Hi,
Just upgraded from RH6.2+ to RH7.1. Upgrade seems to have gone fine. Got
one big problem, though.
I'm new to all this xinetd functionality. I'd love to read up on it, and
I will. But currently I just *need* to get this working.
I run fetchmail from a crontab to get mail from ipop3d on another box in
my home network.
Since the upgrade, fetchmail fails to deliver the mail and it's lost in
cyberspace. (Hence the urgency to get this working again.)
This is an excerpt from my maillog:
Apr 19 18:42:04 valhall fetchmail[11075]: reading message 1 of 1 (4959
octets)
Apr 19 18:42:04 valhall sendmail[11081]: f3JGg4311081: tcpwrappers
(localhost, 127.0.0.1) rejection
Apr 19 18:42:04 valhall fetchmail[11075]: flushed
Apr 19 18:42:04 valhall sendmail[11081]: NOQUEUE: localhost [127.0.0.1]
did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
Apr 19 18:42:04 valhall sendmail[11082]: f3JGg4c11082: from=root,
size=220, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
relay=root@localhost
Apr 19 18:42:04 valhall sendmail[11082]: f3JGg4c11082: to=root,
ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local,
pri=30220, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
In desperation I set my /etc/hosts.allow to:
ALL:10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
ALL:127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
portmap: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
mountd: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
nfs: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
in.ftpd: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
ipop3d: 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
but it doesn't help.
Could someone give me a crash course of how fetchmail, sendmail and
other involved software interact with the tcpwrappers mechanisms under
RH7.1 ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Gustav
P.S. Yes, I can read your answer. I have created a temporary work around
by letting Netscape get the mail directly from the pop3 server, instead
of getting it to the local pop3 server first.
