| By default, the Sendmail mail transport agent (MTA) does not accept network connections from any host other than the local computer. To configure Sendmail as a server for other clients:
| |
|
| |
| # Edit <code>/etc/mail/sendmail.mc</code> and either change the <code>DAEMON_OPTIONS</code> line to also listen on network devices, or comment out this option entirely using the <code>dnl</code> comment delimiter.
| |
| # Install the <code>sendmail-cf</code> package: <pre>su -c 'yum install sendmail-cf'</pre>
| |
| # Regenerate <code>/etc/mail/sendmail.cf</code>: <pre>su -c 'make -C /etc/mail'</pre>
