OK, so sendmail either isn't starting, isn't binding to port 25, or some sort of network/firewall issue is blocking the connection. You should see a log entry like: sendmail[XXXX]: starting daemon (8.14.6): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00 ...and netstat -an | grep 25 (or similar with lsof) should find a LISTENing process on the port. >> What do the sendmail log messages say? > > Jan 8 10:12:44 jerusalem sm-mta[28896]: r05KsfdB048780: forward > /home/huff/.forward.jerusalem+: Group writable directory > Jan 8 10:12:44 jerusalem sm-mta[28896]: r05KsfdB048780: forward > /home/huff/.forward+: Group writable directory > Jan 8 10:12:44 jerusalem sm-mta[28896]: r05KsfdB048780: forward > /home/huff/.forward.jerusalem: Group writable directory > Jan 8 10:12:44 jerusalem sm-mta[28896]: r05KsfdB048780: forward > /home/huff/.forward: Group writable directory > Jan 8 10:12:44 jerusalem sm-mta[28896]: r05KsfdB048780: smtpquit: mailer > local exited with exit value 1 > Jan 8 10:12:44 jerusalem sm-mta[28896]: r05KsfdB048780: to=<huff@localhost>, > delay=2+18:16:27, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=56791038, relay=local, > dsn=4.4.2, stat=Deferred: Connection reset by local You either need to fix the permissions by running something like: chmod go-w / /home /home/huff /etc /etc/mail ...or you can add something like the following to your sendmail.cf: O DontBlameSendmail=ForwardFileInGroupWritableDirPath Regards, -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
