I've got another related question here, when using sendmail on Linux to send mail, for example using "mail" or from scripts, and with the SMTP daemon definitely *off* ;-) I find that I cant configure sendmail to use localhost as a gateway, or any IP or domain or MX record that resolves to the local machine as a forwarding alias.
What I'm trying to achieve is JAMES as an SMTP MTA on the local machine into which sendmail will forward all locally originated mail. Then I can use JAMES to manage lists and aliases. The scenario is a development server hosting cvs, bugzilla, and a project management application, JAMES allows me to build complex mail processing rules with mailets and matchers, but I really want to capture the locally originated mail from the applications and process it before it gets sent out. I know its probably a bit OT, but the fetchmail answers make me think someone knows how to solve my dillema my sendmail errors include this, where I've tried to forward mail to danny@localhost to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but sendmail doesn't seem to want to even try opening a connection to localhost 25 554 5.0.0 MX list for killerbees.co.uk points back to linux.killerbees.co.uk 554 5.3.5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Local configuration error and sendmail also claims, when configured differently, that connections on port 25 have been refused, even though telnet connections localhost->localhost on port 25 connect and get the JAMES welcome line. any tips, even the most unlikely sounding, will be greatfully received d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
