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
I have centos 5.4 vesion.
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'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10 Server using VirtualBox 3.2.12 r68302. I've setup a LAMP Server and Installed Redmine and I'm going to be starting some projects. The problem I have is that I've linked it to a subdomain thru my hosting, so things are a little more complex for me then usual. Here's the software I've added for this setup:
Ruby version 1.8.7 (i686-linux)
RubyGems version 1.3.7
Rack version 1.1

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.

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?

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..

I want to have them enter a username and password in Outlook, Thunderbird, etc in their smtp server settings.

View 14 Replies View Relatedl have been trying to enable masquerading in sendmail. I've started from scratch. Here's what I did:
1.My Mail Server name is "ids.com" and local hostname is "server"
2. When I send the mail from my user to other user. The mail goes with user@server
All this allows me to send mail from all of my computers. Now, to get masquerading:
3. I have MASQUERADE_AS(`ids.com'), MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`ids.com'), and FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain'). I also added "ids.com" to /etc/mail/local-host-names to be able to receive mail addressed to that domain.
This masquerades mail originating on the server, but still the mail from the other computers has a "From:" line of the form user@hostname.

I have a Centos 5.5 Server, Servername is CentOS1. It has a Forum and a HelpDesk. The Help Desk software SENDS and acknowledgement to the user and emails to all the people on the support desk. Users can reply to emails only by accessing the helpdesk NOT by mail. Thus the server is configured to only SEND mail and not to receive any mail at all.
Mail Server is Sendmail.
Hosts file reads : -
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1CentOS1.tech.xxxxx.com CentOS1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
There is NO MX Record because this server receives NO mail, it's send only. Unfortunately, the mail it sends has a From Header which is @CentOS1.tech.xxxxx.com. I want it to send from @xxxxx.com. I've read all the howtos on Masquerading and I've tried many, many things, but with the same results. It will NOT change the From. I had it working perfectly a long time ago with a SuSE server, but I can't for the life of me remember what I did. I know I also battled a bit.
