The default config file in RH9 instructs sendmail to listen only on the loopback interface. To change this modify /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and then restart sendmail. e.g. service sendmail restart.
Both methods below will modify sendmail.cf to listen on ALL interfaces. Modifying it to listen to a specific interface is left a an exercise for the reader. 1) Modify sendmail.cf directly. Find the line: O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA Change it to read O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp, Name=MTA 2) Modify sendmail.mc, then generate a new sendmail.cf with m4 Find the section in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc that reads: dnl # dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet. dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl Modify the mc file as specified in the comments and generate a new sendmail.cf. (There are plenty of docs out there on how to do this.) - Paul On Fri, 2003-09-19 at 14:32, Peramslist wrote: > Hi, > > I've installed Sendmail 8.12.9 on Redhat Linux 9.
