Hi all- I had a recurring problem getting the latest sendmail to work today on a new potato laptop. IT continually bombed trying to find a required file; namely the aliases file that lives on my desktop in /etc. I tried numerous reinstalls of the latest sendmail in the instable tree but it would not succeed until I copied another alias file and then reinstalled. IT still wanted three other optional databases which I have no idea what they are. Another thing, now when I write a fetchmailrc file, it wants a mda statement in the file. I dont recall this behavior before. I know that debian uses procmail as the local delivery agent. Without a mda line, mail is received but just disappears to some unknown location...
The aliases file appears to be built by any number of mail agents like exim but none of these would build one when I attempted to install them. Pretty wierd. I built the potato laptop from hand after installing a base system from floppy diskettes and a nfs mount. -- Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------
