Removing dependance on ldapmapper

[Mase]

Hi guys, we are running a RHEL 4 box with Scalix 11.2 and we've been hit by the ldapmapper segfault issue. It seems the fix is in 11.3 already but unfortunately we are in the middle of a project and can't afford to spend the time going through a testing cycle to roll out the update.

Since the server is working on except for the ldapmapper dying, and it seems the default sendmail install is configured with openldap support I was hoping that i could just ask sendmail to use openldap directly.

I understand that this would lock us into the scalix openldap server for the time being but thats ok.

So far i have tried adding the following to sendmail.mc

define(confLDAP_DEFAULT_SPEC,`o=Scalix')dnl
FEATURE(`ldap_routing') dnl

then
make -C /etc/mail

and restarted sendmail however i now get the following message in the mailq

m2J0JWbI005361 1592 Wed Mar 19 10:49 MAILER-DAEMON
(ldapsx map: lookup (blah.blah@test.amh.adelaide.edu.au): def)
blah.blah@test.amh.adelaide.edu.au


where all the emails seem to be deferred.

Is there some documentation on how to get around the using ldapmapper ?

thanks in advance

Hi Mace

You have probably alrady spent more time on trying to modify Scalix that you may have doing an upgrade which takes about 20 minutes.

IMHO
