X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 08 Apr 2005 04:25:29 -0000 Hi, Sendmail refused to deliver to myself as a local user on my 10.0.0.3 IP configured PC; this IP is behind a dual-homed gateway. /etc/rc.conf: hostname="simulation" sendmail_enable="YES" /etc/hosts.allow: sendmail : localhost 127.0.0.1 : allow /etc/hosts 10.0.0.3 simulation simulation. So I can ping 'simulation' as 10.0.0.3. No problems! In /etc/mail I have done: # make all install # /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart When I now send email to my own login account: $ mail -s "subject" rob < somefile.txt I don't receive anything in my mailbox. In /var/log/maillog I get: Apr 8 13:08:53 simulation sendmail[2175]: j3848rks002175: from=rob, size=31, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200504080408.j3848rks002175@simulation.>, relay=rob@localhost Apr 8 13:08:53 simulation sm-mta[2176]: j3848rua002176: from=, size=342, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200504080408.j3848rks002175@simulation.>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=IPv4, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Apr 8 13:08:53 simulation sendmail[2175]: j3848rks002175: to=rob, ctladdr=rob (1001/1001), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30031, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (j3848rua002176 Message accepted for delivery) Apr 8 13:10:08 simulation sm-mta[2178]: j3848rua002176: to=, delay=00:01:15, xdelay=00:01:15, mailer=esmtp, pri=30342, relay=antivortex.snu.ac.kr. [147.46.230.127], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Operation timed out with antivortex.snu.ac.kr. Why does it time out on "antivortex.snu.ac.kr", if I only send the mail to my local account. Note that "nslookup simulation.snu.ac.kr" indeed gives 'antivortex.snu.ac.kr' and its IP number. Apparently somebody else on the 'real internet' also uses an alias for my hostname 'simulation'. But why does that stop sendmail delivering locally? Any idea what's wrong here? Thanks for your help. Rob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
