Scalix Forums

Hi there,

I have a CentOS -4 with sendmail and Scalix 10 community edition. I can't seem
to be able to send email outside of the server using the browser based email.
I get this popup error box saying "Unable to send mail to: user@gmail.com"

netstat show 192.168.2.65 (eth0) is listening on port 25 but not
localhost/127.0.0.1. I did not see any message in /var/log/maillog, unless scalix
logs it somewhere else.

I did try to send email from command line, which failed, but at least I got something
on /var/log/maillog. snippet below:

Mar 14 12:19:30 newdmt sendmail[3384]: k2EHJUcu003384: from=robertof, size=52, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200603141719.k2EHJUcu003384@newdmt.dmtserv.com>, relay=robertof@localhost
Mar 14 12:19:30 newdmt sendmail[3384]: k2EHJUcu003384: to=joe_schmoe@gmail.com, ctladdr=robertof (500/500), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30052, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

sendmail/scalix seems to be listening only on 192.168.2.65(eth0) and not on
127.0.0.1(localhost). I don't know if this is normal for system running Scalix.

I made sure localhost/127.0.0.1 can RELAY in smtpd.cfg.

thanks,
roberto

That indicates that sendmail is not configured to run.

In /etc/sysconfig/sendmail, the line should read DAEMON=yes. Is this the case ?

If not, make the change and restart Scalix.

Cheers

I was under the impression that I have to change daemon to no after reading Scalix Administration Guide, Chapter 4 SMTP Relay section.


I will enable the daemon and try it again.

thanks a bunch,
roberto

P.S.

On Ch. 2 of Scalix Admin guide, pg. 12 - Creating Local Mailnode
The line:

Use the -d option to specify the Internet Domain for mailmode.

should say

Use the -D option to specify the Internet Domain for mailmode.

What page did you see this ? I ask because I raised a bug report prior to release to have that point removed and I don't see reference to it in my copy of the guide.

Cheers

Page 38 of Scalix Administration Guide. Under "SMTP Relay".

FYI...Document was downloaded from Scalix's Knowledge-Base -> Guide.

The knowledgebase copy is still the 9.4 version and we're working hard to get that updated.

The documentation/ directory of your installation media has the version of the Admin Guide that you need.

Cheers

Thanks for the info and the prompt reply to my orignial post.

Page of Scalix Administration under "Creating a Local Mailnode".
The line that says:
