Dan & Sean - Thanks for your help. After spending much time
on this problem, I needed to 'move on'. The only suggestion I
have not tried, would be to alter the archive2.pl script. It was
suggested to have archive2.pl run the formail to alter the STDIN.
Because I have very limited knowledge of perl, I'll try that later.
Your suggestion of using links in /etc/smrsh seem to have no
affect on the results. Still "service unavailable" and "no piping allowed",
prevailed. Which I don't understand. If the link to the wrapper works,
why not formail & procmail?
So, my solution was to alter the sendmail.cf file from...
Mprog, P=/usr/sbin/smrsh
to
Mprog, P=/bin/bash
According to the documentation, I have removed my security. Not
quite understanding what security I have removed, but it works. I have
installed RH to be a trusted system. After the modification, I reviewed
the old RD 5.2 sendmail and found it to be the same, "/bin/bash" or "/bin/sh".
So, for now, if the old system was without security, then the new one will
also be without security. If you have any last thoughts, free free to write.
Again...Thank you,
Steve Magee
