1. in /etc/sysconfig/mail set the directive SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE="yes" then run SuSEconfig and rcsendmail restart 2. DON'T USE SENDMAIL, IT'S VERY BUGGY :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sturgis, Grant" To: Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 6:41 PM Subject: [suse-security] Sendmail / SuSEfirewall2 Woes Greetings all, We are configuring a sendmail relay server and are having some problems. Sendmail was all setup and working nicely, until I came along to install and configure SuSEfirewall2. Even with the firewall shutdown, sendmail fails to respond to remote connections. Actually, the banner appears, but sendmail won't respond to a helo or any other SMTP commands. When attempted locally, this works fine. Again, this is with the firewall shutdown (SuSEfirewall2 stop). The same symptoms occur with the firewall loaded. Any ideas on what I should be looking for?
