[TriLUG] Sendmail error: SYSERR: putoutmsg

[Jeff Bollinger]

We are trying to get Sendmail working on a RedHat 7.2 box (2.4.7-10) and 
we can send mail, but not receive it.  When I nmap the localhost I can see:

25/tcp     open        smtp

but when I nmap the system from a different host I don't get the line 
above, indicating to me that for whatever reason, the system isn't 
showing port 25 as being open.  When I try to telnet to port 25 on the 
Sendmail box I get:

telnet: connect to address x.x.x.x: Connection refused

I've restarted Sendmail multiple times, and ran newaliases as well, but 
I'm still stumped on why I can't even see port 25 from another system, 
when I can see it open on localhost, and can successfully telnet to it 
locally.  Netstat reports the following:


# netstat -na |grep 25
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:*          LISTEN


Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff
