Morning David, I have solved my problem! Just to recap for others I was having the following problem:
Messages in qfiles are not being posted, and I had this error in logs/smtp: "Dec 20 09:12:03 2001 (10830) All recipients refused: (111, 'Connection refused') Dec 20 09:12:03 2001 (10830) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.002 seconds" After checking everything many times and rebuilding Mailman etc it turns out that Sendmail was binding only to the loopback interface by default, so when Mailman tried to send out on localhost:25 the connection was refused as there was now smtp service bound to this port. Running 'netstat -a' or 'lsof -i | grep sendmail' gave: sendmail 24441 root 4u IPv4 32620009 TCP ns0.imagineinternet.co.uk:smtp (LISTEN) But we should see: sendmail 24441 root 4u IPv4 32620009 TCP *:smtp (LISTEN) if mailman is to work! Note last two fields showing localhost.localdomain:smtp in first example (rather than *:smtp)! To fix this you will need to tinker with /usr/share/sendmail-cf/cf/redhat.mc and look for: dnl This changes sendmail to only listen on the loopback device 127.0.0.1 dnl and not on any other network devices. Comment this out if you want dnl to accept email over the network. DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') Do what it suggests and comment (dnl) out the 'DAEMON_OPTIONS' line and save the file. Then 'make redhat.cf' and 'cp redhat.cf /etc/sendmail.cf' Every thing should then work! Good luck and Happy New Year!
