I finally got the confTRUSTED_USER thing to work (well it never crashed when I tried to restart it). I added: define(`confDOMAIN_NAME',`SERVER_SHORT_NAME.DOMAIN_NAME')dnl I also changed /etc/hosts and added SERVER_SHORT_NAME.DOMAIN_NAME to it, along with the ip address and the SERVER_SHORT_NAME. The IP address that I'm using is the one I see on ifconfig, not the one that is seen on a website that shows your computer's ip address. I get this error: Nov 6 18:07:46 [SERVER_SHORT_NAME] sendmail[3774]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied I can access the DNS server. I am basing that on the fact that I can access websites on the Linux server. Is there a command that I can use to determine the hostname of my server and if it is setup in the DNS properly? <div>On 11/5/06, Les Mikesell <<a href="mailto:les@futuresource.com"> les@futuresource.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Sun, 2006-11-05 at 03:26, jones yeates wrote: > Whenever I do a make and I have the confTRUSTED_USERS it compiles fine > but then it won't restart sendmail properly. This is probably a syntax error - m4 syntax is kind of obscure. If you are following an example, note the direction of each of the single quotes. But, all the trusted user setting does is omit adding a Sender: header to point out cases where the From: and real user don't match. You probably want it for this case but the mail will go through either way. > I will try the confDOMAIN on (Monday), but I am not clear as to why I > need a long address for the server for apache to work that is running > on the same machine. Sendmail is an internet mailer. It wants to resolve names using proper internet conventions and fully qualified domain names are the only thing usable on the internet. It is also going to try to resolve the destination addresses so it can apply any IP based restrictions or mappings in your access and other configuration files, even though it it will defer actual delivery to your specified smarthost, so make sure you have access to public DNS on this box. -- Les Mikesell <a href="mailto:les@futuresource.com"> les@futuresource.com</a> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <<a href="http://www.k12os.org">http://www.k12os.org</a>> </blockquote></div>
