-
- What I recommend for sendmail users is to use the following as the OPTIONS
- in the makefile:
-
- OPTIONS= -DGETHOSTNAME -DNOALIAS
- You may want to add either -DSORTED or -DDBM.
-
-
- Then edit the mailer definition for uucp in /usr/lib/sendmail.cf
- and change the P=/usr/bin/uux to be P=[where uumail is] (e.g.
- /usr/lib/uucp/uumail).
- Change the A= to A=uumail -h -f$g $h!$u
-
- This will replace the uux execution with uumail. If you do this exactly,
- you will only need the pathalias generated database to be present for
- uumail to work correctly. If you add -DOPATH to the OPTIONS line, you
- will need the domains file (/usr/lib/uucp/domains) correctly configured
- for your site. See opath.3 for more information.
-
- There are more things you can do to make sendmail be smarter about
- using uumail, but in general, this is not necessary since uumail
- will return informative messges to sendmail ( and the user) if
- there is a failure.
-
- If you would like to share your problems or ideas on interfacing
- sendmail and uumail, I would appreciate hearing them.
-
- Thanks.
