mail not processed by Scalix ? mail goes to /var/spool/mail/

[steves]

Installed MailScanner on the Scalix system with no issues.

Changed smtpd.cfg, added SMTPFILTER=TRUE

Emails get processed by MailScanner/sendmail BUT they get stored
in /var/spool/mail/

Using FC4.

Thanks

When you configured MailScanner with sendmail, did you run the command

Code: Select all

omsendin

This re-instates the Scalix rules that are required to re-reroute the message back into Scalix.

hhmm, I did not know about that command. Is it mentioned anywhere?

This is what I've done, does anything look weird?

You need to re-run omsendin whenever you rebuild the sendmail.cf from the sendmail.mc.

Check the sendmail.cf to see what your DaemonPortOptions is. It should look like this:

Code: Select all

O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

If you needed to change it, restart sendmail, then run

Code: Select all

lsof -i:25

It should give you

Code: Select all

COMMAND    PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sendmail  4415 root    4u  IPv4  10003       TCP localhost.localdomain:smtp (LISTEN)
omsmtpd  10695 root    4u  IPv4 135953       TCP <machine name>:smtp (LISTEN)

If all of this is right, then sendmail should be able to bind to the SMTP port correctly, and not return the error you reported. Restart MailScanner and see if it works.

Yep tried that.

sendmail 32393 root 4u IPv4 470850 TCP localhost.localdomain:smtp (LISTEN)


I have an additional alias network address at the moment which I don't think matters...?

this is what happens when I send an email.

[root@m1 ~]# echo testmgs | mail -s testmsg steves@metrofire.com.au

This is interesting, when I send an email to "steves" (localuser) it goes to
/var/spool/mail/steves But when I send the message to steves@metrofire.com.au it
goes to the Scalix mailing queue (I think, that is what it looks like)

MailScanner does not scan the message ...

Thanks

[ScalixSupport]

This seems to be because sendmail isn't able to understand it's own domain.

Can you run the command

Code: Select all

sendmail -d0.1 < /dev/null

and post the result.

You should see something similar to:

Can you run the following:

Code: Select all

sendmail -bt

and enter the command

Code: Select all

Once that's done, hit CTRL-D to exit and post the output.
