I did edit the file /etc/mail/freebsd.mc and changed the line containing
the SMART_HOST to
define(`SMART_HOST', `me.point.ne.jp')
and
# cd /etc/mail/
# make stop
# make install
# make start
Everything went well...
I now have a r40e.point.ne.jp.mc and the all..
But, when I tried to send an Email to my yahoo.com account to test if it
is working...
Here is what came back to my InBox: The original message was received at Wed, 12 Jan 2005 12:34:41 GMT from localhost [127.0.0.1]
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (reason: 554 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Relay access denied)
----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to vc.point.ne.jp.:DATA<<< 554 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Relay access denied 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable <<< 554 Error: no valid recipients
It seems that I was not allowed to relay my email so I tried the archives and then I tried reading the README file at /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README and found something about:
Providing SMTP AUTH Data when sendmail acts as Client -----------------------------------------------------
I read a little and did what I understood: 1) created a /etc/mail/authinfo file with the following AuthInfo:point.ne.jp "U:myusername" "I:myusername" "P:password" AuthInfo:me.point.ne.jp "U:myusername" "I:myusername" "P:password"
Did a # cd /etc/mail/ # make stop # make install # make start No problems but still I can not send Emails using sendmail...
Any hints...Or am I going the wrong direction here and probably messed my configuration badly now...?
Try editing the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and search for a line that starts with LogLevel. By default, IIRC, it's set to 9. Change this to 25, and from /etc/mail type make restart. (Don't make/make install as you're loglevel will be reset.
Try sending an email. As soon as you're client is done, go to the server and type:
# tail -n 50 /var/log/maillog
You should see some information regarding the authentication and if there were any errors or not.
