The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed (Niels Hansa)]

Hi!

Finally I have successfully compiled sympa-2.7.2.1, which is not sympas 
fault, but due to missing libs, cpp, gcc and perl modules on the target 
machine ;-)

It took me a while to figure out the trick with /etc/smrsh/ and sendmail 
sending data to progs. Thats how I got rid of the queue... Service 
unavailable error...

But now every mail I send, which has to be handled by queue, is deferred... 
Now what am I doing wrong here?  I dont get it! I have checked the 
/etc/sendmail.cf ... the only thing I changed here was to add a 
smarthost... but the alias sympa is interpreted correctly by sendmail!... i 
dont get it... Is it sendmail-8.9.3-10, which causes this problem? ... is 
it because i havnt set up the database, yet? Thats why I couldn't run 
bounced.pl...

please help me out!
