"Connection Refused" errors in smtp-failure
Hi all,
After trying everything in the Wiki, i got to the bottom where it says, if all else fails, ask the list, so here goes:
I have compiled mailman 2.1.9 from source on Fedora Core 6, using sendmail ver. 8.13.8.
Sendmail is working ccorrectly sending and receiving mail, and the aliases file has been updated with the aliases received through mailman.
Mailman accepts mail sent to it, and does everything it is supposed to, except sending mail. All mail gets errors similar to the follwing (all related to the same mail):
in post: Apr 02 09:48:51 2007 (2950) post to mailman from mailman-owner@mail.deezed.com, size=2462, message-id=mailman.1.1175392801.8059.mailman@mail.deezed.com, 1 failures
in smtp: Apr 02 09:48:51 2007 (2950) mailman.1.1175392801.8059.mailman@mail.deezed.com smtp to mailman for 1 recips, completed in 0.005 seconds
in smtp-failure: Apr 02 09:48:51 2007 (2950) delivery to dov@zamirfamily.com failed with code -1: (111, 'Connection refused')
There are no entries in error or in sendmail's log or in the system error log.
Any suggestions?

You mention the wiki, but you don't say anything about the FAQ Wizard. Did you try everything mentioned in FAQ 3.14 (and related FAQs), as well as FAQ 4.73?

Thanks. Didn't see FAQ 4.73 (but did 3.14). Added the debugging to SMTPdirect and found the eror message. There seems to be a IP4-IP6 problem. Trying to fix it now...

The problem is an inability to connect to 'localhost'. I added the host ip address to mm_cfg.py and solved th problem. Now I'm trying to figure out why I can't access localhost on port 25.

Is sendmail configured to listen on localhost (127.0.0.1) as well the host's TCP/IP address. I'm have very little sendmail experience (and what I have is years ago) but I know for some of the other MTAs you must explicitly configure it to listen to localhost separately from the outside TCP/IP address.

Sendmail is configured to listen on all addresses, this should include the localhost address. This server (my test server) is supposedly configured identical to my production machines, which all accept connects just fine. I'm sure it is a very simple overlook on my side, but I can;t find it!
