Quoting Parker Jones <zoubidoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
Problem: Sending mail failed after the update. I send locally using nmh. Restarting sendmail didn't help. Receiving appeared to be unaffected. Quick fix: After waiting several days hoping the problem would just go away, I had to do something about it. I appear to have made the problem go away by replacing sendmail.cf with its old version (prior to the sendmail update) and restarting sendmail. Looking for an explanation: I tried to reproduce the problem by restoring the sendmail.cf supplied with the update and restarting sendmail. Surprisingly I could still send - I expected it to break. This would suggest that there is something else going on that I'm not taking into consideration (rebuilding of sendmail.mc perhaps?) So I still have no satisfactory explanation of the cause of the problem.
Could it perhaps be the /etc/mail/submit.cf file that was the problem? I'm not sure how nmh submits the mail (via local sendmail invocation, or via port 25, or via port 587, etc. Each could have its own problems (missing symlink, bad .cf files, etc).
If sendmail.mc is compiled will the problem reappear?
Try it and find out (but I doubt it). -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
