Problem with sending Emails

[nillo]

Hey guys, same Problem as mentioned often, but different solution I think. First off all, I've checked all the posts and tried the solutions discribed there, but they didn't help at all.
Running Scalix 1103 on a SuSE Enterprise 9 machine. Everything works fine, also receiving mails. Here's the output of omshowlog, if other logs are needed please post.

Code: Select all

WARNING                        Shared memory (Shared memory ) 05.04.07 11:32:25
[OM 24142] Conversion from SJIS to ISO8859_1 not found.


WARNING                        Shared memory (Shared memory ) 05.04.07 11:32:25
[OM 24142] Conversion from ISO2022CN to ISO8859_1 not found.


I don't think this deals with my Emails...
Scalix SMTP and all other services are running fine...

Please Help me

No one has any hint?

Hi Nillo!

In order to prevent the internal format being used the ~/sys/mime.cs file can be extended
to have an explicit mapping, for ex. ISO-8859-2 (and any more ISO-8859-* values that
may be used). So for ISO-8559-2, add the line "ISO-8859-2<tab>ISO-8859-2" after the
line for ISO8859_1 to give a mime.cs file that looks like this:

UNIXJIS ISO-2022-JP
KSC5601 EUC-KR
KSC5601 ks_c_5601-1987
HZGB2312 HZ-GB-2312
ISO8859_1 ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-2 ISO-8859-2
UTF7 UTF-7
UTF7 UTF7

Nothing needs to be restarted for this to take effect.

In your case, Scalix Server was unable to find a conversion for SJIS and ISO2022CN,
between Scalix character set names and RFC 1521 (MIME) character set names, if you
know the character set that is used for these, we can add the conversion rule for them
in mime.cs file. I saw my resources and found that for SJIS and ISO2022CN, it should be:

Code: Select all

SJIS<tab>Shift_JIS
ISO2022CN<tab>ISO-2022-CN

Note: <tab> is notation of pressing tab key to separate the two character set names.

Check if this helps.

Thanks!

Hi Subir!
Thanks for the answer!

I added the two entries in mime.cs but it didn't help.
But I have news:
The problem is, that sendmail and omsmtpd don't run together. When I kill omsmtpd and start sendmail my messages are sent. But i cannot run them simultaneously. This thread helped :
http://www.scalix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7040&highlight=sendmail
Now a question: How do I get a new sendmail.cf? I cannot "make" one...
and with

Code: Select all

m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf

i get

Code: Select all

Cannot open /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/scalix.m4: No such file or directory

Thanks

Hi Subir!

Got the m4 file, found it on a different place and copied it.
But i cannot get Sendmail and omsmtpd run at the same time. Copied the sendmail.mc from the other thread, it compiled me the sendmail.cf but it still doesn't work.
I get only started omsmtpd or sendmail, but not both at the same time.

Here's the file:

Hi!

Check if RPM for m4 is installed, also if it is installed try running the command

Code: Select all

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

then run command

Code: Select all

omsendin

to make Scalix changes take effect in sednmail.cf.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Subir

Hi Subir!
Yes m4 is installed and I run omsendin without errors. But sendmail and omsmtpd still won't run simultaneously.
Should I post other config files or logs?

Thanks Nillo

[ScalixSupport]

Hi Nillo!

Can you change the line in your sendmail.mc:

Code: Select all

DAEMON_OPTIONS (`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

to be

Code: Select all

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

Note the removed space before the "(" and then space replaced by the dnl at the end.

After this, rerun the following command sequence:

Code: Select all

cd /etc/mail
service sendmail stop
rm -f *.cf
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
omsendin
service sendmail start

Please reply if this works.

Thanks,
Subir
