You seem to be trying to route this through the local host, 127.0.0.1 and so you may need to adjust the sendmail.cf file, usually found under /etc somewhere (use find /etc -name sendmail.cf)
Within this file, find and uncomment the DS statement. It sould have the format:
This would need to be your local mail server and that would need to have whatever routing rules to allow you to send through it. Often these are open, but many companies shut them down to avoid sending vast amounts of spam if a desktop is compromised by a virus.
Best to use a DNS name that resolves the IP address. You may need to stop/start the sendmail service to activate the update.
You also need to check that there are no blocks on your path the the mail server. Try a
You should get output like:
Quote:
Trying...
Connected to mymail.router.company.
Escape character is '^]'.
220-SMTP Relay
220 Warning: no name found in DNS for your host address quit
221 mymail.router.company closing
Connection closed.
If you don't then a long delay suggests wrong IP address, firewall block or wrong routing information in the network. A fast rejection may suggest that this is not the mail server.
I hope that this helps.

Just implemented sendmail on rh9. The clients are timing out or dropping a connection to the server. What's up? I've been tweaking, but no noticable change. They can recieve and send mail, but it errors out consistently and then reconnects fine. Am I missing a timeout setting in the cf file? ... (1 Reply)

logwatch
LOGWATCH(8) User Manuals LOGWATCH(8)NAME
logwatch - system log analyzer and reporter
SYNOPSIS
logwatch [--detail level ] [--logfile log-file-group ] [--service service-name ] [--mailto address ] [--archives] [--range range ] [--debug
level ] [--filename file-name ] [--logdir directory ] [--hostname hostname ] [--hostformat host based options ] [--output output-type ]
[--format report format ] [--encode encoding to use ] [--numeric] [--version] [--help|--usage]
DESCRIPTION
Logwatch is a customizable, pluggable log-monitoring system. It will go through your logs for a given period of time and make a report in
the areas that you wish with the detail that you wish. Logwatch is being used for Linux and many types of UNIX.
OPTIONS --detail level
This is the detail level of the report. level can be a positive integer, or high, med, low, which correspond to the integers 10, 5,
and 0, repectively.
--logfile log-file-group
This will force Logwatch to process only the set of logfiles defined by log-file-group (i.e. messages, xferlog, ...). Logwatch will
therefore process all services that use those logfiles. This option can be specified more than once to specify multiple logfile-
groups.
--service service-name
This will force Logwatch to process only the service specified in service-name (i.e. login, pam, identd, ...). Logwatch will there-
fore also process any log-file-groups necessary to process these services. This option can be specified more than once to specify
multiple services to process. A useful service-name is All which will process all services (and logfile-groups) for which you have
filters installed.
--mailto address
Mail the results to the email address or user specified in address. This option overrides the --print option.
--range range
You can specify a date-range to process. Common ranges are Yesterday, Today, All, and Help. Additional options are listed when
invoked with the Help parameter.
--archives
Each log-file-group has basic logfiles (i.e. /var/log/messages) as well as archives (i.e. /var/log/messages.? or /var/log/mes-
sages.?.gz). When used with "--range all", this option will make Logwatch search through the archives in addition to the regular
logfiles. For other values of --range, Logwatch will search the appropriate archived logs.
--debug level
For debugging purposes. level can range from 0 to 100. This will really clutter up your output. You probably don't want to use
this.
--filename file-name
Save the output to file-name instead of displaying or mailing it.
--logdir directory
Look in directory for log subdirectories or log files instead of the default directory.
--hostname hostname
Use hostname for the reports instead of this system's hostname. In addition, if HostLimit is set in the logwatch.conf configuration
file (see MORE INFORMATION, below), then only logs from this hostname will be processed (where appropriate).
--numeric
Inhibits additional name lookups, displaying IP addresses numerically.
--usage
Displays usage information
--help same as --usage.
FILES
/usr/share/logwatch/
This directory contains all the perl executables and configuration files shipped with the logwatch distribution.
/etc/logwatch
This directory contains local configuration files that override the default configuration. See MORE INFORMATION below for more
information.
EXAMPLES
logwatch --service ftpd-xferlog --range all --detail high --print --archives
This will print out all FTP transfers that are stored in all current and archived xferlogs.
logwatch --service pam_pwdb --range yesterday --detail high --print
This will print out login information for the previous day...
MORE INFORMATION
The directory /usr/share/doc/logwatch-* contains several files with additional documentation:
HOWTO-Customize-LogWatch
Documents the directory structure of Logwatch configuration and executable files, and describes how to customize Logwatch by over-
riding these default files.
LICENSE
Describes the License under which Logwatch is distributed. Additional clauses may be specified in individual files.
README
Describes how to install, where to find it, mailing lists, and other useful information.
