Description of problem: I noted that emails sent via squirrelmail to local users get lost. So I looked at the problem more closely and it looks like sendmail fails to deliver any locally submitted email to local users. Email from outside are delivered just fine. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: I tried to send an email to a local user using a) telnet localhost 25 b) mail The mail is accepted by sendmail and corresponding log entries are written: Mar 9 20:24:18 keen sendmail[10823]: h29JOH3I010823: from=root, size=30, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200303091924.h29JOH3I010823.ac.at>, relay=root@localhost Mar 9 20:24:18 keen sendmail[10826]: h29JOH3I010823: to=gerald, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30026, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent However, the mail never shows up in the mailbox of the user!? Moreover, the mailq is empty, so it is not hanging somewhere.
This strange. I just did rpm -e --nodeps sendmail rm -rf /etc/mail rpm -i sendmail-8.12.8-1.80.i386.rpm copied my config files back and now it works just fine!? I don't get it....
