Thanks for your help with this, I am learning quite a bit as we go.
ps -aeef | grep mail and
ps -aeef | grep master
return nothing. Also, /var/log/maillog.1 has entries similar to what is below. Do I need to just open port 25 or enable the mail service, or both?? TIA.
Feb 12 04:02:01 RHESSV2 sendmail[31843]: g1C951vrB031843: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=34082, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
This would indicate that sendmail is not actually listening, you need to
do the netstat commands in order to verify this (ps -ef tells you
processes but you may (or in this case) may not be running a different
daemon, as in my example, "tcpserver" would not show up in your grep as
above)
The log message suggests that you are not actually running an MTA and
this is your problem.
(mailer=relay and relay=[127.0.0.01] as well as "connection refused by
[127.0.0.1] indicate the mailer is trying to use SMTP as a transport and
failing as you are not running a listening MTA)
netstat -an | grep LIST | grep :25
If the above returns something then
netstat -anp | grep LIST | grep :25
Otherwise the problem is you are not running the MTA, try
service sendmail start
