More confusion
Authored by: tjj on Mar 10, '03 02:49:39PM

Hmmm, confused indeed. I too used the oreilly article getting sendmail to pass on output from cronjobs. However, I don't think my sendmail broke immediately after the sec-update. I think it first broke after running either the weekly or monthly cleanup job. I then added a # to a out-commented line in the config.mc file and updated as per the instructions on the oreilly site. This got things working. I then checked the sendmail binary for this line
[xxx:/usr/sbin] xxx% strings sendmail | grep 'Dropped invalid comments from header address'
Dropped invalid comments from header address

which, according to the sendmail.org site should be present after the patch.
Sendmail version stated when i do mail -v.... is ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.7/8.12.6. Is this ok? I mean, the specified line IS in the sendmail binary...

Digression (sorry): I have my /Users/myusername sym-linked to another volume: /Volumes/Users/myusername and sendmail keeps complaining about the permissions of /Volumes beeing world writable. I keep changing it to
drwxrwxr-t 7 root wheel 238 Mar 10 17:10 /Volumes/
Am I causing trouble by removing th e world writable ability?

Think I may look into this qmail when the time is available...
TIA
