/usr/lib/sendmail symlink missing

[Youjiro Okamoto]

Hello,

I have an CentOS 6 x86_64 server, with plesk12.0.18 MU#19.
I cannot send emails from some CGI program.
CGI program using /usr/lib/sendmail command.

# ll /usr/lib/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2月 10 11:32 2016 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail
# ll /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2月 10 14:06 2016 /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail -> /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix
# ll /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix: No such file or directory

# alternatives --display mta
mta - status is manual.
link currently points to /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/postfix-sendmail-wrapper
/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix - priority 30

slave mta-sendmailman: /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.postfix.1.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/postfix-sendmail-wrapper.

plesk-installer is should be a symlink of mta-sendmail to plesk-installer is should be a symlink of mta-sendmail to wrapper?

It should be like:

# ll /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Oct 5 14:33 /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix -> ../sbin/sendmail.postfix

# ll /etc/alternatives/mta
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Feb 10 04:48 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-sendmail-wrapper

Hello, thanks for your answer.

Since the CGI program is binary provided with the product, it can not be changed from /usr/lib/sendmail.
I use the alternatives command, it was to change the mta-sendmail.

# alternatives --install /usr/sbin/sendmail mta /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/postfix-sendmail-wrapper 90 \
--slave /etc/pam.d/smtp mta-pam /etc/pam.d/smtp.postfix \
--slave /usr/bin/mailq mta-mailq /usr/bin/mailq.postfix \
--slave /usr/bin/newaliases mta-newaliases /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix \
--slave /usr/bin/rmail mta-rmail /usr/bin/rmail.postfix \
--slave /usr/lib/sendmail mta-sendmail /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/postfix-sendmail-wrapper \
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.1.gz mta-mailqman /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.postfix.1.gz \
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.1.gz mta-newaliasesman /usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.postfix.1.gz \
--slave /usr/share/man/man5/aliases.5.gz mta-aliasesman /usr/share/man/man5/aliases.postfix.5.gz \
--slave /usr/share/man/man8/sendmail.8.gz mta-sendmailman /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.postfix.1.gz

Change the mta-sendmail with the following option:
--slave /usr/lib/sendmail mta-sendmail /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/postfix-sendmail-wrapper

However, If I run the version up to MU#74, I got back setting.
I hope willing and able to fix the plesk-installer.
