Sendmail sending user@domain.com to my local machine instead of my mail server.
Hi All I have a Freebsd machine running Sendmail. Let's call it machine A1. I am not really using it as a mail server. Just want to send out mails occasionally. I have another machine which is the real mail server for my domain - abc.com, let's call this machine B2. It works when I send out mails to username@gmail.com or username@yahoo.com, etc. But when I send out mails to username@abc.com, the mails get sent to itself, i.e. machine A1. And the maillog shows that the Local mailer was called to send the mail instead of the ESMTP mailer. I have other Freebsd machines, and have no problem sending mails to username@abc.com. I've tried everything, including copying all the files in /etc/mail from my other working Freebsd machines to machine A1, and do a make, make install, make restart. But machine A1 still calls the local mailer to deliver mails addressed to @abc.com. Machine A1 is acting as if it is the mail server for the domain. I don't have local-domains, local-host-names, files, etc. I just use the original sendmail.com.mc file. Can anybody help? Thank you very much in anticipation. Gui

Is A1 running the same version of Sendmail as all the other systems? I'm betting that Sendmail is adding the domain of the local host to class w, which is usually mapped to /etc/mail/local-host-names. Grant. . . .
gtaylorHi Grant Thank you for the reply. Yes, A1 is running more or less the same version of Sendmail as the other systems - 13.3. I don't use the /etc/mail/local-host-names. Why is Sendmail adding of the local host to class w? How to prevent this? What is class w? How come all the other machines have no problem sending mail to user@abc.com ?(abc.com is my domain, e.g) Previously, I had used A1 as my mail server (imap-uw), but now I am using another machine B2 for my mail server. And now I want to use A1 for some other purpose, and have some scripts running on A1 which need to send mails out to user@abc.com (abc.com is my domain, e.g.). > > Is A1 running the same version of Sendmail as all the other systems?

Ok. > Why is Sendmail adding of the local host to class w? How to prevent > this? What is class w? After doing some double checking, Sendmail adds "localhost" (literally) to class w. So my idea of Sendmail adding the domain of the host to class w by default is not the case. Class w is a list of local host names. I doubt that you need to stop Sendmail from adding localhost to class w. But if for some reason you do want to stop it, remark the line "Cw localhost" in sendmail.cf. > How come all the other machines have no problem sending mail to > user@abc.com ?(abc.com is my domain, e.g) Because they are configured correctly to do so.

hi Grant I think I know what caused the problem but still don't know how to resolve it. The cause is found here: http://www.technoids.org/removew.html ere are several ways that hosts/domains are added to class w. Here are some of the ways: When sendmail starts up, it calls gethostbyname(3) (or its equivalent) to find the name for the local server. It also tries to find all aliases by looking in /etc/hosts, querying DNS, and probing its network interfaces I have ip aliases in machine A1, and one of the ip aliases has a IP which is mapped to abc.com in my DNS server! Actually, this is for my web server which is running on A1 - so that visitors who enter abc.com instead of www.abc.com still go to www.abc.com. Maybe sendmail finds this aliases and check the DNS and finds out it is abc.com and then add abc.com to class w? How to resolve this?

Hi Grant I've found the solution LOCAL_RULESETS LOCAL_RULE_0 R$* < @abc.com. > $* $#smtp $@ mail.abc.com $: $1< @abc.com. >$2 Putting the above in the mc file works! The other (and better) solution mentioned in http://www.technoids.org/removew.html doesn't work. define(`confCW_FILE', `-o /etc/mail/local-host-names') Thank you.

Have you tried this?

confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES DontProbeInterfaces
[False] If set, sendmail will
_not_
insert the names and addresses
of any
local interfaces into class {w}
(list of known "equivalent"
addresses).
If you set this, you must also
include
some support for these
addresses (e.g.,
in a mailertable entry) --
otherwise,
mail to addresses in this list
will
bounce with a configuration

If set to "loopback" (without

unable to forward mail from 1 sendmail server to another sendmail server
Hi, i have a setup like this: box A ---> box B ---> sends to the world. sendmail, solaris 9. what is happening is as follows: Application on box A generates mail (for the users, who can be from anywhere) forwards it to box B which sends it out. The box A is forwarding mail to box B, only for the users of the domain, ie if there is a user is having a gmail id the mail is NOT forwarded from box A ----> box B. If i do a nslookup on gmail on box A it resolves properly.

Sending mail without sendmail or highly secure sendmail
Hello all, I am setting up a very secure Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server version 4 update 6 server. My sendmail version is 8.13.1. My mail server is a Windows 2003 Server with Exchange 2003 with its patches. They are both on the same subnet. DNS is on and it will resolve the mail server's name and IP. SSH, SCP, SFTP, and such tools are the only networkable protocols on. NFS if off, MOUNTD is off, PORTMAP is off, and such. Until just recently sendmail was off on the RHEL server as part of the hardening procedure. However part of the auditing requirements is for a mail message to go out to some admin if certain events occur such as "disk is full," "a panic occurred," "the system rebooted" etc. So I will perhaps cut sendmail on and mitigate the risk as best as possible. So, this sounds dumb, but can you send mail without sendmail. I think perhaps no, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Secondly does anyone have a harden .mc file from which they could share what they did? Of course you can fudge in phoney IP and names to protect your secured environment. Advice or insight do any of you have on securing sendmail is appreciated? I want to avoid such things as promiscuous relays, unqualified senders, etc etc. But if it must be ... it must be. :) Thanks George <george.e.sullivan@saic.com> wrote: > I am setting up a very secure Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server > version 4 update 6 server.

Best way to send mail from sendmail server?
Hey all; I've got a sendmail (8.13.4) box primarily relaying from the outside to a number of inside locations. Problem is, this box also sends mail out itself, mostly reporting and such. Now any mail it generates is coming from "user@localhost" which resolves (naturally) to 127.0.0.1. I can add localhost to the access DB and it works fine, but I'm wondering if this is really the ideal way of doing things. Is there a way I can rewrite the sender domain from localhost to domain.com, or even host.domain.com? Thanks, Colin Colin B. wrote: > I've got a sendmail (8.13.4)...

Is there any command readily available or do i need to write any scripts for that? TIA Prvnrk Install sendmail, but don't allow it to start up at boot. You might also take smtp out of /etc/services The sendmail executable will be there for mail clients to use for e-mail transmission, but nothing will be listening on port 25 (for inbound). > I have 2 linux boxes, one of them running sendmail as MTA for my > network, by using which we can send/receive mails to/fro > internal/external mail IDs.

How do I configure Sendmail to reject all mail to domains not in /etc/mail/access file?
Hi. I've got a serious spam problem on one my server which is running Sendmail 8.13.1. I've been struggling with iptables, although efficient but not manageable in the long run. The problem really is bad scripts made by users on their webpages, but it is impossible for me to debug these. So this is why I'm looking for information on how to block all @domain.tld's while maintaining the ability to send mail to certain specified domains in the /etc/mail/access file. Thus far, I've also been adding domain.tld in local-host-names and relaying all @domain.tld to a local alias which is redirected to /dev/null. This solution is also unmanageable in the long run. Therefore I turn to you for guidance and information on how to find a solution for the spam problem on my server. Feedback and tips will be greatly appreciated :) Thx, /Timo_S On Fri, 11 Aug 2006 19:03:08 +0300 Timo_S wrote: > I've got a serious spam problem on one my server which is running > Sendmail 8.13.1.

2 domains on 1 VPS, Routing mail for a single user to an external mail server
Lets say I have two domains that reside on a single Virtual Private Server, domain1.com and domain2.com. The mx record for domain1 points to the local server and the mx for domain2 points to an external server. If I have a single mail account (out of 20) on the domain1 server that I want forwarded to the domain2 server, can I do it with virtmaps (without affecting the other 19 being delivered to the local server)? i.e. josh@domain1.com --> josh@domain2.com I currently have this setup, but the mail is not getting routed through the external server, it is getting delivered straight to the local server. (I understand this is a very simple problem if domain2 does not reside on the same VPS as domain1, however in my case it does) Any ideas? thanks, josh Make sure your /etc/mail/local-host-names does not include domain2 for acceptance. Also make sure you makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable the virtual user table. Can you submit logs of a test message sent to user@domain2.com? My bad for not giving you all the information. The mail that is addressed to domain2 is being delivered to an external spam server (filter) and then after being filtered there it is being delivered back to the same server that domain1 is on. So the actual path the mail would take (if all worked well) would be: mx pointing to domain1 --> virtmap redirecting to domain2 with external mx -->domain2 external server redelivers mail to domain1 server If I delete domain2 from the l...

mail::sendmail (SOMETIMES) get "bad file descriptor" error when mail not local
I have a leased Linux box that I installed mail::Sendmail on using CPAN I'm using a perl script to send mail. I have a domain on that server and I get my personel email at that address. The script works fine when I am using my own email address as the recipient, but when I try to send to any other domain I get, for example, "sendmail failure sending to somebody@otherdomain.org Bad file descriptor" I don't have this problem with by Linux box at home and I thought I configured it the same way. (I just let CPAN do it's thing) I noticed that there is a soft link to qmail on the remote server, but it was my understanding that mail::Sendmail is independant of other mail programs. Is there some configuration file I can change to solve this problem? Anyone have any ideas?

Sending mail without sendmail or highly secure sendmail
Hello all, I am setting up a very secure Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server version 4 update 6 server. My sendmail version is 8.13.1. My mail server is a Windows 2003 Server with Exchange 2003 with its patches. They are both on the same subnet. DNS is on and it will resolve the mail server's name and IP. SSH, SCP, SFTP, and such tools are the only networkable protocols on. NFS if off, MOUNTD is off, PORTMAP is off, and such. Until just recently sendmail was off on the RHEL server as part of the hardening procedure. However part of the auditing requirements is for a mail message to go out to some admin if certain events occur such as "disk is full," "a panic occurred," "the system rebooted" etc. So I will perhaps cut sendmail on and mitigate the risk as best as possible. So, this sounds dumb, but can you send mail without sendmail. I think perhaps no, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Secondly does anyone have a harden .mc file from which they could share what they did? Of course you can fudge in phoney IP and names to protect your secured environment. Advice or insight do any of you have on securing sendmail is appreciated? I want to avoid such things as promiscuous relays, unqualified senders, etc etc. But if it must be ... it must be. :) Thanks George <george.e.sullivan@saic.com> wrote: > I am setting up a very secure Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server > version 4 update 6 server.

Best way to send mail from sendmail server?
Hey all; I've got a sendmail (8.13.4) box primarily relaying from the outside to a number of inside locations. Problem is, this box also sends mail out itself, mostly reporting and such. Now any mail it generates is coming from "user@localhost" which resolves (naturally) to 127.0.0.1. I can add localhost to the access DB and it works fine, but I'm wondering if this is really the ideal way of doing things. Is there a way I can rewrite the sender domain from localhost to domain.com, or even host.domain.com? Thanks, Colin Colin B. wrote: > I've got a sendmail (8.13.4)...

How do I configure Sendmail to reject all mail to domains not in /etc/mail/access file?
Hi. I've got a serious spam problem on one my server which is running Sendmail 8.13.1. I've been struggling with iptables, although efficient but not manageable in the long run. The problem really is bad scripts made by users on their webpages, but it is impossible for me to debug these. So this is why I'm looking for information on how to block all @domain.tld's while maintaining the ability to send mail to certain specified domains in the /etc/mail/access file. Thus far, I've also been adding domain.tld in local-host-names and relaying all @domain.tld to a local alias which is redirected to /dev/null. This solution is also unmanageable in the long run. Therefore I turn to you for guidance and information on how to find a solution for the spam problem on my server. Feedback and tips will be greatly appreciated :) Thx, /Timo_S On Fri, 11 Aug 2006 19:03:08 +0300 Timo_S wrote: > I've got a serious spam problem on one my server which is running > Sendmail 8.13.1.

So I have purchased smtp services and want mercury mail to use that smtp to send mails. Thanks.

2 domains on 1 VPS, Routing mail for a single user to an external mail server
Lets say I have two domains that reside on a single Virtual Private Server, domain1.com and domain2.com. The mx record for domain1 points to the local server and the mx for domain2 points to an external server. If I have a single mail account (out of 20) on the domain1 server that I want forwarded to the domain2 server, can I do it with virtmaps (without affecting the other 19 being delivered to the local server)? i.e. josh@domain1.com --> josh@domain2.com I currently have this setup, but the mail is not getting routed through the external server, it is getting delivered straight to the local server. (I understand this is a very simple problem if domain2 does not reside on the same VPS as domain1, however in my case it does) Any ideas? thanks, josh Make sure your /etc/mail/local-host-names does not include domain2 for acceptance. Also make sure you makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable the virtual user table. Can you submit logs of a test message sent to user@domain2.com? My bad for not giving you all the information. The mail that is addressed to domain2 is being delivered to an external spam server (filter) and then after being filtered there it is being delivered back to the same server that domain1 is on. So the actual path the mail would take (if all worked well) would be: mx pointing to domain1 --> virtmap redirecting to domain2 with external mx -->domain2 external server redelivers mail to domain1 server If I delete domain2 from the l...
Sendmail and user accounts containing the domain --> "user@domain.com"
I have create user accounts under Linux as user@domain.com, which creates their home directories just fine. I can retrieve mail for these accounts just fine but Sendmail is refusing to find these accounts. It seems to shop off the domain name by default and only looks for accounts using the "user" part of the address. How do I configure Sendmail to deliver mail to users named "user@domain.com" instead of just "user"? <fuogoitaliano@gmail.com> wrote in message news:73dab499-2180-400a-9d44-3b6109f0ec07@a23g2000hsc.googlegroups.com... > I have create user accounts under Linux as user@domain.com, which > creates their home directories just fine.

mail::sendmail (SOMETIMES) get "bad file descriptor" error when mail not local
I have a leased Linux box that I installed mail::Sendmail on using CPAN I'm using a perl script to send mail. I have a domain on that server and I get my personel email at that address. The script works fine when I am using my own email address as the recipient, but when I try to send to any other domain I get, for example, "sendmail failure sending to somebody@otherdomain.org Bad file descriptor" I don't have this problem with by Linux box at home and I thought I configured it the same way. (I just let CPAN do it's thing) I noticed that there is a soft link to qmail on the remote server, but it was my understanding that mail::Sendmail is independant of other mail programs. Is there some configuration file I can change to solve this problem? Anyone have any ideas?
