Server :: How To Get Sendmail To Connect Rackspace Using Smarthost
Nov 10, 2010
Has anyone got sendmail to connect to Rackspace using smarthost? I've setup rackspace as a smarthost in my sendmail.cf. I have a authinfo in my /etc/mail directory. It connects to smtp.emailsrvr.com (rackspace server) but I get the 'service unavailable' in the maillog. Rackspace says that they can see me sending mails but that they're not seeing the login and password. Not sure if they're right about that or not.

I have been following this guide (I went through it twice actually): [URL] Since bellsouth blocks port 25 (except to their smarthost) I set up postfix with the option "internet site with smarthost" (not sure if that was exact wording). The final goal of this is to set up a couple mailing lists. When I try to test it I get:
Code:
joel@themis:~$ telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

My employer has started the process of certification with Return Path, and I've been roped in to setting up DKIM, SPF, SenderID etc. so that we are compliant with the certification requirements. Our current e-mail server is qmail, and I'm really not too keen on messing about with the configuration files there. As a safer alternative, I've decided to set up a smarthost relay that only does the DKIM signing. I tried and gave up on Postfix - struggled with understanding the configuration files - and eventually found Exim.
Now, I've got the relaying working perfectly so far. I am NOT running an open relay, my smarthost is configured to only accept SMTP connections from the existing mailserver, and not publicly accessible anyway. The problem I'm having is figuring out exactly where in exim's configuration file I am supposed to configure the DKIM signing options. I've read the official exim documentation and I'm fairly sure about the syntax, I just can't figure out where the options go.

I have CentOS 5 + Sendmail within the local network with Smarthosting settings. How my Laptops users will connect my local Sendmail server for sending / receiving e-mails while out of the office network. I have router but no firewall in place in local network.

I 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.

I have a RHEL 4.5 with Postfix 2.2.10 configured as a smart host for an Exchange 2003 server. Its been running well for three years like this. We have some users that are configured with alternate SMTP addresses for a secondary email domain in Exchange. One user is not getting his email for the secondary SMTP. All the others are. After some digging, the maillog indicates Postfix is not relaying his email to Exchange but to the Postfix local mail folder under /var/spool/mail. What in the configuration would cause this? His email is in the relay_recipients file as the others are.

I recently setup an email server on Fedora Core (14). Sendmail is running and I am trying to authenticate from a client pc using imaps. I installed Cyrus-imap and it is running and listening on 993. When I try to login, it doesn't accept authentication even though I verified the user's password is correct. (tested with ssh)Is there something I have to do with Cyrus or on the server to allow connections to email? I have not used Cyrus before. I am attempting to access my mail folders via Sendmail and did not make mailboxes in Cyrus. I did allow imaps through the firewall.

After searching the forum I could not find a clear answer to my question so I am giving it a try...
I have installed a LAMP server with Postfix as mail server. The scripts send email as user www-data using the mail server on the same machine.
However, the email got rejected by external mail servers (failed reverse DNS check) so I setup a mail server that meets all needed requirements.
Now I would like to use this second server instead of the mail server on the LAMP server. I found that this could be done with changing sendmail settings in php.ini (I think).
However I am not sure how that will go: www-data is no actual user on the new email server (which requires authentication before sending). Do I need to create a new user on the email server or change the settings in php.ini to match an existing user?

We're running a sendmail server on a fedora core 9 which we've configured recently. The problem is, the server is working fine but there are some e-mails that enter our server but doesn't get forwarded to the user.

Here it says "stat=Sent" but nothing from the above mail address has been received on the client's inbox. We've experienced this with Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Thunderbird alike so far with Two(2) of our user accounts.

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'm setting up a full server configuration on Fedora, moving it from Mandriva which sadly faces a rather uncertain future. Things are going well and I will be ready (and more familiar with Fedora) in time to upgrade to Fedora 15.
What I have done so far in regard to networking setup:
I first removed Network Manager and replaced it with the network service (chkconfig --level 25 network on). That put an end to the overwriting of /etc/hosts, which now reads simply:

Having some issues setting up sendmail on a (basically) blank RHEL 5.5 server setup. My ultimate goal is to be able to automagically send logs / errors / notifications to ourselves from the server.
Our basic setup is a Win 2003 domain with exchange running on mail.domain.com.au.
I've edited the '/etc/mail/sendmail.mc' and added the :
Code:
line to it.
Also added the domain (domain.com.au) to the '/etc/mail/local-host-names' files
Also edited submit.mc and added
Code:
When I try and send a mail from root or a test user to one of the domain accounts, it seems to go fine, i.e no errors are reported but it never gets delivered.
From the mail logs:
Code:
So it seems to be sent to the queue no problems and when I check the queue :
Code:
Total requests: 0
Not nothing ever gets received. Am I missing something? I have read and read and read but dont seem to be getting any furthur.
So in the end this server doesn't need to do anything except be able to send mail from root to an external mail address.

I am trying to set up a mail server on centos5 using sendmail and dovecot, and eventually spamassassin and some antivirus filter as well. I'd also like to get the proper secure auth mechanism set up at some point too. But for starters, I've been having a lot of difficulty trying to even connect to the mail server from a client computer in the local network. I installed Eudora on the client and after some tweaking in dovecot I was able to connect to the mail server, but then when I try to send an email I get a "connection refused" error, with nothing being logged on the server that I can see.
The last time I set up a mail server was Fedora Core 2, so the configuration files have changed a bit to say the least, and I can't really refer back to those to set up this new server. Does anybody know of a good step-by-step doc on getting the mail server going? I've read the man pages and other various readme's, but these really only list out the available options with no really good explanation of what needs to be done to get the mail server going. If there isn't a full write-up on how to do this, I'll put something together when I'm finished so others can use it in the future.

I've got a server set up with Debian. The problem is that my ISP doesn't allow usage of port 25 (as I understand a lot of ISP's don't).I have PHP scripts hat use the mail() function to send e-mails through the Sendmail application.So, my question is: How can I relay messages sent to sendmail to an external SMTP server (like Google Mail, for example)? Would this be easier to do in the PHP configuration, or on the Sendmail side of things?I've used PEAR extensions in PHP to achieve this before, but scripts downloaded from the Internet generally just use the basic mail() function, and it would be a real pain to modify them all.

I'm having trouble getting my mailertable to work..We have this stupid problem on our internal network where DNS and MX records aren't really set up 100 percent correctly. Getting permission to change it, and test it are way beyond the scope of this question; So I just want sendmail to ignore what's in DNS and fire messages straight to our internal relay server (which works for dozens of other clients) - but it's not doing that. You can see that it's rewriting the addresses to user@www.domain1.com because the parent *.domain1.com is a cname to URL...(someone did this as a poor mans redirect. So if a user tries to go to a subdomain that doesn't exist, they go to the root website instead..
