Scalix Forums

Hi!

I have a small setup with scalix 11.4.3, everything seems to work, the only thing that i can't get to work is that my users cannot send email through swa.

Here is the output from scalix-swa.log:
2009-03-16 23:00:21,300 ERROR [SoapMail.send:1848] Failed to connect to the SMTP server.
com.sun.mail.iap.ConnectionException: Due to a failure to establish a connection, the message could not be sent.

I have search this forum, but the only thread close to mine seems to be this one: viewtopic.php?p=55887 - and that didnt help... could anyone please point me in the direction where to start debugging this error.

Execute following set of commands and check if you are able to access your mailserver at all

telnet <ipaddress> 143

. <space> login <space> <username> <space> <password>

Sending is done via SMTP, so check that something answers on port 25 for "localhost" and your server's name / IP.

Hi !

Thanks for your feedback!

I know that I wasn't detailed enough in my first post - my apologies!

I have modified my Scalix installation to implement spamassassin, here is my /var/opt/scalix/ml/s/sys/smtpd.cfg :
EXTENSIONS=AUTH,DSN,8BITMIME
SMTP=OFF
SUBMIT=ON
SMTPFILTER=TRUE
AUTH_SUCCESS accept ALL
ANONYMOUS discard
RELAY accept 172.16.0.3
RELAY accept 127.0.0.1
RELAY accept mail.mydomain.dk
RELAY accept .mydomain.dk
RELAY Log_Reject ALL

# extra rules added to prevent open relay usage
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *@*@*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *%*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *!*
RECIPIENT Log_Reject *#*@*
[SUBMIT]
LISTEN=localhost:587,mail.mydomain.dk:587
# Reject all anonymous connections
ANONYMOUS Log_Reject ALL

[LMTP]
LISTEN=localhost:24


here is some of my /var/opt/scalix/ml/webmail/swa.properties:
swa.email.domain=mydomain.dk
swa.email.imapServer=mail.mydomain.dk
swa.email.smtpServer=localhost:25
swa.email.userNameIncludesDomain=false


Here is what happens if i do a telnet to smtp:
[root@mail ~]# telnet localhost 25

So I cant figure out why I get the following error in swa when try to send emails:

Can anyone please point me in the right direction - please )

you have executed telnet localhost 25, do u get same response when u execute telnet <ipaddres> 25. I mean to say ip on which scalix is installed.

yes :

Hi!


[root@mail ~]# omsendin
NOTE: /etc/mail/sendmail.cf unchanged. Scalix lines already active.

Is there any firewall?

sendmail shouldn't be listening on port 25, so I'd restart it (and smtpd).

babytux: No, there is no firewall

schmoe90: If sendmail shouldn't listening on port 25, what/who should then?

sendmail should listen on localhost:25
scalix smtp relay should listen on <interface ip>:25

but i'm wondering, why the smtp relay is started, when it isn't listening... It shouldn't run and there should be a log entry either in omshowlog or in fatal log, that the smtp relay could bind to port 25

Hi all!


First i'll like to thank you all for taking the time to help me!!!

I don't know why or how, but i solved my issue by:
#omoff smtpd
#service sendmail restart
#omon smtpd

and suddenly I was able to send email through swa again!?!

Once again, i really appreciate all you help!

Regards

Christoffer
