LINUX SENDMAIL 5.65c+IDA-1.4.4.1
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
First, this package is intended for those with some form of
|
|
networked setup. I've put my linux box directly on the internet
|
|
via ethernet. This is the environment that I have tested sendmail
|
|
in.
|
|
|
|
I have followed the file locations listed in the included
|
|
man pages so please read the man pages before going crazy.
|
|
|
|
sendmai* goes in /etc
|
|
rmail and mail go in /bin
|
|
|
|
Mail is both a delivery agent and a replacement /bin/mail
|
|
rmail is configured to use sendmail to actually send the mail.
|
|
|
|
man pages go where appropriate (/usr/man/man1,man5,man8)
|
|
|
|
PLEASE READ THE FILES IN THE cf SUBDIRECTORY. You'll need to get m4
|
|
if you do not already have it in order to automatically set up a
|
|
sendmail.cf file.
|
|
|
|
Complete documentation is available in the complete sources for
|
|
sendmail-5.65c+IDA-1.4.4.1.tar.Z on ftp.uu.net in /mail
|
|
(file is 1842668 bytes long)
|
|
|
|
The configuration for my linux box (laredo.eas.gatech.edu) is included.
|
|
Please note, that if your linux box is not on a real network with
|
|
dns service, sendmail will likely not work for you. As compiled you
|
|
will need the new bind in your shared library (the same shared library
|
|
distributed with gcc 2.3.3 or my 486libs.so.tar.Z package)
|
|
|
|
Remember, because of the nature of sendmail, all problems that you
|
|
will be likely to encounter are related to your shared libraries
|
|
or your sendmail configuration. Before you come screaming to me
|
|
for help, please read the documentation included and recheck your
|
|
configuration. I configure sendmail for you. The best advice that
|
|
I can give is to copy a configuration file from a machine configured
|
|
simarly to yours which does exactly what you want it to do, requiring
|
|
nothing but host/domain name changes.
