Is there some change in the sendmail-version delivered with RedHat 8 (or the delivered sendmail-config) that does NOT allow to send mail from local server via standard MUA/MTA-sendonly (not MTA-receive) config anymore???
In earlier versions it was possible to send email without starting the sendmail daemon. I don't want to have a running copy of the sendmail daemon on each of my linux machines, even if it's only listening on the loopback interface. So, my question is: Did the redhat people change something which requires starting the server from 7.x to 8.0 (and if yes: what) or didn't they?

You said you haven't changed the standard cf file so I assume not. You shouldn't change the cf file anyway. Rather, in /etc/mail look for the sendmail.mc file. There is a line that must be commented out for sendmail to listen on an external port: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl Comment that line out with dnl like so: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl and restart sendmail. As far as having sendmail daemon on each box, just keep in mind that sendmail is used to send root system email as well. It's not really hurting much for it to run on those boxes and just listen on the default 127.0.0.1. <<JAV>> On Wed, 2003-03-12 at 13:34, Daniel Paul wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I have a serious problem with RedHat 8.0 mail configuration. > I cannot send mail locally nor send mail to our real mail server. > > I have not changed the standard sendmail.cf file delivered with > Red Hat install.
