In RedHat9.0 after I changed from kernel 2.4.20.20-9 to kernel
2.4.22 I can't send mail any longer with exmh or with pine.

To which I got only one reply.

I finally solved the problem. I made a "make upgrade" with postfix which seems to have fixed it.

It did not solve it, it only stopped giving error messages and placed the mail in the queue from which it could not be mailed.

The culprit was sendmail-8.12.8-9.90.i386.rpm. I uninstalled it and went back to
sendmail-8.11.6-27.73.i386.rpm and this mail will go out with exmh.

I started to suspect sendmail when on booting I always got the error:
sm-client failed, invalid option -- A.

Therefore RH9 seems to be buggy. With the kernel 2.4.20.20-9 I can't open siag office and with sendmail-8.12.8-9.90 I can't send mail. This is the Krud Linux version of RH9.

Greetings: Sendmail 8.12.X is a new ball game due to upgrading security, I read, not running suid root.. I found a few things so far the worst being the fact that 'mailq' couldn't find the queued mail because it was in /var/spool/clientmqueue instead of mqueue.. I, also, had to change sendmail.cf to reflect this and it now works except for my 'masquerading' problem, which is not supported in 8.12.X... Since I'm running Slackware 9.0 or 9.1 exclusively I thought the problem was with Sendmail. Apparently it's with both it AND the distribution at odds with each other, whatever..

Never a dull moment.. I can't seem to find much, either, about what the new user 'smmsp' is all about, and the fact that Sendmail 8.12.X now uses two .cf files instead of the former one.. Cheers,
