I'm running sendmail 8.14.3 on fedora 10 and I need help understanding how to work with listening ports. I have two machines which I will call "A" and "B". "A" has two NICs: eth0 is connected to the outside, and "B" is connected to eth1 on "A". "A" is the sendmail server for the domain and is the SMART_HOST for "B". In addition, "A" is the server for a couple of lists (all legit, thank you) which sends about 500K messages out per month and gets about 500 in per day. The list manager running on "A" was configured to send to localhost:24, and the mail client I personally run on "A" uses localhost:25. I recently tightened a few things up in my sendmail.mc to prevent incoming mail with a large number of recipients. I did this by setting: define(`confMAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE', `20')dnl which for me makes sense. (Am I wrong?) :-( In addition, my sendmail.mc contains: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=MTA') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`address=localhost, Port=24, Name=NCMSA, M=EC') The submit.mc is stock and has FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl Then I found out that when I tried to send a personal message to a larger list of people, my MUA failed with 'Too many recipients". I think I know what I want to do (though I could be wrong). * I want all local messages to be processed by submit.mc instead of by sendmail.mc * I want sendmail.mc to only listen on port 25 of eth0 * I want submit.mc to listen on port 25 and port 24 of localhost. The idea is to get people on the outside to conform to restrictions but to not impose those restrictions to us good guys on the inside. I did try to move the line that said DAEMON_OPTIONS Port=24 to the submit.mc This did not work. When I tried to telnet localhost 24 604 > telnet localhost 24 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused Am I trying to do something that is a good idea? Can someone tell me how to do it if it is? Do I need to provide more information? Thanks. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
