This with SuSE-7.1. Let me know if it's been fixed in later versions.
SuSEconfig set up my sendmail system, but I'm getting an increasing number of
emails bouncing back with the following error (for example):
---------
from localhost [127.0.0.1]
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

550 5.1.1
Hi, This is not a SuSE or a Sendmail problem. Your messages are being bounced because your IP address is on the DUL blacklist. This can happen if your provider allows users to send unsollicited garbage (spam) and refuses to act against it. I cannot say whether this is justified or not. If you are forging your return address (I suppose not), it possibly is. You probably should complain about this to your provider. In any case. The RH 'solution' comes down to this in SuSE. Go to the rc.config editor in YaST(2) and set the following variables: FROM_HEADER: the domain of your ISP. SENDMAIL_SMARTHOST: the mailserver of your ISP (usually smtp). This is explained more fully in the SuSE manuals. Good luck, Tim On Mon, Sep 24, 2001 at 07:55:35AM +0100, Derek Fountain wrote:

... while talking to mail.kde.org.:
RCPT To:
<<< 553 http://www.mail-abuse.org/dul/ See URL:http://mail-abuse.org/dul/ 550 5.1.1
... User unknown ---------- Following the URL given leads to this:
------------- define(`SMART_HOST',`mail.yourisp.net')dnl <--- Your ISP's mail server name goes here MASQUERADE_AS(yourisp.net)dnl <--- Your ISP's domain name goes here FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl ----------
I've no idea what this means or how to apply the RHL solution to SuSE. There's nothing in the support database about it.
What can I do?

Thats the hard way. Instead edit /etc/mail/mailertable . smtp:ISPmailserver ^ note the dot That will send any email via the ISP SMTP server Nick
heh heh heh I can't resist Get the mp3 here: http://www.orca.bc.ca/spamalbum/256k/brunner-went-down-to-florida.mp3 Brunner Went Down to Florida By: Gordon Fecyk Inspired By: Kostadis Roussos' "Devil went down to Sunlab" Parody of Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band (BMI) Brunner went down to Florida, He was looking for an ISP. He was in a bind, 'cause he's off line And was willing to pay the fee. When he came across John from MegaPOP With bandwidth real hot, And Brunner jumped on the Popsite bench and said, "Boy, let me tell you what!" I bet you didn't know it But I'm the king of spam and spew. And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you. Now you run a pretty good server, boy But give the devil his due. I'll bet Avalanche Pro against your soul 'Cause you can't stop 'Spamdrew.' The boy said, "My name's Johnny And it might be a sin But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret 'Cause I'm the best that's ever been." Johnny, lock your dial-ups and start working them real hardf 'Cause hell's broke loose in Popsite And the devil deals the cards And if you win you get to stop his new Avalanche Pro But if you lose, Brunner gets your soul! Then Brunner opened up NT and said, "I'll start this show." And fire flew from his fingertips as he watched his Avalanche load. And he sent his spew across the 'net But it was blocked with "5-5-6". Then a band of Chickenboners joined in And it was blocked again, like this... (instrumental) When Brunner finished Johnny said, "Well you're pretty good ol' son! But we work with the Dial-up User List let me show you how it's done!" Avalanche dead, run DUL run. Devil's running NT Workstation. Chickenboner spam spew 5-5-0. Stop the Devil's junk mail, Go DUL Go! (fiddle solo) And Brunner bowed his head Because he knew that he'd been beat. And he tossed his Avalanche Pro in the trash, and cried "Lawsuite!" Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back here If you ever wanna try again. I done told you once, You son-of-a-bitch, I'm the best that's ever been!" He mailed: Avalanche dead, run DUL run. Devil's running NT Workstation. Chickenboner spam spew 5-5-0. Stop the Devil's junk mail, Go DUL Go! (solo finale) The rest of the songs... http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:lfTh_Fb6FLc:www.orca.bc.ca/spamalbum/+s... I hope this lightens the mood. On Sunday 23 September 2001 11:55 pm, you wrote:
