Yes sorry, I send few information. Actually, I've done a simple configuration. I've configured sendmail to listen on my internet connected ethernet card and allow sendmail to receive mail. I've tested and it receives mail from any external account (hotmai, yahoo, lycos, etc.....) and internal mail too. I've done masquerading necesary to allow my machine act as mail gateway: FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain') FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope') FEATURE(`allmasquerade') MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.org.') MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`mydomain.org.') MASQUERADE_AS(mydomain.org) It send's local email but when trying to send mail to an external account it doesn't works. This is the message it gives me when trying to send to a hotmail account, very similar (exactly except for the mail accounts and server addresses) when sending to other external accounts. Oct 13 18:31:05 host sendmail[5577]: h9DMSftY004666: to=<mail@xxxxxxxxxxx>, ctladdr=<user@xxxxxxxxxx> (0/0), delay=01:02:24, xdelay=00:12:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=120336, relay=mx1.hotmail.com. [65.54.166.99], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with mx1.hotmail.com. It looks like dns is working ok, but for some reason it can't deliver. I've already tried shutting down my firewall and nothing change. Any ideas ? Extra sendmail configuration ? I'm really new using and configuring sendmail. ;) Thank you ------- Original message ------- From: Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2003 08:25:29 -0500 Subject: Re: Sendmail configuration On Mon, Oct 13, 2003 at 02:03:52AM +0100, David Smith wrote: > Hi > > I wanna know what I > have to do or > configure to allow > sendmail to send > mail to any account > on the internet ?? > > I already configured > sendmail to receive > email from the > internet but it > doesn't deliver > emails to addresses > outside the domain > my machine handles. > > Thank you ! > > SIZE does matter - The UK's biggest *Free* Web based mail - 10 MB Free > mail.lycos.co.uk > I assume you mean that you configured sendmail.mc and then produced a new sendmail.cf. Is that correct? And hosts.allow is set up properly. Is that also correct? We need some more details about you actually did. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list SIZE does matter - The UK's biggest *Free* Web based mail - 10 MB Free mail.lycos.co.uk
