RE: telnet/pop3 question

["A. Johnson Jeba Asir" <johnson ooty tenet res in>]

I belive this is something related to sendmail configuration

edit into /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and comentout the the following line
(add a dnl befor that line)

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

then backup your existing sendmail.cf file
run m4 sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
restart the sendmail

hope this will help
