[BlueOnyx:03867] Re: Help smtp blocked somehow.

[Menno Jansz]

Ah, I've now figured out why. Sendmail seems to be setup only to bind to
localhost.

My /etc/mail/sendmail.cf contains:

O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

Any ideas why it's set like this? Have I forgotten to set something up in the
BlueOnyx GUI?

Cheers,
Menno
