[plug] Problems with Sendmail

[J. Richard Mortimer]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the suggestion, however I still get the same error message in the
log:

Jan  7 12:06:36 neophytte sendmail[1942]: j0746awf001942: from=root,
size=1684, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200501070406.j0746awf001942 at neophytte.mine.nu>, relay=root at localhost
Jan  7 12:06:36 neophytte sendmail[1942]: j0746awf001942: to=mortimer,
ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay,
pri=30014, relay=neophytte.mine.nu. [202.72.154.34], dsn=4.0.0,
stat=Deferred: Connection refused by neophytte.mine.nu.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Richard

Hi,

You probably want to pay attention to the part of the file that says:

dnl This changes sendmail to only listen on the loopback device
127.0.0.1
dnl and not on any other network devices. Comment this out if you want
dnl to accept email over the network.
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')


This stops connections to sendmail from anything other than the loopback
device.  Use dnl (stands for delete until new line) to comment it out,
and rebuild.
