Openemm on Debian Vserver

Post by krull »

I am Running a Debian Sarge Vserver on a Debian Sarge Root server.

Normally I am using postfix, and the only option left for me was to install a vserver with sendmail running.

The Problem is ... as you might expect .... sendmail refuses to run with openemm.

The openemm frontend is running.
Sendmail is running, but refuses to work with openemm.

Here are some Log entries:

maillog:

I tried to add the user and host running to sendmail conf:
sendmail.mc

Code: Select all

define(`confTRUSTED_USERS', `1001')dnl
aliases:

Code: Select all

1001: root
openemm: root
I also added the IP of the Vserver to the relay-hosts file.

User openemm:

Code: Select all

alpha:/etc/mail# id openemm
uid=1001(openemm) gid=1001(openemm) groups=1001(openemm)

I also get this error:

Code: Select all

Sep  9 11:42:25 alpha sm-mta[25511]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1717: Xbav: local socket name /home/openemm/var/run/bav.sock unsafe: Group writable directory
I tried to fix permissions, but i didn't succeed.

Could anybody please help me? I would be very thankful :D
If it's better to post in german, it's ok for me :)

1.) Looks like smctrl is not running setuid root (see install guide.)

2.) Check the whole path for group writable directories up to /home/openemm/var/run.

ok, that fixed it so far.
Das hat es soweit repariert.

Here are the Startup logs and the syslog:

I read somwhere else, that the pidfile isn't used, so that should be fine.
Ich habe im Forum gelesen, dass das Pidfile nicht benutzt wird, sollte also kein Problem darstellen.

That looks fine. I started a mailing but openemm didn't start sending the mails. But it seems they are queued in the sendmail queue.
Das sieht gut aus. Ich habe ein Mailing gestartet aber die Emails wurden nicht versand. Aber sie scheinen in der sendmail queue zu hängen.

Up until now, nothing happend in the mail.log and syslog. Why doesn't sendmail send the mails out?
Bis jetzt sind keine neuen Einträge im mail.log und syslog vorhanden. Warum schickt sendmail die Mails nicht ab?

OpenEMM uses its own queues, these are ~openemm/var/spool/ADMIN for test and admin mailings and ~openemm/var/spool/QUEUE for world mailings. Perhaps you'll find a hint in the control files (qf*) in one of these directories.

Code: Select all

openemm@alpha:~/var/spool/QUEUE$
These Directorys are empty.

Do they need special permissions?

Code: Select all
