I have a sendmail question for the collective. I believe the problem
centers around the "new and improved" (harumph) sendmail shipped with
Solaris 9.
I do not run sendmail in daemon (-bd) mode on clients; only the mailserver
will receive email. So on the client (Solaris 9 with patch 113575-04) I
have edited the submit.cf file in two places
change Cwlocalhost to Cwmailhost
and change D{MTAHost}localhost to D{MTAHost}mailhost.
I have edited the sendmail.cf file in one place
change the Cwlocalhost to Cwmailhost.
On the mailhost (an old Solaris 7 sparc 20, with patch 110615-09), I put
the local host name into the local-host-names file and restarted sendmail.
Under Solaris 8 and older, this worked fine (and there was no submit.cf so
I didn't have to modify it...). With Solaris 9, there is this
new user smmnp, which will only send email to localhost. This is called
improving security -- forcing you to run a daemon that was previously
disabled...
Has anyone gotten a Solaris 9 box to send email out without running it in
daemon mode?
