I found the solution, there is a submit.cf for sendmail being used when
sendmails gets invoked like this:

sendmail -v me_at_somewhere </dev/null

These mails get submitted to 127.0.0.1:587! /var/log/mail.log shows this.
But with vserver running all mails have to be submitted to our our official
ip-address. So edit your /etc/mail/submit.mc

dnl Don't send mail to 127.0.0.1 on vserver, use official ip-address
instead:
dnl FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]', `MSA')dnl
FEATURE(`msp', `[10.95.81.71]', `MSA')dnl

Run "make" after that to get your submit.cf generated and all mails get
directed to 10.95.81.71. Another two days of work... AND: we are getting
more and more clever again.

Greetings,
Richard

Betreff: several sendmail running, how to deliver mail local?

I installed sendmail on a debian-linux-server running "vserver" several
times,
on each vserver one sendmail. The idea is that the vserver mail2 gets mail
from outside and delivers it to another vserver where the local users are.

Because vservers are installed, I have to avoid 127.0.0.1, all mails must
pass through my official internal mailaddresses 10.95.81.xxx

My sendmail.mc looks like this:

==========================================0
LOCAL_CONFIG

dnl # vserver: do not listen to 127.0.0.1, but only to a right IP
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=10.95.81.71, Name=MTA')dnl

dnl # vserver: do not listen to Port 587 (Look for "sendmail 587")
dnl # on google if you are interested
FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnl

FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
FEATURE(`access_db')dnl

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',
`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock, F=T,
T=S:1m;R:1m')

dnl # our smarthost
FEATURE(`nullclient', smtp.zdf)dnl

LOCAL_CONFIG
==========================================

When I run these commands...

mail2:/etc/mail# cat /etc/group | mail -s "test" lippmann_at_zirndorf.de
mail2:/etc/mail# sendmail -v lippmann_at_zirndorf.de </dev/null
lippmann_at_zirndorf.de... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] port 587 via relay...
lippmann_at_zirndorf.de... Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

... always the same things happen in /var/log/mail.log:

Mar 18 15:40:01 mail2 sm-msp-queue[15646]: i2IFULeQ015620:
  to=lippmann_at_zirndorf.de, ctladdr=root (0/0),
  delay=00:09:40, xdelay=00:00:00,
  mailer=relay, pri=120040,
  relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1],
  dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

There should be a way to get local mails delivered to smarthost. This
127.0.0.1 seems to be hardcoded somewhere. What can I do?

Help appreciated, thanks!

Greetings,
Richard
