Help… I’m new to courier and it looks like it’s running just fine except for a couple of things:

1.                            I’ve created symbolic links to the sendmail in /usr/bin and other directories as suggested in the install guide.  But, now I have old bash scripts running as “non-root” that are reporting 433 error message stating the service is unavailable (or something like that).  It seems that the file permission are such that it won’t allow execution and I’m not sure if that’s the entire problem.  Confused?

Confused.

2.                            I’ve also tried to run old scripts that use similar syntax as “cat textfile.txt | sendmail bruce” and I get the mail message as root but there is no body text as I had gotten with postfix.  What is different about the new syntax of courier’s “sendmail” syntax that prevents the body text from coming through?

The sendmail command expects to read a well-formed, RFC 2822-formatted, E-mail message, that consists of one or more headers, followed by a single blank line, then a message body.

Supplying just the body of an E-mail message, without the preceding headers and a blank line, will not work.
