Answer: Sendmail configuration on Debian using Mailscanner

[Kurt Yoder]

OK, I posted a question a long time ago asking how to get
Mailscanner working using Debian's Sendmail package. I finally had
some time to mess with this a week or two ago, and got it to work.
It is very simple. Here is how to do it:

edit /etc/mail/sendmail.conf

change the line DAEMON_PARMS to
DAEMON_PARMS="-bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in";

cd /etc/mail

type "make"

very important: restart sendmail (/etc/init.d/sendmail restart)


If you want to verify that this is actually working, shut down
Mailscanner, and send an email to the server. You should see it get
deposited in /var/spool/mqueue.in. It should *not* move from that
folder until you start Mailscanner back up.
