Hi, To find commands or files, use the following shell tools:
which sendmail This will tell you if the command is in your bash PATH (check /etc/profile and $HOME/.bash_profile $HOME/.bashrc or just type "set" locate sendmail Locate is an add on tool you can install from your package management application or via up2date, yum or apt-get. (Locate updates a database index of all files via an adjacent command "updatedb" (usually configured at install in /etc/cron.d). Locate will whine if updated has not been run for more than a week). find / -name sendmail This will run a find - preface it with sudo or from a root shell to get all files in the /root $PATH since you will be limited from seeing all files as a user. sendmail is almost always in /usr/sbin/sendmail or /lib/sendmail You are probably not going to be able to read the output of sendmail -d. You can, with root/sudo access, spoof the "from address" if your SMTP application (postfix, exim or sendmail) is setup correctly. SMTP MTA and mail delivery Mail applications setup and troubleshooting is a long subject. The PLUG should have some mail workshops, spam content presentations & go through all the materials and troubleshooting specific to linux one of these days. $ sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] When you invoke any sendmail command from a shell prompt, you generally get a open I/O wait. Here your command will appear to hang, but it is actually waiting for standard input. Type the body of the message followed by two "."s. $ tail /var/log/maillog $ ls /var/log Your mail logs might be setup differently - look in the systems log directory for specifics. You can also request a receipt for various mail types? $ sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us <waits for standard input> Enter "testing 01 01 01" then hit "." twice on two new lines. $ tail /var/log/maillog josef lowder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks Lisa ...

If you have a unix/linux box with command line (sudo to send in secure mail installations) [and a properly configured /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and DNS MX record] you can do a: sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] $emailaddressorpluglist That will spoof the sender. sendmail -d $emailaddressorpluglist Will do a debug session to see if the envelope was dropped.

An email message I sent to plug from my new gmail account about 45 minutes ago has not yet shown up so this is a test from my previous email account to see if there is some problem. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss (602)325-5325 Asterisk (503)754-4452 Blackberry EDVO/CDMA on Dell PII Kubuntu 7.10
