Before staring your installation, you should read the release notes for your current release. https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/release-notes/x86/ Half way down the page, you'll run across this: "By default, the Sendmail mail transport agent (MTA) does not accept network connections from any host other than the local computer. If you want to configure Sendmail as a server for other clients, you must edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and change the DAEMON_OPTIONS line to also listen on network devices (or comment out this option entirely using the dnl comment delimiter). You must then regenerate /etc/mail/sendmail.cf by running the following command (as root): make -C /etc/mail Note that you must have the sendmail-cf package installed for this to work." Secondly, this is also documented in the Reference Guide in the section entitled "Common Sendmail Configuration Changes". https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-email-mta.html#S2-EMAIL-MTA-SENDMAIL It's in the big blue box with a star and marked "Important". -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
