[Mimedefang] MD 2.30 and SA 2.50 problems.

[Paul]

Hi Alan,

I think I figured it. Seems to be a FreeBSD thing. mail.local is no longer run as SUID root. I needed to add "FEATURE(`local_lmtp')dnl" above the MAILER() lines in my sendmail.mc so Sendmail will run it as root. The weird thing is that this does not present a problem is sendmail is handling incoming mail. Just when MD (via Milter) does it. But since sendmail is running as root and MD isn't...

Maybe one for the MIMEdefang FAQ?

OS: FreeBSD 

Symptom:  

Error in /var/log/maillog
mail.local: lockmailbox /var/mail/user failed; error code 75

Solution:

Incorporate the line  FEATURE(`local_lmtp')dnl above the MAILER line in your sendmail.mc. Compile that into sendmail.cf, copy it to /etc/mail and stop and start sendmail.

;-)
