[webmin-l] Procmail help along with sendmail...

[Robert M. <rg...@ht...>]

Bit off topic, but I want to use Webmin to set up the procmail filter.

I am ASSuMing I have procmail installed.  There are some things in my M4 
configuration for sendmail that seems to indicate this.

Now I am setting up Asterfax.  Asterfax wants incoming faxs to be 
deposited in a directory like:

/var/spool/asterfax/inbox

My host is sip.htt-consult.com.  I want mail for fax.htt-consult.com to 
go into the asterfax inbox directory.

first I set up a CNAME for fax.domain.com
Then I add a local domain to sendmail of fax.htt-consult.com

and a procmail entry of

:0
* ^(To|Cc|Bcc).*@fax.htt-consult.com
/var/spool/asterfax/inbox/

(created with Webmin add new filter action)

I send an email to 74...@fa...

and I see in /var/log/maillog that the to get rewritten to 
74...@si... and there is no user 747.  Message is rejected.

Jun 15 17:16:51 sip sendmail[3172]: k5FLGpeM003172: 
<74...@si...>... User unknown
Jun 15 17:16:51 sip sendmail[3172]: k5FLGpeM003172: 
from=<rg...@ht...>, size=974, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, 
daemon=MTA, relay=[65.84.78.211]

So local domain is not the answer.

Then I try domain routing (mailertable).  I create the entry:

fax.htt-consult.com    procmail:

and spam control (access)

fax.htt-consult.com    OK

seems good.  But maillog says:

Jun 15 17:26:15 sip sendmail[3252]: k5FLQFXX003252: 
fro...@si..., size=431, class=0, nrcpts=1, 
msgid=<115...@si...>, relay=root@localhost
Jun 15 17:26:15 sip sendmail[3252]: k5FLQFXX003252: 
to...@fa..., ctl...@si... 
(100/101), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30431, 
relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection 
refused by [127.0.0.1]


Oh, since there is a user asterisk on this system, I am using Webmins 
user mail to send the test messages discussed above.

I can't figure out what sendmail did with the message when it got the 
connection refused....

Oh, I switched to Thunderbird mail from Eudora and still shaking things 
out...
