Unfortunately I don't think a log was made but I think those packages you listed above were in it... along with the rest. ;) > I have a short HOWTO on allowing external connections to Sendmail and > setting up SMTP AUTH so you're not an open relay.

Do I have the wrong idea when I say SMTP AUTH will require that any sender to an email address in your domain has to have some kind of name and password to send mail? Let me clarify a little and maybe that will curb some confusion. This server is going to be meant mainly as a web server serving two sites. The only mail that will really be done by this will be outgoing (i.e. "Your order has shipped jackass!"). Some more info: I am using RAID5 on this install and did some symlinks (at the suggestion of someone else in a thread I started from long ago). Pine is throwing errors as well when I try to compose a message and send it. It says: [SMTP greeting failure: 421 SMTP connection went away!] Any ideas? Chris. p.s. If this gives me much more trouble I'm just going to start over. :\ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
