Scalix Forums

Hi,

a rather stupid question:

What is the deeper meaning of the following error in the /var/log/mail.err log?

sendmail[22511]: k4KJOIWI022510: SYSERR(root): /opt/scalix/bin/ommapsmtp: cannot exec: Operation not permitted

Sendmail was configured to work fine, but after the Scalix installation it refuses to send mail with the above error. Now, to my understanding it is because it wants to check with Scalix if the address is local or not... but why does it fail?

The system I´m running is Suse 10.1 (I know... not really supported, but Suse 10.0 had problems with my raid controller... ;-) ) Thanks...

Thanks,

Clemens

Can you give some details on how you got it to install ?

Cheers

Dave

Hi,

I changed the SuSE-release file as was described in another thread to change from the non-OSS to OSS and then I just used the command line option of the installer and just followed the steps.

It all seems to work fine except that bit that has to do with sendmail... at least so far I didn't encounter any other problems... knock on wood...

Regards,
Clemens

Can you post the output of

Cheers

Dave

The output is
-r-xr-sr-x 1 scalix scalix 15234 2006-03-27 19:23 /opt/scalix/bin/ommapsmtp

When I try to send mail from SWA I get the error "unable to send mail to:" followed by the address... however before I installed scalix I made sure I could send mail from the command line... (now throws up that ommapsmtp error)

EDIT: Interesting, just found the error "/var/run/sendmail/control: Operation not permitted" and noticed that the control file is not even there... don't know if that has to do with it or not...?

Thanks,
Clemens

If that problem cant be solved now, is there a way of working around it by skipping ommapsmtp?

Or does anyone have an amazing idea to find a solution??? ;-)

Thanks,

Clemens

What OS is this installed on ? Also, what user is sendmail running as ?

Cheers

Dave

Hi,

the system is Suse 10.1 64bit.

Regarding the user who is running sendmail, it seems to be party root, partly mail:

ps -ef | grep sendmail
root 3152 1 0 May21 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: accepting connections
mail 3200 1 0 May21 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue control
mail 3201 3200 0 May21 ? 00:00:01 sendmail: ./k4NB02X8019702 from queue
root 21569 3152 0 20:44 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: k4NIiVA8021569 localhost [127.0.0.1]: DATA
root 21602 21482 0 20:45 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sendmail


Thanks,

Clemens

Can you run the command . I'm not interested in the data it returns, I just need to know if the command can be run from the command line.

Cheers

Dave

It returns user@example.com
no error messages, just the address.

Can you post the output of O is capital oh.

Cheers

Dave

Here you go... thanks!

EDIT: regarding O ControlSocketName=/var/run/sendmail/control
The file does not exist in this directory... :-( but it still managed to send mail previous to the installation... thanks

OK...next step.

Run the command: and enter then post the output. You can hit Ctrl-D to exit.

Can you run the command:

and then enter

You should see


Please post the results.

I'm tending to believe that this is a permissions problem as every time you've run this as root, it's worked fine.

Cheers
