Remember how you "turn off sendmail" when you "turn on MailScanner" so
that mailscanner "calls" sendmail?

Well, you'd turn on sendmail by itself, apart from MailScanner - but
with a twist. You can go with one of two options:

1. Add "-ODaemonPortOptions=Port=25025,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA-2" to the
sendmail program called by /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail or,
2. Create a new sendmail.mc called sendmail.local.mc, for example, add
"DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25025,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA-2')dnl" to it.
Compile it using m4 < /etc/mail/sendmail.local.mc >
/etc/mail/sendmail.local.cf, and add -C /etc/mail/sendmail.local.cf to
whatever parameters sendmail starts with in /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail.

This also fixes the "my messages come out garbled when sent from apache"
problem nobody seems to have figured out yet.

To unsubscribe, email jiscmail at jiscmail.ac.uk with the words:
