Hi all,
Problem in sendmail.For the past two days im working on it.I have reviewed many forums helps,suggestions.
The problem is . I need to send an email from command line as mail -v
abv@gmail.com
I have installed sendmail and sendmail-cf.
I have done the basic configuration
in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc ( commented the line DAEMON_OPTIONS )
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
service sendmail restart
Then i tried mail -v
abv@gmail.com
yes i got email.
nmap localhost
25 smtp port
telnet localhost 25
yes i got connected
THE PROBLEM is :
I need to configure sendmail port as 2025 instead of 25
First I configured port as 2025 in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
DAEMON_OPTIONS port=2025 (instead of smtp)
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
service sendmail restart
I tried to sendmail
Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...
abv@gmail.com... Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
I tried one more change adding up the following line in sendmail.mc
define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 2025')
define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 2025')
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
service sendmail restart
The same error ( connection refused )
The third option I tried in the sendmail.cf
Mrelay, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuXa8, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=MasqSMTP, E=\r\n, L=2040,
T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP,
A=TCP $h 2025
In the last line $h was there.I added 2025 port number
After restarting sendmail I got the same error. Deffered connection error.
I read in a forum to change the smtp 25 to 2025 in /etc/services
After that i did not get the connection refused error.

I tried to check the 2025 port number is listening. nmap localhost
PORT STATE SERVICE
111/tcp open rpcbind
2025/tcp open ellpack
Now mail is not getting delivered. It is /var/spool/mqueue
The mails are in queue.
Kindly suggest me what else I need to do
even in /etc/mail/access i have entered my localhost ,127.0.0.0,IP address, as RELAY
Is it possible to change the default port number to customized port number. The reason I wish to change the port number is. I need to run James mail server in the same machine which requires 25 port.
