Hi David,

The mailer definition that you are using in your cyrusv2.mc file is
for
cyrus version 1. You need to use the mailer definitions from
/path/to/sendmail/source/cf/mailer/cyrusv2.m4; you have those from
/path/to/sendmail/source/cf/mailer/cyrus.m4 instead.

One precaution: you are using the "deliver" program for mail delivery
to cyrus (the default with version 1). The cyrusv2 mailer definition
uses lmtp instead, which, I believe, is the preferred method. You will
need to change this if there is a particular reason that you want to
use
"deliver", or check in /etc/cyrus.conf to see if you are starting the
lmtp service there.

HTH, Mike.

***************************************

Mike,

Trying not burden this group with my newbie questions.  I'm new to
Linux and do not have a programming background.  I'm using the right
source
now, but my failed results are below.

It must be something in the source configuration, which I copied from
the
cyrusv2.m4 file and tried to customiye in a files I've called
myfile.mc.

Please help!

David S. Brown



***** Creating myfile.mc *****

[root at ServerCharlie cf]# cp /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/cyrusv2.m4
myfile.mc
cp: A>myfile.mcA< A?berschreiben? j
[root at ServerCharlie cf]# ./Build myfile.cf
Using M4=/usr/bin/m4
rm -f myfile.cf
/usr/bin/m4 ../m4/cf.m4 myfile.mc > myfile.cf || ( rm -f myfile.cf &&
exit 1 )
chmod 444 myfile.cf

Hi David,

The cyrusv2.m4 goes at the _end_ of your .mc file, not in its place.
You need to get back your old .mc file, edit it and remove the cyrus
definition at the end of it, if it is there and put the contents of
mailer/cyrusv2.m4 at the end. Then make and install a new .cf.

There should be a line in the new .cf file that begins with "Mcyrusv2"
now. If there is, you should be all set.

you should now add the following line:

lmtpsocket: /var/imap/socket/lmtp

to imapd.conf

Unless you need a tcp socket listening on lmtp (sendmail host and cyrus
host on different machines), I would comment out the
"lmtp	cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0" line and have only
the lmtpunix active.
