Huh?

Post #25,917 by static 1/27/02 12:02:37 AM Reply	Huh? Your description and the log you posted disagree: is the problem with email coming into your box (what you said) or email leaving your box (what the log says)? And I'd like to know you're persisting with sendmail, since you've essentially said you can't or won't change. Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

The line in the log that I'm having trouble deciphering is: 02627 >>> 550 5.0.0 Access denied This is coming from sendmail on my box (listed as xyz.com). It seems that sendmail can't write something to somewhere but I'm not sure exactly what or where. 550 is an smtp error code basically saying "I can't do that" the 5.0.0 is a mystery. As for my obstinace for sticking with sendmail -- the reasons are many and varied. I'm not going to go into it here. Cliff

Considering all the advice so far about how to fix your problem has been to replace sendmail with something better, it doesn't look like there will be anyone who knows exactly what's wrong. Sorry.

Indeed, on my system /sbin/sendmail is actually a symlink to exim. This mainly works around the fact that many packages on Red Hat Linux require the smtpdaemon metapackage and I can't be bothered to make an exim RPM :-) Peter Shill For Hire [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal]
