Yes, This works good; port 25 is now open on my box. Now, I'm stumped by another obstacle. When I send e-mail to the host, it bounces: PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 5.7.1 <<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:dbikle@ow911.com"> root@xwafflex911.com</a>>... Relaying denied This smells like another configuration issue in my <a href="http://sendmail.mc">sendmail.mc</a> I'm not sure what to change though. How do I relay e-mail to my host? <div>On 2/19/07, Brian Truter <<a href="mailto:mail-lists@darkworlds.org">mail-lists@darkworlds.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > About 2 years ago, > I tinkered with sendmail. > > I remember that I edited files and then typed make. > > Make would then read my edited files and then generate others and > then sendmail would react to the generated files. > > Is this recollection correct? > > Where do I specify that sendmail will listen on other devices > besides localhost?? > > -Bob > > On 2/19/07, Brian Truter <<a href="mailto:mail-lists@darkworlds.org"> mail-lists@darkworlds.org</a>> wrote: >> >> > People, >> > >> > I'm on FC5. >> > >> > I'm a Linux newbie. >> > >> > I can see sendmail running on my host: >> > >> > bash sb2 root /etc/mail 61 # ps -ef|grep -i send >> > root 4606 1 0 Jan31 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: accepting >> > connections >> > smmsp 4614 1 0 Jan31 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue >> > runner@01:00:00 >> > for /var/spool/clientmqueue >> > root 1302 736 0 14:25 pts/2 00:00:00 grep -i send >> > bash sb2 root /etc/mail 62 # >> > >> > And I can connect to port 25 on localhost: >> > >> > bash sb2 root /etc/sysconfig 24 # telnet sb2.local 25 >> > Trying 127.0.0.1... >> > Connected to localhost.localdomain (<a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>). >> > Escape character is '^]'. >> > 220 sb2.local ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.6/8.13.6; Mon, 19 Feb 2007 13:55:50 >> > -0800 >> > >> > But... >> > I cannot connect to port 25 when I come from other hosts. >> > >> > I'm looking for some general advice on how to configure this host so >> > it will receive e-mail. >> > >> > I assume that in that advice will be some clues on how to turn on >> > port 25 to other hosts. >> > >> > How do I "turn-on" in-coming mail? >> > >> > -Bob >> > <a href="mailto:sinbuzz@sinbuzz.com">sinbuzz@sinbuzz.com</a> >> > -- >> > fedora-list mailing list >> > <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com"> fedora-list@redhat.com</a> >> > To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> >> >> Sendmail is configured by default to only listen on the loopback device. >> You will need to reconfigure it to listen for connections on your >> network >> connection.

Remove the loopback dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet. dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr= <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>, Name=MTA')dnl dnl # The line that binds it to loopback is the DAEMON_OPTIONS line. comment it out like this: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=<a href="http://127.0.0.1"> 127.0.0.1</a>, Name=MTA')dnl Save that change, and you should be able to run "make -C /etc/mail" and restart sendmail.
