OK, this is bizarre.
I was trying to get our network monitoring software (WhatsUp Gold) to send
emails on less-critical systems instead of pages. However, it was not able
to send email through our qmail server, and when I watched the debug out
put, the program was getting:
451 Put ,E=\r\n at the end of Mether, Mtcp, or Msmtp in sendmail.cf if you
are using Solaris 2.5 (fixed in 2.5.1). I cannot accept messages with stray
newlines. Many SMTP servers will time out waiting for \r\n.\r\n.
So, I thought I'd take a look in the qmail source and see where that was
coming from - but that *isn't* in the qmail source. For a moment I worried
that perhaps sendmail was running (shudder), but all occurences of SMTP in
/etc/inetd.conf are commented out, and ps -aef | grep sendmail doesn't show
a thing.
Then, I thought that I *must* have screwed up and put in the wrong IP
address, but I double-checked, and it's hitting the right server. So, my
questions are:
1. Where could that be coming from?
2. Anybody had WhatsUp Gold work with qmail?
