Thread: Configure sendmail server on red hat Linux

How to configure sendmail server on red hat Linux version 4 and what and all we require? If anyone knows how to do this, then please reply here with the particular method. All possible replies and suggestions on this subject are very much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Sendmail must be installed by default when you install Red Hat Linux. If it is not in that case you should install the Sendmail RPM's with the Red Hat distribution.

• Configuring Sendmail

• Edit file "/etc/mail/sendmail.mc" - Look for the line:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

• Change this line to:

dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

• Save the file.

• Make the sendmail configuration file:

• m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

• Restart Sendmail:

• # /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail reboot
