not sure which version of sendmail that u r using... as the latest sendmail only listen to local, u may try to check yrs sendmail.mc file whether it is being disabled if not u have to do so and recompile yrs sendmail.cf... it shd look like below:
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') if u check thr previous email posted by Rodolfo regarding SMTP AUTH Micro-HOWTO v2, there is a steps on compiling sendmail.cf in fact, sendmail is the one to do mail relaying... imap is just an interface to access mail box... This is what i know.... hope it will help... rdgs, gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wesley Jay Deypalan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 3:56 PM Subject: Re: sendmail or imap server recieving mails? > > > Hi, > > I can telnet my mail server using telnet xxx.www.zzz.aaa 25 and my smtp > sendmail server will respond properly, problem is i cannot recieve emails. > what program will configure to recieve mails sendmail or imap?
