[Esa-l] Installing the Sanitizer on Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 .

Hello!

I'm trying to install the sanitizer on a Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 system.

I've got version 1.119 of the sanitizer.

[root at mail mail]# procmail -v
procmail v3.15 2000/08/25

[root at mail mail]# perl -v

This is perl, version 5.004_04 built for i386-linux

When I try and run the sanitizer I get some interesting messages, and mail 
never gets delivered.  Not bounced, not delivered.  Procmail works just 
fine by itself.  I'm also thinking that maybe Perl needs to be upgraded. 
I've attached the VERBOSE logfile for anyone who wants to comment on what's 
wrong.  What jumps out at me are :

procmail: Skipped 
"..........................................................................
...............*"
procmail: Skipped "{"
procmail: Assigning "LOG=Trapped excessively long header in "Test #4 ...." 
from "Michael H. Martel" <martelm at quark.vsc.edu> to martelm 
msgid=<Pine.A41.4.30.0010300542560.22662-100000 at quark.vsc.edu>
"

and

      ) | $SENDMAIL -U $SECURITY_NOTIFY"
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent 
directories
job-working-directory: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot 
access parent directories
job-working-directory: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot 
access parent directories
procmail: Assigning 
"PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/martelm/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bi
n:/usr/bin/X11"


It looks like a two fold problem. First, possibly a Perl/Procmail issue, 
and the second is a sendmail issue ? Sendmail is configured to use 
something called /usr/sbin/sensible-mda for mail delivery.  On all my other 
boxes, I use procmail as the LDA.  I hesitate to change it, since Debian 
isn't my specialty.

Comments ?

Thanks!


Michael
