View 7 Repliesi had a previous post regarding startup issues with sshkey generation here [URL]... now im stuck at the part after that where the starting sendmail line is, im starting to think that my ram is going to pieces on me because windows 7 and ram hungry games like mass effect ran just fine on the same machine 3 weeks ago... i ran a memory test off an ubuntu live 9.10 cd and it passed so idk whats going on here i've tried two distros and both strike out and i get stuck at startup and never even see that purdy gnome desktop.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using webmin for my daily tasks. I have fedora 13, whenever I click on ''Sendmail M4 Configuration'' or Outgoing Addresses (generics)'' I get the following error message
Quote:
The Sendmail M4 configuration base directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf was not found on your system, or is not the correct directory. Maybe it has not been installed (common for packaged installs of Sendmail), or the module config is incorrect. I read documentation at sendmail.org, it seems that structure of directories for send mail has been changed in version sendmail-8.1.4 shipped with FC13. In webmin config module we have
Quote:
Sendmail M4 base directory = /usr/share/sendmail-cf
which is not there. I did a locate / sendmail-cf on the command line, it finds nothing
I recently modified sendmail.cf to use a third party SMTP server to send emails. It works great. But when I run sendmail from the command line, I have to specify the -C flag and force feed it the location of my sendmail.cf, or else it doesn't work.
So in other words, the following works great:
However, if I don't specify the -C flag, sendmail doesn't consider what's in the sendmail.cf and barfs:
I don't run sendmail as a daemon. I'm only using it to send emails. I know my modifications of sendmail.cf are correct because it works perfectly when I use the -C flag. I searched my disk to see if I could find another sendmail.cf on the machine and only the one in /etc/mail came up.
Why sendmail is not reading my sendmail.cf?
I'm running Sendmail version 8.14.2 on Fedora Core 8.
On startup my machine (a PC a few years old with recent Fedora 13 clean install) seems to be OK until it tries to get to the Login GUI, where it stalls at the f/infinity Fedora logo. The last things I did before shutting down my computer last were uninstalling the mail client Evolution via the GUI package manager and downloading a torrent. Could these have effected such a stuff up? I'm not altogether clear on logging in via a terminal.

I am trying to setup a sendmail server on my dedicated server. It was pre-configured to use exim from cpanel. Is it possible to use exim for all emails from a a certain domain i setup on the server and sendmail for others?
ex.
domain1.com -> exim
domain2.com -> sendmail
If it is possible can someone let me know how i would go about doing this? If it is not how would i disable exim and use sendmail for all mail?
I have an application form (it's currently residing at [url] that needs to send an email to me.
I've installed sendmail and enabled it in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini using the
Code:
When I run mailq, I get errors such as
Code:
Sendmail is flat-out refusing to work on external domains. How the heck can I get this working?
The PHP is below.
Code:
I'm building a new machine with slackware 13.37 64bit and so far all has gone well except for secure smtp. My previous setup was with slackware 13.1 32bit which worked fine. If I run with (`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p y') in my sendmail config it shows "AUTH warning: no mechanisms" in my maillog and obviously fails to authenticate. When I take the 'p' out and run with (`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A y') then it does list the defined confAUTH_MECHANISMS and works. I would prefer to run with the 'p' option and require the security layer.
Most of my setup guidance has come from the "Sendmail SMTP AUTH Howto":
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-howto-224543/
The Sendmail "TLS SASL SMTP-AUTH" page on slackwiki:
http://www.slackwiki.org/Sendmail_TLS_SASL_SMTP-AUTH
And this page for debugging "How to test Sendmail SASL Authentication":

My hope is that I'm just missing something simple. Does anyone have insight into why adding the 'p' to confAUTH_OPTIONS is causing this behavior?

My goal is to be able to send mail remotely with secure authentication. If the way I'm trying to go about it is old and there is some newer/better way I'm happy to go with that - but sendmail/saslauthd has worked for me in the past.
Sendmail is version 8.14.4 and looks like it has the necessary options compiled in:
Code:
saslauthd is version 2.1.23 and supports shadow:
Code:
I did discover the need to link /etc/sasl2 to /usr/lib64/sasl2 and created the Sendmail.conf file there:
Code:
Here's the sendmail configuration script I'm using. Its really just the vanilla /usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf/sendmail-slackware-tls-sasl.mc file with my cert file names:
Code:
When I try to connect with (`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p y') in the config here is the output I get in maillog (none of the other logs seem to show anything and I dont see any errors/warnings when I restart sendmail):
Code:
If I change the option so its just (`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A y') then it does work and this is the log output I get:
Code:
My client is configured to use SSL and when I go through the setup, it does appear to authenticate against the smtp server and it validates. The fail comes in when trying to actually send mail.
Does anyone have insight into why adding the 'p' to confAUTH_OPTIONS is causing this behavior?
I have a setup with Centos 5.5, Nagios 3.2.3, sendmail 8.13.8. When a insident is happening Nagios notify-by-mail is triggered and Nagios sends via sendmail. Unfortunately there is a trailing $-sign added to the $CONTACTEMAIL. Sendmail cannot mail to xxx@mail.address$
A hack is to insert mailaddress in misccommands.cfg but I would like to have a more clean way.

I recently got a new HDD for my laptop. Did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. The install worked fine, updated everything with update manager. The problem: Sometimes the startup process fails, but this only occurs randomly. When startup fails I am left with a black screen with a line of strange pixelated red characters along the very top of the screen (they actually remind me of that old space-invaders game). This occurs before the boot-splash or login screen can appear. The system in this condition will not respond even to a REISUB command. It has to be hard-booted. Most of the time however, Ubuntu boots up fine with not a problem to be seen.
I also had this same error occur once when using the 10.04 live CD. (Please note: the cd is not the problem, I always check my md5 sums on downloads and verify burns).
I just installed Opensuse 11.2, and have come across the following error upon bootup: the display manager screen refuses to load, unless I type STARTX at the cli line. the error messages read: failed services in runlevel 5 /etc/init.d/xdm.orig start returned 6 earlyxdm postfix Further, I am unable to activate the xdm service under Yast. Has anyone else run across this error? Not sure how to resolve.

Now the drive that linux is installed on was literally formatted right then by the installer, so i'm not sure what the issue may be.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running Fedora 13 and updated the system in the morning with the help of 'yumex'. It complained about a couple of unresolved dependencies regarding new kernel and kmod-nvidia, so I manually skipped these packages for now (this happened before some time ago and worked then a couple of days later). I installed all other packages like firefox, thunderbird, kde, gnome pidgin etc. though.
I think I remember also to have seen some X11 stuff, but aren't quite sure (not updating often, so always getting quite a number of packages at once). The problem is that the system doesn't start any longer. The start screen shows the blue progress bar, then flickers and the system halts. I tried to start any of the last two older kernels but with the same result. When running in verbose mode I can see the following:
...
Checking for module nvidia.ko: [OK]
Enabling the nvidia driver: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 530: 1033 Segmentation fault "$@"
[FAILED]
...
There are a couple of more successful steps afterwards, but the system will never start. I tried a different runlevel by appending 'init 2' to the startup line, but wasn't able to login with any of my users. In despair I tried the link 'Updating to Fedora 13' from the boot menu, but it isn't actually offering an upgrade, but a complete re-install instead.
I have installed postfix and dovecot on my server and thought postfix will not only take SMTP connection from my e-mail client like Outlook, but also handles "mailx" commands from the server. However, it looks like sendmail is still responsible for sending mails from "mailx". I tested this by turning it on/off using "service sendmail stop" and "service sendmail start". Mails sent using "mailx" will only be sent when sendmail is up. When I did "yum info sendmail", it lists sendmail as an installed package. Is is safe to remove sendmail by running "yum erase sendmail", and let postfix handles "mailx" also?
