I've been having a problem with trying to get a mail server going...Take a look at your /etc/sendmail.cf file and look for:
I have a main machine (linux1) which connects to the net.
I'd like all other machines on the local LAN to use linux1 as their mails erver and to connect on port 25 to send mail.
But linux1 can't even connect to itself!! Port 25 is open on 'localhost' on linux1 but any attempt to connect to port 25 as linux1 (or 192.168.0.3 the IP address) gets a 'connection refused'.
This is SuSE 8.0 and I have not had this problem before but since I did a re-install about a month ago, linux1 refuses to talk on port 25.
I've looked at host.allow, inetd.conf, etc.. and firewalls and nothing changes the situation. I can shut the firewall down and nothing changes.
Anyone have a clue as to how to open port 25 to a local LAN (and to the local machine)?
# SMTP daemon options
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
# SMTP client options
#O ClientPortOptions=Address=0.0.0.0
Change the Addr= to your external ip, or 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces, then restart sendmail.
