Problems with local users

[Schmitt, Andy C - CIDD-2]

Zeitgeist, another thing you could do is show us how you're starting sendmail.  And (shot in the dark) did you make any changes to your syslog setup that we should know about? You're not getting Sendmail log entries, from the sound of it, so the problem seems more fundamental than a MailScanner problem.

When I first installed MailScanner, I separated out mail service log entries to go to "/var/log/maillog" so things wouldn't get lost in the shuffle.  But I didn't restart syslogd, so nothing logged at all. :( Once syslogd was restarted, things worked fine.

Can you provide some log entries to show us what is and is not happening?
