Answer: Sendmail configuration on Debian using Mailscanner

[Harry Hanson]

Ok, that makes sense... However my sendmail.conf matches yours, yet for some
reason it won't split the queue....

When you 'sendmailconfig', does it write to /etc/cron.d/sendmail? Maybe
something ther as the sendmail.conf file states:

#                               SMTP Listener Configuration
#
# DAEMON_MODE="Daemon";  Keyword        SMTP listener
#       daemon:  Run as standalone daemon
#       inetd:   Run from inet supervisor (forks for each mail)
#       none:    No listener (ie, nullclient/smarthost)
#
# NOTE: for the nonce, DAEMON_MODE="none" is *NOT* supported !!!
#
DAEMON_MODE="Daemon";
#
# DAEMON_PARMS="";  String  Listener parms
#       Any parameters here will be ignored when run from cron.
#       Note that MISC_PARMS and CRON_PARMS, if applicable, will override
#       anything declared herein.
#
DAEMON_PARMS="-OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in";
#
Although this seems to be all cron is doing:


Sep 30 13:53:01 cet /usr/sbin/cron[959]: (*system*sendmail) RELOAD
(/etc/cron.d/sendmail)
Sep 30 13:53:03 cet sendmail[10848]: alias database /etc/mail/aliases
rebuilt by harryh
Sep 30 13:53:03 cet sendmail[10848]: /etc/mail/aliases: 23 aliases, longest
21 bytes, 327 bytes total
Sep 30 13:53:15 cet sm-mta[15086]: restarting /usr/sbin/sendmail due to
signal
Sep 30 13:54:01 cet /usr/sbin/cron[959]: (*system*sendmail) RELOAD
(/etc/cron.d/sendmail)


Frustrating.. I just don't see why this isn't working :(

There are no differences, i dont change anything on my
/usr/share/sendmail/sendmail. /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail grab the
information to start up two sendmail processes from /etc/mail/sendmail.conf
