Hi rockdlinux,
I disabled selinux for the dovecot daemon. I could not find a sendmail specific selinux setting, but I don't see this as a sendmail problem.
This procedure, including rebooting, yielded the same results.
There were no corresponding entries in /var/log/messages.
I disable selinux altogether, rebooted and go the same log intries in maillog.
There were no corresponding entries in /var/log/messages. Is there another log that would show the errors mentione in the maillog?
See below:
