AFAIS from my daily work at home it works flawless with both sendmail and postfix. This because both MTAs have to provide the FHS[1] binary /usr/sbin/sendmail. Beside this on my configuration sendmail will be started at boot time to be able to deliver even local mails[2]. Otherwise the dialin on demand connection (ipp/dsl) will be not activated at boot time. Those connections happen if and only if a external IP address is used. Beside this fetchmail has to be started before clearing the sendmail queue to avoid mail loops. Note that in my scenario the sendmail daemons (MSP/MTA) are already running and therefore the option -q simply cause those daemons to clear their queues. For real sendmail there a two queues one for the client and one for the MTA its self. [1]: see FHS ``4.7.2 Specific Options'' and the footnotes used therein. [2]: not running an MTA even for local mails only is IMHO an user error. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
