Well, I don't seem to be able to get this right. I tried the distribution version (generated by freebsd.mc) and a hacked up version. I still can't get mail to send out. Here is what I am using as freebsd.mc: (All comment lines are removed for brevity, and I have modified the SMART_HOST define). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OSTYPE(freebsd4) DOMAIN(generic) FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o /etc/mail/access') FEATURE(blacklist_recipients) FEATURE(local_lmtp) FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable') FEATURE(relay_based_on_MX) FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable') define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.ne.mediaone.net') define(`confCW_FILE', `-o /etc/mail/local-host-names') define(`confMAX_MIME_HEADER_LENGTH', `256/128') define(`confNO_RCPT_ACTION', `add-to-undisclosed') define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,noexpn,novrfy') MAILER(procmail) MAILER(smtp) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I know this isn't going to get sendmail to deliver to cyrus, but right now I am more worried about getting mail outgoing. I can worry about getting the other side right later. I have procmail installed with the group and user stickybits set: # ls -l /usr/local/bin/procmail -rwsr-sr-x 1 root mail 66312 Jul 27 22:56 /usr/local/bin/procmail and deliver: # ls -l /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -rwsr-sr-x 1 cyrus mail 608260 Jul 21 18:12 /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver And still I get the same thing - though these wouldn't affect outbound mail anyway. Both are installed from the ports (cyrus and procmail) and sendmail is the FreeBSD dist version - buildworld done 2 days ago on 4.3 STABLE. Neil, I appreciate your recent suggestions, but I fear they didn't do the trick. Any other suggestions are most welcome.
