Using debian, I have esmtp installed as my MTA and procmail as MDA. I'm trying to configure programs that use sendmail (e.g. logcheck, rkhunter, etc.) to successfully deliver reports to my local mail spool. On my system sendmail is a sym link to esmtp, and esmtp relies on a MDA (procmail) for local deliveries. Several programs (such as those mentioned above) install cron jobs that use the sendmail command. It would be nice to not have to work around that. Is anyone familiar with a way to configure this properly, hopefully without having to install something like exim4?
An example: $ sudo -u logcheck logcheck -t -m username [sudo] password for username: lstat: /home/username/.esmtprc: Permission denied open: /home/username/.esmtprc: Permission denied Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 78 Thanks, Nathan
