I posted this message this morning but I haven't seen it show up yet.
I'm guessing I botching something, if not, sorry for the double post.
I'm having problems setting up a mail server for my internal domain.
Sorry for being so verbose but I don't know how else to explain it all.
:)
Red Hat v8.0
Server: server.mydomain.org
Client: client.mydomain.org
server.mydomain.org is has DNS, DHCP, FTP, Apache, and NIS working
correctly. So far so good. Next is getting sendmail to act as the
mydomain.org mail server.
-----
Here's the dig on my DNS:
# dig mydomain.org mx | grep MX
;mydomain.org. IN MX
mydomain.org. 86400 IN MX 10 server.mydomain.org.
Ok, so we see that I have an MX record for the domain.
-----
I've installed the following RPM's:
sendmail
sendmail-cf
sendmail-doc
m4
procmail
-----
I made these changes to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:
MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.org')dnl
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl
dnl This changes sendmail to only listen on the loopback device
127.0.0.1
dnl and not on any other network devices. Comment this out if you want
dnl to accept email over the network.
#DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX')dnl
After I made the changes I did:
# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
# service sendmail restart
-----
# sendmail -d0

But it just seems to ball up and stay in the client queue:

Here's the /var/log/maillog entry on the server:
Jan 31 09:57:29 server sm-msp-queue[3799]: h0TA24QC019763: to=root,
ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=2+05:55:25, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay,
pri=5970049, relay=server.mydomain.org., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred:
Connection refused by server.mydomain.org.
-----
What step am I missing? Why is server refusing the connection?
