Hi again Adam... Well, your evidence has proven Pete's answer as the correct situation to the problem.. Here's what he said to you, this should fix your problem then I believe...
*SNIP* Did you make the DAEMON_OPTIONS change mentioned in the release notes? Your sendmail.cf should *NOT* have this line: --- O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA --- If it does, you can either delete it or change the .mc file from DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') to: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') and rebuild sendmail.cf. *END SNIP* ( Thanks Pete...:-) ) Robert Toth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Adam vonNieda Sent: January 17, 2002 2:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Sendmail connection refused Folks, Here's some output.. I'm not familiar with ipchains. This box is not supposed to be a firewall, so I'd be fine with not using ipchains at all. Looks like it's set wide open anyhow, is it not?
