Re: sendmail msp problem: connection refused by [127.0.0.1]



hi ya klaus

- what else shows up in your maillog files..

- what is the contents of your files

/etc/mail/sendmail.cw	- make sure your rothert.de is listed

/etc/mail/access	- make sure you relay for localhost
	#
	localhost.localdomain           RELAY
	localhost                       RELAY
	127.0.0.1                       RELAY
	#
	rother.de		RELAY
	others_for_this_box.de	RELAY
	More_VirtualDomains.de	RELAY

/etc/mail/virtualusertable
	...

- did you run make in /etc/mail and have a new *.db files

- did you restart sendmail

- check that smmsp is in your /etc/passwd and /etc/group

- check yor permissions

# ls -la /usr/sbin/sendmail
-r-xr-sr-x   1 root     smmsp      556062 Oct 10 23:22 /usr/sbin/sendmail
    ^^^
	notice guid

# ls -la /var/spool/
drwxrwx---   2 smmsp    smmsp        4096 Oct 21 02:35 clientmqueue
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     mail         4096 Oct 21 02:35 mail
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     mail         4096 Oct 21 02:52 mqueue
