daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Hi All,
I install sendmail-8.12.8-4 on RedHat9, and everything is working just
fine (I am getting mail from the world), but when I open the mailog
file, I saw these error.
I read about this on the web and I found that I need to check my
"DaemonPortOptions" I checked it and every thing is ok.
Someone have an idea ?

And I also check this:

And provided you have some form of linux, you can use:
sudo netstat -ntlp
or (as root if you don't have sudo set up)
netstat -ntlp
otherwise lsof is the way to go.
hth,

Eeek! I mean, I guess you could run nmap, but the correct way of doing
that is "lsof -i". If you know the port number "lsof -i :num".

Hi Idan,
You may want to run `nmap` on your mail host IP to see which processes are using which ports.
I'm not sure what the problem is but it could be that your firewall is blocking those ports.
If you are using iptables you may try `iptables --flush` or even `/sbin/service iptables stop`
to stop the firewall, then just for a short period, test your sendmail config again and then run
`/sbin/service iptables restart`.
Anyway, the spamassassin-users group is not the right mailing list.
You may want to check out Linux-IL (linux.org.il) which is quite active.
