we expected that, when the ldap server fails, sendmail would return a
4xx TEMPFAIL at the SMTP dialog, but unfortunately it returns "User
Unknown" !

So, I use "tempfail" in the FEATURE ldap_routing :
FEATURE(`ldap_routing',null,`ldap -1 -T<TMPF> -v mailRoutingAddress -k
(&(|(objectClass=uPerson)(objectClass=uService)(objectClass=uEtuPerson))(|(mailLocalAddress=%0)
(mail=%0)))',`bounce',,`tempfail')

but it seems that the tempfail has no effect :

Mar 23 10:56:02 smtp03 sm-mta[21846]: o2N9qrZ0021846: SYSERR(root):
ldap_init/ldap_bind failed to pcpdm.univ-lille1.fr in map ldapmra:

Mar 23 10:56:02 smtp03 sm-mta[21846]: o2N9qrZ0021846:
<vadid-...@univ-lille1.fr>... User unknown

Could you help me ?

Thanks in advance

1) Could you post *all* log entries generated by the message? [o2N9qrZ0021846]
2) Do you use LDAP to fill classes in sendmail.cf?

3) Could you post debug output produced by the command below?

I think you have "miss placed" tempfail argument
It should be *SIXTH* not *FIFTH* argument.

P.S.
Thank you for debug "hint" in another part of the thread.
I has shown me "the light" ;-)

To be very precise: Instead of using
FEATURE(`ldap_routing',null,`ldap ...',`bounce',,`tempfail')
I suggested using
FEATURE(`ldap_routing',null,`ldap ...',`bounce',`',`',`tempfail')

<quote src="cf/README" version="sendmail-8.14.3">
FEATURE(`ldap_routing', <mailHost>, <mailRoutingAddress>, <bounce>,
<detail>, <nodomain>, <tempfail>)
</quote>

By my count, it is the sixth argument. The feature name is the first.

In my count "feature name" was argument zero.
