How can i start sendmail daemon (sendmail: accepting connections on port 25)

thaks.

[Avinash Agarkar · Accepted solution]

Simply you can use -

# /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop

# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start




There is a line :
/usr/bin/sendmail -bd -q30m && echo "sendmail"

The option -q30m means 30 minutes of interval.
You can use (for example) -q20s for 20 seconds of interval or other
interval desired.

Hi Manuales,

Use the following command

# /sbin/init.d/sendmail stop

To stop the sendmail daemon.

# /sbin/init.d/sendmail start

To start the sendmail daemon.

Hi,

Cross check that sendmail is installed or not ?

hi Manuales,


Verify
Sendmail can be stopped with:
#/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop

or

#killsm
Sendmail can be started with:
#/sbin/init.d/./sendmail start

# ll /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 39 Aug 23 2006 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/contrib/sendmail/usr/sbin/sendmail


hope this help.
