Server :: Sendmail M4 Configuration Base Directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf Was Not Found

Nov 1, 2010

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

Debian Configuration :: Lost IPV4 After Removing Sendmail Base

Dec 28, 2015

Had an issue on one of my Debian stable servers the other day. After doing apt-get upgrade I was prompted to do autotoremove.

It wanted to autotremove

Code: Select allStart-Date: 2015-12-21  16:25:05
Commandline: apt-get autoremove
Remove: sendmail-cf:amd64 (8.14.4-8), exim4-config:amd64 (4.84-8), sendmail-base:amd64 (8.14.4-8)
End-Date: 2015-12-21  16:25:07

After doing this I rebooted my server (a few days later). After rebooting I had no ipv4. I tried statically assigning IP addresses to no avail. Ran ifconfig eth0 down/up which got me nowhere. Eventually decided to ask "Okay, what changed". Started installing packages that were autoremoved. Had to install from the apt cache using dpkg. First one I tried was sendmail-base. Then did ifconfig eth0 down/up, which gave me networking back.

I have checked the dependencies for sendmail-base and I see nothing that would relate to networking, so I'm really confused on why this happened. I had backups of the server so I went a week back and noticed sendmail-base was installed at that time. So I went a day back, where sendmail-base wasn't installed, and installed it. Sure enough it brought back networking. I'm just stating this because it is more proof that sendmail-base was the missing component.

Server :: Sendmail Not Reading Default Sendmail.cf ?

Apr 1, 2010

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.

CentOS 5 Server :: Procmail + Sendmail Configuration On 5.2?

Aug 5, 2009

I have been trying to get procmail working on CentOS 5.2. I don't need anything fancy, just an auto reply for a "noreply@" account. Looking at the sendmail configuration, it appears procmail is the MDA. I have looked at many different tutorials and how-tos, but most are old, and/or the locations/paths and setups are markedly different from the defaults on my system. Can anyone recommend a good CentOS-based tutorial on Procmail w/ recipes? (I have an RHEL book and it's no help either.) Thank you for your time and consideration.

Ubuntu :: Sendmail Causes Home Directory To Disappear

Jul 15, 2011

I wrote a script that is run by cron every 5 minutes, but for some weird reason it causes my home directory to disappear for any currently logged-in sessions. If I SSH in after that, my home directory will be present but once the cron job runs it will disappear again. This is the script:

Code:
if [[ `ps aux | grep '[m]otion.pid'` = "" && ! -e /tmp/ignore-motion ]]; then
echo "security cameras offline" | mail -s "" xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.com
fi

And there are a lot of these errors in /var/log/syslog:
Code:

I understand that sendmail is having trouble because of my hostname, but why would it cause my home directory to disappear?

Fedora :: Sendmail Configuration For Sending Through ISP

Mar 12, 2011

I'm currently running a server at home with F13. Now I've set up my sendmail config to relay through another server because my ISP blocks outgoing email. Now recently I've noticed that they have stopped this server from relaying emails so i need to sort out another way to send out.My current sendmail config has this added which was the relay server i was using.

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)DSrelay.02broadband.co.uk

Now i either want to set up the server to email through my main ISP using a username / password or go through my main email provider Gmail.Any ideas on how to set up either on Fedora? I've seen guides for setting up gmail but never anything related to Fedora and I'm a bit stuck

General :: Safe To Remove Sendmail By Running "yum Erase Sendmail" And Let Postfix Handles "mailx" Also?

Sep 5, 2010

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?

General :: Sendmail Configuration Over A Cable Modem

Feb 19, 2010

I have a CentOS system running. I want to get mail off it to my yahoo account.

I did a test mailx command and it goes out of the queue but never gets to my yahoo mail.

I am using a cable modem.
I can go out to the Internet so I know I have a valid connection.
I am guessing I need to set something up so the cable company will relay my mail for me.

I know i can pull pop mail down and sen it using my account.

Do I need to configure something in the sendmail.cf file to do this?

I just went into my email and say this ...patial msg included...

(reason: 553 5.7.1 [BL21] Connections will not be accepted from 98.249.136.1 9, because the ip is in Spamhaus's list; see [url])

Server :: Sendmail Not Using Mailertable

May 9, 2011

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..

Server :: How To Set Sendmail To Allow Authenticated Relay?

I have a CentOS server, and am using Sendmail to relay for various domains. However, I also need to have users send their outgoing mail via this server. I want to have them enter a username and password in Outlook, Thunderbird, etc in their smtp server settings. I currently have this set up via an Exchange server, but I cannot get it to work with Sendmail. I know little about Sendmail, and have done all the config via Webmin, which has worked fine as far as relaying domains. But even though I have added the CentOS user account for the smtp relaying, the clients mail apps give an error saying relaying denied.

Server :: How To Enable Masquerading In Sendmail

Feb 11, 2010

l 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.

Server :: Sendmail - How To Do Domain Masquerading

Apr 24, 2011

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.

The last few lines of sendmail.mc read : -
LOCAL_DOMAIN('localhost.localdomain')dnl
dnl #
dnl # The following example makes mail from this host and any additional
dnl # specified domains appear to be sent from mydomain.com
dnl #
dnl MASQUERADE_AS('xxxxx.com')dnl
dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl
dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl
dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl
dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(CentOS1.tech.xxxxx.com)dnl
dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(CentOS1)dnl
dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(tech.xxxxx.com)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl
dnl MAILER(cyrusv2)dnl

I've tried each one of the MAQUERADE_DOMAIN in turn, none of them work and yes, I have remade it.
