Thanks ygrex, I can't seem to get posfix to work properly, i think it requires some dependencies from mysql, so I am trying to get fetchmail to work with sendmail, becuase I have got this to work in the past before. What I don't get is that I have installed both sendmail and sendmail-cf, I built a sendmail.c file with different mc files (each times I tried differently), but the 25 port is keep refusing me. Here are some of my trials:
Code:
root:# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
vector:/~
root:# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
vector:/~
root:# killall sendmail
vector:/~
root:# sendmail
Recipient names must be specified
vector:/~
root:# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
root:# cd /etc/mail
vector://etc/mail
root:# ls
Makefile aliases.db local-host-names sendmail.cf.old trusted-users
access domaintable mailertable sendmail.mc virtusertable
access.db domaintable.db mailertable.db statistics virtusertable.db
aliases helpfile sendmail.cf submit.cf
I am pretty sure that sendmail is installed correctly, fetchmail seems to be able to search for the emails correctly, but I am only left with the barrier to connect to port 25 at localhost just to move the remote emails to the local server.
