Two suggestions for the long term fix: 1. Dump the ISP and switch to one that doesn't block SMTP and gives you a static IP (that would resolve two of your complaints below) 2. Dump sendmail and go to Postfix (that would resolve everything else). Deleting a message from the queue in postfix is as simple as issuing a "postsuper -d id". Deleting 22000 is still a one liner.
Quick short term fix: get SSMTP and use it instead of sendmail, it's a very lightweight "server". You configure a single very simple config file (there are only about 5 options in total) to relay out your ISP's mail server (since your ISP is blocking) and you're done. Let me know how it goes and whether you're still stuck.

Here are the facts: I am running PBX in a Flash Freepbx and Asterisk 1.4 Part of this distro includes webmin and Sendmail I want to send vmail attachments and error messages via email I only need to send messages out. My ISP blocks port 25 I have no fixed IP address but use a dynamic DNS (dyndns)service for this * server I have tried to get this up and running but with no luck. I don't have the time or the inclination to learn about email servers like sendmail Can anybody help me with the configuration ? Also I need to be able to delete 22,000 emails that have been placed on the server by warnings and errors etc. (before my HD fills up :) Henry ================================= Henry L.Coleman [www.VoIP-PBX.ca] Tel: 647-723-5160 Ext.203 ================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
