sendmail

I have installed OpenDKIM, and using Sendmail. I am trying to make the outgoing email signed by OpenDKIM. I created the keys, added the txt record, from the OpenDKIM package I understood the search directory for opendkim.conf to be /usr/local/etc/mail/opendkim.conf . I have my selector as...

Hi, I'm hoping to learn what I'm doing wrong here. I have a web server with a few sites that send outgoing messages from PHP (shopping cart receipts, contact forms, etc) I'm running FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p11 GENERIC I've been using the default Sendmail configuration that comes with FreeBSD...

My longterm home server (a HP Microserver Gen 7) runs FBSD on a ZFS raid-z2 since installation about 10 years ago. Did all the major and minor updates without major problems (except the one time it didn't boot from ZFS after an upgrade). Now I did the upgrade 13.2->14.0. Worked fine. I'm using...

I've been trying to figure out if I really need sendmail, or if there's a better option in 2022 for FreeBSD 13? I read that disabling it entails: sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" But what are the consequences? I do...

I'm receiving mail from a server without a PTR record for an emailaddress that is forwarded in aliases to a gmail account. In the maillog it says it's deferred, but actually the mail is forwarded as is to our friends of the alphabet holding. I put the IP address of this rogue server in access in...

In a lab VM environment, I have installed postfix, tried disabling sendmail, postfix logs still say something about sendmail such as Jul 2 18:21:51 6 sendmail[79052]: 262ILX6p079052: to=m...@mail.pcxx.n2.xxx-xx.org, delay=00:00:18, mailer=esmtp, pri=30112, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued Then I...

For a long time, I have my Sendmail configured to relay some messages through Gmail. This worked fine, using Cyrus-SASL, `SMART_HOST` and an `authinfo` file. However, today it stopped working, and from research I learn that Google is turning off that method of authentication — no more plain...

I'm trying to replace mailman with mlmmj and having a bit of trouble. I run just a few simple lists, so this shouldn't be a big deal. Also, I'm running sendmail (from ports) and have done so successfully for years, and I have downloaded the pkg version of mlmmj. I'm now trying to install a...

I have let my installation drift a bit, so it is running an outdated 11.3-RELEASE-p3. I'm currently doing a source upgrade to 11.4, and from there I'm planning to jump to 12.x. But currently I'm stuck on the 11.4 compile, because sendmail fails. The compile error is: main.o: In function...

I hope this is the right forum for this. I'm trying to use /usr/bin/vacation in the usual way, to autorespond to incoming messages. The problem is that if a message is sent to an intermediate email account that then forwards to the message to an account on my mail server, an autoresponse is...

Hi all, I need to specify an IPv6 prefix in /etc/mail/access using CIDR notation and it doesn't seem to work (nor can I find it documented). My range is similar to: "2001:DB8:1111:2200::/56". My network doesn't fall on a 16 bit boundary so I can't just specify "2001:DB8:1111:22" as this is...

Hello, I have an issue due to creating a lot of files in queue directory (sendmail is disabled). What are reasons for below data? user@serv:~ % sudo cat /var/spool/clientmqueue/dfx877B06e042475 /usr/libexec/save-entropy 42235 - - /var/db/entropy/saved-entropy.4 is not a regular file, and so it...

I see that the latest sendmail version is much old - more then 3 years. And the website https://www.sendmail.org goes to https://www.proofpoint.com where you can find https://www.proofpoint.com/us/open-source-email-solution and further old source form 2015 (!) Is sendmail dead and develoment...

I’m really sorry if this is documented somewhere in the handbook or elsewhere, but in my ignorance I can’t seem to find it. I’ve just installed a FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE VM, and specifically opted not to enable sendmail. In my /var/log/maillog file, I get sendmail related errors at around 3am...

I can only find information on people who only want to deliver mail locally. I want to use my Sendmail server to send messages that appear from my server. myhost.us ... I have a domain pointed to the server and it's working to deliver mail to a couple adduser created accounts. The problem...

I have only seen threads in regards to these notifications from spambots. However, there are several legitimate services that I am not receiving mail for on my mail server, and they error out with the following message: "foo.com [I.P.] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to...

I just upgraded my server from FreeBSD 10.3 to 11.1. It's now running Sendmail 8.15.2 and OpenSSL 1.0.2k-freebsd 26 Jan 2017. Since the upgrade, sending mail to my server is failing: Every time a remote MTA sends a STARTTLS command, the current sendmail instance crashes. I temporarily stopped...

Can someone confirm (or disprove) that the current version of Sendmail from ports (8.15.2_5), explicitly compiled with the blacklistd flag, has stopped feeding offending IPs (e.g. those failing do_auth) to blacklistd since Jan 3? I ran blacklistd -d to check, but the poll() revealed nothing...

Getting a TON of these in /var/log/messages Dec 17 13:32:58 kif sendmail[95760]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied I'm reluctant to change anything like /etc/opiekeys file permissions seeing as I'm not too familiar with sendmail yet, and I...

I am trying to set up a FreeBSD VPS on Digital Ocean and would like to have the server send emails to my work email whenever updates are available and when cron jobs have completed. Is there a way to do this without associating a fully qualified domain name to the server? In looking through...
