Hi Brent, Thanks for that, I am still digesting it. tools2# uname -a FreeBSD tools2 8.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p2 #
So I put a 0 in the first two octets of the ip address below, but that IP address is A. I am not sure what that means. I was horsing around and tried to start sendmail On X then I tried to send an email from A. I have no idea what all that means. Here is netstat results: netstat: kvm not available: /dev/mem: No such file or directory tcp4 0 0 tools2.smtp 0.0.81.10.33679 SYN_RCVD tcp4 0 0 tools2.smtp *.* LISTEN What is non $mail_owner privileges or how to determine that? tools2# postconf -d | grep mail_version mail_version = 2.7.0 milter_macro_v = $mail_name $mail_version I am still not sure about the non mail owner issue yet, but I would think because this has run in the past that it wouldn't have changed. And how do I run smtp as a non mail user when I am root? Hopfully we are getting somewhere.....

It should be something along the line of; tcp4 0 0 *.smtp *.* LISTEN Is the postfix machine running freebsd? Found this on postfix.org http://www.postfix.org/smtpd.8.html "As of Postfix version 2.3, the SMTP server refuses to receive mail from the network when it runs with non $mail_owner privileges" $mail_owner = http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#mail_owner _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
