Re: sendmail-8.11.2-14

Didier,

2 Possible reasons:

1. IP Chains. What does ipchains -L report? Mail this to me privately.
2. Sendmail not configured to recieve mails: see below.

Check /etc/sendmail.cf

O DaemonPortOptions=port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1 Name=MTA

Addr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Should be the IP address you have advertised to the
world. The default (sneaky) is 127.0.0.1. Change it, and your mails will
fly in.

You need to execute

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart


I tried 

telnet cs-net.cd 25

It just hangs there! Traceroute cs-net.cd does trace to you. My
conclusion, it is more of IP chains, and of course, the SMTP daemon.

Good luck!
