RE: smart_host on sendmail min config
Why are you not using the supplied scripts and configuration knobs to start Sendmail? It works just fine for 99% of FreeBSD users (my guess), so what makes your environment so special that your needs cannot be met without custom scripts? /Daniel Eriksson ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Happy hacking :) I'm not interested in rewriting `/etc/rc.d/sendmail' from scratch, so other than a few pointers like the following, I'm out of the thread: here is the complete transcript of my last attempt to actually send something: [...] monster-freebsd# sendmail -bd -q1m Here you started a sendmail process which listens for connections to *all* interfaces. That's probably ok if you plan to accept incoming SMTP connections on _any_ interface, i.e. because you are running a Sendmail server accessible from outside. On my laptop this would be replaced by: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L smtpd -bd -q30m \ -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost Note the use of the -O flag to make sure Sendmail is only listening on the localhost:25 port for mail submission requests. Then you have to start a *second* Sendmail instance, to flush the local `clientmqueue' and forward the messages you see as `Deferred' when you run the `mailq -Ac' command: monster-freebsd# mailq -Ac /var/spool/clientmqueue (8 requests) - -Q-ID- --Size-- -Q-Time- - Sender/Recipient--- lBAEQDUM0772289 Mon Dec 10 09:26 aryeh (Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now you have to run a second Sendmail instance, i.e. with: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L mailq -Ac -q10m NOTE: The `smtpd' and `mailq' arguments to the -L options are not the standard names FreeBSD assigns to these processes. They are just the ones I use on my laptop. Since you are using a custom, local sendmail startup script, that's about the best I can write to get you kickstarted. For more help with the way Sendmail operates, you can always refer to the ``Sendmail(TM) Installation and Operation Guide''. A copy of the guide is conveniently installed by the FreeBSD installation process at: /usr/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/* Good luck with the startup scripts.

Your DNS is broken, and Sendmail cannot resolve `monster-freebsd'. That's not a Sendmail issue, so I'm ignoring that for now. Doesn't need dns. /etc/hosts will be fine. BUT he also needs to put the proper name in /etc/rc.conf. Perhaps monster-freebsd.local would take care of that. The refusal to accept mail by the local IP 127.0.0.1 is because there is no FQDN - but you don't need to have it in DNS. monster-freebsd# mailq -Ac # very long pause /var/spool/clientmqueue (8 requests) - -Q-ID- --Size-- -Q-Time- - Sender/Recipient--- lBAEQDUM0772289 Mon Dec 10 09:26 aryeh (Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]) [EMAIL PROTECTED] No submission service running. You have to start at least some process which listens on 127.0.0.1:25 for incoming email requests and a queue runner for clientmqueue. I haven't seen any ps xauwww output for the Sendmail processes you are currently running, so no idea why you don't have a listener on 127.0.0.1:25. Since the local server is refusing it, that's because of the no proper domain name 'monster-freebsd'. The submission service could be running, but since the system doesn't know it's own name it wont receive mail. He should also have 'localhost' in /etc/mail/local-host-names [or whatever it is refereneced by in the sendmail.cf, and then also add the monster-freebsd.local to that file too. If there is nothing in the local-host-names the system won't know the mail is destined to the local machine.

Then you need to replicate what `/etc/rc.d/sendmail' does. You have the code to that script, you also have `/etc/defaults/rc.conf' as a guide of the defaults supported by FreeBSD. Happy hacking :) I'm not interested in rewriting `/etc/rc.d/sendmail' from scratch, so other than a few pointers like the following, I'm out of the thread: here is the complete transcript of my last attempt to actually send something: [...] monster-freebsd# sendmail -bd -q1m Here you started a sendmail process which listens for connections to *all* interfaces. That's probably ok if you plan to accept incoming SMTP connections on _any_ interface, i.e. because you are running a Sendmail server accessible from outside. On my laptop this would be replaced by: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L smtpd -bd -q30m \ -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost Note the use of the -O flag to make sure Sendmail is only listening on the localhost:25 port for mail submission requests. Then you have to start a *second* Sendmail instance, to flush the local `clientmqueue' and forward the messages you see as `Deferred' when you run the `mailq -Ac' command: monster-freebsd# mailq -Ac /var/spool/clientmqueue (8 requests) - -Q-ID- --Size-- -Q-Time- - Sender/Recipient--- lBAEQDUM0772289 Mon Dec 10 09:26 aryeh (Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now you have to run a second Sendmail instance, i.e. with: /usr/sbin/sendmail -L mailq -Ac -q10m NOTE: The `smtpd' and `mailq' arguments to the -L options are not the standard names FreeBSD assigns to these processes. They are just the ones I use on my laptop. Since you are using a custom, local sendmail startup script, that's about the best I can write to get you kickstarted. For more help with the way Sendmail operates, you can always refer to the ``Sendmail(TM) Installation and Operation Guide''. A copy of the guide is conveniently installed by the FreeBSD installation process at: /usr/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/* Good luck with the startup scripts. I don't really understand why you insist on rewriting something which works(TM), is featureful and easy to extend, like the rc.d scripts, but that's besides the point :-) - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
