I am bringing up a Redhat 8.0 mail server with Sendmail. Named is running on the box and name resolution works. I can get to the web and Nslookup resolves. I can receive email after changing the DAEM_OPTIONS port=smtp, Addr=my IP address so that it is listening on port 25 for mail connections. I used the M4 utility to make the change.
In the Network configuration I have two NIC cards and the loopback 127.0.0.1.
My problem is I can not send mail. I get the following error in the log.
Jun 9 09:01:28 free sm-msp-queue[13168]: h59G1Sik013168: to=root, delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=31873, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred:
Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
I can see that it is picking up the loop back address which maybe the problem. Having
never built a Linux mail server before though I don't know. Is there a place where I
change the loop back address or how the mail goes out to the network interface IP
address so the mail can get out?
Thanks.
