I know this is probably a basic question but how do I populate the sendmail.cf file? Mine is totally empty and everything seems to be running from /etc/mail/main.cf. I can send and receive mail from the box just find but am having problems pulling mail through IMAP tom Outlook.
Thank you dbase77 for your help, I am getting more a much better understanding of what is going onbv
telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Thanks guys for responding, here is my config:
grep 143 /etc/services
imap 143/tcp imap2 # Internet Mail Access Protocol v2
grep imap /etc/inetd.conf
pop stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/imap-2002a/ipop2d
pop3 stream tcp nowait root...
Annihilannic here is my ps -ef
ps -ef | grep imapd
root 1162 1151 0 12:40:11 pts/5 0:00 grep imapd
So that is just the command right?
And Dbase77,
when I do a netstat -a | grep imapd I don't get anything bit when I issue:
netstat -an | grep 143, i do get the output
*.143 *.*...
I am having problems determining why I can't get imap to work. When I type ps -ef, it does not list the imapd process running but when I am type /ps -ef |grep imapd, it does list the process and process id. Is it running or not?
Here is the output of my local.profile:
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc:/usr/local/bin:/export/home/local/bin.
I agree that this looks like I am calling up the wrong version but why doesn't my path statement not work?
Well I have the following line in my /etc/inetd.conf file
imap stream tcp no wait root /usr/local/etc/imapd imapd
And port 143 is pointing to my mail server on my firewall.
I also have this in my /etc/services file:imap 143/tcp imap2.
Funny thing is when I do a ps -ef|grep imapd...
I am able to send and receive mail from my sun box with no problem and am able to send mail from my Outlook client but can't receive mail from my Outlook client. I configured Outlook Imap port 143 as Incoming server(Imap) and down where it says root folder path I have /var/mail/joeuser.

Did you hard code the 192.168.1.100 or did you receive that from your router? Do you have a green link light on your network card? Try ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew to see if you get a ip again.
Can you ping your router? (192.168.1.1) Your Network card on your desktop does not have a physical address? Do you have a cable running from the router to your desktop or from your cable modem to your desktop? See if you can ping your DNS server also. (204.127.198.4)
If you setup your wireless router for DHCP, then your desktop should be receiving a IP from the router. Most likely in the default 192.168.1.x range. What is your IP address at your desktop? Your desktop is not wireless so there is no SSID.
