I'm building a new MailScanner system on Centos 5.5-64bit and this time I'm wanting to use Sendmail instead of Postfix. My experience base has been with Postfix, so I've been doing abit of reading for the archives.
I read the "Configure Sendmail" notes on http://mailscanner.info/other.html and looked at the sendmail startup script. I could insert the recommended sendmail start lines into the script, but I'm not so sure about how it will effect the "sm-msp-queue" code just below it.
Since I'm a newbie at Sendmail, I wanted to ask for input for those of you who have more sendmail experience.
Here are the recommend start lines from the mailscanner.info website and the "start" code section from the sendmail start script.
How are you sendmail folks configuring your systems?
- thank you
Brad
sendmail -bd -q15m
You should change this to the following two lines:
sendmail -bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in
sendmail -q15m
start() {
# Start daemons.
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
if test -x /usr/bin/make -a -f /etc/mail/Makefile ; then
make all -C /etc/mail -s > /dev/null
else
for i in virtusertable access domaintable mailertable ; do
if [ -f /etc/mail/$i ] ; then
makemap hash /etc/mail/$i < /etc/mail/$i
fi
done
fi
/usr/bin/newaliases > /dev/null 2>&1
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail $([ "x$DAEMON" = xyes ] && echo -bd) \
$([ -n "$QUEUE" ] && echo -q$QUEUE) $SENDMAIL_OPTARG
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/sendmail
if ! test -f /var/run/sm-client.pid ; then
echo -n $"Starting sm-client: "
touch /var/run/sm-client.pid
chown smmsp:smmsp /var/run/sm-client.pid
if [ -x /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled ] && /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled; then
/sbin/restorecon /var/run/sm-client.pid
fi
daemon --check sm-client /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac \
-q$SMQUEUE $SENDMAIL_OPTARG
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/sm-client
fi
return $RETVAL
}
