Subject: Re: Sendmail
I have tried changing the resolv.conf file to make sure that it points
to my IP Address, sendmail works but is rather slow, it takes
5 mins to
try and send a message.
you've been given advice on amending sendmail.mc and it's good advice.
However as much as I hate it when people say things such as "Dont use telnet ... use ssh" in this instance
I thoroughly recommend you move from sendmail to postfix if you can.
Well if Roger wishes to change from sendmail to postfix then by all
means . But if i might
say , by changing from sendmail to postfix he will not solve his problem
but he will evade
the problem .
Postfix is much smarter than sendmail
If i might again , could you please avoid such statements . They can
lead to chaos .
and will work out of the bag for most things,
Roger is not facing a bug . It's a misconfiguration problem i faced
sometime ago .
You see there are two files that must have the correct information in
order for
sendmail to succeed to qualify the Fully Qualified Domain Name( FQDN in
sort ) .
Namely ( Since it wasn't referenced before )
1. /etc/sysconfig/network
The Above named file must have a line stating
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
2. /etc/hosts
The above named file must have a line stating
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
In the above line localhost.localdomain is the FQDN and
localhost is the alias . Now a machine can have as many
aliases as it's administrator wishes for as long as they are
all listed here seperated by comas .
/etc/resolv.conf MUST NOT be changed .
/etc/resolv.conf is a file used by named the Name Resolver
Daemon , who is called in time of need .
and it's way easier than sendmail to configure if you want to.
Well i have heard that many times , so it must be true .
Just all IMHO, tell me to get stuffed if you like ;)
:)) Well nobody expected more than that ( your IMHO ) .
Nick .
