If I don't start the sendmail daemon I am unable to send mail. I know that this used to work a while back (SuSE 7.x?). Can anone tell me how I can modify my sendmail configuration to make this work? This is the message that shows up in /var/log/mail: stat=Deferred: Connection refused by localhost If I restart sendmail, the deferred mail gets delivered. -- Robert C.

edit /etc/sysconfig/mail Change the following entry to "yes" SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE Then SuSEconfig --module sendmail Then rcsendmail restart -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1).

edit /etc/sysconfig/mail
Oops, misread what you were asking ;) OK, you want to add localhost to /etc/mail/relay-domains and then restart sendmail -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Thanks for the reply, but I guess my original message wasn't clear. What I would like to be able to do is send mail *without* starting sendmail as a daemon. I know this used to work a few releases ago, but it doesn't work for me now, on SuSE 8.0. -- Robert C. Paulsen, Jr. robert@paulsenonline.net

Hi, Do not start it in the runlevels but use inetd and have sendmail still listen with the -bs switch. Works for me. -- ---------------------------------------------------- This mail has been scanned for virus by AntiVir for UNIX Copyright (C) 1994-2003 by H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH.
