Re: how to direct returned mail to dead.letter file instead of to root
rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 77758 Mar 10 2003 sendmail.cf
New system (that does not send to dead.letter)
r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 77758 Mar 28 14:44
I have changed the new system to be rw like the old system. Waiting to see if that helps

Do a
diff -w old_sendmail.cf new_sendmail.cf
Also check the /etc/syslog.conf files on both servers.
live free or die

Re: how to direct returned mail to dead.letter file instead of to root
.forward is in old system, NOT in new system as follows:
root@stan:/opt/pred/bin>ll .forward
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 52 Jul 22 1999 .forward
root@stan:/opt/pred/bin>
".forward" [Read only] 1 line, 52 characters
1 "|/opt/pred/bin/tcpemail /opt/pred/var/tcpemail.kf"

Thanks for the help. I don't know much about sendmail (obviously!)

Re: how to direct returned mail to dead.letter file instead of to root
Man 5 aliases:
"If a file named .forward exists in a user's home directory and is owned by the user, sendmail redirects mail for that user to the list of addresses in the .forward file.
An address in a .forward or :include: file can be anything that can appear as a mailing-list in the alias text file."
-and-
"Each line of the alias text file must be of the form:
alias : mailing-list"
