The problem was that under Solaris 2.x /bin/mail fails to quote
`From ', and since sendmail uses it to write local mail this can cause
trouble with mailers which don't understand content-length, and is in
general a bad thing.
There were two solutions: replace /bin/mail, and make sendmail do the
quoting.
Rich Schultz <rich@ccrwest.org> said:
Get mail.local from ftp.cert.org and use that instead of /bin/mail for local
delivery.
Kevin Sheehan {Consulting Poster Child} <Kevin.Sheehan@uniq.com.au>,
Brett Lymn <blymn@awadi.com.au> told me to use the `E' flag in the
mailer definition in sendmail.cf:
Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=flsSDFMmnPE, S=10, R=20, A=mail -d $u
for instance. Casper Dik <casper@holland.sun.com> pointed out that
this is in the Solaris FAQ...
Thanks.
