probably a good idea. red hat has a long history of being targets for exploits since it traditionally had a buncha stuff turned on by default, and many users did not know what was running so did not know to shut it off. > No matter what I > do I can't send anything anywhere.

Can someone please tell me what I need > to do to get sendmail to actually send mail? as for getting it to send mail. not sure what version your running but my redhat 7.3 system sends mail just fine w/no configuration I just did an echo "test" | mail my_email_address and 2 seconds later it was in my inbox on my other server. what exactly are you doing to send mail? I think redhat by default only listens to localhost for SMTP connections, which, unless your RECIEVEING mail on a system is a very good configuration, I wish others would copy it. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
