Scalix Forums

I have set ldapmapper to listen on a 192.168 ip address instead of localhost using the /etc/sysconfig/ldapmapper file.

This works great, but now when sending mail from the scalix box through web mail the messages get stuck in the queue with:


I poked around and found where sendmail is told to find the ldapsx map in /opt/scalix/newconfig/om_sendmail.cf.

Not being the master of sendmail.cf's and also new to Scalix: Where *should* I make the change to point sendmail to the ip instead of localhost?

Or, is there a way to make ldapmapper listen on both localhost and another ip address?

Hopefully this makes sense.

The definition is done in the /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/scalix.m4 file.
But I can not see the use-case of exposing the ldapmapper to the world (or at least the local net).
Can you tell us more about it? Maybe we can find a way without the need to modify a file that can be overwritte without notice during the next upgrade.

cheers,

It might not be the best use case but it's mine

I have a postfix server that handles all of our domains. All of the aliases are handled there as well as anti-spam. I needed a way to route email that should go to the scalix box to the scalix box. So I am using ldapmapper in a transport map to do that. It works out very well except for sendmail's lookup breaking.

Instead of ldapmapper, would it be possible to use the Scalix LDAP daemon instead? That listens on the wildcard interface already.

I'm sure that would be possible. But I've actually never had to play with ldap before.

And it looks like ldapmapper does exactly what I need. It looks through all the fields that have email addresses and can return the fqdn of the server that it's on.

It's actually working quite nicely, but as ls-al said, the change I had to make it work will probably revert on the next upgrade.

Is there a way to add that to the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file? What order do the various .mc files get pulled in on omsendin?
