sendmail and cyrus-imap - delivery problem

Sun Mar 22 12:37:32 EDT 2009

Hi,
thanks for the response.

I did what you suggested
I defined new mailer like this:

# cat /usr/share/sendmail/cf/mailer/cyrusv2vd.m4

###   Cyrus V2 Mailer specification   ###

VERSIONID(`$Id: cyrusv2vd.m4,v 1.1 2002/06/01 21:14:57 ca Exp $')

Mcyrusv2vd,     P=[IPC], F=_MODMF_(CONCAT(_DEF_CYRUSV2_MAILER_FLAGS, CYRUSV2_MAILER_FLAGS), `CYRUSV2'),
                S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP, E=\r\n,
                _OPTINS(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_MAXMSGS', `m=', `, ')_OPTINS(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_MAXRCPTS', `r=', `, ')_OPTINS(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_CHARSET', `C=', `, ')T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP,_CYRUSV2_QGRP
                A=CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS

which is of course copy of cyrusv2.m4 with the modifications you suggested
and in my yo.com.mc file I just replaced all occurances of cyrusv2 with cyrusv2vd
then I rebuilt sendmail.cf and restarted sendmail
it seemed to accept the new mailer
however the result is exactly the same

Mar 22 16:28:22 yo sm-mta[97935]: n2MGSLe6097935: from=<whoever at gmail.com>, size=1575, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<9cddded00903220928i7a2a8fcfkc2fd206491021847 at mail.gmail.com>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=IPv4, relay=mail-fx0-f163.google.com [209.85.220.163]

Mar 22 16:28:22 yo sm-mta[97937]: n2MGSLe6097935: n2MGSMe6097937: DSN: User unknown

I tried this:
# ( echo subject: test ; echo testmsg ) | sendmail -v -Am boo at yo.com

it now seems like sendmail doesn't strip the domain
but cyrus still can't "find" the mailbox

yes, the mailbox is there
I check this over and over
and it's always there

any quick suggestions before I try rtcyrus3 ?

thank you.
