Re: Sendmail cannot start properly.
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m.
This command is invoking in starting sendmail's script (/sbin/init.d/sendmail). If sendmail started successfully check /sbin/init.d/sendmail for errors as it was described in above discussion. Symlink /sbin/rc2.d/S540sendmail must be linked to /sbin/init.d/sendmail and /sbin/init.d/sendmail is a _script_, NOT a link !

Re: Sendmail cannot start properly.
- copying from other system
- reinstalling sendmail patch PHNE_17190
- install more current sendmail patch
/sbin/init.d/sendmail is usually a script which is run at startup with the option 'start'. Since on your system this is a direct link to /usr/sbin/sendmail at startup the sendmail *binary* is run with option start and therefore treats start us 'username'

Re: Sendmail cannot start properly.
I don't think this will help since /sbin/init.d/sendmail is not a script but a link:
$ ll /sbin/init.d/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 18 Aug 28 13:29 /sbin/init.d/sendmail -/usr/sbin/sendmail

Re: Sendmail cannot start properly.
$ /sbin/init.d/sendmail start
or
$ /usr/sbin/sendmail start
since the first one is a symbolic link to the second one ....

Jochen

Re: Sendmail cannot start properly.
/etc/aliases file.
It needs specific users authorized pointing to unix accounts. I know there are better ways to do this, but this is how I did it.
inv@investmenttool.com: invester
inq@investmenttool.com: invester
webmast@investmenttool.com: invester
here is a script to build the hash databases.
#!/bin/sh
# A script designed to rebuild all relavent mail databases after a con
# change.
#
#
newaliases
cd /etc/mail
makemap -r -v hash access.db < access
makemap -r -v hash domaintable.db < domaintable
makemap -r -v hash genericstable.db < genericstable
makemap -r -v hash mailertable.db < mailertable
makemap -r -v hash virtusertable.db < virtusertable
cp /etc/sendmail.cf /root
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
echo "You need to edit the sendmail.cf file for localhost et al"
sleep 3
vi /etc/sendmail.cf
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
You need to update the Dj$w.... parameter if your mail server can't figure out your domain name from your hostname, at least on Linux.
I have lots more on this, having screwed everything up possible with this configuration.
Understand that to get mail onto aol's system, dns names must be validated, otherwise they reject the mail with a nasty message. It gets better, yahoo accepts the mail but won't deliver it.

Re: Sendmail cannot start properly.
Good morning !With all the inputs, I managed to solve my problem. The main issue is that /sbin/init.d/sendmail should be a script not a link. I copied these file from somewhere.
It may not be the correct version but i can be bear with it right now.
Thanks for all the good suggestions !
