by I have recently converted our mail hub over from SunOS to Solaris 2.6
and I decided to use the latest version of sendmail 8.9.1. We keep a
log of certain mail messages which is simply delivered to a file on
that machine. However this version of sendmail does not appear willing
deliver directly to a file :
Jul 12 18:19:15 tay sendmail[3773]: SAA03772: alias wlog => /disk2/log/wlog
Jul 12 18:19:15 tay sendmail[3773]: SAA03772: to=/disk2/log/wlog,
delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Sent
shouldn't that be mailer=*file*. The config file is virtually
identical to the one we had before except the Mlocal line has been
changed to make it suitable for Solaris. Delivery to a program seems
similarly directed to mailer=local. Is there some new security feature
in sendmail 8.9 ? This used to work fine on sendmail 8.8.4.
Local delivery to ordinary users and forwarding of email seem to work
fine. The file permissions of wlog are 666.
Can anyone throw any light on this ?
