When sending mail to another Scalix user, I am successful. When trying to send to any SMTP address, the router fails and the following is logged in the fatal log:

Hi. Does this only happen to you or to all of your users? When you type:

omshowu -n "YOUR NAME"

where YOUR NAME is your first and last name, what is returned in the Internet Address field? Could you also post your /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg file?

Thanks,
Rachel

Also,

what Linux distro is this on?
what client are you sending from (as this goes through the SMTP relay, I assume it is some POP/IMAP client or Scalix Web Access)?

you might also want to add a line reading DEBUG_LOG=TRUE in your /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg config file, restart the SMTP relay (omoff -d 0 -w smtpd; omon -w smtpd) and post the resulting /var/opt/scalix/smtpd.log log file. Don't forget to turn off afterwards.

Thanks,
Florian.

Hi

I had the Internet Mail Gateway crash with a segmentation violation. I realised that after a restart, the server time was off by quite a bit, so I rectified that with ntpdate, and since then the Internet Mail Gateway run without a hitch again.

Could that be an issue here as well?

Cheers
Chris

Most likely not, let's try to keep these two issues separate.

Waiting for the original posters reply.
