F9: Sendmail Issues...

[Daniel B. Thurman]

I am having a bit of trouble getting sendmail to work
properly.  Strangely, I encountered something that I
never saw before (in messages log file when (re)starting
sendmail), but found resolution for, was this:

in Messages log file:
STARTTLS: CRLFile missing

The solution is:
1) cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
2) wget http://www.cacert.org/revoke.crl
3) Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and add line:
   define(`confCRL', `/usr/share/ssl/certs/revoke.crl')
4) chcon -u system_u /etc/pki/tls/certs/revoke.crl
5) service sendmail restart
... and the message in messages no longer appears.

With that out of the way, I am still unable to figure
out why I am not able to get Thunderbird (IMAP) to
connect to my local system, sendmail port 25.

But I do notice, that I can telnet localhost 25, and the sendmail
prompt appears, I can, on other machines local to my network
`telnet <host-under-test> 25' and sendmail prompts as well.

I am still trying to figure this out to no resolution at this point,
and do not know what to do...

Another issue.  I get the following, also appearing in Messages log file:

Clearly, apache is sending a local message of a problem,
but what I do not understand are these lines:

1) Dec 21 14:08:01 bronze sendmail[10866]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=6/4, 
err=2
2) Dec 21 14:08:01 bronze sendmail[10866]: STARTTLS=server, SSL_shutdown 
not done

Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do for further
investigation as to what is going on, if there is a problem,
or if these issues can be fixed?

Thanks!
