Hi,

I start to install Sendmail and I am suffering :-(

I logged on my domaine name provider and put the following change

I have the domaine name (Let's say) : ww.com
For A record, I use my fixe IP address -> seems to be OK
For MX record, mail3.ww.com

Now, on my router -> forwarded all ports : 110 and 25 and 53 (DNS) to my
machine running Sendmail
(The serveris behind a NAT Router)

The Hostname of my server is : mail3.ww.com


With this config, I can send email from the sendmail server -> OK !!
But I cannot RECEIVE anything !!

Do you think that this is a DNS problem ?

If I do :
dig ww.com MX
-> fine, I can find : 10 mail3.ww.com


and Dig ww.com A
-> fine, I see my fix Ip address

# netstat -nltp | grep -E "(:25|:110)"
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 1790/dovecot
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 1812/sendmail: acce


Any idea of What could be wrong ???

Thanks

Yes. You instructed sendmail to listen only to loopback (127.0.0.1).
This might be a default used by your OS.
