Hi, I have a Centos 5 system with sendmail running as my MTA. Normally I note from sendmail logs that mails get delivered using the 'local' mailer. I have therefore entered the following into my sendmail.mc file, from an earlier post on this list: define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver') define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS',`DFMPhfnu9') define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS',`deliver -d $u') However, when sendmail tries to use deliver I just get this message: Feb 13 15:37:23 gate sendmail[1399]: p1DEWtc2021995: to=<user at example.org>,...
