It is my domain but... I have a server at an isp with mydomain.com for the
website
then the dns points to my machines ip address for the email?
When redhat boots it says welcome to mydomain.com but apparently fqdn is
defined elsewhere?
I added the FEATURE(`local proc...) and recompiled the sendmail.cf
the pmlog now shows it functioning but now I need some help on pmlog errors
procmail: lock failure on "IN-testing.lock"
error while writing to "IN-testing"
FQDN:
Both of these are things to address. Most likely, mydomain.com is NOT
registred to you, and thus you should not use it. I'd be curious as to
why
the FQDN was reported as blank on your host and why the hostname showed
anything more than just the host portion of the domain.
# Determining Mlocal via sendmail diagnostic invocation
NOTE: procmail doesn't appear to be the LDA
To change this, you need to alter the sendmail.mc file and rebuild the
sendmail.cf from that, then restard sendmail. Obviously, this must be
done
by an admin on the host, who should observe caution and follow standard
protocols to ensure that they don't irrecoverably trample the existing
config. Look the following up in the sendmail documentation:
FEATURE( `local_procmail' )dnl
# contents of /home/eric/.forward (if it exists)
NOTE: no /home/eric/.forward
This isn't a problem when procmail is the LDA. Otherwise, you need a
.forward (per USER) to invoke procmail. My disclaimer page includes
information on some effective .forward syntaxes if you end up having to go
this route.
NOTE: There is no /etc/procmailrc file.
NOTE: There is no /etc/procmailrcs file.
Not error conditions, just information that the file and dir don't exist
(most useful when someone claims they're having problems with their
"global" procmail rules not working <g>).
NOTE: There is no /home/eric/Mail file.
0755 2 root root 4096 Wed Jul 9 09:42:13 2003 /home/eric/mail/
These are common dirs for mail storage by MUAs (and therefore, common dirs
for people to stuff messages into).
NOTE: There is no /home/eric/.procmail file.
Common dir for people to stuff ancillary procmail recipes into. It
doesn't
need to exist unless you're actually specifying it in your rcfile.
