This section contains information related to the mail transport agents included with Fedora Core.

mailman
Earlier  RPMs installed all files under the   directory. Unfortunately, this did not conform to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) and also created security violations when SELinux was enabled.

If you previously had  installed and had edited files in   (such as  ) you must move those changes to their new location, as documented in the following file:

sendmail

 * By default, the Sendmail mail transport agent (MTA) does not accept network connections from any host other than the local computer. If you want to configure Sendmail as a server for other clients, you must edit  and change the DAEMON_OPTIONS line to also listen on network devices (or comment out this option entirely using the dnl comment delimiter). You must then regenerate   by running the following command (as root):

make -C /etc/mail

Note that you must have the  package installed for this to work.
