For as long as I can remember on every OS I've spawned sendmail with "-q30m". Basically I could send outgoing email, but it would not open a TCP port for accepting incoming mail. This doesn't work on FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE. No doubt due to the sendmail upgrade. Ideas? Particular documents to point me at? In my miniscule knowledge of sendmail, it would seem that since /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail is setgid smmsp it could write to the queue dir /var/spool/clientmqueue (which in fact it can), and then then sm-msp-queue would send it when it checks the queue. Unfortunately sm-msp-queue is trying to connect to the local machine on TCP/25 instead of sendmail's previous methods. Jun 21 03:13:38 host sendmail[52180]: g5L3Dcfm052180: from=luser, size=3, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200206210313.g5L3Dcfm052180@host.blah.net>, relay=luser@localhost Jun 21 03:13:39 host sendmail[52180]: g5L3Dcfm052180: to=ruser@bleh.com, ctladdr=luser (1000/1000), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30003, relay=localhost.my.domain. [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.my.domain. Then as the queue is serviced, sm-msp-queue reports the same error. The obvious is fix is just to run -bd -q30m and open a TCP port, but I would like to avoid this method at all costs. There (in theory) is no need to listen on a TCP port to achieve my desired mail delivery methods. All help/pointers are appreciated.
