Hi guys,

I've never run into this before so im hoping you guys can help me.

Twice in the last few days i've had to recompile the sendmail.mc >
sendmail.cf because of the following errors.

---From the logs---
Aug 19 22:12:14 NS2 sendmail[2613]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): No local mailer
defined: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Aug 19 22:12:14 NS2 sendmail[2613]: NOQUEUE:   0: fl=0x8002, mode=20620:
CHR:
size=0
Aug 19 22:12:14 NS2 sendmail[2613]: NOQUEUE:   1: fl=0x8001, mode=20666:

localhost->[[UNIX: /dev/log]]
Aug 19 22:12:14 NS2 sendmail[2613]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): QueueDirectory
(Q)
option must be set
-------------------

And now i have a big problem that i can't figure out.

When someone from the outside tries to connect to sendmail using the domains
(ex. mail.something.com) i get  "Connection Refused" it works fine if you're
on the machine and sending mail localy.  Sendmail's set up to use SASL. It
worked fine up until this week i made no changes what so ever.(I disabled
iptables to make sure its not the firewall) HTTP SSH POP3 and MYSQL all
connected fine. Anyone have any ideas ? I really need help on this one.

Florian
