sendmail error

[Allan Bruce]

when i try "update-alternatives mta" I get the following error
    update-alternatives: unknown argument `mta
apart from that, everything seems to be almost working.

I ran MailScanner in debug mode and it was checking for spam/viruses fine.
I can see some files in my /var/spool/mqeue/ directory.  Now when I try to
connect from my windows machine, it reckons there are no emails.  Is there
something else I need to do to get my pop server running correctly?

Thanks
Allan

rpm -e postfix
rpm -i sendmail   [if you've not done so already]
update-alternatives mta

Sort out the sendmail config to your liking [if you've not done so already]

Test sendmail
Stop sendmail
Start MailScanner

Look out for Mandrakes default sendmail config, its a little too permisive
for my liking (I especially dislike relay based on MX which they tend to
enable).

hmmm, the /usr/sbin/sendmail eventually points to /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
I take it this is what you mean.  How can I install sendmail properly?
Thanks

Forgive me if this appears a stupid question, but it has happened in the
past.
Are you sure your sendmail really is sendmail and not postfix?  Mandrake use
the debian alternatives system so even if you have sendmail and postfix
installed /usr/sbin/sendmail may still be a symlink to a symlink to a
symlink to postfix!)

I have sendmail running with 2 instances for MailScanner.  Everything seems
to run as normal up until MailScanner tries to delvier the message.  I get
the following error:
    sendmail: fatal: -qI is not implemented

I am using mandrake 9.1 and using the sendmail that was rpm'd with it.
Does anybody know how I can fix this?
Thanks
Allan
