Then it might be a problem with your /etc/hosts file, i.e. localhost doesn't exist in it or points to a wrong IP address. What's in /etc/hosts?
Hi falko, etc/hosts is like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost debian1 192.168.21.233 debian1.mydomain.com debian1 192.168.21.234 virtual-ip1.mydomain.com virtual-ip1 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Hi Falko, I am trying to install sendmail on another newly installed server following your perfect setup at http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/sendmail_smtp_auth_tls/index.php. When i now try to test if its working and got this result: debian:~# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. 220 server12.mydomain.com ESMTP Exim 4.50 Mon, 03 Apr 2006 20:11:29 +0100 ehlo localhost 250-server12.mydomain.com Hello localhost [127.0.0.1] 250-SIZE 52428800 250-PIPELINING 250 HELP Thanks.
Hi Falko, The question is when as per your perfect setup you tested with telnet, you got many outputs like 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES PIPELINING 8BITTIME DSN ETRN AUTH LOGIN PLAIN STARTTLS DELIVERY HELP whereas my own output on has 250-SIZE 52428800 250-PIPELINING 250 HELP and am wondering why Thank you
Hi Falko, Output as follows: server1:~# /usr/sbin/sendmail -d0.1 -bv root Version 8.13.6 Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETUNIX NEWDB PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF STARTTLS USERDB XDEBUG ============ SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf) ============ (short domain name) $w = server1x (canonical domain name) $j = server1.mydomain.com (subdomain name) $m = mydomain.com (node name) $k = server1.mydomain.com ======================================================== root... deliverable: mailer local, user root Many Thanks.
