I hope you mean you changed the line in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to read
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl
I can send and receive a msg to myself using evolution and can send mail
outside but cannot receive.
y'all probably need more info but let's just start here.
I don't think the msgs are getting thru to that system because this
sendmail is setup on an FC2 machine and it's getting the replies of msgs
that should have gone to that other server. So it looks like that fc3
sys is refusing but I can't see in the logs where it's doing so. I have
remaked the "mc" file a couple times in /etc/mail. host and resolve
look ok...just dunno
Do:
# netstat -lpn | grep sendmail
If you see a line that contains "127.0.0.1:25", then you didn't stop
and restart sendmail after rebuilding /etc/mail/sendmail.cf from the .mc
file. You have to do that. sendmail only reads that when it starts.
Try "service sendmail restart" and repeat the netstat command. It
should now have a line that contains "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25" in it, where
the "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is your machine's public IP address.
