday. Damned email ... particularly damned sendmail ...
