Unable to send email through swa

[duca]

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.

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>

[schmoe90]

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
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.

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 )

[babytux]

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.

[duca]

yes :

What does

omstat -a

show for the SMTP Relay?

[duca]

Hi all!

Try running

omsendin


[duca]

Hi!


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

[babytux]

Is there any firewall?

[schmoe90]

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

[duca]

babytux: No, there is no firewall

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

[sg]

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

[duca]

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
