[plug] Problems with Sendmail

Hi James,

Erm, yes, I don't want it to use the domain name, simply deliver locally.

This is the address of the firewall, the webserver sits behind this. Once
again, this is not an incoming mail server, I just want to be able to send
email locally, so from "root" to "apache" and back again. I can't see any
reference to the domain within the configuration files, and am not too sure
where it's getting the reference from. Any pointers to the correct direction
are appreciated.

Richard

So, functionally, the default domain is neophytte.mine.nu but sendmail
is not configured to deliver that domain's e-mail locally? Surely you
must fix that regardless of the 'connection refused' problem. Also: when
I resolve 'neophytte.mine.nu', I get the IPv4 address 202.72.154.34. Is
this the address of your computer or of a firewall (also: does your copy
of RHL have a packet filter of which you are current unaware)?
