Hi Kapil I am novice to sendmail and unix stuff, but I beleive u are advising me to open a socket connection and listen on port 110 on my mail server for incomming mails.Qoute "Sendmail does not deliver mails to users"...please can u elaborate this?What I have found in books is that SendMail is a MTA handling distribution of outgoing mail and listening of incomming mail from the net.
Qoute "The program contacts the SMTP server on port 25 and issues relevent commands for sending out mails with the help of a MTA e.g. sendmail or qmail. ". Please can u explain this..?I beleive u r suggesting me to contact the destination MAIL SERVER on port 25( after finding DNS Server & MX Server..).Then use standard commands such as HELO, RCPT, MAIL etc.But aren't we bypassing sendmail here?.And if not please let me know how we are using sendmail here?
