After installing a version of Cyrus that actually supports Virtual
Domains (doh!) and getting the sendmail.mc
setup properly, it looks like I got it working.
I still would like to be able to get root mail accepted and sent to
the old fashioned /var/spool/mail files, but
still haven't figured that one out yet. I will keep on plugging away
at it. I tried sending it to a Cyrus
account,which I was able to do, but I couldn't get the IMAP client
configured right to login and get the mail.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Hi Chris,
Congratulations!
For sending mail to unix users, you might take a look at Andrzej's page that he mentioned in a post yesterday:
Andrzej [en:Andrew] Adam Filip:
"I promote a few alternative ways of cyrus and sendmail integration,
all of them use local mailer for some users and curys||cyrusv2 for other
[ e.g. http://anfi.webhop.net/sendmail/localtab.html ]"
I had a look at it, and it looks slick. Although the examples seem to presume that your default local mailer is "local" rather than "cyrusv2", it might be able to be used in the reverse sense -- i.e. your default local mailer is cyrusv2, and you put in the localtable something like:
root local:chris
to send root's mail to your "chris" unix account.
Andrzej, is this interpretation correct?
It is perfectly OK.
Another option is to use LOCALized version of Cyrus Aliases http://anfi.webhop.net/sendmail/localNalias.htm
P.S.
In bright future ahead sendmail 8.13 will use socketmap protocol [protocol to query external programs] to ask cyrus about valid mailboxes *during* smtp session [AFAIK socketmap support has been added to development version of CYRUS (CVS)]
