Sorry about not supplying a subject line. This web interface mail-thingy doesn't warn on empty subject. Here goes again....Try this $ telnet localhost 25
I have loaded RH9 on my RH8 box, and now I am having trouble getting sendmail to receive mail. It sends just fine. I use fetchmail (and a .
fetchmailrc file in /root) in a cron. I now get the following error:
.fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from smtp.tds.net
localhost, localhost.localdomain, are both in the access file and in the local-host-names, and I have as usual changed
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=192.168.0.3, Name=MTA')dnl
to remove the 127.0.0.1 and changed to the IP address above. Finally, /etc/sysconfig/sendmail has daemon=yes and queue=1h
So, there is something obvious I am missing. Can anyone help?
TIA

if it is refused ... then may be its denying relays. so u need to allow localhost to connect to smtp. otherwise simply put the
IP in the fetchmailrc file.
also u can use the daemon option instead of running fetchmail from cron. eg. set daemon 900 ( will poll every 900 seconds) ......
