One would expect that after (re)starting the server at least the time stamps would be different. Repeating the the same lines after telling us you restarted the server isn't very usefull, is it? >> I do miss an entree about starting the server though. > make start One would expect that after (re)starting the server you would get a *log*entree about that fact. Since I assumed (wrongfully no doubt) that you did a new tail on the log after restarting the server, the line "Sep 20 <timestamp> eisenhower sm-mta[PID]: starting daemon (8.13.3): SMTP+queueing(a)00:30:00" should have been there. >> Get rid of the -o (and get a warning when a file is missing) > And you're telling me this because...? I don't have any missing > files. Fine with me, then don't get a warning. Maybe you're too busy feeling corrected to notice when someone is trying to offer usefull advice? -- bOnK

Thanks for knocking down those strawmen. You have no advice to give other than to point out obvious oversights in the recreation of my command sequence. The errors are exactly the same...what difference does the time stamp make? I'm obviously working in the /etc/mail directory. None of these commands would work correctly anywhere else. You've spent a great deal of time trying to fix something that isn't broken. Unless you can help with the REAL problem (the fact that I can't get sendmail to listen on a public interface) I would appreciate if you post your trolls somewhere else. |
