I got an invalid user error with the package listed here. I'm a newb here as well, but mazieres's package worked great & I vote for it to replace the old one. Thanks mazieres!

Is this package still being maintained? I had several problems in the existing package, and so have put together an alternate sendmail package that seems to work better. I've posted it at the following URL: http://www.scs.stanford.edu/~dm/noindex/sendmail-8.14.4-2.src.tar.gz I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but if no one else is working on the problem, I would like to submit this package as a replacement. (I'm new to arch so don't know the etiquette for fixing problems in AUR packages.) Also, if anyone else is willing to try out my package, please post on here to let me know if it works.

Doesn't work on a freshly installed x86_64 box: - adduser is missing a -d flag for the home directory in install script - sendmail binary is not installed anywhere - configuration (.mc, .m4, etc.) files are not installed

For me, in addition to the problems mentioned below, the useradd command in pre_install() fails, displaying the usage information.

Same problem here, no sendmail binary in this package. I'm on 2.6.35-ARCH x86_64

I have: obj.Linux.2.6.33-ARCH.x86_64/sendmail/sendmail but the problem is that this file there is not in "sendmail-8.14.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz"

Try this: 1. Download the source tarball. $ wget ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.14.4.tar.gz 2. Unpack it and perform the Build script. $ tar zxf sendmail.8.14.4.tar.gz $ cd sendmail-8.14.4 $ ./Build 3. Try to find the sendmail binary file. $ find ./ -name sendmail -type f I do the commands above in an Ubuntu (x86) system, and the result is $ ./obj.Linux.2.6.31-21-generic.i686/sendmail/sendmail You can try it on your system to find out that the problem is induced by which step, the building process or the packaging process. BTW, the PKGBUILD you listed is correct. regards

In addition, You could try extra/postfix for instead.

Are you using a x86 system? In my case, the system is x86_64. Maybe it is a bug, or maybe there's something wrong with your building environment. Here's the log that I build the sendmail with the command yaourt.
