Hi Paul,
I had been using Postfix when I was running Mdk 7.1, but then switched to
Sendmail when I started running the Dyndns ddclient mostly because
Sendmail is a much more robust MTA than Postfix. Plus I had been fooling
around with Majordomo at the time. For some very strange reason though
when I installed Mdk 7.2 Sendmail all but refused to work. It took some
real convincing and about 5 hours of chasing down and satisfying
dependency troubles to get Sendmail working again.
Now, there appears to be a permissions problem somewhere and Sendmail is
having the problem. Root user has no trouble using Sendmail as MTA, and
the recipient thing that is mentioned in the error message I get the
feeling is just a symptom of the real problem.
After using both Postfix and Sendmail I rather prefer Sendmail, but for
the life of me I can't figure out what the heck is going on here.
