I have installed scalix 11.0.0.613 on Fedora Core 5 (2.6.9-023stab033.7-smp)

Via Web Mail interface i send to internal accounts and it works fine. But if i send a message to an external mail, it was moved into Drafts folder and in the "/var/log/messages" i see:

Dec 21 12:45:58 scalix saslauthd[15575]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=amatizi] [service=smtp] [realm=scalix.niceweb.it] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]

my smtp.cfg file is "/var/opt/scalix/sx/s/sys/smtpd.cfg" :

EXTENSIONS=AUTH,DSN,8BITMIME
RELAY accept 127.0.0.1
RELAY accept 212.35.207.247
RELAY accept .niceweb.it
RELAY Log_Reject ALL
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *@*@*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *%*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *!*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *#*@*
[SUBMIT]
ANONYMOUS Log_Reject ALL
[LMTP]
LISTEN=localhost:24

Any idea ?
Thanks!

Hi!

I request you to add following line to your /var/opt/scalix/sx/s/sys/smtpd.cfg

Code: Select all

DEBUG_LOG=TRUE

and restart relay with

Code: Select all

omoff -d0 smtpd
omon smtpd

This will generate a logfile at /var/opt/scalix/sx/s/tmp/smtpd-SMTP.log.

Try sending a message again and then take a copy of the log file that is generated.

If you can post the log file (edit it for security if required ) then we can see what's
going on.

NB: Turn off the debugging once you have finished as this can cause a number of
problems if the log file grows over 2Gb.

Thanks,
Subir

Hi!

I searched the forum and found the following two posts, see if they help you. They are:

http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=952
http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2234

Please make sure that

the forward and reverse lookups for the server work fine for the server.

Also check if

the /etc/hosts file have an entry for 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Please feel free to reply with your concerns.

Warm Regards,
Subir

This is my hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
212.35.207.247 scalix.niceweb.it scalix

AND reverse lookup work fine.

-bash-3.1# ping scalix.niceweb.it

i have send the "omcheck -i -s" coomand e restarted scalix. In the scalix FATAl log i have.

Can be the problem related to reverse lookup ?

-bash-3.1# nslookup 212.35.207.247

Server: 212.35.206.22
Address: 212.35.206.22#53

-bash-3.1#

It seems that the xinetd sendmail service listen on all interfaces

-bash-3.1# omoff -d0 smtpd
Disabling 1 subsystem(s).
-bash-3.1# chkconfig sendmail on
-bash-3.1# service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
-bash-3.1# lsof -i :25
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
xinetd 21607 root 5u IPv4 28396905 TCP *:smtp (LISTEN)

i'hve tried this
sent msg to external addres from Webmail
stopped scalix smtpd
started xinetd

the message was deliverde to external mailbox and the Internet Mail Gatweay queue is empty !

Then

-bash-3.1# chkconfig sendmail off
-bash-3.1# service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
-bash-3.1# omon smtpd
Enabling 1 subsystem(s).
-bash-3.1# lsof -i :25
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
omsmtpd 21663 root 5u IPv4 28398694 TCP scalix.niceweb.it:smtp (LISTEN)

I'have also modified /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file with Addr=127.0.0.1 directive but it was ignored by xinetd!!!

I have a thread open on this same topic...I finally got something back.

MSN of all things shed some light

Basically it resolved the name but the server send the localhost.localdomain in the email header....this is not well received by these mail servers apparently. Yahoo didn't mind, to funny

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2006 4:21 am**

Hi niceweb,

Do you see the issue resolved as you were able to send message to external mailbox.

Kindly update.

Thanks,
Subir

Messages was succesgfully delivered to sendmai but it return this error message:

Message could not be delivered to the following recipient:

because: A mail transport failure occurred

Hi!

What is the result for the command:

Code: Select all

lsof -i :25

Also, Karl has mentioned about the following post, I suppose:
http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=5347

Thanks,

Hi,

the output is:

-bash-3.1# lsof -i :25
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
omsmtpd 1620 root 5u IPv4 31045665 TCP scalix.niceweb.it:smtp (LISTEN)

Thanks..

Posted: **Fri Dec 29, 2006 6:58 am**

Hi!

For me it is:

[root@subir-rhel4 ~]# lsof -i :25
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sendmail 2198 root 3u IPv4 5303 TCP localhost.localdomain:smtp (LISTEN)
omsmtpd 7704 root 5u IPv4 47522 TCP subir-rhel4.scalix.co.in:smtp (LISTEN)
[root@subir-rhel4 ~]#

Let me see what stops you to only have omsmtpd listed while sendmail does not appear.

Warm Regards,
Subir
