hi ya klaus

- what is the contents of your files
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw - make sure your rothert.de is listed
/etc/mail/access - make sure you relay for localhost
#
localhost.localdomain RELAY
localhost RELAY
127.0.0.1 RELAY
#
rother.de RELAY
others_for_this_box.de RELAY
More_VirtualDomains.de RELAY
/etc/mail/virtualusertable
...
- did you run make in /etc/mail and have a new *.db files
- did you restart sendmail
- check that smmsp is in your /etc/passwd and /etc/group
- check yor permissions
# ls -la /usr/sbin/sendmail
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 556062 Oct 10 23:22 /usr/sbin/sendmail

# ls -la /var/spool/
drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 4096 Oct 21 02:35 clientmqueue
drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 4096 Oct 21 02:35 mail
