Thanks for all the replies. I don't need telnetd running, and at this point all I want is to get sendmail to deliver a local mail through mail.local. Also I do not have sendmaild running since I will not be receiving mail on this machine.
Here is the problem: sendmail -v someuser < messageinfile someuser... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay... someuser... Deferred: connection refused by [127.0.0.1] Thanks for any help. -- Valmor >===== Original Message From Mike Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >On Monday 12 January 2004 17:41, Valmor de Almeida wrote: >> Hello list, >> >> On a recent installation of gentoo, the command >> >> telnet localhost >> >> returns >> >> Trying 127.0.0.1... >> telnet: unable to connect to remote host: connection refused >> >> This problem seems to be pertinent to another problem I am >> having in configuring sendmail. > >Nope, the error you're getting is a good thing, and nothing to do with >sendmail. >All it means is you don't have a telnet daemon running. > >- -- >Mike Williams >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- >Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) > >iD8DBQFAAuHIInuLMrk7bIwRAntXAJ4hG9nFxAZdFWxiABeNXM9aIFXyeACgroCs >qgxNT+LgCzSupmIY7JZ5mdo= >=1HwF >-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > >-- >[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
