I am looking for a way for sendmail to ALLOW auth by IP and not user name (its a closed network) or even SKIP invalid auth ? Is that even possible ? Jerry

Hi all, I have a local user account call "panel" on a machine. When I use the mail command to manually send email to the panel account it over 1 minute until that mail actually deposited in the mail account. What setting is that reduces this time? I changed /etc/sysconfig/sendmail the QUEUE=10s and that did not have any effect. Thanks Jerry

hi all, running centos 4.7 i686. I seem to have an o pen r elay sendmail server. How do I close it? I have the STRAIGHT centos install sendmail.mc file. Only thing I changed was: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl so as to allow incoming email and not just localhost. however this seems to relay everyone. I looked at http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying but it

Hi All, I am 'trying' to set SMART_HOST in sendmail to point to smtp-relay.gmail.com but when looking at the /var/log/maillog its going to mx203.inbound-mx.net. [192.110.255.243], why??? my line from sendmail.mc define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-relay.gmail.com') I did make in /etc/mail and service sendmail restart This is the only SMART_HOST in the config file. I started with the

Hi all, I set my sendmail.mc file to have a SMART_HOST entry of mail.xyz.com I do "make" and "service sendmail restart" ... I should be good, but no. :) If I do "host mail.xyz.com" I get the correct address and if I "telnet mail.xyz.com 25" I get a connection. however when I do a test mail - its trying to RELAY to another host. I thought SMART_HOST was

I tried editing sendmail.cf and changing the Dj line to X.com so any email originating from my machine would be X.com not m.X.com where m is machine name. I typed make in the /etc/mail directory and did service sendmail restart. This did not work. email still shows as m.X.com What am I missing so as to NOT have the machine name in the email address. I just want the domain. Thanks, Jerry

I'm running centos on a "limited" environment. Is it ok to turn off sendmail and run without it. Are there issues with doing that or is all Ok. Thanks, Jerry

I made a little file with a From:, To: and body. I execute the command cat file.txt | sendmail -t -O MinQueueAge=1m thinking that the message would try every minute to send instead of the default 30m. (if the initial attempt failed of course). This doesnt seem to have any effect? In the event I have an important email and I want it try perhaps every minute (1minute) to send the email how do I

Sorry for the extra email. It send to quickly. procmail: Assigning "SUBJECT= Tornado Monday, 03/27/2017 at 20:27:02. The Point BB.OBSURGRH is" jerry

I am sending an email from my machine devcentos5x64. the transcript below (hangs for 60 seconds) at the line: MAIL From:<root at devcentos5x64.msgnet.com> SIZE=56 AUTH=root at devcentos5x64.msgnet.com The email succeeds - but I am trying to figure out the 60 second delay. Neither email server is busy. Nothing is waiting. the DNS on both machines point to the same nameserver. The DNS

I was getting MANY emails from XXX.hinet.net - kind of filled my mqueue directory. I stopped sendmail. removed all the files in mqueue, added to sendmail access a REJECT for hinet.net This certainly seems to help - but is that the correct way to take care of this sort of thing? Thanks, Jerry

I tried to set in sendmail.mc file at the LAST line define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:unknownuser') dnl I did service sendmail restart and got an error on a completely different line. - as a thought I deleted that line and put it on line 2 of the sendmail.mc file. re-ran service sendmail restart and now it worked. I changed nothing else. Is there something special about the placement of this

I have setup my machine to relay through smtp.gmail.com installed cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-plain Added to access: AuthInfo:smtp.gmail.com "U:smmsp" "I:my accont" "P:my pass" "M:PLAIN" AuthInfo:smtp.gmail.com:587 "U:smmsp" "I:my account" "P:my pass" "M:PLAIN" Added to sendmail.mc the

I am trying to find a way to "speed" up sendmail going out of my box. I am setting SMART_HOST. Dont get me wrong email does go out it just takes like 3-4 minutes to get there. When I do "mail xxxx at y.com" and send it the /var/log/maillog file shows the connection and shows the relay as [127.0.0.1]. Then it just SITS there for a long time. Then it picks up the mail and

I think my sendmail is not correctly set. It says the default is to disallow relaying. I am running centos 4.8 and I think sendmail is relaying for anything. Based on this: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-89f.html#RELAYING I added|: FEATURE(relay_hosts_only) to my sendmail.mc file and restarted sendmail. I am still seeing connects that get relayed and are not in my /etc/mail/access

Gents, I have added the following to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and rebuilt it trying to control spam. I still get about 25 spam messages a day. Is there something else that can help control spam?

There is a README file on CentOS 7 in /etc/init.d that says Note that traditional init scripts continue to function on a systemd system. An init script /etc/rc.d/init.d/foobar is implicitly mapped into a service unit foobar.service during system initilization So I dropped my file in the above directory, rebooted and my item did not start. doing "systemctl list-unit-files | grep

Hi all, I had one server running centos 4.7 i686 everything was fine with incoming mail. I now added two more servers centos 5.4 x86_64 and gave them machine names all part of the same domain as machine 1. I noticed that incoming emails are being round robined to all three machines. At this time I really just want the one original machine to handle my incoming email... The other two new

All, I have an old computer 64M 350Mhz pentium II. centos os 4.1 installs on it fine. however on boot it says low memory and it kills certain processes. httpd or sendmail. I have a 2GIG swap and I did a chkconfig XXX off on a few things like xfs, nfs, httpd, kudzu. My old 2.4 kernel used to run in 4M with a swap... I had recompiled the kernel (took a while) to enable the cyclades module. Any

Is there a way to tell through /proc or something else which files a process has open and more importantly what position the read pointer is in for that open file? As an example if I am reading a file with a program I have no control over, and I kill that program, I need to know when in the data file that program was reading at that time. Is this information available and if so how to read it?
