Sendmail will not listen on 25

bionicmaximu · 02-01-2006, 07:57 PM

Hi all,

Im running RedHat EL4, 2.6.9-22

I have already commented in sendmail.mc the-
dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

and restarted sendmail.

Yet nestat -an | grep :25 still only gives me-
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Of course, only listening on localhost, I cant receive SMTP.

Iptables are off. Does anybody have a guess as to why I'm not listening on all interfaces.

Thanks!!!

you need to regenerate the file sendmail.cf if you edited sendmail.mc. try:

(if sendmaial.mc is in /etc/mail):

make -C /etc/mail
