I've been using procmail a bit for mail filtering and it's
pretty cool. I'm setting up a new box and have been
playing around trying to use procmail as a drop in
replacement for the Solaris 8 default mda. I'm not running
any MTA (ie. no sendmail, exim, etc). I just want to be
able to use procmail for local delivery's.
Solaris uses sendmail by default. Did you actually remove or otherwise
disable sendmail? If not, I suggest that you really are using sendmail
and just didn't know it.
My question? What is the Solaris mda. Is it
/usr/lib/mail.local? Or is it something else. I've done a
truss on a mailx mail session but can't see what program
gets called.
e220r# strings /usr/bin/mailx | grep sendmail
sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail
sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail
e220r#
Looks to me like mailx calls sendmail. I would guess that it didn't
show up in your truss because you forgot to use the -f option to tell
truss to follow the fork()ed child.
I've tried dropping in procmail, compiled with the
suggestions in examples/advanced, to replace mail.local but
I get no mail delivery at all. Could it be a permission
problem on the file?
What does the maillog show? What did the original Mlocal entry in the
sendmail.cf look like and what did you try changing it to?
