Description Andre Meyer 2006-08-10 11:45:34 UTC

calling sendmail returns the following error:

~ # sendmail -froot@x root@x                                  
/var/MailRoot/spool/temp/1155235286000.3745.x: No such file or directory

the MAIL_ROOT is only correct in the chrooted env.
unsetting it helps, but the var is used in the init-script.

Comment 2 Antonio Cárdenas 2007-01-29 03:47:08 UTC

The problem here is not xmail but sendmail.
Sendmail is not lisening to the port 25

You can test it with the command:
telnet localhost smtp 
and it never gets the hello greeting
========
# telnet localhost smtp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
