Could not retrieve sendmail macro "auth_type"!.
I'm running spamassassin on several debian systems using sendmail and using
spamass-milter.
I'm seeing this error in my mail logs on one I updated yesterday:
Sep 1 08:21:01 debian spamass-milter[536]: Could not retrieve sendmail
macro "auth_type"!. Please add it to confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT for better
spamassassin results
I definitely have this macro in my sendmail.mc file:
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT',`r, v, Z, {auth_type}, {greylist},
{auth_ssf}')dnl
Furthermore on 2 other nearly identical systems I don't have this warning
message. I only started seeing this warning message when I ran updates
yesterday. I only get it on inbound mail.
The main packages are all the same version from one system to the other:
dpkg -l | g 'sendmail|spamass|milter'
ii libmilter1.0.1:amd64 8.15.2-11
amd64 Sendmail Mail Filter API (Milter)
ii sa-compile 3.4.1-8 all
Tools for compiling SpamAssassin rules into C
ii sendmail 8.15.2-11 all
powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent (metapackage)
ii sendmail-base 8.15.2-11 all
powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent (arch
independent files)
ii sendmail-bin 8.15.2-11
amd64 powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent
ii sendmail-cf 8.15.2-11 all
powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent (config
macros)
ii spamass-milter 0.4.0-1+b1
amd64 milter for filtering mail through spamassassin
ii spamassassin 3.4.1-8 all
Perl-based spam filter using text analysis
ii spamc 3.4.1-8
amd64 Client for SpamAssassin spam filtering daemon
The sendmail.mc is also the same (with differences being things like
hostnames).
The only difference I know of is one system was updated via apt yesterday,
other a couple months old.
Anyone else seeing this? What other change might have caused this?

I would doublecheck that the macro appears in sendmail.cf. Maybe the
apt-get update ignores your sendmail.mc and just replaces the
sendmail.cf directly?
