Bug#2781: sendmail-8.7.5-3
Package: sendmail
Version: 8.7.5-3
*Finally* it showed up on our local mirror. I don't know if this is
the latest version, but I installed and tried it.
- The postinst script runs "newaliases", but sendmail.cf hasn't
been created yet on a "virgin" system - exit(1). I had to edit
the /var/lib/dpkg/info/sendmail.postinst file by hand to comment
out the call to newaliases before I could configure sendmail.
- All config files are in /etc. The consensus on other systems
(and in the FSSTND) seems to be that mail configuration files,
except /etc/aliases, are kept in /etc/mail. My /etc is waaaay
too full already ;)
Another advantage of a /etc/mail directory is that one can
put a Makefile there to rebuild the databases - yes I use
userdb, domaintable, mailertable, etc.
- There is no debian.README in /usr/doc/sendmail that explains
where all files are located and that you can re-run the
sendmailconfig script - just a bit of documentation would be
nice.
Mike.
