Ah, thanks for the explain. I hope that such default MDA configuration can be stored in debconf DB so that I can pre-seed it before (debootstrap) installation. dpkg-reconfigure -p low sensible-mda produces nothing configurable. > Which ever you choose, make sure there is a a link for it in > /etc/mail/smrsh (you update them with /usr/share/sendmail/update_smrsh) YES, running /usr/share/sendmail/update_smrsh without any parameters solved my problem. Just that, Previously there is only one link there. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root smmsp 26 10-10 15:41 mail.local -> /usr/lib/sm.bin/ mail.local* Having run /usr/share/sendmail/update_smrsh, there are 2 links there. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root smmsp 17 10-17 22:14 procmail -> /usr/bin/procmail* is added. Is it normal? Should /etc/mail/smrsh contains only one link? Further, where can I get help on /usr/share/sendmail/update_smrsh? /usr/share/sendmail/update_smrsh -h is no use. $ man update_smrsh No manual entry for update_smrsh thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
