Anthony E. Greene has given me an excellent reply. But unfortunately, I could not make it work. I am using Redhat 9.0. I went to /etc/mail to locate the sendmail.mc and sendmail.cf Then I edited the sendmail.mc and commented out the option of "Daemon Mailer". Then I ran m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf It did not run. Instead, it gave me a message "Cannot open /usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4" I peeped into /usr/share but did not find anything dealing with sendmail. So, Please a little more help is required, to make this solution work. bye shiraz >Yes, you are right. Presnetly, it is only listening to >127.0.0.1 and not to outside hosts. The question is >how will it listen to connections from other hosts? >>Edit sendmail.mc to comment out the DAEMON_OPTIONS >>line. Then rebuild >>sendmail.cf and restart sendmail: >> m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf >> service sendmail restart __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
