As always the problem is sitting in front of the keyboard ;-) Since I
copied a my home directory from my old suse system I inherited an old
~/.procmailrc for the local user. I have adaped this file and local
mails are now delivered as expected.

One problem is left:
I use a dailup connection. At my old linux system I had a local
sendmail daemon which delivers "outgoing" mails when executing
"sendmail -q". The local sendmail daemon puts all outgoing mail in a
queue and keeps them until "sendmail -q" is executed. For receiving
mails I used fetchmail to pull the mail from my provider and deliver
them to local users.
When I give "outgoing" mails to sendmail it simply hangs for a while.
After then the mails appear in the mail queue. I would like that the
mails are placed in the queue immediately. Further I need an address
mapping that sendmail replaces the FROM-address with some my mail
provider accepts. I used /etc/mail/genericstable for that but I seems
not to work.
Can anybody point out where my mistakes might be?
Thanks in advance.
BTW: Is there a way to configure sendmail so that it does a
user-password-authentification before sending the mails to the
provider's MTA?
Cheers, Uwe
