I have installed smartlist and procmail under Debian (Hamm). I seem to have
made the necessary changes in sendmail.rc and sendmail.cf (I think).
I can use createlist successfully and have put the aliases in /etc/aliases
and run newaliases which counts them in. Trouble is that if I email the new
list request (test-request@psyctc1.sghms.ac.uk) I get nothing back. Copying
to other accounts on the same machine and elsewhere shows general delivery
going O.K.
After the line showing that the message was passed to
"|/var/list/.bin/flist test" /var/log/mail.log shows a complaint:
Sep 28 13:02:10 psyctc1 procmail[9053]: Error while writing to "log"
I assume that I've managed to get a permission wrong on a log file that
procmail wants to log its actions to or that I've failed to create
the file. Trouble is that I can't find any documentation mentioning
logging when procmail is being invoked directly by sendmail.
Can someone help me? I'm no unix wizard or programmer but I have a
lot of experience of running lists on mailbase and NTmail and I'd like
to transfer to smartlist and Debian but I'm stuck now. Advice
gratefully received.
Chris
