Configure Sendmail to prevent failure after system updates
Authored by: kerouassady on May 07, '03 01:13:48PM
If you install Webmin, you can easily enable, disable, and configure sendmail with an interface. If you click on the "Sendmail Options" button under the Sendmail Server tab, at the bottom, it lists configurable options. GroupWriteableDirPathSafe is in the list at the bottom. Just click it and hit start.

Can configuring Sendmail be put into a FAQ here somewhere here? This seems like a hint that gets repeated after every system update.

The other option, as someone else, I'm sure, will post, is to use Fink to install either another version of Sendmail or another mail server like Postfix or Qmail that will put itself into another folder that Apple won't touch when there's an update. Plus, I'm sure someone will say, Postfix is more secure and better and blah blah blah.
