Virtuzzo - Unable to enable sendmail in Virtuzzo - Plesk

Unable to enable sendmail in Virtuzzo - Plesk

Issue:

Unable to enable the sendmail using "Virtuzzo -> system services -> xinetd (tab) -> sendmail" sec
tion.



Fix:

This is mainly occurring due to one entry in the sendmail file (which is used by the VPS)

Check the file /etc/xinetd.d/sendmail file. It will look like following:
service smtp
{
disable=yes
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
group = root
server = /usr/sbin/sendmail
server_args = -bs -Am
nice = 5
instances = 10
}

Modify it to :
service smtp
{
disable=no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
group = root
server = /usr/sbin/sendmail
server_args = -bs -Am
nice = 5
instances = 10
}

restart the xinetd using:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

Verify the sendmail status using "Virtuzzo -> system services -> xinetd (tab) -> sendmail". You c
an see that the status of sendmail now changed to enabled.
