sendmail question
Hello all,
On my solaris 9 I have this process running
smmsp 29138 1 0 Apr 17 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m
root 29137 1 0 Apr 17 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -q15m
if i use the command /usr/bin/mconnect
connecting to host localhost (127.0.0.1), port 25
connect: Connection refused
For is correct beacause I DON'T want smp server on this server, all mail suposed relay to my domino server.
all destination for outside work well, My problem if i send a mail to my localhost I see in syslog this messages.
Apr 18 14:39:23 fourmis1 sendmail[13946]: [ID 801593 mail.info] l3IIcbd6013946: to=bacert, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=32661, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
I a many scripts try to send to local hosts and syslog come big.
I dont want remove log sendmail to the syslog. And I dont want activate port 25 for security. I work in a banq and I no choice to log all in syslog and I cannot activate local mail server.
It this possible to configure sendmail client if it see a local mail to put the mail in maildirectory or activate de mailserver without activate port 25 for process locahost mail only....
THANK FOUR YOUR HELP....

mconnect
mconnect(1) User Commands mconnect(1)
NAME
mconnect - connect to SMTP mail server socket
SYNOPSIS
mconnect [-p port] [-r] [hostname]
DESCRIPTION
The mconnect utility opens a connection to the mail server on a given host, so that it can be tested independently of all other mail soft-
ware. If no host is given, the connection is made to the local host. Servers expect to speak the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) on
this connection. Exit by typing the quit command. Typing EOF sends an end of file to the server. An interrupt closes the connection immedi-
ately and exits.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-p port Specify the port number instead of the default SMTP port (number 25) as the next argument.
-r "Raw" mode: disable the default line buffering and input handling. This produces an effect similar to telnet(1) to port
number 25.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
hostname The name of a given host.
USAGE
The mconnect command is IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).
FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.hf help file for SMTP commands
