gentoo 下sendmail的配置

1.首先就是上面我说过的了，sendmail 和ssmtp冲突不要两个同时存在！
先emerge -Cp ssmtp 看看有没有安装如果有请emerge -C ssmtp！
2.接下来安装sendmail 和 evolution 
#emerge -p sendmail evolution
3.配置sendmail 
其实也没有什么就是加入自动启动！
rc-update add sendmail default
启动sendmail 
/etc/init.d/sendmail start
4设置evolution 
按照提示一步步来
自己手写个邮件看看能不能用sendmai发送！
不好意思出错了吧：

代码:

     Error while performing operation:
    Could not send message: Broken pipe

其实这个是权限问题！
chmod 777 /var/spool/clientmqueue
再试试看看能不能发送邮件
呵呵能了吧！

sendmail takes care of creating some necessary directories, one of them is
/mail/spool/mqueue. After clean installation it should be:

drwx------  2 root  root  4096 Nov 12 19:49 mqueue

But instead of that, it is:
drwxr-xr-x  2 smmsp root  4096 Nov 12 19:39 mqueue

Sendmail refuses (or can not) write emails and exits with error message:

421 4.3.0 collect: Cannot write ./dfnACK6CaU032612 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=209):
Permission denied

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge -C ssmtp
emerge sendmail telnet-bsd
useradd -m -g users -s /bin/false testuser
/etc/init.d/sendmail start
telnet localhost 25

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

HELO localhost
250 test Hello [localhost], pleased to meet you
MAIL FROM:[e-mail]
250 2.1.0 [e-mail]... Sender ok
RCPT TO:testuser@localhost
250 2.1.5 testuser@localhost... Recipient ok
DATA

Test message.
.
421 4.3.0 collect: Cannot write ./dfnACK6CaU032612 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=209):
Permission denied
Connection closed by foreign host.

Actual Results:  
Message is not delivered, and stays in /var/spool/clientmqueue

Expected Results:  
Message should be delivered to $HOME/.maildir/new

Info from Sendmail Installation And Operation Guide:
...
1.3.7. /var/spool/mqueue
The directory /var/spool/mqueue should be created to hold the mail queue. This
directory should be mode 0700 and owned by root.
...

So the fix is very simple:

chown root /var/spool/mqueue
chmod 700 /var/spool/mqueue

And it really works! :-)

Damned, I screwed the first line and even summary!
It should have been: /var/spool/mqueue   :-(
