3. I fetch mail with fetchmail which requires sendmail to send the mail to my account. Must I have sendmail running as a daemon or can I invoke sendmail when fetchmail needs it. If I shut down sendmail/smtp, I can sendmail, with sendmail -q but fetchmail fails. Basically, how do I close the smtp port but still use fetchmail?
Add O DaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost to /etc/sendmail.cf make no other changes. This will cause sendmail to bind to localhost, hosts outside your computer will not see an open port. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-9345 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
