From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2smp i686) Description of problem: When trying to send e-mail to an smtp server running on 7.1 with tcp wrappers enabled (i.e. /etc/hosts.deny --> ALL: ALL), the netscape client will not send on the localhost. The only way to get this to function was to put in the line: sendmail : ALL in /etc/hosts.allow. The following lines did not work in /etc/hosts.allow: ALL: localhost sendmail: localhost How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Send an e-mail from netscape 2. 3. Actual Results: I received an error from Netscape: The mail server responded 5.0.0 Access Denied /var/log/maillog gave me the following error: May 17 15:11:15 mailx sendmail[25415]: f4HKBF125415: tcpwrappers (mailx.personalcarehmo.com, 127.0.0.1) rejection Expected Results: e-mail should have been sent Additional info:
same problem here, except with fetchmail. fetchmail -v reports "Access Denied" from the local sendmail. adding sendmail: ALL in /etc/hosts.allow worked for me too, this is alright though, since DomainPortOptions in sendmail.cf is locked to 127.0.0.1 anyway. very strange.
What about this? # /etc/hosts.allow sendmail: LOCAL
sendmail rpm should be fine. Florian La Roche
