I would venture to guess your having the same problem i had. In RHL 7.2 Redhat made it so sendmail will not get mail from anyone but itself. This was done as i understand for some security reason, not sure. You need to edit the file: /etc/sendmail.cf In that file you will see a line like this O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA sendmail only listen on that ip. To allow other to send you email change that ip to your ip, or do what i did O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA Now it will listen on all IP's on that machine, so if you change your ip it will still work, this is probably what you want to do since you said your DHCP and maybe your IP changes from time to time. After you make these changes restart sendmail and you should be fine.
Hope that helps. Jim. On Friday 01 February 2002 09:55 am, you wrote: > Hello, > It seems that my machine cannot receive mail from outside.
