Hi Idan, You may want to run `nmap` on your mail host IP to see which processes are using which ports.
I'm not sure what the problem is but it could be that your firewall is blocking those ports. If you are using iptables you may try `iptables --flush` or even `/sbin/service iptables stop` to stop the firewall, then just for a short period, test your sendmail config again and then run `/sbin/service iptables restart`. Anyway, the spamassassin-users group is not the right mailing list. You may want to check out Linux-IL (linux.org.il) which is quite active. -- Ilan Aisic Pointer Software Systems, Ltd. > -----Original Message----- > From: Idan Plotnik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 12:48 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use > > > > Hi All, > > I install sendmail-8.12.8-4 on RedHat9, and everything is > working just fine (I am getting mail from the world), but > when I open the mailog file, I saw these error.
