Server :: Error During Install Makemap And Mailstats Of Sendmail?
Apr 19, 2011
I intend to install cryus-sasl, procmail and sendmail for my school. After I've finished the install of cyrus-sasl and procmail, I try to install sendmail. I have config the required setting of sendmail which let it support cryus-sasl in the file sendmail/devtools/Site/site.config.m4, then I build the main program of the sendmail and created the related user account and directories. It doesn't has any error. But when I try to build the program "makemap" and "mailstats", it has the similar error which said that there are an unrecognized option '-R/usr/local/ssl/lib' and can't find -lphclient. Here are the dump screen after I type the command "sh Build install" in the directory of program "makemap":
[root@chmsmail makemap]# sh Build install
Configuration: pfx=, os=Linux, rel=2.6.18-194.el5PAE, rbase=2, rroot=2.6.18-194, arch=i686, sfx=, variant=optimized
Making in /usr/local/src/sendmail/obj.Linux.2.6.18-194.el5PAE.i686/makemap
cc -O2 -I. -I../../sendmail -I../../include -I/opt/nph/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -
code....
Anyone can tell me what should I do to tackle the error?
I'm running sendmail 8.14 which sends out thousands of email. I'm getting several timeout error on only a few particular hosts. What I found is almost all of them are Exim 4.69
maillog shows --> timeout waiting for input from ..@xxx during client greeting
after several tries, I finally got bounce back with
--> 451 4.4.1 reply: read error from xxx.com. .. Deferred: Connection timed out with xxx.com. Message could not be delivered for X day Message will be deleted from queue
When i search though maillog with all of those error and they all seems to be running Exim and they are different mail domains.
I'm running Sendmail with SASL Authentication and STARTTLS and this error always turns up in my log, even though the server works as a charm apart from that.
Iam using centos5.i had installed qmail as MTA.when iam login through squirrel mail it gives login error invalid username or password.And then i tried with domain.
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 seem to have a send mail problem .the server is RHes3 i edited the etc/mail/mail.mc
then did [root@Mixer mail]# make -C /etc/mail make: Entering directory `/etc/mail' WARNING: 'sendmail.mc' is modified. Please install package sendmail-cf to update your configuration. WARNING: 'submit.mc' is modified. Please install package sendmail-cf to update your configuration. make: Leaving directory `/etc/mail'
I have spent three days on this and am at my end so help would be greatly appreciated. I have a server running CentOS 5.5 and Sendmail 8.13.8. All works fine except for emails from Logwatch. I see this in the maillog:
Jul 20 07:49:24 ifsboss sendmail[1027]: o6K5aIc0000515: to=system@soswebs.co.za, ctladdr=<root@ifsboss.ifsdbn.co.za> (0/0), delay=00:13:06, xdelay=00:00:45, mailer=relay, pri=210540, relay=smtp.isdsl.net. [196.26.208.197], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: 451-Rejected after DATA: could not verify "From:" header address
No matter what i have done It still fails on this. To list what I have done is plenty so I thought I'd poll you experts for possible past experience that could either confirm I am on the right track, or point me to it. If I try force the mail that is stalled in the mailq I see this:

Many of mails sent from my mail server that are in Queue;The main reason is deffered by domains like yahoo,aol,etc.but there is one more error that i keep getting and that is Host Unknown,Below is an example from mail log,The catch is,test mail sent on the same email id sent from my personal mail from the same server i.e. url was deliveredHowever,another mail containing client information sent from customercare@mycompanysdomain ended up in queue.
There are more examples of the same,around 20 domain have the same problem.
I am using postfix as spam Mailscanner to protect my mail server running sendmail. The problem is that when I forward an email from MailScanner mail me back with the following error:
<postmaster@localhost.@mydomain.com.>... Real domain name required for sender address (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Jul 27 13:15:59 smtp postfix/local[28465]: C68AC1000001: to=<root@smtp.mydomain.com>,
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?
I have users [URL] unable to send email to [URL]. [URL] user also unable to send email to [URL]. But both email addresses are fine as they can receive email from others or from [URL] and [URL]. I able to telnet mail server 110 and 25, no problem. Version: ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10

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'm new to send mail. I have a server with a public address and domain name. But I only want to implement a small sendmail network on our 20-user LAN. Can I turn my public server into a sendmail server? Are there any simple step-by-step instructions for this?
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 have configured sendmail server in my lan and it is working fine for me.but there is one little problem for me. i want mails send sunita should be received by vinita.sunita and vinita both are normal users on same pc.
for this i made entry in Code: /etc/aliases sunita: vinita
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.
Have read a whole bunch of threads from how and troubleshooting but still having problems.Was thrown a box configured by someone who resigned today. Need to get mail from the box outbound via SMTP relay off our exchange server.
I recently built a mail server with Slackware/Sendmail and basically all works. Mail comes in and goes out. The problem I have is 3 email addresses cannot be sent to from this server. The remote ends are 3 different servers but all run Exim 4.69. I have logged the server exchange and this is what I get: (names have been changed to protect the innocent!!)
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:
[484114.608378] sendmail[17975]: segfault at 0 ip b7dbbbf3 sp bfb0dc4c error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[b7d44000+14e000]
Here's my ssmtp.conf:
Code:
# # /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail. #
I wanted to install sendmail 8.14.5 vesion so rather than upgrading it i deleted all sendmail files and installed the sendmail 8.14.5 tar file. I followed every steps of INSTallation except associated sendmail utilities (makemap, mailstats,etc).But when i try to see rpm -q sendmail,i get the reply: package sendmail is not installed
