This worked fine after I edited the following line in my sendmail.cf From: O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA To: O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA The above resule can be achived by commenting out " DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')" from sendmail.mc and generating sendmail.cf using m4 after that. Thank you all for the timely and kind help :-) --nagarjuna -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Klinke Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 11:44 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: unblock port 25 On Wednesday 26 October 2005 12:55, Nagarjuna Rao Cherukuri wrote: > Hi, > > > > > Can anyone tell me how to enable port 25 in my server?
