Re: [CentOS] sendmail refusing incoming connections from outside

It also refuses connections from another host.

I have edited the /etc/mail/access file and added: 192.168 OK But this doesn't help after a restart.

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 ?

You will need to edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and regenerate a new sendmail.cf Edit and add a line similar to below for your network: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=90.0.0.2, Name=MTA')dnl

Generate new cf file by running macro: #m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

Restart sendmail and you should be good. HTH
