Hi folks, slamd64-11.0 sendmail The mail server can send mails but unable to receive mails. I don't have its front-end package such Evolution/Thunderbird installed. I ran command line to perform following test. 1) # telnet localhost 25 .... etc. send a mail to yahoo.com. Mail received without problem. 2) Send a webmail from yahoo.com to this server. Failure. warning: Code: <[email protected]>: 220.232.213.178 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 <[email protected]>...

Hi, Go to etc/mail/sendmail.cf and look for # SMTP daemon options O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA change the loopback address to 192.168.0.10 then go to etc/mail/access and add your domain name with the entry RELAY i.e. satimis.com RELAY I hope this helps you
Hi Johan Strange, Tks for your advice. /etc/mail/sendmail.cf Code: ... # SMTP daemon options O DaemonPortOptions=port=smtp, Addr=192.168.0.10, Name=MTA #O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E There is no such line " O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA" Added "O DaemonPortOptions=port=smtp, Addr=192.168.0.10, Name=MTA" Comment out "O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA" # ls /etc/mail | grep access Code: access access.db # cat /etc/mail/access No printout. An empty file # find / -name access Code: /etc/mail/access Where can I download a sample access file? # which getmail Code: /usr/bin/getmail getmail is also running on slamd64-11.0. What is it used for? Tks. B.R. satimis
Are you sure you want to run Sendmail on port 587 instead of 25? What's the output of Code: ls -la /etc/mail ?
Hi falko, I haven't touched sendmail.cf. It is the default config file after installation. I want to run Sendmail on port 25. port 25 is working for sending mail but not for receiving mails. I also found getmail running on this box. What is it for, receiving mails? Let Sendmail sending mails? $ ls -la /etc/mail Code: total 268 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-02-16 14:13 ./ drwxr-xr-x 47 root root 4096 2007-02-17 10:08 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 486 2003-05-14 03:07 Makefile -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2002-06-02 03:57 access -rw-r----- 1 root root 12288 2006-02-02 04:11 access.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 701 2001-01-04 05:18 aliases -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 12288 2006-02-02 04:11 aliases.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2003-05-05 06:09 domaintable -rw-r----- 1 root root 12288 2006-02-02 04:11 domaintable.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5594 2006-10-01 19:16 helpfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45 2003-05-05 06:36 local-host-names -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2003-05-05 06:09 mailertable -rw-r----- 1 root root 12288 2006-02-02 04:11 mailertable.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60224 2007-02-16 14:13 sendmail.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60224 2007-02-16 14:13 sendmail.cf~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1448 2007-02-16 15:43 statistics -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41114 2006-10-01 19:15 submit.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63 2003-05-05 06:36 trusted-users -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2003-05-05 06:09 virtusertable -rw-r----- 1 root root 12288 2006-02-02 04:11 virtusertable.db B.R. satimis
getmail is a tool to retrieve external and personal mail from a remote POP/IMAP mailbox to your local mailbox. Fetchmail is another variant doing the same thing. It has nothing to do with delivering or receiving email as in the MTA function. It's a user tool, that needs to be configured and started by/for a specific user. It's not related to your sendmail problem, for which I don't have an answer.
Hi falko, Edited /etc/mail/local-host-names adding "satimis.com" (only one line on this file) # /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail restart Code: Starting sendmail MTA daemon: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q25m Starting sendmail MSP queue runner: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q25m Sent a mail from yahoo.com to; [email protected] Mail arrived. Tks. A further question; on running # /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail restart Code: Starting sendmail MTA daemon: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q25m Starting sendmail MSP queue runner: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q25m The 1st line hung there for some time. Then the 2nd line started, also hanging there for some time. How to check the problem caused. TIA B.R. satimis
