Ok, please excuse the funky formatting......., the version of Evolution I'm using is kinda crackers......
I've put together some information about using DBmail and sendmail 8.12 (and newer). I put together my sendmail.cf for 1.2.7b, so this may be out of date--but I'll post it anyhow. I haven't figured out yet how to make a working sendmail.mc file (so you can compile it), so you'll need to make the changes I describe DIRECTLY to sendmail.cf. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find this: # short circuit local delivery so forwarded email works R$=L < @ $=w . > $#local $: @ $1 special local names R$+ < @ $=w . > $#local $: $1 regular local name And change it to: # short circuit local delivery so forwarded email works #R$=L < @ $=w . > $#local $: @ $1 special local names R$=L < @ $=w . > $#dbmail $: $1 DBMail local accounts R$+ < @ $=w . > $#local $: $1 regular local name --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find this: # handle locally delivered names R$=L $#local $: @ $1 special local names R$+ $#local $: $1 regular local names And change it to: # handle locally delivered names #R$=L $#local $: @ $1 special local names R$=L $#dbmail $: $1 DBMail local accounts R$+ $#local $: $1 regular local names --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And add this to the end: # # for dbmail # Mdbmail, P=/usr/bin/dbmail-smtp,F=lsDFMAw5,S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,m=1, A=dbmail-smtp -d $u --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first two tell sendmail to send mail in the local delivery class to DBMail. Remember, this will also handle any mail sent to root on that machine! If you want mail sent to root to go to the original local mailer you'll need to create a new class for that (which is beyond the scope of this tutorial). The last block declares the DBMail mailer to sendmail, so that it knows how to deliver mail to it. This is the part that may need to be amended. I doubt it though. Now if I can just get this damn e-mail client [Evolution] to work properly with plaintext e-mails again. No, I'm not switching to client "X", I make up my own mind in time, and I need a working PIM. > 1. installing on suse 9 (opel.kadett) > 10.

DBMail works with both sendmail and postfix. To make things even more confusing, there is a sendmail program that is installed with sendmail (the MTA). This is utilized by PHP to send mail out using the 'mail()' command. As sendmail (the MTA) has been around for years, Postfix comes with a compatibility program called sendmail that does the same thing. PHP works great with this. to wrap it up: Sendmail (the MTA) and Postfix (the MTA) both have programs called 'sendmail' that work with PHP. DBMail does not 'send' mail per-se (other than an occasional bounce message). This is not it's job, so it does not have such a thing. (it actually uses the same 'sendmail' that php does) Without some in-depth knowledge of the MTA's, you will not be able to install both sendmail (the MTA) and postfix (the MTA) on the same system as they both do the same thing, and will collide. Nor can I think of a good reason to install both at the moment. (there may be one..) Pick one MTA and use it. (I prefer Postfix, but this is a religious choice, a lot of people love Sendmail) I hope that helps. -Micah On Saturday 27 November 2004 01:36 pm, opel.kadett wrote: > Hi, hello > > ive been trying to install dbmail on suse today. > ive gotten it installed, seems among port 110 works ok, as can connect > and search for new mails(always empty of corse as cant send), but that is > it. > > i only want webmail use, with multidomains. so dont need any pop. > would like to use it with wedbmail or sqirrel mail or something similar. > > questions are: > sendmail works in php, sendmail is installed as it comes with suse, > dbmail needs something more? as only port 110 open(if start the pop > server). seen writeing on exim and Postfix, also found it in suse stro, > but yast says it colides with sendmail so havent installed it yet as > unsure what it will do to everything else that works now. > > In the INSTALL file in dbmail stro, it refers to "5.
