I am battling to get up and running with mlmmj; my mails are winding up in /var/spool/mqueue, and if I try to flush the queue I get an "Operating system error, broken pipe". I am probably missing something simple, but can't see it for the life of me! Any help would be most welcome. I give details of what I did below. Please tell me if this is too much detail, and I will amend my ways in future. Regards, Geoff. ================================= I am using SuSE10.1 which has sendmail-8.13.6-9 mlmmj-1.2.11-15. The setup is a private network (192.168.x.x) using masquerading. The production environment will use an ADSL line; my test machine uses a dial-up. Both work fine with DNS, routing, POP, sendmail, Apache2 and Squid - and very little else. I get the same problem in both environments (switch off the ADSL router to catch the mails before they escape and come back 5 days later as undeliverable!) 1) I installed mlmmj from rpm using YaST 2) I modified sendmail's LOCAL_SHELL_FLAGS settings in /usr/share/sendmail/ostype/suse-linux as per Matthias Kilian's mail of 29 Jul 2005 (but note the SuSE default included a '0' ). The resulting mailer prog entry in sendmail.cf is : Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu09P, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D=$z:/, T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix, A=sh -c $u 3) I created my test list and made the alias entry thus : # /usr/bin/mlmmj-make-ml.sh -L testing -a and responded to the questions, did a newaliases. 4) I changed ownership to the DefaultUser defined in /etc/sendmail.cf : # chown -R daemon:daemon /var/spool/mlmmj/testing 5) I added some users and mailed notifications : # /usr/bin/mlmmj-sub -L /var/spool/mlmmj/testing/ -a geoff@suse10.stansfield -c and the mail notification(s) got delivered. 6) As geoff I mutt to testing@suse10.stansfield and the mail ends up in /var/spool/mqueue. 7) Checked sendmail delivery (after a newaliases) : # sendmail -bv testing@suse10.stansfield "|/usr/bin/mlmmj-recieve -L /var/spool/mlmmj/testing/"... deliverable: mailer prog, user "|/usr/bin/mlmmj-recieve -L /var/spool/mlmmj/testing/" 8) I try flushing the queue and log the problem as follows : # sendmail -q -v Running /var/spool/mqueue/o4BCXUHx003730 (sequence 1 of 1) "|/usr/bin/mlmmj-recieve -L /var/spool/mlmmj/testing/"... Connecting to prog... putbody: write error: Broken pipe Operating system error. 9) The only "non standard" tweak to sendmail has been to add a local ruleset so mails detailed in virtusertable get delivered locally instead of being bounced via the ISP. I can't see that being an issue - the mailer for mlmmj is not local but prog. 10) Now I know I have exhausted my knowledge and need help!!!!!!
