Description of problem: When starting sendmail after a custom installation the messages started to appear: sm-client: No local mailer defined QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set After generating my own sendmail.mc and running: make -C /etc/mail sendmail appears to be working normally on the system for remote users. However the above messages still appear everytime after restarting sendmail. After that if local users (logged on the console) try to send mail the same messages appear again: [root@smallbox root]# mail lucho Subject: test . Cc: Null message body; hope that's ok [root@smallbox root]# No local mailer defined QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set Procmail and m4 are installed and procmail is defined as a local mailer. After applying the latest sendmail rpms the problem still exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.12.8-9.90 procmail-3.22-9 m4-1.4.1-13 How reproducible: See above Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
