Hi,

I was using Fedora 8 + sendmail 8.13 and everything was running fine. Yesterday I accepted the fedora update wich included the new sendmail version.

Now the problem is that the system is not accepting connections through the ethernet interface although he accepts internal connections to 127.0.0.1 !!!

if I try something like:
linux>telnet 10.0.0.1 25
I get
linux>Trying 10.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 10.0.0.1: Connection refused

if I try:
linux>telnet localhost 25
I get
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 reperbelga.reper-portugal.local ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.2/8.14.2; Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:04:57 +0100

Any ideas about this problem ?
I didn't find any log for the rejection ...

Thanks,
pedro
 
Hi,

It's me again I did manage to solve the problem.
Apparently in the previous version 8.13 it worked fine with the sendmail.mc default configuration for LOCAL_DOMAIN:

LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl

I just replaced the localhost.localdomain for my domain and everything is back to normal...
