Dear colleagues, I added sendmail:ALL string to /etc/hosts.allow as it is set in my RH installation (although I didn't find where this thing is described in SuSE sendmail/tcpd documentation), and tcpwrapper allows now normal work of sendmail. Mail messages (now) are delivered to server (below myhost.mydomain.ru) successfully. But it looks that there is some loop at sending of mail messages from this server, for example to kus@free.net in example below. Sorry, where is my error in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail settings ? Error description and /etc/sysconfig/sendmail content follows.

I need to setup sendmail on old SuSE-9.0 for AMD64 installation on Opteron server. sendmail configuration must be extremally simple - for direct send of messages through smtp and for direct accepting of messages via smtp.

Unfortunately the SuSE docs I found was very short, so I attempted to send or receive some mail via usual command-line MUA (nail). MTA was setted via Yast for permanent connection. But 1) I found in /var/log/mail that tcpwrapper reject the accepting of messages from particular mail server. There is no information in tcpd that it is used for sendmail also. Is it right that I must modify /etc/hosts.allow for sendmail ? And how ? 2) sending of mail don't works also - the message goes to dead.letter

Sorry, what should I also add to suse-linux.m4 (or may be other file) ?
