- Hi there, I've just updated our mail server to run Sendmail 5.65c with
- IDA enhancements. Everything else (aliases, DBM files, etc.) seem to
- work except for the 'prog' mailer. It apparently is not compatible
- with the Sun Sendmail one that we were running before (SunOS 4.1.2, no
- MX). Various .forward files that used to work are not bombing.
-
- Some folks are doing "| if ... ; then ... ; else ... ; fi" and you get
- "sh: syntax error at line 1: `end of file' unexpected" and "unknown
- mailer error 2" messages now (didn't used to before).
-
- I found and disabled "OB." so that the blanks in some of the command
- lines aren't being changed to ".", that seems to have fixed some of the
- problems. Anyone seen this before, and can provide pointers on how to
- remedy it? As postmaster, my mailbox is getting full of bounces from
- the few people who use this feature, who are on active mailing lists
- (natch).
-
- Thanks,
- Peter
