Hello.
I am scratching my head about sendmail for a simple thing:
I have a CentOS 4 box on which I would like to receive e-mails. when I type 'telnet localhost 25' I can connect successfully to the sendmail service. Now if I type: 'telnet 192.168.0.30 25' on the same host the connection is refused. 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 ?
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-em... -------------- Important The default sendmail.cf file does not allow Sendmail to accept network connections from any host other than the local computer. To configure Sendmail as a server for other clients, edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file, and either change the address specified in the Addr= option of the DAEMON_OPTIONS directive from 127.0.0.1 to the IP address of an active network device or comment out the DAEMON_OPTIONS directive all together by placing dnl at the beginning of the line. When finished, regenerate /etc/mail/sendmail.cf by executing the following command:
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf --------------
Will.
