Hi,

This is on an SL4.8 server.

I've been trying to get the CLIENT_OPTIONS feature working in the sendmail.mc
with:

CLIENT_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, Name=MTA')dnl
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl

on a multi-homed server.

When I add the above (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of one of the alias
interfaces on the server) into sendmail.mc, run make (to make the sendmail.cf)
check that the ClientPortOptions is in the sendmail.cf, then restart sendmail,
I then perform a:

$ telnet another.smtp.server 25

I only get:

Nov 24 23:29:51 server sendmail[31548]: nAOCTlL3031548: some.server.com
[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA

in the "anther.smtp.server" maillogs.

I've searched the web and as far as I can tell, this should work with the
sendmail version I run, yet it doesn't.

Is the sendmail in SL4.8 compiled to support this option?

If so, any ideas why this CLIENT_OPTIONS doesn't seem to work?

Thanks.

Michael.
