<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am scratching my head about sendmail for a simple
thing:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have a CentOS 4 box on which I would like to receive
e-mails.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>when I type 'telnet localhost 25' I can connect
successfully to the sendmail service.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Now if I type: 'telnet 192.168.0.30 25' on the same host
the connection is refused.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It also refuses connections from another
host.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have edited the /etc/mail/access file and
added:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>192.168
OK</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But this doesn't help after a restart.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Does somebody know why the connection is refused ? I can
see that behaviour on several CentOS box I have so it seems to be the new
default. What parameter should I change to make it be accepted ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thank you,</FONT></DIV>
