When submit_only is ON, freebsd.submit.cf (generated from > freebsd.submit.mc) is used. You should investigate the mc files and learn how to generate cf files from them. I tried rebooting and that's when I get those errors. I tried doing a: #cd /etc/mail && make stop && killall -9 sendmail The config file I'm using is made from $hostname.cf. That's where I make all my changes. I don't know why but somehow there is something else listening on 25 but I can't figure out what: # sockstat | grep sendmail # cd /etc/mail && make start Starting: sendmail sendmail-clientmqueue. # sockstat | grep sendmail smmsp sendmail 727 3 dgram -> /var/run/log root sendmail 724 3 dgram -> /var/run/logpriv root sendmail 724 4 tcp4 *:25 *:* root sendmail 724 5 tcp6 *:25 *:* # tail -f /var/log/maillog Sep 20 00:38:18 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket Sep 20 00:38:23 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use Sep 20 00:38:23 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket Sep 20 00:38:28 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use Sep 20 00:38:28 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket Sep 20 00:38:33 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use Sep 20 00:38:33 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket Sep 20 00:38:38 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use Sep 20 00:38:38 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket Sep 20 00:38:38 eisenhower sm-mta[724]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: server SMTP socket wedged: exiting - ------------------------------ Mike Loiterman grantADLER Tel: 630-302-4944 Fax: 773-442-0992 Email: mike@ascendency.net PGP Key: 0xD1B9D18E -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.0.2 (Build 2424) Comment: Secured by PGP 9.0.2 iQA/AwUBQy+g6WjZbUnRudGOEQL8LQCfSuoZCCvz0AGj1dclCldTq8RYx88Anicn o2FjMQn8VCB5/2UkCcoRGcmI =tmEQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
