deinstaled everything means sendmail and one dependent package, which is there by default.

Beside the [b]sendmail[/b] you also need [b]sendmail-cf[/b] and then [b]reconfigure[/b] the service described in [url=http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/index.html]Deployment Guide[/url]'s [b]Chapter # 23[/b].
Hint, There is a [b]m4[/b] command in the guide.
[code]yum install sendmail sendmail-cf sendmail-doc m4[/code]

If you use [url=http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables]iptables[/url]:
[code][b]iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT[/b][/code]

Thanks all.

[quote]yum install sendmail sendmail-cf sendmail-doc m4[/quote]

used that, then as complained and service would not start, added -o option in pointed to lines in pointed to files.

Then service started.

Sending did not work, and, damn, the reason is in address that I'm sending mail to, which is my personal mail !!!
That worked not so long ago.
