sendmail.mc entries

Hi,

BTW: you should be using 8.12.9, because of security issues with earlier 
versions ...

I don't have added much. This is because I use queuegroups:
define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_QGRP', `local')

This depends on your Cyrus setup:
define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS', `FILE /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp')

You need this one:
define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')

And of course:

MAILER(`cyrusv2')dnl

That's basically what I have, except for the local rule. That seems to be 
for bulletin boards, which I don't use.

That seems to be a wild mix of the old and the new definitions! I don't 
think that makes any sense ... probably the first two defines have no 
effect (I'd have to look at the .m4) and the third gets overwritten by the 
fourth ... I wouldn't rely on your friend's advice if I were you ;-)

This is for bulletin boards once again.

I don't believe that there is one. Start simple. Get the basics working 
first, add other stuff later.

Good luck, Sebastian
