Mysql Installation - Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE SERVER 3.7 Installation Manual

Chapter 4. Installation
4.3. Sendmail Configuration
If your RHN Satellite Server will serve Monitoring-entitled systems and you wish to acknowledge via
email the alert notifications you receive, you must configure sendmail to properly handle incoming
mail. This is required by the email redirect feature, which allows you to stop notifying users about a
Monitoring-related event with a single reply.
Important
Some more restrictive corporate mail configurations will not allow mail to be sent from an address
that is not recognized as valid. Therefore, it may be necessary to configure rogerthat01@{mail
domain} as a valid email address in your corporate environment. Check with your mail systems
administrator.
To configure sendmail correcly, run the following commands as root. First, create a symbolic link
allowing sendmail to run the notification enqueuer with the following command:
ln -s /opt/notification/scripts/ack_enqueuer.pl /etc/smrsh/.
Next, edit the
/etc/aliases
rogerthat01: | /etc/smrsh/ack_enqueuer.pl
Next, edit the
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc
"DAEMON_OPTIONS('Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl"
to:
"DAEMON_OPTIONS('Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl"
Then, have the alias processed like so:
newaliases
Finally, update the
sendmail-cf
up2date sendmail-cf
Note, disconnected installs will need to obtain this package from the ISO.
Restart sendmail:
service sendmail restart
