Hi,
someone please help before I pull my hair out. I have been trying on and off now for a week or so to get sendmail on a Solaris 9 box to deliver mail to a script so that it can be parsed for automation. I have an entry in the aliases file that looks like this:
user1: "|/export/home/user1/bin/filter"
at the moment, /export/home/user1/bin/filter looks like this:
while read LINEIN ; do
echo $LINEIN >> /export/home/user1/mail.txt
done
under Solaris 9, there doesn't seem to be a sendmail.mc file, but looking in the sendmail.cf file, all is default and to my reckoning should work. When I send a message to the above alias, I get an "unknown mailer error 1". according to information on the Sendmail website, this means the mailer program is missing, but as you can see it's not.
What am I missing? Why wont this work? Please help :v(
