My first suggestion is to run postfix instead. :-)
Thanks for the response.
Can I avoid using sendmail for outgoing mail on KMail in that way?
Is kmail actually using the sendmail server on localhost? Or is it just
using the sendmail command to send the email message out? In that case,
you could just disable the sendmail service as it's not even being used.
But yes, postfix would work just as well either way.
Assuming that is not acceptable, what does "systemctl status sendmail"
show?
I just tried this again, and I get much the same error message:
-------------------------------
[tim@william ~]$ sudo systemctl status sendmail
sendmail.service - Sendmail Mail Transport Agent
...
Did you remove some lines here? They were the ones I was looking for.
Open a couple of terminal windows, run "tail
-f/var/log/audit/audit.log" in one and "journalctl -f --all" in the
other. Then try "systemctl restart sendmail" and see what output you
get from that and what shows up in those other terminal windows.
I tried this; there was a large amount of output,
but the only thing that struck me was the same journalctl message again:
sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?)
after start: No such file or directory
and the following, repeated several times
May 25 23:14:52 william.gayleard.com ksmserver[1395]:
QXcbWindow: Unhandled client message: "_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP"
I was more interested in if there was anything significant in the audit.log.
