Re: [SM-USERS] Can't send emails from Squirrelmail 1.4.3a-6.FC3 on Fedora Core 3

[Tony <tb...@gm...>]

Hi Jonathan:

That did the trick. I can now send/receive using Squirrelmail.

So I can doc this, is this an accurate statement: when using
Squirrelmail with Sendmail, if SELinux is enabled on the FC3 machine,
the FC3 machine will refuse access to the sendmail binary.
To configure Squirrelmail to allow to for this, try setting
SquirrelMail to use SMTP instead of Sendmail (run the config tool
config/conf.pl, and go to server settings).

Thanks so much.

Tony.
