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I put together my sendmail.cf for 1.2.7b, so this may be out of date--but I'll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.

Sounds like you're confusing the MTA (sendmail/postfix) with the
storage/pop3/imap tool, in this case, DBMail. 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.
