<0> how do you alter what name sendmail server calls itself on connect?
<1> umm smtp greeting
<1> sec
<1> define(`confSMTP_LOGIN_MSG
<1> i do something like --- just to keep them guesing define(`confSMTP_LOGIN_MSG', `host.domain.com Sendmail 8.6.12/SMI-SVR4; $b')dnl
<0> hmm thanks
<2> hello
<2> i hope you guys/girl are ready to get busy with my intersting question
<2> ok.
<2> we have two boxes, live.domain.com and live2.domain.com
<2> both have the same sendmail configuration.
<2> however, when we send mail from live2, there are no problems, but when we send mail from live, a few recipeint mail servesr will time out. not all recipient servers do this, but a few do.
<2> how do i fix that? or rather how do i trouble shoot this?
<2> i've tried using the -bD flag for sendmail
<2> can anyone email me a valid sendmail.m4 file? we are running sendmail version 8.13.7
<2> are there people here, or will i be wasting my time with my questions?
<3> how will you know until you ask?
<2> great!
<2> read the questions i have already posted...just slightly above your last line
<4> Skigel is my colleague
<4> He inadvertently signed off.
<4> Please continue with your answer.
<3> timeouts occur on the same hosts each time?
<3> or does it vary?
<4> It's the same group of hosts, yes it does.
<4> WB Skigel ;-p
<2> wow, my computer just crapped out on me
<2> i'm back, yes, the same servers
<3> i dont see how a sendmail misconfiguration would do that.
<3> it could be a network problem or the hosts you're sending to maybe using tarpits
<2> hmmm
<2> what's a tarpit?
<3> during one of these timeouts, try telneting to that host and check if telnet times out
<2> it does
<3> telnet times out?
<2> yes
<3> <2> what's a tarpit?
<3> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_(networking)
<2> interesting read
<2> so i need to increase the greeting delay?
<2> or i should try that?
<3> which domain are you sending too
<3> some domains like aol.com will only accept a certain number of recipients per envelope
<2> irvmailfe.wbhq.com
<2> telnet irvmailfe.wbhq.com 25
<2> ..which works fine on other servers, just not this one particular one
<3> irvmailfe.wbhq.com seems to be using a packet filter
<2> interesting
<2> what does that mean to me?
<3> means more stringent checks on incoming connections
<2> ok
<3> possible connection limiting
<2> how do i get this one server through?
<3> call the postmaster and ask
<5> hello folks.
<2> i see. their log files would probably help us out?
<3> ask him what his logs say on the initial timing out connection
<5> I am having an issue with milter-greylist regarding its socket file
<2> wonderful
<5> Starting: sendmail-submitWARNING: Xgreylist: local socket name /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock missing
<5> however, if I touch that file to create it, I get
<5> Jan 24 05:14:27 archeron sm-mta[51219]: l0O5ERGh051219: Milter (greylist): open /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock failed: Socket operation on non-socket
<5> if it needs a system socket, should it not be created by the milter at run time?
<3> try creating it and see what happens
<3> according to the docs you should manually create them
<5> hmm
<5> i have created one and I get that second error I posted.
<5> got a link to the doc section you found that in?
<3> touch /var/milter-greylist.sock
<3> touch /var/run/milter-greylist.pid
<5> perhaps there is a way to define that file as a socket
<5> it starts without complaint if I touch the .sock file
<5> no dice on delivery though
<5> get these:
<5> Jan 24 21:18:25 archeron sm-mta[95580]: l0OLIPVh095580: Milter (greylist): open /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock failed: Socket operation on non-socket
<5> Jan 24 21:18:25 archeron sm-mta[95580]: l0OLIPVh095580: Milter (greylist): error connecting to filter: Socket operation on non-socket
<3> check the ownership on /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock
<5> root:wheel
<5> should be smmsp?
<6> Archeron you have to start the milter daemon first
<6> and make sure it is creating that socket in the same location sendmail expects it
<4> pip_: thanks chief ;)
<3> sure eggy432. np
<5> Trengo: how does one normally start the milter daemon?
<6> Archeron no idea, its your milter :s
<3> yes, it should be smmsp
<3> on freebsd it should be mailnull
<5> any ideas what said daemon should be called? I installed milter-greylist from freebsd ports
<6> Archeron /etc/init.d/milter-greylist start ?
<6> no idea
<6> sorry, i'm not used to fbsd either
<5> gottit
<3> i use freebsd
<5> the port installs a rc script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
<6> start it from there?
<6> perhaps /usr/local/etc/rc.d/init.d/milter-greylist start ?
<3> /usrt/local/etc/rc.d/milter-greylist.sh start
<3> set your variables in /etc/rc.conf first
<5> yeah
<5> got it wired
<6> and then restart sendmail
<5> should be good now. Thanks guys
