[sork] Problem with sork and smrsh

[Craig Richardson]

Hi There,

I have recently installed vacation 2.0, IMP3.1 and Horde 2.1 on a production
machine after having successfully tested this setup on a test machine.

The test machine worked great, no problems, everything worked first time.

The production machine however is a different matter.

If you set the vacation .forward with the sork module you get this response
in the mailer logs.

/home/tester/.forward: line 1: "|/usr/bin/vacation tester"... Address
<tester@maccs.mq.edu.au> is unsafe for mailing to programs

However I do have the appropriate sym link set in my /etc/smrsh directory
because when I set the vacation .forward with the vacation program (ie not
with sork) it works fine.

[tester@currawong2 tester]$ diff .forward.vacation .forward.sork
1c1
< \tester, "|/usr/bin/vacation tester"
---
> \tester, "|/usr/bin/vacation tester"
\ No newline at end of file

As you can see both sork and vacation appear to generate the exact same
.forward file, however I have noticed sork generates more .vacation.* files.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?  I'm especially
confused by this because vacation messages are working when you don¹t use
sork to set them?

- here are the configs for both test and production machines
Red Hat 7.3
apache 1.3.23-14
php 4.1.2-7.3.4
vacation-1.2.6-1 (red hat)
Horde 2.1
IMP 3.1
Vacation 2.0 (sork)

And here is the full output from the server logs for each mail transaction.

- Successfull vacation message (.forward set manually with "vacation").
