I have *hacked* a fix to the problem described in the note included below. It turns out that SuSEconfig generates *two* sendmail.cf files. Actually one is named submit.cf. These are them: /etc/mail/submit.cf /etc/sendmail.cf Only the *second* one lists wwwrun as a trusted user. Here is the relevant section of /etc/sendmail.cf: ##################### # Trusted users # ##################### # this is equivalent to setting class "t" #Ft-o /etc/mail/trusted-users %[^\#] Troot Tdaemon Tuucp Tmdom wwwrun root uucp daemon mail The file /etc/mail/submit.cf does not contain the last line above. If I copy that line into /etc/mail/submit.cf, I no longer get the Authentication-Warnings. I still don't know why it makes no difference what I put into /etc/mail/trusted-users. And, of course, when I do this SuSEconfig now complains that I have modified the file. On Wed, May 08, 2002 at 08:52:06PM -0500, Robert Paulsen wrote:
I am getting Authentication-Warnings from sendmail that look like this:
Authentication-Warning: avalon.paulsen.org: wwwrun set sender to robert@paulsenonline.net using -f
(A little background -- the email is being sent by the "mail" command in a PHP script. It needs to set the sender's address based on the user who logged into the web page and initiated the sending of the mail. This is why it is wwwrun who is seting the sender.)
I thought /etc/mail/trusted_users was supposed to let me specify that it was OK for "wwwrun" to do this, but it isn't working. Perhaps I don't have the syntax right. All I did was put one line in trusted_users:
wwwrun
But, I still get the Authentication-Warnings.
I don't think this was happening before I upgraded 7.3 to 8.0 so perhaps I lost some other configuration setting somewhere.
Any advice?
I do know how to turn off Authentication-Warnings completely in sendmail.cf, but I don't want to do that.
