We have RHEL 5 version,after configure sendmail.mc ,dovecote configure file, and dovecote enable,iptables -F,selinux is off. and telnet server 110 , working fine , but telnet server 25 connection refuse,
By default, SMTP servers on RHEL systems only listen to localhost, not the network interface. Chances are you need to put "dnl " in front of the line "DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl" in your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc ... run m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and restart sendmail
Before you do this, try : telnet localhost 25 If that answers, then the above fix should work. Barry -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
