<0> i get undefined reference to `SSL_get_wfd'
<0> when trying to compile sendmail, is there any way to fix it? thanks
<1> re
<2> edrivel: your OpenSSL is too old
<2> see http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.sendmail/browse_frm/thread/bf2c1c7f116b38b1/4a6b925acb307c2e?hl=en#4a6b925acb307c2e
<3> is there any known issuses with aol not accepting mails through sendmail
<3> i have a site where i use it for account verification but doesnt seem to send to aol users , it is a problem for me
<4> aol doesn't care what software you use.
<2> you will have to check AOL's anti-spam mechanisms
<3> so is there any way aroudn this
<3> how do i do that?
<3> well or how would i go about t hat.
<4> http://www.postmaster.aol.com/
<2> you should get a DSN when your message is rejected, that contains an URL
<3> where in my maillog ?
<4> yes.
<3> not sure im jus the lazy admin that has to correct these errors lol , its for a friend
<2> checked the postmaster account on the server?
<3> dont think he runs postmaster
<2> he _must_ have a postmaster
<2> though it can be an alias, which is usual
<3> im not too familiar with mail servers postmaster do exactly what>?
<2> postmaster is the administrative account for a mail domain
<2> if sending to AOL observe the mail log and see where the message about the rejecting by AOL goes to
<2> then read that mail account
<3> will do
<3> mind if i msg you z erberus?
<2> is see no need for that
<3> k
<2> keep discussion in this channel
<2> twkm is helpful too
<3> is that like pastebin?
<2> see /topic
<3> http://pastebin.com/621798
<3> seems like there going throught cept for one or two that says service unavable
<3> altho i was told there not
<2> i feel all are not accepted
<2> mailq -v
<3> but would the logs say that
<2> $ host plain.ev1servers.net
<2> Host plain.ev1servers.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
<2> obvious why AOL refuses to accept them
<2> the logs say so
<3> http://pastebin.com/621807
<2> in your mail log you see local log messages for queueing and the rejects by AOL
<3> well what i pasted , i just greped aol
<3> the logs are like 99999 lines long
<2> fix your sender address
<3> thats through sendmails config?
<2> yes
<3> sorry for all of these questions lol i know how it sounds
<5> if i'm using redhat enterprise... and i want to cleanly forward mail to another directory for a user (instead of relying on /var/spool/mail) how would i go about it? I tried using procmail but it didnt's eem to like my |/usr/bin/procmail in the .forward file. i'm not famliar with sendmail's new security mechanisms.. it insists it could not stat the /usr/bin/procmail (smrsh or whatever)
<4> or whatever shows a lack of reading.
<4> the documentation for smrsh describes what is necessary for a pipe to work.
<4> namely, you must provide a symlink to the program in the smrsh control directory, which is /etc/smrsh in this case.
<4> e.g., ln -s /usr/bin/procmail /etc/smrsh/
<5> ah ok sorry
<4> sendmail isn't terribly hard, but you have to give yourself a chance by doing some reading. red hat provides their own documentation in addition to what comes with sendmail -- all very worth the time for a mail administrator that wants to keep hir hair.
<5> yeah it's just a quick hack though to get something going. sorry for not reading more carefully
<4> no need to apologize to me, it is you that is suffering. and will apparently repeatedly suffer since you "just" want this to work, which sounds like you will continue to ignore the documentation.
<5> thanks for your help!
<4> cool.
<6> [Mail not sent. Sending error: 421 4.3.0 collect: Cannot write ./dfk2PI]
<6> What on earth I did...
<6> Checked permissions, they seem to be ok.
<4> and yet sendmail cannot write the file.
<6> drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 8,0K 2006-03-24 19:43 clientmqueue/
<6> drwx-wx-wt 2 root mail 4,0K 2006-03-25 19:50 mail/
<4> and mqueue?
<4> is sendmail sgid smmsp?
<6> drwxrwx--- 2 root mail 4,0K 2006-03-25 19:44 mqueue/
<6> -r-xr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 632K 2006-03-22 21:36 /usr/sbin/sendmail*
<4> mail shouldn't be able to write mqueue.
<4> other than that it looks good, so far.
<4> do you force the uid to be non-root in the config?
<6> drwxrwx--- 2 root smmsp 4,0K 2006-03-25 19:44 mqueue/
<6> No, because procmail wont work if sendmail has runasuser set.
<4> still wrong.
<6> :/
<4> chmod 700 /path/to/mqueue
<6> It always been like that...
<4> *shrug*
<6> Now I get:
<6> [Error sending: SMTP greeting failure: 421 SMTP connection went away!]
<6> Mar 25 20:06:39 platinum sendmail[26814]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(platyna): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied
<6> ...
<6> Look like backup restore.
<4> feel free to chgrp mail and chmod 770.
<6> It was like that.
<4> you need to make the mqueue readable and writeable by the user as which sendmail runs.
<4> normally that is root.
<6> And it is readable by root.
<6> And writable by root.
<4> but, do you run sendmail as root?
<4> i.e., grep -i runas /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
<4> if you find that uncommented or if the mta daemon is started other than by root then root is not the user that will be trying to use the mqueue directory.
<6> I checked runas.
<6> It is hashed.
<4> now, there are potentially other issues, of which the admin should be aware, e.g., additional security controls (such as grsec or rsbac or selinux) that might prevent even root from using the directory.
<6> It worked fine just yesterday,.
<4> ahh, then that restore sounds like a fine idea. perhaps just /etc/mail/, but how much is up to you.
<6> I will restore etc mail and /usr/src.
<6> Anyway twkm...
<6> D you have ANY idea how to force sendmail and procmail to work toghether without suiding either of them?
<4> sendmail doesn't need to be suid, since it is started by root and stays that way.
<6> But with runas.
<4> *shrug*
<6> I would like to have sendmail run as different user.
<4> then get used to failure with writing spools and files.
<6> And till today I managed to work everything but not fricking procmail.
<4> if you run sendmail as other than root it cannot switch to the destination userid, which tends to limit the places it can write (much less enter or read).
<4> consider using a different form of mail store, one that accepts messages using lmtp or which uses a single userid for everything (i.e., does not use the recipient's userid).
<6> Sendmail is ok, just procmail not cooperates.
<4> procmail is not the issue.
<6> It is procmail that complains about insufficient permissions, even if it has rw to everything it needs.
<4> if you start sendmail as other than root then the userid (or groupid) under which sendmail is running must have access to the storage location.
<6> To var//spool dirs, and it has oiit.
<4> your log does not agree.
<6> This is a different box.
<4> the log entry you originally provided clearly shows that the mta daemon is not able to write into the mqueue.
<6> I am talking about my test box I tried to run it.
<6> It is DIFFERENT BOX.
<6> F
<4> sheesh.
<6> Forget about the logs I just posted.
<6> ;]
<4> thanks for mentioning that you switched boxes and issues.
<4> i'm so thrilled.
<6> Infact I have mentioned it...
<4> then i missed it, and that does neither of us any good, so i'll just step out.
<6> Bleh. Big boys don't take silly offences...
<6> Anyway I fixed one of my problem...that permissions one.
<6> It was submit.cf problem.
<6> ;}
<6> Oh well.. duh.
<7> heya
<7> i have a FC4 server, and sendmail is running and the port is open, but i cannot seem to make mail go external :/ is there something specific i have to do to enable this funcitonality? I can send mail to *@fedora.lan, but anywhere else just bounces after a long wait :/
<2> provide log content
<7> where are the sendmail logs please?
<2> .oO
<2> fedora.lan is your LAN or localhost only?
<7> yea
<7> it's the local host
<7> behind my router
<7> externally, it's viewed as dannyturner.dyndns.org
<2> read /var/log/maillog
<2> by default sendmail on fedora is bound to localhost only
<7> ok, how do i unbind it please :)
<2> read the docs
<2> /etc/mail/sendmail.mc is documented inside
Return to
#sendmail
or
Go to some related
