I hope I am not giving too much information here, but...
Since FreeBSD 4.3 I have had sendmail disabled. On 4/12 I upgraded from 4.4
STABLE to 4.5 STABLE. Since that particular upgrade I had not been
receiving any periodic daily/weekly run e-mails. I checked the most recent
maillog, and I found this bit of information:
Apr 18 03:00:01 mrkocol sendmail[11578]: g3IA00fJ011578: from=root,
size=262, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200204181000.g3IA00fJ011578@mrkocol.efmm>, relay=root@localhost
Apr 18 03:00:01 mrkocol sendmail[11578]: g3IA00fJ011578: to=root,
ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay,
pri=30242, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection
refused by localhost
Apr 18 03:01:03 mrkocol sendmail[11671]: gethostbyaddr(IPv6:::1) failed: 1
I compared this to an older maillog from when I was receiving the e-mails:
Apr 10 03:05:19 mrkocol sendmail[77831]: g3AA11J77831: from=root, size=351,
class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200204101001.g3AA11J77831@mrkocol.efmm>,
relay=root@localhost
Apr 10 03:05:19 mrkocol sendmail[77927]: g3AA11J77831: to=root, ctladdr=root
(0/0), delay=00:04:18, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30351,
relay=local, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
There are some obvious differences between the two ('relay=localhost
[127.0.0.1]' vs. 'relay=local', etc.), except I am not sure if they are the
cause of what is wrong here. At this point the only way I am able to send
and receive mail internally is if I enable sendmail. Doing this adds
approximately 5 minutes to my boot time, so I would like to avoid enabling
it. I also never needed it before.
Does anyone know the cause of this problem and how to fix it?
Thanks,
-Jason
