Hi, I'm having problem with sendmail not delivering my mails to Cyrus.
It seems to be a permission related problem as I get it to work (deliver to cyrus) when I start sendmail as root from the prompt with sendmail -bD (or -bd). When run from inetd, i get an looping problem: Feb 18 20:18:43 prod3-int sendmail[15731]: g1IJIhZi015731: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=5094, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<001401c1b8b4$fedaf0f0$b700a8c0@gmg>, proto=ESMTP, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Feb 18 20:18:43 prod3-int sendmail[15735]: g1IJIhoQ015735: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=5303, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<001401c1b8b4$fedaf0f0$b700a8c0@gmg>, proto=ESMTP, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Feb 18 20:18:44 prod3-int sendmail[15738]: g1IJIipP015738: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=5512, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<001401c1b8b4$fedaf0f0$b700a8c0@gmg>, proto=ESMTP, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Feb 18 20:18:44 prod3-int sendmail[15743]: g1IJIie2015743: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=5721, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<001401c1b8b4$fedaf0f0$b700a8c0@gmg>, proto=ESMTP, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] And so on for another 20 lines, and then I get an error Feb 18 20:18:44 prod3-int sendmail[15743]: g1IJIie2015743: SYSERR(root): Too many hops 26 (25 max): from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> via localhost, to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> And then, another 25(26) lines: Feb 18 20:18:44 prod3-int sendmail[15735]: g1IJIhoQ015735: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=35297, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g1IJIipP015738 Message accepted for delivery) Feb 18 20:18:44 prod3-int sendmail[15738]: g1IJIipP015738: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=35506, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g1IJIie2015743 Message accepted for delivery) Feb 18 20:18:44 prod3-int sendmail[15731]: g1IJIhZi015731: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=35088, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g1IJIhoQ015735 Message accepted for delivery) Feb 18 20:18:44 prod3-int sendmail[15726]: g1IJIhbY015726: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=34879, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g1IJIhZi015731 Message accepted for delivery) Feb 18 20:18:44 prod3-int sendmail[15722]: g1IJIh4j015722: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=34670, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g1IJIhbY015726 Message accepted for delivery) ...
