I haven't made any changes to my sendmail configuration, and all other services (pop3, ftp, ssh, etc.) seem to be working properly. This seems to have started with my last reboot (last night, to upgrade to the latest 2.4 series kernel). I'm lost here… anyone have ideas/suggestions?
Running Gentoo 1.4 on a Linode 96, host 11. Sendmail is configured to listen on both smtp and port 2525 through daemon_options in sendmail.mc.
Edited to add:
Ignore this. A run through the output of netstat -lp cleared things up… a portforwarding service I thought was disabled, wasn't.

There seems to be alot of Q's about this on the net, but no answers.
Im a realtive n00b to Linux so dont make it too technical.
So… if you're running into this kind of problem, check to see if two or more of your servers are trying to use the same port. (You can get a list of the ports in use using netstat like I did.)
As for being a n00b… heh, I still consider myself one. But we all learn what we need to know, eventually.
I check it by telneting to the port 25. Sendmail replyed.
Right now it looks more like a rights issue on some files.
Have to do some more investigaton here. Root get permision denied when trying to send mail…….
