Previous message included in full. When I invoke /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver <username> and supply it with some standard headers, I discovered that I CAN in fact send messages successfully, and view with an IMAP or POP client. However, sendmail still refuses to call deliver, despite great amounts of my time spent mucking with sendmail.cf and restarting sendmail. I looked through just about every system log I could find, didn't find any sign of error or confusion when sending mail or starting sendmail. I also tried renaming deliver and replacing it with a short perl script that outputs to a file in /tmp/ when invoked. (Kept permissions and ownerships the same as the old deliver). Sendmail wouldn't run that, either (I thought perhaps Sendmail was sending deliver a bad option, causing it to silently abort). Sooooo... it appears as though Sendmail isn't finding, or isn't even attempting to find the deliver program. Is there something else I have to enable for sendmail to invoke Cyrus, or do I have to compile sendmail with different options? (This is sendmail 8.9.3 we're talking about... stock in 3.3-STABLE). Sendmail's documentation seemed to suggest that all I need to was generate a new sendmail.cf, as I have done.
