I'm glad to see this thread, I've had this question for a while too. For me the line DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') is in the file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc I think the corresponding line in sendmail.cf is: O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA So, I changed the line in sendmail.mc as noted above and did the commands as above which changed the entry in my sendmail.cf file to: O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA I then restarted sendmail. Well, it didn't work. I'm still not recieving mail on my box. The mail hasn't bounced back yet, but sometimes that takes days. Any ideas? blake _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
