Sendmail config problems
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/7ed01a6b981cfc84fdb1fea57aaaae81.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I am trying to get sendmail to work from a brand new installation of suse 8.0. I have been having problems starting the daemon as well as problems getting mail through using the sendmail daemon. DNS seems to be working ok b/c other processes can resolve hostnames. firewall has smtp open. Are there any configuration steps I need to go through in order to get sendmail working properly? Nothing I do seems to get sendmail to stay up. Allen Jones

Hi I had similar problems, because senmail is quite difficult to setup. What I did, was to install webmin-package, and configured sendmail thru the webmin-interface, and it started working. But this was for my router-box, so if You are using a single computer, a webmin might be a bit "overkill", but still it is a nice package, and the sendmail-module has quite good help for setting things up.
