Hello there,
I have posted here before with this problem and thought I had it fixed...
guess not. I am still being told that my mail server is an open relay. So,
here is what I have done:
I used linuxconf to set up relaying for my two networks. Then, through
linuxconf, I regenerated the sendmail.cf file. Last but not least, I
'activate changes' and even restart the box so sendmail gets a fresh start.
Still an open relay...
Upon further investigation (and some previous advice from this list), I
found that linuxconf may be buggy and I should manually edit the
sendmail.mc file and regenerate the sendmail.cf file with m4... the problem
is that I don't know which line to edit to allow my two networks to
send/receive email nor do I know what the proper line should say! As an
experimental workaround, I tried setting up the relaying with linuxconf and
then regenerating the sendmail.cf file with m4- but then I was not able to
send mail from my local network! So I had to go back and do it all using
linuxconf... I'm still an open relay, but at least I can send/receive
locally again.
Also, while I was looking around (btw, I "inherited" this box, I didn't set
it up!) I noticed that there are multiple sendmail.mc files in a few
different directories. That seemed odd to me, so I typed:
rpm -q sendmail
and got back:
sendmail 8.9.3-10
8.11.2-14
Does that mean there are two versions of sendmail installed? Is that a
problem? Should I uninstall the 8.9.3-10 version and if so, how? If not,
then which sendmail.mc file should I edit? And when I edit the correct
file, is there any reason why I wouldnt be able to edit it with PICO, and
then regenerate with m4?
Geez, this has become a real mess... any help you could offer would be
greatly appreciated!
Frustrated-
Mike
