Re: Pop working, sendmail acting strange.



You sure you are not running a firewall or such?

What I have noticed, is there's absolutely nothing in the log files about refusing the connection.

Well, I've almost got everything running after a system crash.

Pop is working now

However, sendmail will only take connections if you telnet to localhost or 127.0.0.1, if you use the ip address, or the hostname, it refuses the connection.

I don't have the firewall in place, so it can't be that,


and, i've put the domain name and host name in the local tables for sendmail.
