sendmail_enable="NO" means there is no sendmail daemon running. You can verify
this via "ps -aux | grep sendmail". Remove that statement. Without a reboot you
can start sendmail by cd /etc/mail; make start.
Unless you have changed the freebsd.mc file and done a 'make install' I do not
believe sendmail will accept from any connections except except on 127.0.0.1
(localhost). This is what you want I think. If that's it as others have said,
there is no reason to use the hosts.allow mechanism. This is independent of the
jail environment.
sockstat|grep sendmail
and you can see whats going on.
Not the case for me, having sendmail_enable="NO" and not having it in
rc.conf results in the same behavior. Here's sendmail rcvar output:
Without sendmail_enable in rc.conf:
# sendmail
$sendmail_enable=NO
# sendmail_submit
$sendmail_submit_enable=YES
# sendmail_clientmqueue
$sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES
With sendmail_enable="NO":
# sendmail
$sendmail_enable=NO
# sendmail_submit
$sendmail_submit_enable=YES
# sendmail_clientmqueue
$sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES
With sendmail_enable="NONE":
# sendmail
$sendmail_enable=NO
# sendmail_clientmqueue
$sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO
So the first two are identical (I don't see why they wouldn't be). As
for the sendmail daemon, here's what grep tells me after the server is
started:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [/]# ps -aux | grep sendmail
smmsp 16473 0.0 0.1 3384 2276 ?? IsJ 4:47PM 0:00.00
sendmail: Queue [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue (sendmail
root 20951 0.0 0.1 3484 2480 ?? SsJ 5:37PM 0:00.00
sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail)
root 21303 0.0 0.0 1592 912 pn S+J 5:37PM 0:00.00 grep sendmail
And here's sockstat output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [/]# sockstat -l4
USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
root sendmail 20951 4 tcp4 <ip>:25 *:*
root syslogd 45182 6 udp4 <ip>:514 *:*
root sshd 60371 3 tcp4 <ip>:22 *:*
As you can see, sendmail is happily listening for all incoming
connections with the "NO" setting. If it would only listen on
localhost, then that would be the end of my problems. However,
remember that the jail environment doesn't have localhost. In other
words 127.0.0.1 does not refer to the jail. Loopback for me is the
server's wan ip (hey that rhymes :), which is why I think that not
having 127.0.0.1 may be confusing to sendmail.
