cli "mail" program no longer working after update.

[Bernard Mentink]

Hi,

I have a webpage running in a jail in which there is a .php form that allows people to send contact details via email. That has stopped working since a FreeNAS update in Jan. I tried manually sending mail from a shell in both the webpage jail and in FreeNAS, and neither message is received by the recipient.

My mail send server is gmail and that works ok as I still get my server emails from security and SMART outputs. .. and the mail test works ...

Can someone help me work out what could have changed?

EDIT: Actually mail sent from FreeNAS shell works, it is just the webpage jail that mail has stopped working ....
(IE.: echo "some message" | mail -s "some subject" somemail@address )

 

[Bernard Mentink]

Can anyone help, this is very frustrating .. :(

 

[dlavigne]

Anything in /var/log/messages when the send fails?

 

[Bernard Mentink]

Hi,
I don't get any error in /var/log/messages just after executing the "mail" command. The only errors I see in there regarding mail is the likes of:

Code:

Mar 14 03:01:34 webpage_2 sm-mta[47859]: w2DE1Y1J047856: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias0": missing map file /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory

Don't know if it is related ..
(...there is a /etc/mail/aliases file, just not an aliases.db ....)

By the way, I presume you mean /var/log/messages in the Jail.

 

[dlavigne]

Were you able to resolve this?

 

[Bernard Mentink]

No, still havn't resolved this. I am surprised this has not happened to anyone else ..
Maybe some FreeNAS Guru can tell us how the mail passes through the Jail so we can work out what has failed ..

(NOTE: Network connectivity from the jail is just fine)

 

[Bernard Mentink]

Still not working. Surely there is a developer that can comment on this, or do I file a bug report.

Verbose output from mail in jail is as follows:

Code:

there is a /etc/mail/aliases file, just not an aliases.db

This particular problem can be fixed: from the shell, run newaliases.

Without an error, it is difficult to say what is causing the other problem.

 

[Bernard Mentink]

Thanks, I now have an aliases.db file and those messages have stopped. However, Mail still does not work from the Jail.
I wish I knew how to get more information on the issue ... this silent failing is frustrating ..

I just had a good look in /var/log/maillog and it does show a verify=fail error, but that is all ... (last line below)

Code:

Update:



I have even tried creating an iocage jail, and mail does not work from there either ...
My /etc/rc.conf is:

Code:

host_hostname="test"
cron_flags="$cron_flags -J 15"

# Disable Sendmail by default
sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_submit_enable="YES"
sendmail_outbound_enable="YES"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES"

# Run secure syslog
syslogd_flags="-c -ss"

# Enable IPv6
# ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"

nginx_enable="YES"
php_fpm_enable="YES"

Looking into this further:

My iocage jail is called "test" and once inside a console I ran the mail command and found this bounced email report ..

Code:

  ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

	(reason: 550 5.1.1 <test@localhost.my.domain>... User unknown)
	(expanded from: test)

The key being "<test@localhost.my.domain>... User unknown"
What should my domain be for the jail? Should it be the same as for FreeNAS? Do I have to create another user instead of root .... I did not have to do that with the old jails ..
