How can I test /var/qmail/bin/sendmail? Do you think there would be a way to check to make sure my script is actually calling the binary? Alex __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I've only got to the question about mailwrappers because that's where I was led in search of a fix for this problem. The script, by default, calls the mail program as /usr/lib/sendmail, which didn't work; I've been toying around with everything from a symlinked /usr/sbin/sendmail to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject, and none of those work. Can anyone provide help relevant to that problem? Thanks, Alex __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - Buy the things you want at great prices. http://auctions.yahoo.com/

DJB posted to this list once, pointing out problems with mailer.conf -- if the system fails to open it (out of fds, etc), it defaults to using sendmail -- hardly what you want.

Don't use BSD's mailwrapper. It's terribly unreliable. Put symlinks in place as the qmail docs tell you. Greetz, Peter.
Mailwrapper not working
I've posted several questions to this list recently on this topic, none of which have been satisfactorily answered. I apologize for any redundancy. The root of my problem is that my mail wrapper seems to be malfunctioning. Neither /usr/sbin/sendmail -- from OBSD 2.8's default install of Sendmail -- or /var/qmail/bin/sendmail seem to work at all. When I point a popular Perl script at them (FormMail.pl), the script executes but produces nothing in /var/log/maillog. How can I test my mailwrapper for functionality? Would it be possible to reinstall the mailwrapper without reinstalling all of qmail if I find it's not functional? Are there any config files I need to be checking? Thanks for your help.
