sendEmail from Konsole isn't Working

[DarkDavil]

Well - the title really says its all, what I'm doing is im trying to send my-self an email with a false link in it(and ip link -> 20.19.13141.1414........) and when I click it - it'll go to a website that has been cloned and then I can take control using the meterpreter tools. So i get the clone and everything set-up perfectly fine, but when i go the send the email - it doesn't work

I type in:
(in konsole)

sendEmail -f (my @ yahoo email) -t (my @gmail email) -u"hey" -m "random messege...http://20.XX.XXX

and i hit <enter> - which returns this messege:

May 09 05:38:10 backtrack sendEmail[22342]: ERROR => Connection attempt to localhost:25 failed: IO::Socket::INET: connect: Connection refused

I've google'd it - but with very odd results, and with mostly answers that I don't understand.

Read the help page and pay attention to the -s flag.

Do you even have sendmail started?

[thorin]

I'm with purehate you can't connect to port 25 because there is no mail server (sendmail) listening/started.

[killadaninja]

sendEmail  -s plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465 -f "your account" -m "insert message here" -t "Victims account" -xu "your account" -xp "yourpassword"

Or something similar.

Note, the -s flag above might not be right but it`s an example.

That is the correct command however I am fairly sure it will not work until the sendmail daemon is started

Why not use SET ? It's easier.

I have "Starting Mail Transport Agent (MTA): sendmail_
started as a service, so I know that's started.

It actually takes up a few more minutes to start Backtrack4 Final when you have
sendmail starting up as a service, nevertheless it's started.

I set up my firewall to allow 25tcp, 25udp, any.

My first command:

sendEmail -v  -f coding.s9@gmail.com -t munya2005@aol.com -u "Dude, Check out this cool link"Reading message body from STDIN because the '-m' option was not used.
If you are manually typing in a message:
  - First line must be received within 60 seconds.
  - End manual input with a CTRL-D on its own line.

The problem is that when I check my test cases email inbox, including the Spam inbox, there is nothing, so what I am dong wrong?

Output from sendmail says "Email was sent successfully!"?

Just wondering does it matter that My IP address above is: 127.0.0.1?

The reason I ask, is cause, W@r~l0RD says to try:
nano /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
comment out (or deletd) the following line's:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

And
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart

My guess is that sendmail is bound to send mail to 127.0.0.1:25 and will generate a successful message, so
then one has to change that address or comment it out?

I even tried switching the emails around with the From: <munya2005@aol.com> To: <coding.s9@gmail.com>, still nothing, in either email inbox, including the spam inbox?

Oh, and sorry for hijacking this thread, I have just been thinking about this for a while, having sendmail working, and DarkDavil, just made me also have to ask about why my config is also not working.

[DarkDavil]

I'm with purehate you can't connect to port 25 because there is no mail server (sendmail) listening/started.

Got it! Thanks everyone :P It wasn't started (I guess i forgot to turn it on :P, on my Kubuntu, I usually just have it start up at boot.)

Thanks to everyone

Why not use SET ? It's easier.

SET's nice, but I wanted to at least learn how to get sendmail to work.
