Re: [newbie] Email Setup
From: Ronald A. Yacketta I have a similar problem I have setup sendmail useing m4 etc.. I can telnet to port 25 from any enternal site and send a BS message from thier, but when I use pine from another site or any other mailer prog the mail never gets to my server (yes I have a MX record setup (domain is newmg.net) ) any ideas about this one?
Re: [newbie] Email Setup
Doh, I think I've just been degraded to 'clueless newbie'. I was configuring sendmail when postfix was running. The good news is I did this right and it is working wonderfully now. Sorry for the HTML, and thanks for all the help. Eric Solberg On Mon, 27 Sep 1999, you wrote: Hmmm, I just looked at /etc/sysconfig/sendmail and it has the entry DAEMONIZE=yes.

[newbie] Email Setup
I'm having trouble getting mail working with Mandrake 6.1. I have the MX record set up in DNS. If I send mail from the shell I can receive the mail either using Pine or using my Windoze email client at work. However, I can't seem to send mail from the mail client. When I try this at home (with a windows client on the same network as the Linux box) it appears to be succesfull, but the mail disappears never to be seen again. What seems odd is when I go back into the shell it tells me I have mail but when I go in with Pine, none is there. If I try to send mail from my office, setting my server as the SMTP host, I get the error message: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.solberg.com', Server: 'mail.solberg.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E Any idea what I'm doing wronghere? Thanks in advance, Eric Solberg

It's a socket error, make sure the mail daemon started and stayed running. and that you don't have both postfix and sendmail installed. then try to 'telnet 0 25' once that works the other should -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon
Re: [newbie] Email Setup
Thanks so much for the helpful info - it is not being run in daemon mode. I remember seeing the config file where this is set and can change that. If I'm sending mail from work, but setting up my mail client to use my server (which is at home), do I need to add my company's domain in relay-domains? I'm using this as a stand-alone pop/smtp server without any relay or smarter host. Thanks, Eric Solberg I would make sure sendmail is running is daemon mode. Thats the only way it will accept connections on port 25. Also are you trying to use your box as the relay or another mail server.

Re: [newbie] Email Setup
I'm hoping this isn't the problem since I don't see that configurable anywhere in my mail client (outlook express).
