Thanks,

I'll try it, well, now I can at least talk to sendmail, but relaying is denied...

The following message could not be delivered because the address test-owner@lists.first5ventura.org was rejected by host lists.first5ventura.org (206.72.86.221). 550 5.7.1 <test-owner@lists.first5ventura.org>... Relaying denied. IP name possibly forged [206.72.86.2]

Reporting-MTA: dns; otn.com Arrival-Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2003 09:42:36 -0700

Final-Recipient: rfc822; test-owner@lists.first5ventura.org Action: failed Status: 5.7.1 Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 5.7.1 <test-owner@lists.first5ventura.org>... Relaying denied. IP name possibly forged [206.72.86.2]

it is not a new install, it is RHL 7.3, but I am so afraid of touching anything I do not understand (I have a special fear of sendmail...) that I did not touch anything I did not have to...

sendmail.mc is dated Jul 2002 and sendmail.cf is dated Aug 2002

the machine was mainly used as a secondary DNS server, but I stared adding stuff to it... calendar cgi, daily web stats (from the WebSTAR log files) and now I am adding mailman.

Is linux2.otn.com a new Redhat install? If so, take a look at /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and find the line that says:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

Change it to say:

dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

Save your changes and then:

cd /etc/mail;make;service sendmail restart

That should do the trick.

found the sendmail log file /var/log/maillog

looks like connection was refused?

so I guess I do need to do something to sendmail to make it realize that it should handle email for lists.first5ventura.org...

any ideas what I should do to sendmail?
