Sendmail... Arghhh!!
Guys, I'm trying to start (meanwhile use) sendmail, but I can't help but be unsuccesful..Since sendmail starts everytime you start redhat.It should be working..
so I configured(took a look, let's say) the sendmail.cf, users ok..(btw I used linuxconf and it asked me if I wanted to install POP3 service at the beginning of user accounts managment, said yes, configured the users.right?) But I can't receive the mails via POP3 nor can't send via SMTP. I telnet the server but no response at all.Where am I wrong, I don't understand. Any ideas what I should do or configure Thanks in advance.. PS: Distro, RH 7.1 :smash: |

Ok, now I'm confused..
I've always been told that I had to comment out (#) the lines in sendmail.cf or sendmail.mc as followed.. dnl O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA well linuxjornal.com guide says I should configure those lines as the following which makes no sense at all.. # SMTP daemon options O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA change to O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=192.168.100.134, Name=MTA PS: 192.168.100.134 is the mail server address.. Well any ideas?? :confused: |
i have that line commented out as rcommended, and use the FEATURE('access_db') option.
then you need to add the local domain name on each machine (using 'domainname') and add that name to the /etc/mail/access file, and restart everything. then sendmail should accept any mail from wherever as long as it contains that domain name somewhere in the headers. look at the output of /var/log/maillog to see what's sticking. |
