Thanks sir
as u have said i "added"
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,
Name=MTA')dnl
I am still learning how to configure sendmail..so my
query now is that the sendmail.mc file says
dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on
the IPv4 loopback address
dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices.
Remove the loopback
dnl # address restriction to accept email from the
internet or intranet.
dnl #
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA')dnl
so i commented the entry and made a new one which
contains the ip of my machine......means the answer
that you have said. This is been done before the query
i made in the forum.
so the mails to 127.0.0.1 is not getting relayed, now
question is "Is it necessary to have a smtp port 25
open for localhost, irrespective of whether we have
different smtp server or not?
i hope you got what my query is
thanks...
