Configure Sendmail to prevent failure after system updates
This line does not work for me, I get an error "Unmatched '."
Configure Sendmail to prevent failure after system updates
I noticed at least one important problem with the terminal
command you're trying to run.
Notice that the two leading single quotes
(`confDONT_BL... and `GroupWritableDi...)
are incorrectly displayed as back ticks in the
instructions above.
The correct line should read:
echo "define('confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',
'GroupWritableDirPathSafe')dnl" >> system-darwin.mc
[all in one line of course] I hope this resolves the problem because I didn't even have the time to try out this very interesting hint myself yet. Enjoy!

That was an error on my part, and I forgot to the quotes.
Correction
Wait, sorry, I misread your comment (I thought I forgot the
""'s). That's correct, here are the last three lines from my
system-darwin.mc file
MAILER(smtp) MAILER(procmail) define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupWritableDirPathSaf e')dnl ---
Configure Sendmail to prevent failure after system updates
That wasn't an error -- the m4 config files seem to need unbalanced quotes, `like this'. I'm not sure if balanced quotes will work, but all the Sendmail configuration I've been able to find uses the backtick-apostrophe style of quotation.
Configure Sendmail to prevent failure after system updates
Actually, the line as shown is correct. The first character is
Configure Sendmail to prevent failure after system updates
Assuming that MacAvenger is correct, and that you DO need the
backtick, then you should be able to "fix" the hint by escaping
the backtick with backslashes, thusly:
echo "define(\`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',
\`GroupWritableDirPathSafe')dnl"
>> system-darwin.mcYou need to do this because the backtick is a special shell character, anything enclosed in them will get executed in a subshell. You need to place a backslash in front of them if you want the shell to consider them to be a normal character. Example: user1% echo I am at `hostname`
And yes, I censored my real hostname.
testing. ignore this!
just testing how backslashes get stripped. move along... |
