How do I get sendmail to store mails on cyrus?

[Søren Neigaard]

Hi again

Ok now Im following this guide to get postfix running with cyrus:
http://www.metaconsultancy.com/whitepapers/smtp.htm

In this guide there is this line to get postfix to deliver mail to cyrus:

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp

I dont have this path, however I have these:

/etc/pam.d/lmtp
/usr/libexec/postfix/lmtp
/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp

I was thinking that the "/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" might be the right one,
or maybe I need to do some sort of cyrus configuration, or?

Yes, and you have the document describing how - it comes with the
source, look for 'install-configure', it describes how to set up
sendmail, postfix and exim. Or you can find it on the cyrus home
page:

If this is not enough, take a google, there are tons of pages
describing how to setup cyrus with various MTA's, eg:

So I guess you're new with sendmail? Are you sure you are actually
running sendmail? Many linux distros have replaced sendmail because
it is overly complex. I'd recommend you take a look at Postfix,
but ofcourse this is a matter of taste.
