The above command gives [root@grover mail]# netstat -lpnt | grep :25 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 27501/sendmail I'm using sendmail on this server, and I previously modified sendmail.mc as follows: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Name=MTA')dnl (afterwards running /etc/mail/make and re-starting the sendmail service). I take it from the result of your command that sendmail on the server is only listening to localhost? I should say that this is not a vital issue for me. I was just trying to send the gtube spam test string to the server to test SpamAssassin (which is working, but not as well as I would like). If I send the message to my email address, it goes to my ISP's server, which not surprisingly rejects it. I realise now I could, and probably should, have sent the email directly from the server rather than from my laptop. When I do this I see that it is rejected with an SA score of 997.1 which seems like overkill! This worked when sent (with "mail") to tim , tim@localhost , tim@localhost.localdomain and tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx , but not when sent to tim@grover or tim@xxxxxxxxxxxx . It also works in exactly the same cases when I undid the change to sendmail.mc (and compiled and re-started sendmail). -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
