I'm setting up a FreeBSD 4.5 machine to replace a Windows email server and I've run into a problem. I'm running the default sendmail with Cyrus-SASL from /usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl. I followed the instructions in the files/Sendmail.readme file to enable PLAIN and LOGIN support and I am able to use SMTP AUTH to send mail so this looks like it is ok. The problem is that whenever I attempt to send mail to a local user I get a message "local mailer (/usr/libexec/mail.local) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL" an ls /var/mail shows that is no file for the username (in this case angela) in /var/mail. I added the user via the adduser script. Any help in resolving this issue is sincereley appreciated.
