[cobalt-users] Qube3 webmail, sending e-mail looking desperately for help

[Jakob Strebel <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I repost the question from some days ago, some details where added to be 
more precise. I would very much appreciate if somebody could give  me some 
direction how to debug my problem.


WEBmail on my Qube3 does not allow to send email. (It allows to read email 
with it.)


I have set up the mail system on my Qube3 with a number of clients. It 
works fine using clients like Eudora either using POP or IMAP and sending 
and receiving mail.


The problem I am having is, I can not use the WEBmail on my Qube3 to send 
mail out. I am using the Browser MS IE 5.5 to talk to my Qube3.
Logging in to the Qube3 and using sendmail -bv in test mode show that the 
non local mail are sent to the MTA I have set up in the Network.


Below is the section of the maillog whihc is generated when I try to send 
mail with the factory installed WEBmail:
(I have done all the updates on my Qube trough Bluelink)

Could anybody reading the log  pointing me in the right direction and 
instruct me how I should hunt the problem. I see some problems in the log, 
but I have no idea how to proceed.

I see the first problem with the file /etc/sasldb here are the attributes, 
they do not look abnormal to me.
-rw-r-----   1 root     root        20480 May 28 21:31 sasldb



Thanks in advance for the help.


Best regards
