Mail not working

[Dimitri Yioulos]

Greetz to all.

I've never been able to get a mail server working on my FreeBSD installation.  While I
recently upgraded to 8.0-RELEASE, it hasn't worked since my initisl 7.0-RELEASE
installation.  This is not a major server, so I haven't fussed with it up to now.  But,
I would like to finally fix it.

I've tried various combinations of postfix and sendmail, but all have failed.  It
doesn't matter to me whether I run postfix or sendmail, though I have far more
experience with sendmail.  I believe that both postfix and sendmail are currently
installed, with postfix being the mail server.  I want to forward mail to my sendmail
MTA for distribution, which I'm doing successfully with many other *nix boxes.

Here's what I currently see in /var/log/messages whenever I try to send a message from
the FBSD box:

Nov 28 04:15:30 marshfield kernel: pid 11721 (mailwrapper), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)

and in /var/log/maillog:

Nov 26 21:35:29 marshfield postfix/master[946]: daemon started -- version 2.7-20091008,
configuration /usr/local/etc/postfix

Here's at least a snippet from main.cf:

mydomain = ourdomain.com
readme_directory = no
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $mydomain
#relayhost = [mail1.$mydomain]
relayhost = 192.168.1.2
data_directory = /var/db/postfix
transport_maps = /usr/local/etc/postfix/transportsmtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_my
networks

and mailer.conf:

sendmail        /usr/sbin/sendmail
send-mail       /usr/sbin/sendmail
mailq   /var/spool/mqueue
newaliases      /usr/bin/newaliases

I've googled, etc., but haven't come up with a solution.  Your help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.
