under 7.2 the sendmail daemon actually only listens on 127.0.0.1 when it comes out of the box.
you need to amend DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') probably to: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA') in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc Then run: m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf to make it listen on all IP addresses.

OK I read ahead for the replies but every one of them missed the point. Fetchmail in this case is picking up mail OK from the pop server but then tries to deliver mail locally. It does this by making an SMTP connection to the local sendmail. In this case you've somehow denied the local machine from doing this. Please adjust your /etc/mail/access file here's mine which I think is the default. (I went from RH7.0 to 7.1 to 7.2 using upgrades). # Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf file for a description # of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file) # The /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc # package. # # by default we allow relaying from localhost... localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY Note you could also add 192.168.1. RELAY to allow your local workstations to RELAY (ie send email) through this machine assuming you're using 192.168.1.x addresses. After you make changes in /etc/mail it's usually a good idea to run 'make' within that directory. This should cure your problem. Other possible stuffups could include /etc/sysconfig/sendmail having DAEMON=no instead of DAEMON=yes, or simply not having sendmail running but I think it is running in daemon mode in your case. Also, check over /etc/mail/local-host-names if you're doing multiple domains. (It's the old /etc/sendmail.cw just moved. It has one domain per line.) -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
