I'm in the process of replacing an older mailserver with a shiny new mailserver running 4.5-PRERELEASE and sendmail 8.11.6. All is well, except for some problems with local delivery of mail using mail.local. I'm running a fairly straightforward sendmail.cf, with the only real significant addition being the use of drac for authenticated relaying. With mail.local set in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf as the local delivery agent, all local delivery using mail.local fails. However, those users who are handling their mail via procmail invoked as a pipe from .forward are able to have their mail delivered via procmail. If I replace mail.local with a FEATURE(local_procmail) in my sendmail config, all local delivery (via procmail now) works perfectly. How do I account for this? I've seen different problems in the same vein in searching sendmail archives and so on, but nothing quite like this. The errors I see, both from the logfile and from a bounce message: Jan 6 00:56:48 pop sendmail[827]: g066ulZ00827: from=<benh@blues.jpj.net>, size=458, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<Pine.BSI.4.05L.10201060156370.17508-100000@blues.jpj.net>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=root@blues.jpj.net [204.97.17.6] Jan 6 00:56:48 pop sendmail[828]: g066ulZ00827: to=<test@horked.net>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30049, dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable Jan 6 00:56:48 pop sendmail[828]: g066ulZ00827: g066umZ00828: DSN: Service unavailable Jan 6 00:56:54 pop sendmail[828]: g066umZ00828: to=<benh@blues.jpj.net>, delay=00:00:06, xdelay=00:00:06, mailer=esmtp, pri=30149, relay=blues.jpj.net.
