Hi all,

I am having a problem with Sendmail-8.13.3-1 on PCLinuxOS
I started having the following error
Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.net

All the email are be held in the Mail Queue by the end of the day I have
tons of mail in the quere.

I have done a search on google, but didn't turn up alot. Has anyone on
the list seen this problem before ? or perhaps someone could be so nice
to point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help given in advance.

-David

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do you use an really old submit.cf file?

8.12.7/8.12.7 2002/12/29
CONFIG: Use FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]') in submit.mc by default
to avoid problems with hostname resolution for localhost
which on many systems does not resolve to 127.0.0.1 (or
::1 for IPv6). If you do not use IPv4 but only IPv6 then
you need to change submit.mc accordingly, see the comment
in the file itself.

When I add the FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]') to my submit.cf file and
than do a rebuild. After that the sendmail server refuses to restart. I
did find this error in the log file

Jul 2 22:34:23 pclos sendmail[22165]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Jul 2 22:34:23 pclos sendmail[22165]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP
socket

If I remove the line from the submit.cf file and do a rebuild and a
server restart everything goes fine. What is is that I am clueless about?

Thanks -David

It belongs in your submit.mc file (and it has alread a line with
FEATURE(`msp') in it!). Why don't you just use what is shipped with
sendmail?

How did you manage that? submit.cf is not used for a daemon. You
don't have to restart the sendmail daemon. See cf/README and
sendmail/SECURITY.

Thanks I really blew it with the submit.cf instead of the submit.mc
file. Now that I got it right it is working fine. Thank you very much
for the pointers.
