Good afternoon,

When you recompiled Sendmail did you enable Miltering?

Hello,

sendmail has been running for a long time on this Solaris box. Prior to applying the patch cluster, I did not change sendmail at all.

Thanks,

Hello,

Following is the current sendmail.mc file. I modified sendmail.mc and then rebuild sendmail.cf base on it. The last time I did modify sendmail.mc was about 6 months ago.

Comment out this line

dnlINPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, T=S:5m;R:5m;E:5m')dnl

then restart Sendmail..

If sendmail starts.. then you need to recompile sendmail with milter turned on.

Hope this helps..
