Hmm, I guess it's about time I posted my instructions for how to
integrate sendmail into CSuite (see below)...

I've also heard that there is a problem with one of the ESMTP
extensions in the version of Zmailer supplied with CSuite. I believe
it was the "CHUNKING" support that was problematic.
} Our inclusion of zmailer is linked to some of the mailing list

} quite deep into CSuite, and we're in the process of re-doing this area.
Actually, it doesn't go that deep, and there are surprisingly few
changes required.

} The IP (information provider) creation routines... are designed to create

} one public - for communications with all interested parties.)
Although, IP registration form ask for the name of a public list,
there is in fact no code to create the list. When I asked about this,
I was told that it was because you wanted to train people before
giving them mailing lists, so I simply removed it from the form.

} As I mentioned, we're in the early stages of reviewing these systems.
Personally, I've never cared for Majordomo for a number of
reasons. Has any thought been given to using Listproc, or the MailMan
MLM that was mentioned here previously?
}-- End of excerpt from David Potter
Okay, here's how to get CSuite to work with sendmail:
1) Remove zmailer from the CSuite start up script.
2) cd $CS_ROOT/etc/mail/bin
mv newaliases newaliases.orig
mv sendmail sendmail.orig
ln -s /usr/lib/sendmail newaliases # or, wherever sendmail is
ln -s /usr/lib/sendmail sendmail
3) edit $CS_ROOT/etc/conf/vars
- change MAIL_ALIASES to point to your alias file
- I created a seperate alias file for CSuite to use
4) copy the CSuite aliases from $CS_ROOT/var/mail/db/aliases to the
alias file mentioned in 3) and resolve conflicts
5) if you used a seperate alias file then adjust your sendmail.cf
- in my sendmail.mc file, I used:
define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/mail/aliases,/etc/mail/cs-aliases')dnl
- in my sendmail.cf file, this is:
O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases,/etc/mail/cs-aliases
6) if you used a seperate alias file in step 3) then you need to apply
this patch to $CS_ROOT/lib/ok-custom:

[ -f $LISTSERVDIR/$it ] ||
grep -i "^$it:" /etc/passwd >/dev/null ||
grep -i "^$it:" $MAIL_ALIASES >/dev/null ||
+ grep -i "^$it:" /etc/mail/aliases >/dev/null ||
grep -h -i "^$it:" $CS_PRIVATE/custom/* | grep -v -i "^$it:$2" >/dev/null
then
7) edit $CS_ROOT/lib/mkcustom and comment out the references to zmailer
The above stuff gets you basic functional integration of
sendmail. Finally, here's a patch for $CS_ROOT/admin-bin/mkmdml,
which handles the mailing list stuff that David Potter is talking
about (it also deletes some stuff that is specific to CCN):
8) apply this patch to $CS_ROOT/admin-bin/mkmdml:
