djatwork has raised a very interesting problem here. Is it true that you need port 110(POP3) to be open for sending email out ??
I can send email out fine but when I check my port 110 is not open. The problem I have is that I can not receive email at all or can not send email locally (between my users).
Here is what I get using the netstat command :
<pre>
% netstat -a |grep 25
*.1225 Idle
isgsi01.32925 isgsi01.32917 32768 0 32768 0 ESTABLISHED
isgsi01.32917 isgsi01.32925 32768 0 32768 0 ESTABLISHED
% netstat -a |grep 110
isgsi01.1521 10.153.6.198.1108 16210 0 8760 0 ESTABLISHED
% netstat -a |grep mail
%
I get nothing here.
</pre>
It seems like I get nothing relevant here about ports 25 and 110. I still can send email out to the outside world, any ideas at all please guys?
Also trying the 'newaliases' command I get :
<pre>
% newaliases
WARNING: World writable directory /var
WARNING: World writable directory /etc
dbm map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/mail/aliases: No such file or directory
Cannot create database for alias file /etc/mail/aliases
</pre>
Anyone played around with sendmail before?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP
