sendmail configuration over a cable modem
I have a CentOS system running. I want to get mail off it to my yahoo account.
I did a test mailx command and it goes out of the queue but never gets to my yahoo mail. I am using a cable modem. I can go out to the Internet so I know I have a valid connection. I am guessing I need to set something up so the cable company will relay my mail for me. I know i can pull pop mail down and sen it using my account. Do I need to configure something in the sendmail.cf file to do this? I just went into my email and say this ...patial msg included... (reason: 553 5.7.1 [BL21] Connections will not be accepted from 98.249.136.1 9, because the ip is in Spamhaus's list; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/550-bl2 3.html) |
so i tried to send to another account and get this:
Return-Path: <me@localhost.localdomain> Received: from localhost.localdomain (system1 [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.localdomain (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id o1K0qLxu004896 for <me@gmail.com>; Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:52:21 -0500 Received: (from me@localhost) by localhost.localdomain (8.13.8/8.13.8/Submit) id o1K0qL0e004895 for me@gmail.com; Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:52:21 -0500 Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:52:21 -0500 From: System Admin <me@localhost.localdomain> Message-Id: <201002200052.o1K0qL0e004895@localhost.localdomain> To: me@gmail.com Subject: test2 test --o1K0qMxu004898.1266627142/localhost.localdomain-- |
ok i guess no one has tried this before.
i tried several configuration changes but still the mail goes off the server into never never land or gets bounced back. |
maybe i need to open a new topic b ut i just saw this in my log file. ... also all the mail i sent is in my /var/spool/mqueue dir
sendmail[7069]: o21CduY7007069: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere I thought it would save to deadletter under root? edit: Ok so i just realized the error in this. Its trying to send to root so its a circular reference. I changed postmaster to be another id for now. |
Well I am still not able to get the info I need. I tried several Google searches and the links lead me to dead ends so i still dont know what I am missing with this sendmail stuff going out from my server to a yahoo account.
I really dont want to set up a full blown smtp mail server to do this. Most document i find are telling me how to set up a mail server. |
mail -v me@yahoo.com
Subject: test mail test mail . Cc: me@yahoo.com... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay... me@yahoo.com... Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] |
I tried 2 different domains. Mind you i edited them so the bots dont spam me. One is to my private domain and one is to my yahoo account.

solve dit with help from another forum... Here is the answer if anyone wants to know
Make an entry in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, such as: define(`SMART_HOST',`your.ISPs.mail.server') might help? That way, your ISP will relay the mail for you (especially useful if they don't allow the use of port 25). Be sure to do a: make -C /etc/mail service sendmail restart |
Well i get tis email bounced back to my account. I found out yahoo is blocking my isp ip so i sent to my personal account and get a bounce back msg.
This i understand because its trying to bounce the mail back to my server root@localhost.localdomain and thats not valid. But what I dont understand is why is it not just accepting the mail and not trying to send it back. The original message was received at Wed, 3 Mar 2010 04:02:03 -0500 from centos [127.0.0.1] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- me@mydomain.com (reason: 550 5.1.0 Sender Refused - Address <root@localhost.localdomain>; - Sending Domain Name Invalid or Non-Existent A or MX Record) (expanded from: <root@localhost.localdomain>;) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to mx01.register.com.: >>> MAIL From:<root@localhost.localdomain>; SIZE=9817 <<< 550 5.1.0 Sender Refused - Address <root@localhost.localdomain>; - Sending Domain Name Invalid or Non-Existent A or MX Record 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable May be I need to "spoof" my system to look like its coming from my domain? Not sure how or if thats the right thing to do. All i want to do is get logwatch off my system so I dont have to login to review it. |
I got this resolved in case any need this info
