Hello, new and already have a question
 

Hi All,
I'm new to Linux and I'm trying to setup sendmail so that I can use it to send and receive emails from a remote client.

I'm editing the sendmail.mc file and I need to include the subnet of this Linux box (actually a virtual machine) in the access database, used by sendmail, in order to ensure that it will accept connections from outside the localhost. How do I find out the subnet address of this virtual machine? Is there a Linux command that will give me this information?

Thanks!
Jill

"ifconfig -a" will tell you, but I don't think you need to. Normally in sendmail you just comment out the line that says only listen on localhost.

Please use useful thread titles in future, thanks.

Some distros might make you use sudo command then /sbin/ifconfig to tell you the IP info.
