There is a problem when trying to swap out sendmail for Exim on
Redhat 9 - the init.d/sendmail script controls a process sm-client
which did not exist until recently. Google does not return
meaningful results for the problem.
As a result of this you will get the following message if you
install Exim using the "alternatives" utility or use the methods that
worked on earlier versions of Redhat.
> # service sendmail start
Starting sendmail: [ OK ]
Starting sm-client: exim abandoned: unknown, malformed, or incomplete option -L
[FAILED]
Can someone confirm a tried and true fix for this please - I assume I
can swap in an earlier init.d script but wanted to check what others
had done. Is there a standard init.d script for Exim? I could not find
one.
Thanks,
Steven
