I'm having an issue when retreiving mail with fetchmail. It fails at the handoff to local sendmail.
It happens with the default sendmail config sendmail.mc that is shipped with sendmail when emerged. It is a very abbreviated config that is desinged only for local mail I think. divert(-1) divert(0)dnl include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl VERSIONID(`$Id$')dnl OSTYPE(linux)dnl DOMAIN(generic)dnl FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`/usr/sbin/mail.local')dnl define(`confTRUSTED_USER', `smmsp')dnl MAILER(local)dnl MAILER(smtp)dnl And since this is a sort of one off situation where I only want to receive mail on this host temporarily while repairing another host where mail is normally retrieved. I don't care at all about sending out mail... only receiving. I'm pretty sure this line: FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`/usr/sbin/mail.local')dnl Is the culprit but wondered if anyone here can offer a bit of sendmail.mc config that will allow this host to receive mail from my pop servers thru fetchmail. Before folks start with the `Egad what are you doing with sendmail when "your favorite MTA" is so much better..... Really not helpful in this case... I just need the most minimal correction to sendmail.mc that will allow mail to be retreived. Sorry I don't have the actual output from fetchmail on hand ... until I can get chrooted into that host currently being worked on with systemrescueCD. Any suggestions for lines to add to sendmail.mc? And I assume removing the quoted line is necessary as well.
