Hi Cowboy
Hello !
I did desperately try to track down this error I saw on different systems: Jun 28 13:53:41 go sendmail[18911]: j5SBrfKk018911: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=benoit (1024/100), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=31826, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred:Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
Did you specify bind address for sendmail and forget to include 127.0.0.1 ? If things are kosher, you should have some message in the logs about not being able to bind to a port.
Usualy after purging the config and re-installing sendmail everything was fine.... until I enabled IPv6 according to the advice in sendmail.mc file which reads: ------------ dnl # If you want to support IPv6, switch the commented/uncommentd lines FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6, Name=MTA-v6, Port=smtp, Addr=::1')dnl dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Name=MTA-v4, Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6, Name=MSP-v6, Port=submission, Addr=::1')dnl dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Name=MSP-v4, Port=submission, Addr=127.0.0.1')dnl ------------
I have: FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6, Name=MTA-v6, Port=smtp, M=')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6, Name=MSA-v6, Port=587, M=Ea')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6, Name=SMTA-v6, Port=smtps, M=s')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=local, Name=MTA-Unix, Addr=/var/run/sendmail/mta/smsocket')dnl
If you do this, sendmail only binds to the IPv6 Localhost and is not able to transmit emails from the MTA to the queue runner (or vice versa?).
What kernel are you using ? # lsof -i | grep sendmail sendmail- 6462 root 4u IPv6 72288 TCP *:smtp (LISTEN) sendmail- 6462 root 5u IPv6 72396 TCP *:submission (LISTEN) sendmail- 6462 root 6u IPv6 72450 TCP *:ssmtp (LISTEN)
You have to twitch submit.mc too: ------------ FEATURE(`msp', `[IPv6:::1]', `MSA')dnl ------------
Nope... I have FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]', `MSA')dnl
I remember that older versions of sendmail didn't habe that problem, because listening on IPv6 did mean you also opened the IPv4 socket.
Yes, there were problems with older sendmails - mostly related to the fact that early 2.4 kernels did not support both ipv4 and ipv6 on the same port.
Probably this has changes somewhen either in the Kernel or in sendmail itself.
Something odd is happening on your box, as this is working fine on several local boxen - running various 2.6 kernels. -- Rick Nelson <Joy> that's a Kludge(TM) <knghtbrd> It Works(tm) <Joy> AIX works(TM) <knghtbrd> no it doesn't <knghtbrd> => -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
