Can you send me your sendmail.conf configuration???
just for because, i need to configure my system for not accept telnet to port 25 :)
regards,
Sorry but I don't have it on me at the moment. If you installed from source you can recreate a config file by this: #!/bin/sh cd /SOMEDIR/sendmail-8.11.0/cf/cf/ m4 /SOMEDIR/sendmail-8.11.0/cf/m4/cf.m4 config.mc > config.cf cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.back cp ./config.cf /etc/mail/config.cf exit() Where SOMEDIR is wherever you untared the sendmail source at (probably your home directory or /tmp) http://www.sendmail.org/m4/intro.html What are you having problems configuring? Also did you get your connection problem worked out? I don't think your sendmail.cf file has any relation to your telnet connection refused to port 25. Look in "/etc/inetd.conf" does sendmail have something like "/usr/sbin/tcpd" in that line? If so, it is going to be a tcpwrappers problem. Jack

Hi all. I've run into a problem with Sendmail on my 6.3 box. The box won't let me telnet into port 25 from any other box. I don't know if this is a Sendmail problem, or something else. I can telnet in normally, but if
I
port 25 from anywhere else it gets a connection refused. The Sendmail daemon is running, it reports that it is accepting connections on port
I've uncomments the like from the inetd.conf to allow it to be run
try 25. there.
Does anyone have any idea what else to try?
Thanks, Lee
Do you have it running under tcp wrappers?
You might want to consider running it as a stand alone daemon, this way it doesn't have to keep respawning for each email that is coming in. The bad thing about running it as a stand alone daemon means that anyone can connection to your mail server (but not nessically relay though it), but has better performance.
