The server platform is RedHat version 7.2, Sendmail 8.11 and Mailman 2.08. My problem is an error generated when the post script is run. If my sendmail config file MTA entry is set for the correct IP an error is generated in the mailman/smtp error log "connection refused", but I can send email back and forth through Sendmail. If I put the loopback address 127.0.0.1 for the MTA in my sendmail config file the postings will go out but mail cannot be sent back to the server since the loopback address is in the config file not the correct ip address. I found a couple of archives referring to the connection refused error, but I could not find any response to correct the problem. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Well David by default Red Hat 7.2 does not port mail through the LAN. I had to
do two thing first of all in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc I had to dnl this line
DAEMON_OPTIONS (Port_SMTP, ADDR=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA) and rebuild the
sendmail.cf and Then in the /etc/mail/access I had to add 127.0.0.1 RELAY and
also the DOMAIN and the IP range thereof for Relay.
Sorry I haven't been paying attention to the list much very bust day. Mel
