[H-GEN] Mail problems... SOLVED !! (maybe)

[Michael Anthon]

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs Michael Anthon <mca at tams.com.au>)

Well,
I *think* I have solved my mail problems and contrary to popular opinion, it
WAS a sendmail problem.

It seems that sendmail is ignoring the DeliveryMode option in the
sendmail.cf file.  All along I have had the following lines in there....

	# delivery mode
	O DeliveryMode=background

and background mode IS what I want, but sendmail is using interactive mode
(going by the logs and tcpdump).  I have now added "-O
DeliveryMode=background" to the command line used to start sendmail in the
init scripts and it is definitely using background mode.

I have not yet investigated WHY it might be ignoring the config file option,
but that might be for another day, I really have some other work to do.

Thanks to all that provided advice and put up with my spamming and ramblings
8^)

Cheers
Michael A.
