Problem with Sendmail

R

RedErick

Hello! :)

A few days ago I changed my hostname value from xxxxx.xxxx.com to xxxx.com (by editing in /etc/rc.conf and in /etc/dhclient.conf). Yesterday I have installed the lynis application to check my system. And that’s all that I have done.

Now periodically I have next messages in my /var/log/all.log file:

I have done chmod 0755 /etc/mail but still no result.

Please, help me to fix this problem :)

P.S. Why there is still xxxxx.xxxx.com and root@xxxxx.xxxx.com in those messages, why not just xxxx.com?
 
Also, a quick cd /etc/mail && make all install restart may help.

Check /etc/mail/access and /etc/mail/relay-domains

Unfortunately, I have no such files :)

Cool idea! But still the same problem after service sendmail restart :)

You probably need to re-configure Sendmail. It doesn't change dynamically.

I'm trying :) People, thanks a lot for participating! :)

How about your /etc/hosts entry?
Click to expand...

Hello! Well, first two lines in /etc/hosts are:
Code: 
::1                     localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.my.domain

Posting your sendmail.mc file would help immensely.
Click to expand...

Hello! I have no such file. A file with closest name that I have is sendmail.cf. My sendmail even was never configured.
 
The command uname -a also shows wrong e-mail (root@xxxx.xxxx.com):
Code: 
FreeBSD xxxx.com 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #2: 
Thu Aug  8 11:58:05 EEST 2013 [HIGHLIGHT]root@xxxx.xxxx.com[/HIGHLIGHT]...
It should be root@xxxx.com instead.
 
Don't look too much at that. It's set when the kernel is built.

Apparently your system thinks it's called "gateway.com". Check hostname.
 
I got it right now (for a full view :) ):

Sorry for the pause :)!

Code: 
hostname
gateway.com

Yes, I changed the name "gateway.home.com" to "gateway.com" and that decision was the start of that problems... I would like to assign this new name to my system.
 
That domain name is already in use. Use a .local domain, or something else that will not conflict with existing domains out on the net.
 
Yes, you are right! :e I changed it to "gateway.local". I am still getting the same error messages:

That domain is also in use. Most that people can imagine already are registered. Use .local, or even a subdomain of your ISP.
 
I would suggest not using .local as it interferes with Avahi/Zeroconf. For my home network I've used dicelan.home as a domain. Any random TLD will do, as long as it's not used on the Internet.
