OT: Opinions wanted please

[Jeff Earickson]

Steve,

I am running all of this on Redhat 6.3, same as Centos.  I build and
install sendmail from source code, so I have the /usr/sbin/smrsh on my
system.  My /usr/adm/sm.bin directory looks like so:

(106)> ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 26 Apr 12  2011 redirectstaff.pl ->
/etc/mail/redirectstaff.pl*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Apr 12  2011 redirectstu.pl ->
/etc/mail/redirectstu.pl*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Apr 12  2011 vacation -> /usr/bin/vacation*

Where the perl scripts I attached reside in /etc/mail, chown
root:mail, chmod 755.  The Mprog line in my sendmail.cf looks like:

Mprog,		P=/usr/sbin/smrsh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL,
R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D=$z:/,

I would suggest using the debug feature in the script(s), and then
looking at the files it dumps in /tmp.

This is all a sendmail config issue, nothing really to do with MailScanner.
