FW: [rt-users] rt-mailgate

[Cassily, Ryan]

Very interesting.  I believe we're making headway.  I had to add a symbolic link in the /etc/smrsh directory to get sendmail to use rt-mailgate.  However, I am now recieving an error in the mailog:

and I get an error back after the relay times out after 4 hrs with:

Seems like I'm running into a dns issue now with it coming back with a bad hostname.

There we go. smrsh will only allow you to execute programs in
the sm.bin directory and will bail out with 'Service unavailable'
if the program isn't there.

The exact sm.bin path depends on your system, usually that's
/usr/libexec/sm.bin or /var/adm/sm.bin.

You either have to copy rt-mailgate (or a small wrapper script) into
the sm.bin directory or you have to modify the sendmail configuration
to

Mprog,          P=/usr/sbin/smrsh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D=$z:/,
                T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix,
                A=sh -c $u

which will allow you to run arbitrary programs to deliver mail.
It's up to you to decide wether the more strict security of
smrsh is required on your system.
