Hi Wil, if you have done what ditty wrote, the you must 'hash' the edited text files like etc/mail/access. This is easily done with SuSE's SuSEconfig tool! (or manually - see docs for sendmail) The result are binary files :) steffen ditty@gmx.de wrote:

Hi,

in /etc/mail/access you must put your local network and RELAY, eg. 192.168 RELAY, then you can send mails fron your client to your server. If you want that your server don´t dial to your ISP then you must write in your /etc/rc.config sendmail_expensive="yes", sendmail_args="-bd -om", sendmail_nocanonify="yes" and sendmail_smarthost="mail.provider.de", if you do that then your server doesn´t dial to your ISP. If you want that your mails were sent than you must do a sendmail -q, you can do that with a cron-script, eg. at 02.00AM.

...

Hi all,

I'am running a SuSe Linux 6.2 server. I try to get sendmail to work for the last week, but it still does not work properly. I want to queue all e-mail first of all clients and send the e-mail out when I connect to my

ISP. When I put SMTP=yes in my /etc/rc.config and try to send an e-mail of one of the clients the Linux server starts dialing to the ISP.

Is SMTP needed to queue the clients e-mail on the server or is this something different.

I also tried to put my local domain of the Linux server and the mail server of my ISP in /etc/rc.config under smart and local host, but this all failed. All these names IP numbers are in /etc/hosts

When I look at /etc/ sendmail.cf I see files like /etc/mail/access.db but in these files are only YYYYYYYYYY. Is this correct? In /etc/mail/ I see also same files with the same name but without .db so e.g. access only instead of access.db

In the SuSe book 6.2 is very limited about the sendmail issue.

Can somebody give me some clue to get this sendmail to work, or a readable documentation about sendmail.

Thanks

Wil
