Hi, I installed the PKG sendmail upgrade from PkgMaster, specifically: http://pkgmaster.com/i386/RaQ3-Sendmail-8.9.3-PM1.pkg I installed it on two RaQ3's, both with Mailscanner installed prior to that. The first install went ok, and I did not register any problems. The second install seems to have slowed down traffic, and I can no longer send mail by POP (I can send via the command-line with the mail command, or use the webmail client I have installed, NeoMail). Has anyone experienced similar problems, or have suggestions for where to start troubleshooting? I find no error messages in maillog relevant to this issue. Also, I did not experience the other problems associated with this PKG and RaQ3's as reported by others a few days ago.
Hi,I did not have such a problem. However, I assisted someone who did. Follow these steps: 1) Edit /home/opt/MailScanner/mailscanner.config. Change the 'Debug=0' to 'Debug=1.' 2) Stop the mailscanner (and sendmail too, BTW) with /etc/rc.d/init.d/mailscanner stop. 3) Then REALLY stop MailScanner! When you shutdown mailscanner and got an error, it means you still have mailscanner running. If you didn't get an error shuting down, disregard this next little bit; go to item 4. Do 'ps aux |grep mailscanner.' Then do 'kill xxxxx' and substitute the process for mailscanner.
4) Now start MailScanner and sendmail with /etc/rc.d/init.d/mailscanner.5) This will not return you to a command prompt, but will give you the errors you'll need to troubleshoot your problem either on the terminal or in /var/log/maillog.
6) Post your problems once you can truly report what the problems were. Sorry I couldn't help you beyond that.I can tell you that the problem on someone else's server turned out to be duplicate entries in /etc/mail/virtusertable due to sendmail all of a sudden treating aliases as case insensitive.
