sendmail making noises at me

Post #1 of 4 (2336 views)

To begin with, do I get the 'First Post' for the new list..?:)

Anyway,

While this isn't a real problem, I've been trying to figure out why I'm getting
the Permission denied warning for the debug file - something to do with
eliveryMode, but I don't hafe my O'Reilly Sendmail book around either.
Everything works fine, it's just been bugging me for a while now, and I'm
damned if I can figure it out...

Here's the output I'm getting with every mailed transaction:
-------

write_log:fopen_as_user: given non-root anchored path: eliveryMode=b
sendmail: fopen_as_user: given non-root anchored path: eliveryMode=b
write_log:Warning: Cannot open debug file eliveryMode=b: Permission denied

write_log:received
| from: rorMode=m
| program: sendmail
| size: 699 bytes
requestor@domain.tld: domain.tld matched by bind_hosts:
routed requestor@domain.tld --> requestor@domain.tld at domain.tld
transport hint mx 10 mail.thecia.ie
address hint mail.thecia.ie 123.456.789.012
transport itld_zone_bind_smtp uses driver tcpsmtp
lock retry/smtp/mail.thecia.ie
lock succeeded (will defer failure) retry/smtp/mail.thecia.ie
transport itld_zone_bind_smtp: connect to host mail.thecia.ie [159.134.244.168]/
smtp...connected
unlock (success) retry/smtp/mail.thecia.ie
write_log:delivered
| via: mail.thecia.ie
| to: requestor@domain.tld
| orig-to: requestor@domain.tld
| router: bind_hosts
| transport: itld_zone_bind_smtp
write_log:Completed.

Any ideas?

That really doesn't sound like sendmail 8.
What _exact_ version of sendmail are you running?

Unless it's a recentish sendmail inc sendmail (aka berkeley sendmail)
I suggest you use the simplified sendmail options per the Makefile.

It looks like you have a missing 'd' somewhere....

HAH! That *would* explain it... you know I had thought that before, then
dismissed it as being too, well obvious.
Ho hum...
