E-mail problem
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

reporter-mailx
REPORTER-MAILX(1) LIBREPORT MANUAL REPORTER-MAILX(1)
NAME
reporter-mailx - Sends contents of a problem directory via email.
SYNOPSIS
reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE]
DESCRIPTION
The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified
recipient.
Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables.
Configuration file
Configuration file contains entries in a format "Option = Value".
The options are:
Subject
The subject of the email message.
EmailFrom
The sender of the email message.
EmailTo
The recipient of the email message.
SendBinaryData
Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large.
Integration with ABRT events
reporter-mailx can be used as a reporter, to allow users report problems via email when they decide to do it. This usage is pre-configured
in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf:
EVENT=report_Mailx reporter-mailx
It can also be used to notify administrator automatically when a problem happens. When this is desired, modify the event configuration file
to run the tool on the post-create event:
EVENT=post-create reporter-mailx
OPTIONS
-d DIR
Path to problem directory.
-c CONFFILE
Path to configuration file. When used in ABRT event system, the file contains site-wide configuration. Users can change the values via
environment variables.

Mailx_Subject
Subject of the email message.
Mailx_EmailFrom

Mailx_EmailTo
Recipient of the email message. If nor the environment variable nor the corresponding option is defined, the message is send to
"root@localhost".
Mailx_SendBinaryData
