Hello,

I've problems sending email with Sendmail over the internet.
My mails always end in up in the file /var/spool/mail/root.

This is the command:
mail cccc@hotmail.com
subject: hello
hello
.
Cc:

Thanks in advance!!

Greetings
Caroline

IS the box in question running a sendmail mailserver daemon -

Code:

ps -ef | grep sendmail

shows something like this with root as the user?

Code:

    root   839     1  0   Apr 23 ?        1:29 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m

You posted this question in 3 different forums. Not only is this annoying, it's against the rules The UNIX and Linux Forums - Forum Rules

Hey Jim,

Thanks for the quick anwser.

I execute the command you gave me, and I got the following:

[root@localhost mail]# /etc/init.d/sendmail status
sendmail (pid 26661 26652) is opgestart...
[root@localhost mail]# ps -ef | grep sendmail
root 26652 1 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: accepting connections
smmsp 26661 1 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue runner@01:00:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue
root 27537 3792 0 17:56 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sendmail
[root@localhost mail]#

What now?

Thanks in advance..

ps:sorry for my 3 threads, but I really don't know what the problem is and I have a deadline to catch

Do we need to start send mail service and is there any command
