I have been trying to set up ssmtp so I can send email using Gmail's ssmtp servers. However, when I try to send mail (using mailx), I get the following message:
Code:
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed
Here's the last line from dmesg (the only one applicable, according to the timestamps and message content):
Code:

When I use sendmail (or, most commonly, a PHP or Perl script uses it) to send to any other domain except my own, it works great. When I use it to send to my own domain, however, it's trying to deliver it to localhost. Problem is, all our mail is handled by an Exchange server on a different machine, so I really don't want If I run sendmail manually for a test message to myself, here's how it comes up after the message is closed out:
Code:
echo "Subject: test" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -v me@domain.com
354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
>>> .
050 <me@domain.com>... Connecting to local...
[code]...
The message then gets dropped into my box at /var/mail/xxxx, but that's really not helpful to me -- I need to to connect to that other machine to deliver the mail there. This machine isn't used as a mail server at all. Also, if it's trying to send to a username that doesn't have an account on this server (we have many), it just fails entirely with "user unknown" (that makes sense, as there are only a couple of user accounts on the web server). how to get sendmail to connect to our mail server instead of "local"?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have configured Evolution to use my Gmail account. I am able to read my Gmail, but I have not been able to send email. I have found instructions to do this from several sources, which include the Gmail website and Ubuntu help at HTML Code: [URL]. The instructions from all sources have been consistent:
Instructions for Sending(smtp) Mail from Gmail:
1. Server: smtp.gmail.com
Note: Some ISPs block port 25, if you are having a problem sending mail, substitute smtp.gmail.com:587 for the server information above.
2. Server requires authentication: Checked
3. Security: TLS encryption
4. Authentication: Plain or Login
5. Username: johndoe@gmail.com
I have also tried using port 587 and 465 as alternates. When I try to send an email, there appears to be two stages: it successfully completes the first stage that refers to POP, but gets stuck on the second stage that refers to SMTP.
I would like to send emails form my server using my gmail account.Does anybody know how to do it?
OS = OPENSUSE 11.3 server installation - NO GUI....
Regarding few things I am facing problem :
1. How to send one copy of that outgoing mail generated from the source. It should cc to another mail id in server's backend while mail sending.
2. I don't have any domain - internally or externally. Only have static ip, accessible from outside. Can I configure sendmail to send-receive through that ip.
3. How to transfer all mails and addressbook from exchange server to linux sendmail server.
I have a lot of emails on hotmail and gmail that I want to store in text or html files on my local Fedora computer for future reference. Is there a way I can download them to my hard drive without doing it one email at a time with the browser's Save Page As feature or some such thing? There has to (?) be a better way.
Every mail program should have an easy-to-use 'mass' export-to-text-file feature so that people are not held hostage to a particular email service or program. The lack of such a feature in email programs I've used is one of my pet peeves. It seems rather tyrannical and abusive. (Now before someone tells me it's a free service, please remember all the advertisements I have to go through to use the service). I do not have an email account through an ISP. I live with my landlord who deals with the ISP. I only use hotmail and gmail (and, rarely, yahoo).
the sendmail packages on my f15 server were updated from 8.14.4-20 to 8.14.5-1 yesterday. since then, every attempt to send mail via a smart relay have failed with :

I recently received an email from a friend without subject and just a link. Since we do that a lot, I clicked on it. I was taking to a website that looks like a phishing site and my computer hard drive started working feverishly. I closed it quickly.
First, I want you guys to be aware of this thing since it seems to be fairly new.
Second, I want to know if I have been compromised. I already changed the password on my gmail account and I accessed the site using Ubuntu and Firefox.

I'm writing a script that will send an alert email given certain conditions. I have the impression that sendmail is what I need to do that. I just don't know how to use sendmail at all. I assume I have to set it up like a typical mail client so that it has a mail server to log into to send from.
I've looked through the man pages, but I can't find anything in plain English there on how to set it up, or how to use it once it is set up.
I had configured sendmail on linux 5.2, Iam using public ip and my domain is registered[linuxforfreshers.info].

I have an issue with sendmail. I need to configure sendmail to send email from command prompt to any domain. This is just for the notification purpose. I installed sendmail and sendmail-cf and sm-client. The following are the configuration I have done.

1) dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
2) m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

I have the following problem with sendmail on F14 (had the same on F13 already):
I have a network setup using bridging which is controlled through traditional ifup/ifdown (because NetworkManager can't handle bridging). My sendmail configuration differs from the Fedora default only by having a SMART_HOST relay. The queueing interval in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail is the default (1h).
When my network connection is up, sendmail normally sends email through the relay immediately. Sometimes I have to interrupt the connection for a few minutes. When my network connection is down, sendmail starts queueing email (OK this far). When the network connection comes back up, I'd expect sendmail to restart sending mail through the relay again. But sometimes, that doesn't happen. Instead, sendmail keeps queueing my mail infinitely (I have seen it happen for several days) until I finally notice that my email isn't received, and run sendmail -q by hand (by that time, my boss is already angry that I'm not responding to his email). In that state, even new mail is queued rather than forwarded by sendmail. It appears that the only way to stop that behavior is to restart the sendmail service.
I'm running Evolution 2.30.3 on fc13.x64 and I've been getting a funny problem for a while, that now really annoys me:
even if the settings for my hotmail account are correct, Evolution will ask for the password every time I log in. Also, since I keep it open, after a while (~30 minutes) it "forgets" somehow the password and asks for the password again. This time, anyway, it won't work and I have to reset Evolution again.
Bonus question: even if hotmail is configured correctly for receiving and sending (smtp.live.com etc.), it won't send email, but will remain stuck on "sending".
