I haven't used sendmail in some years, but my guess is it's likely compiled against libwrap, so you should edit /etc/hosts.allow to permit smtp access.
But, why not simply use postfix as MTA?

Why not simply use sendmail? Some of us still prefer sendmail as the MTA.
If someone really wants to use sendmail, more power to him. But if he just wants a working MTA, why should he go through the contortions of trying to get sendmail configured, when postfix is the default MTA in suse, and all ready to rock and roll?

Correct me if I am wrong, but out_of_the_box it is not ready to rock and roll if you are going to actually use it as a domain MTA. There is still setup to do. I actually found postfix harder to setup until I used webmin to setup a few things. To each their own choice because that's what it's all about, choice. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
