[plug] Problems with Sendmail

[J. Richard Mortimer]

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the suggestion; the first 3 entries (localhost,
localhost.localdomain and 127.0.0.1) were already listed in the access file,
I have added the 192.168.0 entry, as well as neophyte.mine.nu and
202.72.154.34, all with RELAY as their command.

Rebuilt the databases with "make" and used 'service sendmail restart' to
restart, but still get:

Jan  7 12:44:31 neophytte sendmail[2073]: j074iVF8002073: from=root,
size=1684, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200501070444.j074iVF8002073 at neophytte.mine.nu>, relay=root at localhost
Jan  7 12:44:32 neophytte sendmail[2073]: j074iVF8002073: to=mortimer,
ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay,
pri=30014, relay=neophytte.mine.nu. [202.72.154.34], dsn=4.0.0,
stat=Deferred: Connection refused by neophytte.mine.nu.

In the logfile.

Thanks

Richard

You'll also want to make sure your local ip's are listed in /etc/mail/access
Eg for a local 192.168.0.x network...

localhost.localdomain           RELAY
localhost                       RELAY
127.0.0.1                       RELAY
192.168.0                       RELAY

Don't forget to change to the /etc/mail directory and run 'make' to redo the
database files.

Oh, and a 'service sendmail restart' to make sure sendmail is using the new
settings.

CraigF.
