Hi guys,
Trying to get sendmail to accept connections from any domain and am having some real troubles. A few questions.
I can access the server through localhost no problem. What is up with the rcn.com hostname though? They're not even my isp anymore. You can see my hostname is set as sporkit.hopto.org. I've looked for where this configuration can be changed, but am not seeing anything.
Connecting through 127.0 I can still access the server.
155 is the address of my server itself. So I believe this request bonces from my router back to the box. Shouldn't I be able to connect to my box like this? Where can I allow 192.168.1.1 to connect? How can I open up sendmail to receive from anybody?
I believe my ISP is blocking incoming on port 25, so I would first like to verify connectivity before I go accusing them of blocking my traffic.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!
