[Mailman-Users] qfiles building up + (111, 'Connection refused')

[Jon Carnes]

qfiles building up + (111, 'Connection refused')Check out /etc/mail/access
and make sure that you have entries similar to the following in there for
"localhost":
  localhost.localdomain           RELAY
  localhost                       RELAY
  127.0.0.1                       RELAY

===
if not, add the entries and do a 'make' in that directory.

Also, check out your /etc/sendmail.cf file for the following line (or
similar line):
  # file containing names of hosts for which we receive email
  Fw/etc/sendmail.cw

Then check the file /etc/sendmail.cw . Put any aliases for your machine name
in there.
Note: most modern sendmail distributions but this file in /etc/mail/..., but
I'm an old fart so I still use the "old" ways.

Here is an example from my file:
  haht.com
  mailhost.haht.com
  mailhost.dev.haht.com
  mailhost.support.haht.com
  mailhost.marketing.haht.com
  mailhost.esg.haht.com
  mailhost.srvr.haht.com
  mercury.dev.haht.com
  mercury.srvr.haht.com
  hahtsite.com
  hahtcommerce.com

Sendmail will accept mail from any of these domains as being local to this
server.

  Have just moved one of our servers over to new box and also upgraded
mailman to 2.0.6 from 2.0.4. I can send to all lists but despite the qrunner
cron running I get the following messages in logs/smtp;

  Dec 19 15:20:02 2001 (24016) All recipients refused: (111, 'Connection
refused')
  Dec 19 15:20:02 2001 (24016) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.003 seconds

  I have seen other posts about this by nothing that works for me. Sendmail
is running and serving mail for other pop3 accounts. Running Readhat 7.1. I
am fresh out of ideas! All help would be gratefully received.
