Ok, so the recompile with the TCPwrappers worked. But it didnt stop
my errors.
Now Im pretty sure that when I was under Solaris 9 I was working
sendmail 8.14.1
or it may have been a later version of 8.13.x. In any event sendmail
worked under Solaris 9
but when I restored my backups to Solaris 10, I ran into problems.

It seems that my root account (or even my local account) cannot send
email to any email
alias or to any other user on Concept (or localhost). I ran
'newaliases' a few times and no
complaints.
I can send/receive email from outside concept.temple.edu, no matter
the account, without
problems.

I thought it might be permissions, but they look correct.
pts/4 root concept.temple.edu /backups/installers/sendmail-8.14.1/cf/
cf # ls -l /var/spool/
total 100
drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 39936 Aug 6 13:00 clientmqueue
drwxr-x--- 2 root bin 2048 Aug 6 12:42 mqueue



sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc can be found here:
http://concept.temple.edu/sysadmin/Documentation/sendmail/

You sure?

~$ telnet concept.temple.edu 25
Trying 155.247.27.102...
telnet: connect to address 155.247.27.102: Connection refused

I've seen savemail errors before, on each occasion it was incorrect perms
on /tmp is yours 1777 ?

I know its early, but it looks OK to me, if you dont use all those
comments, I'd remove them, makes it less cluttered.

define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS' is very extreme and much unnecessary

try...
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS',
`authwarnings,novrfy,noexpn,restrictqrun,noreceipts')dnl

I have an example at http://support.ausics.net/sendmail.mc

It does not differ much from the ones I use on my main servers, I have a
few extra milters and regex tests and larger values on queues and a few
opther 'anal' type spam checks etc, but the one here is what I use for my
stand alone colo boxes, so for basic use it works fine.

DOH! The 'sendmail -bd -q15m' process died. Only 'sendmail -Ac -
q15m' was
running.

Permissions are: drwxrwxrwt root sys

I actually do use all those comments because I rarely go into the MC
file
so I tend to forget what it all means.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. But that doesnt seem to be the cause
of the
problem when I was under Solaris 9.

Can someone give me the permissions for all of the necessary sendmail
directories under
Solaris 10 so I can double-check my directories?

Thanks.

Nevermind! I solved it, but maybe some one can explain it to me?

I checked the queues
/usr/bin/mailq -v
/usr/bin/mailq -v -Ac
/usr/bin/mailq -v -qL
/usr/bin/mailq -v -qQ
and found an error with the 'submitted' queue (-Ac):

"Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.14.1 supports version
10, .cf file is version 0"


and I remembered from last week that sendmail complained about /etc/
mail/submit.cf not liking
V10/Sun (specifically the word Sun) on particular line. So I changed
it to read V10, restarted
sendmail, and now I can send email to myself once again. :)

So I guess that submit.cf is used for localhost delivery and
sendmail.cf for the daemon?
I also wonder why I couldnt have seen that error in syslog logs? That
would be a nice feature
for the future.
