Hi, I installed a new server recently with postfix. I first rebuilt world using WITH_SENDMAIL=no and removed the sendmail files using 'make delete-old'. I installed postfix in /usr but now mailwrapper doesn't work - it runs using 100% CPU and never quits. I suspect it might be stuck in a loop trying to run the sendmail binary and being redirected back to itself. So /etc/mail/mailer.conf contains: sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/sbin/sendmail mailq /usr/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/sbin/sendmail is: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Oct 2 09:50 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/sbin/mailwrapper Should it actually be the sendmail binary that postfix installs, and if so I'm wondering how it could have ended up being a symlink? -- Bruce Cran
