[opensuse] Sendmail don't open port 25 ...
I have SUSE Linux 10.1 installed on a i586 Hardware. I installed the sendmail-8.13.6-9.9.i586.rpm package through the install CD. After starting the service through the sendmail start/stop script port 25 will not opened. Do you have any raisons what could be wrong? Thanks a lot for your help.

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? J Peter Plüss wrote:

Why not simply use sendmail? Some of us still prefer sendmail as the MTA. -- 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

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

SUSE has a superb sendmail configuration tool. You only need to edit /etc/sysconfig/mail and /etc/sysconfig/sendmail and you are set (run SuSEconfig).

I'm glad sendmail is supported in suse. However, when it comes to ease of MTA config in suse, I think postfix has sendmail beat. For instance, you can go into yast and click one button to enable virus/spam scanning - is that also the case when using sendmail, or does a sendmail install require some googling and config file tweaking to achieve the same effect?

I don't know, but the main benefit of throwing out sendmail is that you'll be able to configure your mail server without having to learn a macro programming language Whoever dreamed up that one I hope is safely contained in an asylum by now --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I should think that Yast handles them both fine. If it doesn't, I'd fill it as a bug. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
