smtp problem in Sendmail

[kashif]

Asslam 0 alikum!
Dear friends I made Redhat 7.2 mail server.

when i send and recieve mail from server it works fine.

But when i connect for client(outlook express) Mail recieves properly

but i am unable to sendmail from clients.
it give following eror message.





The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Sendmail', Server:

'192.168.0.1', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:

10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E






More over when I try to telnet server from client at port 25(SMTP)
it does not telnet the sever.

this problem is caused by a line in your sendmail.mc that tells the sendmail server to listen only on the local host for smtp. i dont exactly remember that line but you will find this one as it contains 127.0.0.1 in it and probably localhost too if i remember correctly. Simply delete it or add dnl before it and then remake your sendmail.cf and this will work fine. better search the forum as i posted this somewhere else too.

Yes he is right

aslo dont forget to put yr clients ip range in /etc/mail/access

and after that

makemap hash /etc/mai/access < /etc/mail/access
