From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: After I made the recomended changes(from release notes) in sendmail.mc DAEMON_OPTIONS('Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') to DAEMON_OPTIONS('Port=smtp, Addr=63.226.81.11, Name=MTA') and regenerated the sendmail.cf file with the command m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf I then restarted the daemon to initialize the new settings but the system still will not allow remote hosts to check mail. Am I doing something wrong? or is this a configuration problem with other portions of sendmail How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make changes in sendmail.mc as above 2. Regenerate sendmail.cf as above 3. Check mail with a remote email client Actual Results: Client returned this message when checking that serverThe connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Dave Nelson', Server: '63.226.81.11', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E have tried settings in client with both IP address and FQDN Expected Results: remotely check mail Additional info: If I am doing something wrong is there any documentation on how to fix this? I have never had to do this before to setup an email server.
You want to access your server with pop3. Look into enabling a pop3 server, as sendmail only accepts email, but does not offer pop3 connections.
