By default, sendmail will only listen to localhost. Did you change the sendmail.mc and/or sendmail.cf file(s)? If not, edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and change this line: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') to: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') Then regenerate the sendmail.cf file: m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf cp sendmail.cf /etc/sendmail.cf ## make a backup of this latter file if you are paranoid Then restart sendmail /sbin/service sendmail restart Forrest _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
