Hi everybody!
We are trying to start daemon sendmail (/sbin/init.d/sendmail start), but no process starts. What's the matter?

Re: Daemon sendmail doesn't start
You need to change the following line (i.e. set the variable) in /etc/rc.config.d/mail to activate sendmail:
export SENDMAIL_SERVER=1
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: Daemon sendmail doesn't start
After changing /etc/rc.config.d/mail, remember to re-run the startup script:
# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: Daemon sendmail doesn't start
Thanks for the correction.
It should be /etc/rc.config.d/mailserv
and not:
/etc/rc.config.d/mail
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: Daemon sendmail doesn't start
The problem is that the command: /sbin/init.d/sendmail start, doesn't do anything. It doesn't return any message nor errors. We look for the process it must be running but there is nothing executing.
In the other hand, that's what we want to do:
From one server (escp) we want to send mail to Internet through the SMTP server (hono). That server (hono) can send without problems mail to Internet. And we can access server hono from server escp by port 25 (telnet hono 25).
We don't use DNS.
Thank you in advance,
Jordi

Re: Daemon sendmail doesn't start
give this again.
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
and look for any errors given in
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
#tail /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Re: Daemon sendmail doesn't start
There is no error entries on syslog.log, only two entries some hours ago:
Jul 22 11:37:48 escp inetd [519]: ident/tcp: Exit status 1

Re: Daemon sendmail doesn't start
Ok.
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
#tail /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
get back with results.
