I realize that sendmail has their own mailing list but it's hard to get an answer from them. I'm sure that someone here knows the answer to my question. I've tried this on over 4 different BSD machines, of different versions. Ranging from 3.1 to 4.5. The default configs (ie, deliverymode) for sendmail are stored in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. You are soposed to be able to override these with command line arguments such as "sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=queueonly". Although it doesn't error out, and it appears to have taken it - it still uses the defaults for /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. I can't seem to figure out why. What I'm trying to do is to install MailScanner and it requires two copies of sendmail running: sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in sendmail -q15m Thus having all the mail queue first into /var/spool/mqueue.in and then mailscanner would handle it from there, placing it into /var/mail/mqueue and triggering sendmail -q . . . I haven't even gotten mail scanner setup yet because of this sendmail problem. I do the above commands and mail still is queued in mqueue (not mqueue.in) and delivered immeditely. Yet, I can make these changes in sendmail.cf, and it works proper. Any ideas? Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
