You realize in your "Description of problem" you are commenting out with dn[one] not dn[el] - it's correctly dn[el] - "dnl". Is this just a typo in the bug report or what's actually in the .mc file? mitch was correct. I had inserted by mistake dn1 and not dnl for the two DAEMON...lines in the sendmail.mc file. I now put dnl in the .mc file, recompiled with M4, restarted sendmail, and it works; checked the sendmail.cf file and the appropriate lines are commented out. Thanks for catching this. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: edited /etc/sendmail.mc and commented out the following two lines, dn1 DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') dn1 DAEMON_OPTIONS(`port=smtp,Addr=::1, Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6') ran the M4...no errors. restarted sendmail(/etc/init.d/sendmail restart). sent email to this machine, but did not get email. looked at /etc/sendmail.cf and at the very end was the problem, # SMTP daemon options O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA O DaemonPortOptions=port=smtp,Addr=::1, Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6 these two lines should have been commented out from the M4. I manually commented these out(although, you advise not to edit this file) and now I get email. Bug in the M4? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.in sendmail.mc, comment out two DAEMON...lines 2.run M4 3.restart sendmail 4.test sending to machine Actual Results: no email Expected Results: email Additional info:
