Usually when 'sendmail' is in a subject line, one can usually expect Giorgos respond :) Thanks Steve, I'm honored by the confidence :) I've been having network connectivity issues and fell a lot back in my email backlog. I'm back online, with a better setup now, so things will start improving I guess. This is not a Sendmail issue, per-se. You are right about that. The original email by Duane Winner said: I need help to resolve a problem with my sendmail server. In my /var/log/maillog, I've been seeing: sm-mta[1753]: l9H4EoAn001753: outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com [69.89.17.210] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to IPv4 This usually means that there is an incoming connection from the host outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com, whose IP address is 69.89.17.210, but the connection was lost before the host managed to issue any commands to deliver email, query for alias expansion, and so on. Whenever I've seen this happening, it is usually some sort of network setup error, broken routing, a misconfigured router in the path between the originating host (outbound-mail-10.bluehost.com) and Sendmail, or something similar. If we can take this back one step to re-evaluate the entire situation it may help: - what is the domain you are seeing issues with (are there more than one? If so, are they on the same box/IP?) - what IP is this domain's mail operating on - examples of domains you see problems with, and examples of those you don't - is it only mailing lists you have problems with - do you receive this email I am sending on the problematic server Do you have another site that you can confirm working/not working? Good points :) Duane, can you respond to the questions of Steve above? They will at least provide us with hints to start troubleshooting this better. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

strange sendmail problems
Hello, I experienced a strange problem with sendmail on FreeBSD 6.1 which happened during a routing problem on a network which isolated my network from the outside. On five out of seven boxes my logs started to show (capital names used to hide real ones) : Aug 30 15:53:13 MYHOST sm-mta[6247]: l7UAqbOp091438: [EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=03:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=618410, relay=MYMAILER.MYDOMAIN., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server: MYMAILER.MYDOMAIN.: host name lookup failure Running an MX query with nslookup on MYHOST was correctly giving MYDOMAIN mail exchanger = 1 MYMAILER.MYDOMAIN. and 'host MYMAILER.MYDOMAIN' was correctly resolving the name. The problem did not show up on two boxes. All boxes run 6.1 and have default sendmail configurations. The only difference that I can see is that the two unaffected boxes run dhclient while the affected ones have static IP but I don't how it could affect the issue. Any idea what could explain this?

Do the following: cd /etc/mail rm *.cf make install make start Your sendmail.cf file is generated from a *.mc file in that directory.

SSH and Sendmail problems w/ld-elf.so.1 after upgrade
Greetings, Last night, I performed a binary upgrade on two servers from 4.11 to 6.2. Both servers appeared to have identical configurations, apart from small differences like perl modules and the like. I built one of them myself a few years ago; a former co-worker built the other while I was on vacation, and I have no way to reach him to determine what he may have done differently. Both upgrades appeared to work without any trouble. The server I originally built is operating normally. The server my former co- worker built is having problems with SSH and Sendmail (and possibly other things I haven't yet discovered). Attempting to ssh into the new box results in: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused Watching ssh -d I see: debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: private host key: #0 type 2 DSA debug1: rexec_argv[0]='/usr/sbin/sshd' debug1: rexec_argv[1]='-d' debug1: Bind to port 22 on ::.

sendmail problems
Hi gurus, I don't know wether this problem have come up beore, so here it goes... After a fresh installing and rebooting, the sendmail takes around 1 min and 10 sec to load. Then everytime it starts up, it takes the same amount of time to load. Is that normal? The hardware is a PIII 500 with 256MB of ram. I'm asking this because I'm not encountering this with my FreeBSD laptop. TIA guys =) Btw, FreeBSD = FreeBSD4.9 - JPSNAP (latest stable snapshot at that time) Thx.

Sendmail is trying to get the FQDN for all of your network interfaces, but the appropriate data is not available in the DNS, which forces sendmail to wait for the entire DNS timeout (30s per server usually) in order to confirm that. If you look at /var/log/maillog you will see that sendmail says as much in its log output. Reading the system log should be just about your *first* response to a daemon process misbehaving. Either get the correct data entered into the DNS or put domain names -- that is with at least one dot in the name -- into /etc/hosts.

FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE + UW-IMAP + Sendmail problems.
Hi, I run what has, until recently, been a fairly stable and reliable mail server setup. On about the 12th of September, the server and its DNS was offline due to a large DDoS. When the machine came alive again, everything appeared to be working fine. Currently, another almost identical server that was also similarly affected by the DDoS is functioning perfectly. On the 14th, users suddenly started having troubles checking their email using POP3. Login attempts would time out. Investigation of /var/log/maillog showed several interesting messages, such as (of course, hostnames and IP addresses have been changed): Sep 18 09:58:10 wgservices ipop3d[10310]: Command stream end of file while reading line user=stan host=[10.0.0.22] Sep 18 15:06:45 wgservices ipop3d[13566]: Auth user=wgs host=[10.0.0.12] nmsgs=0/0 Sep 18 15:06:45 wgservices ipop3d[13566]: Connection reset by peer while reading line user=wgs host=[10.0.0.12] Sep 18 09:37:11 wgservices ipop3d[10060]: Error opening or locking INBOX user=wgs host=UNKNOWN Sep 18 09:37:11 wgservices ipop3d[10060]: Login user=wgs host=UNKNOWN no mailbox Sep 18 09:37:11 wgservices ipop3d[10060]: Logout user=wgs host=UNKNOWN nmsgs=5 ndele=0 The confusing thing for me is that other users, such as myself, can check their mail using POP3 perfectly. Only some accounts seem to be unable to do so. I tried looking for and removing lock files, checking disk-free space, installing and using qpopper, and even went as far as removing one user's account and readding it - but this had no impact on the problem. Why ipop3d seems unable to determine the host of a machine on the LAN is a bit puzzling - it should be 10.0.0.22. When I telnet to the POP3 server from a remote site, I appear to be able to access it normally: Trying 150.101.whatever... Connected to mail.whatever.com Escape character is ''. +OK POP3 whatever.com v2003.83 server ready user wgs +OK User name accepted, password please pass correctpassword +OK Mailbox open, 0 messages quit +OK Sayonara Connection closed by foreign host. Does anyone have any ideas what this problem is caused by and how it can be fixed? We're using Sendmail in conjunction with Mailscanner, Sophos antivirus, and Spamassassin, and the Eudora and Mozilla mail clients. Several machines check the same accounts (rather than having an alias - not my ideal, but I'm just the monkey that does what's asked). Apparently, similar problems can be caused by clients such as Outlook Express (which we don't use) failing to disconnect cleanly from the server, or something like that.

Sendmail problems with a Verizon relay
Hey all. I recently got some great help here setting up sendmail to authorize against my ISP mail relay. The problem I am just noticing is that when I send mail, it looks like the Reply-To: or From header is getting rewritten. Take a look at it in this message. The Reply-To: header should say [EMAIL PROTECTED] The From: header should say [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chances are it says [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the behavior I'm trying to fix. I don't know if it's in my sendmail.mc or at the verizon relay. Here are the relevant parts (I think) of my sendmail.mc: FEATURE(relay_based_on_MX) FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable') FEATURE(`nocanonify') TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN') define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN') define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp:outgoing.verizon.net') MASQUERADE_AS(outgoing.verizon.net) FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) FEATURE(`authinfo', `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo') Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Sendmail problems with a Verizon relay
Uh, I think I found the problem. Very silly to be telling sendmail to Masquerade as outgoing.verizon.net when I don't want to masquerade as outgoing.verizon.net. I simply changed this line: MASQUERADE_AS(outgoing.verizon.net) to this: dnl MASQUERADE_AS(outgoing.verizon.net) effectively removing it from sendmail.mc. Rebuild sendmail.cf and restart sendmail, and that's it. I hope this helps someone else avoid the same silly mistake. Lou On 11/15/02 10:28 AM, Louis LeBlanc sat at the `puter and typed: Hey all.
