Thanks. I'll RTFS as soon as I finish my last exam (Wednesday - I guess |
| 6 |
*that's* what I'm keeping my fingers crossed for atm... ;-) ) and if I |
| 7 |
don't find the reason I'll look into the sendmail mailing list. |

Yes, I read that in the docs. I made up the domain .local and |
| 13 |
everything's completely fine now - I just wonder _why exactly_ sendmail |
| 14 |
needs to have an imaginatory domain name. |

Thanks, I've read through most of the stuff in the /usr/share/doc/sendmail*/ |
| 23 |
directory and also through the online docs at sendmail.org and a lot of |
| 24 |
stuff on the net I googled for (like installation instructions for |
| 25 |
majordomo). They all essentially say that sendmail.cf should have one of |
| 26 |
the following: either `Tuser' or `Ctuser' or |
| 27 |
`Ft/file/with/trusted/users'. I tried all of them and though |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
# egrep '^T' sendmail.cf |
| 30 |
Troot |
| 31 |
Tdaemon |
| 32 |
Tuucp |
| 33 |
Taleks |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
seems to be OK I still don't seem to have any luck. I usually generate |
| 36 |
sendmail.cf through m4 and senmdmail.mc, but even with editing |
| 37 |
sendmail.cf manually I don't get any results... |

Thanks, |
