I've gotten myself into a pickle of sorts through recent upgrades and reformats. I have a seemingly well functioning Redhat Fisher distro upgraded to kernel 2.4.2 except for local sendmail. Somehow, while using the Bastille hardening scripts to shore up security (yes, I know, I should learn to do that by hand), I've managed to make it impossible to recieve mail locally. I'm running sendmail 8.11.2 and I'm able to send outbound just fine. While I'm on our office 192.168.X.X ip, I'm unable to sned out to anyone with our domain name. While I'm up over ppp, I can send anywhere. But never do I recieve. Fetchmail says it's flushing messages off the server, byut my root mailbox is full of mails that say "sendmail port denial notification localhost." And, indeed, when I look at /var/log/maillog, there are repeating sequences that indicate more or less the same thing allbeit more verbosely. What port did I neglect to open while doing the Bastille thing? I have 25, 53, 110. I think those are the relevant ones?. Are there more that should be open? Or am I looking in the wrong place?
