Darrin, here's the short checklist:
1. is sendmail running? 2. is it running submit only (look at the m4 files in etc/ and read up using the official sendmail configuration docs, don't muck with sendmail.cf directly) If you installed it via apt it should have left a debian specific README in /usr/share/doc/ On 6/19/06, Michael Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Darrin, I think most linux distros have a default sendmail config to only listen on port 25 on local host. Look at your sendmail.cf it should say on one of the 10000 of lines. # SMTP daemon options O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA What you want is. O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=<IP Address of your system>, Name=MTA You can also run netstat -nl .

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=MTA-v4, Family=inet') There are more options to specify what interface or address.. If you are looking for a book on sendmail I recommend the O'Reilly Sendmail Book (I.E the Bat Book) and Sendmail Cookbook. If you still can't fiure out what's going on use Postfix. http://www.postfix.org/ On 6/19/06, Darrin Lajoie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm using sendmail (to stay similar to another debial machine of mine).
