New RH9 installation and sendmail

Steve Buehler Tue, 02 Sep 2003 07:36:23 -0700

I have installed RedHat 9 and sendmail will only work for me if the mail originates on the local host. I have edited the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file to read: dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

Then I ran:
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

My /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file looks like this now.
# SMTP daemon options
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA

I then typed:
service sendmail restart

I have even rebooted the system and I can still not get it to except any email from outside. From another machine off my local network, I type (and get) the following: /etc# telnet 65.69.170.229 25 Trying 65.69.170.229... telnet: connect to address 65.69.170.229: Connection timed out

Can anybody let me know what I am doing wrong? It would sure be nice if I could get mail to my systems.

Thanks
Steve
