sendmail --help


Okay, I've got sendmail running, and I can receive email for the users, but I cant get it to send mail out to any other email, local or otherwise. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with this relayto the 127.0.0.1 (below), but I don't know how to tell it to send it out to other computers and the web. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dec 19 15:55:31 olympus sm-msp-queue[14594]: jBIKREaG013922: to=<enigman1@yahoo.com>, ctladdr=<amgine@olympus.athanatoi.net> (1000/100), delay=1+02:28:16, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=5880253, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

also, when I restarted the service, i got this:

Dec 19 15:55:48 olympus sm-mta[14598]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.0.11) failed: 2
Dec 19 15:55:48 olympus sm-mta[14599]: starting daemon (8.12.10): SMTP+queueing@00:25:00
Dec 19 15:55:48 olympus sm-msp-queue[14602]: starting daemon (8.12.10): queueing@00:25:00


both of these lines were in /var/log/maillog.

In my sendmail.conf file, I have the line (192.168.0.11 is the servers network address):

# SMTP daemon options
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=192.168.0.11, Name=MTA
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=534, Name=MSA, M=E

Do you have the MAILER(local)/local-host-names enabled?
If so, does it contain "localhost"?
Also, do you have FEATURE(access_db)/access enabled?
If so, does it contain "127.0.0.1"?

Make sure to make a hash map of the access file if you change it.

Okay...I don't want to make this too hard on anyone, but I'm not sure about those two things, nor do I know where to check them. Since I restarted the service, I can't recieve email anymore. I reran netconfig, but just renentered the same info. I'm getting myself so lost in all this.
