Hi Andrew Let me rather reframe my question what I meant to say is that it is only listening on the interface specified that is eth0 in my case but when I try sending a mail through usermin it usermin tries to relay through local host 127.0.0.1 which is denied what I want to know is how do I specify in usermin as to what host should it relay through Regards ------------------------------------ NCCAARSLEFF J V Tz RAHUL T.

[...] It's not really a webmin issue. It's a sendmail configuration problem. First, check and make sure that sendmail is only listening for connections from localhost by doing "netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep 25" and you should see something like: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN Webmin can be a good tool to help you make the necessary change though. Log in to the box through webmin, Click on Servers -> Sendmail Configuration -> Sendmail M4 Configuration and find the line that says "DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')". Click on the "Other" entry type that is at the beginning of the line and change the 127.0.0.1 to either 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces, or put the primary interface address you want it listening on. Click "Save", then "Rebuild Sendmail Configuration" at the bottom of the page, then "Yes, Replace it Now" to put the new config file in place. Now check it with the above netstat command and you should see: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN Sendmail is now happily accepting connections through the system's other interfaces, not just localhost.
