Sendmail /etc/mail/virtusertable headache!


Hi everybody,
I'm using Sun Enterprise 250 machine, installed with Solaris 8. Recently I downloaded the latest version of sendmail (which is sendmail-8.12.6 ) , and compiled it with this command:

./Build NROFF=nroff MANDOC= install

This ran without a problem. Then i edited my host.mc (which is web.mc ) file like so:

divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`$Id: web.mc,v 8.13 2001/06/27 21:46:30 gshapiro Exp $')
OSTYPE(solaris2)dnl
DOMAIN(generic)dnl
FEATURE(virtusertable, 'dbm /etc/mail/virtusertable')dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl


Then I ran ./Build web.mc

This also ran without a hitch. Then I went about following the steps in this how-to:

www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html

Evertyhing was ok, or so I thought. But when I ran this command:


makemap /etc/mail/virtusertable < virtusertable.txt

I found out that the /etc/mail/virtualusertable file was not created! Hmm..funny. The virtusertable.txt file is where i put in my virtual user table (since I plan to do virtual hosting). But I fear because of the nonexistent /etc/mail/virtusertable, it wouldnt work. I was right. When I ran this command to test it:

sendmail -bt

Then I typed in this command:

> /map virtuser suzana@ict.com.my

I got this error message:

dbm map "virtuser": missing map file /etc/mail/virtusertable''
map_lookup: virtuser (suzana@ict.com.my) no match (75)

What's the problem? I think I've followed the instruction quite clearly ( the keyword is ' i think' )...i dont understand. How come my /etc/mail/virtusertable is not created? Even when I created it manually, i still got the same error..

help..headache

Apparently Sendmail went through some major revision. The sample you are using is from the old version of the text, this is the new version < http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sendmail3/ > covering the new updated Sendmail.

D*mn, just what i need at this deadline

yeah this is so different from sendmail version 8.10.x that I used before...and so many features and files I'm not familiar with

Anybody got a link that has a guide on how to configure sendmail 8.12 ?

Thanks Gtkuser

Suzana
