Sendmail auth/ident checking issue
Hi All,
I have a problem sending mail to a host which seems to have sendmail configured to use Ident port (113) to check back on the mail sender. The host is Sol 9 and sendmail version is 8.13.8+Sun/8.12.9.
My problem is that this port is not enabled on the firewalls between sender and receiver so the ident checking and hence the mail is failing and I need to turn this checking off.
I modified sendmail.cf to include an ident timeout "O Timeout.ident=0s" which I believe is supposed to eliminate this checking yet firewall logs indicate it is still happening.
I can telnet the server on port 25 and have dialogue with the mail server and even supposedly leave a mail though when I try to check it on the host it says there is none.
Any advice on how to get the mail through - particularly any more sendmail.cf settings - would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
