Subject: Sendmail on FBSD server wont connect to remote user.

Aloha Questions list,

I have been trying to setup Sendmail on a server box.
FreeBSD 6.1 HP Pentium II 300 CPU 686

After many attempts I am down to this one error.

Error:
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server
mahalo.internetohana.org responded:
Password supplied for admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is incorrect.


I have 2 user accounts for test on this swever. I can ping and
telnet into ports 25 and 110 and I get the proper responses from
these users.

The 2 user accounts are rejected as per the error when I try to
connect from a mail agent (Mozilla or Thunderbird) from another box
on a different inet. (Also FreeBSD 4.11 running for several years.)


The server is setup with send mail SMTP and qpopper for Pop3. There
is nothing else on this box.

Do I have to create a password file other than the FreeBSD
/etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd
to get this to work.

My previous attempts with Postfix and Dovecot did not get this far.

Thanks for any help.

I'm leaving sendmail long ago since I'm migrated to Postfix..
but however as i still remember, default sendmail installation
is just listening to localhost.

so u need to alter the *.cf file ( in /etc/mail/ )..

# SMTP client options
O ClientPortOptions=Family=inet, Address=0.0.0.0

by default this line will be commented out ( with # or dnl ) or just listen to localhost

previously I faced this prob with old RedHat 7.x..

anyone who know this, maybe can correct me if I'm wrong

TQ
