- AMS indeed calls sendmail directly. Are you sidetracked by the thing
- installed from ams/delivery/sendmail? That's just a cover program
- intended to catch references to UCB-style sendmail when AMDS has been
- installed. Non-AMDS AMS pipes mail to the OldSendmailProgram string
- variable contents, which is initialized to /usr/lib/sendmail in the
- non-AMDS case and is expected to behave like UCB-style sendmail.
-
- You can change the string variable OldSendmailProgram via AndrewSetup
- and have it point to a UPAS wrapper. To the extent that you've already
- done this via /usr/lib/sendmail, perhaps AMS uses a sendmail option that
- your wrapper doesn't expect. You can find those options given by
- overhead/mail/lib/dropoff.c .
-
- Hope that this speaks to your concerns.
