Subject: Re: Lite and sendmail

Fernando,

Everything depends on how you start sendmail om your machine: which flags
do you pass? how looks your sendmail.cf configuration file (generally
/etc/mail/sendamil.cf) I run the same kind of applications and with a plain
vanilla sendmail 8.9, I don't run into any problems (I launch sendmail with
-bd options)
You can send me privately your config file if you want; the best resource
is the O'Reilly book (really a bible)
Finally, you can also license the commercial version of sendmail (sendamil
pro) and get support directly from Eric Altman, the creator of the sendmail
program.

sounds as thought the ACL entry for that database has been configure to
only allow local access, not remote access. Remember that remote access is
anything that is received over a TCP connection, even if the connection
originated on the same machine.
