I suggest you check your sendmail.cf. I encountered this problem, and found if sendmail.cf contained:
# SMTP daemon options O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA Sendmail would only listen on 127.0.0.1. You need to change it to 0.0.0.0, so it reads: # SMTP daemon options O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA If you then completely stop/start sendmail (if it is a resident daemon), and it should work. Bill. PS: Of course, editting your sendmail.mc file and m4'ing it again would be better - this is meant as a quick fix. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Blakey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 6:22 PM Subject: SENDMAIL? > Hi, > > I'm having a bit of bother accessing my SMTP server (SENDMAIL) from external > sites.
