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.
