*** Culprit: sendmail-8.12.5-7 on RH 8.0 but probably me instead.
Problem: Make sendmail put my mail in queue when I'm not on the network
and send it when I'm back home.
Client: Pine 4.44... :-)
I use a very basic sendmail.cf file and send all mail to my hub at home
which does the rest. I'm using the same (slightely adjusted for the latest
sendmail version) sendmail.mc file I used until now, with specifically
"FEATURE(`delay_checks')dnl" in the sendmail.mc file
and
To:linuxix.2y.net RELAY
Connect:linuxix.2y.net RELAY
in the /etc/mail/access file per instructions of
/usr/share/sendmail-cf/README file:
delay_checks The rulesets check_mail and check_relay will not be called
when a client connects or issues a MAIL command,
respectively.
Instead, those rulesets will be called by the check_rcpt
ruleset; they will be skipped under certain circumstances.
See "Delay all checks" in the anti-spam configuration control
section. Note: this feature is incompatible to the versions
in 8.10 and 8.11.
According to me and the instruction above, all checks should be postponed
and I should be able to put mail in the queue while away. However,
sendmail is complaining with:
ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<zoki.porta at linuxix.2y.net>,
relay=zoki at localhost, reject=553 5.1.8 <zoki.porta at linuxix.2y.net>...
Domain of sender address zoki.porta at linuxix.2y.net does not exist
I'm overlooking something, but what?
Cheers,
Zoran.
