I had sendmail working under the "don't blame sendmail" scheme until 10.5.1 Before I saw this O'Reilly update, I acted on Chris' post in the original article which said to follow the instructions in /etc/mail/README. I figured I didn't want to edit sendmail.cf (I had in the past and it looked the same). I gathered from the README that netinfo was the problem so I followed these instructions: * To ensure that sendmail does not read its config file from netinfo, execute the following commands: niutil -create . /locations/sendmail niutil -createprop . /locations/sendmail sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf I sent a test message to root and it worked (after rebooting).

Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.

  By the way, though this simple fix worked for me. I do get these messages in the terminal when I send a message to root (which is automatically forwarded to me):
  
  Msmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
  Mesmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
  Msmtp8: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
  Mdsmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
  Mrelay: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
  
  I don't know what they mean. Again, despite these warnings the mail still gets through.
