Package: sendmail-base
Version: 8.13.7-2
Severity: important
For the last four or five days I've been tracking down a problem. I
could receive e-mail, but only some of the e-mail would go out. I
also saw the following,
telnet ::1 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to ::1.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ;; ESMTP connection timed out; no servers could be reached Sendmail
8.13.7/8.13.7/Debian-2; Mon, 26 Jun 2006 21:55:05 -0500; (No UCE/UBE) logging
access from: ip6-localhost(OK)-ip6-localhost [IPv6:::1]
I finally tracked it down to /etc/mail/m4/dialup.m4
(ip replaced with <!-- ip --> only one change)
LOCAL_CONFIG
#------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Dynamic host/ip updates from /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail
#
# NOTE: the following line *MUST* be in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
dnl include(`/etc/mail/dialup.m4')dnl
# This should *NOT* be included in submit.mc !
#
# Make sure we accept mail as this ip (for bounces, etc)
Cw<!-- ip -->
#
# Define our true hostname (from our ISP) - becomes $j
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `;; connection timed out; no servers could be
reached')dnl
#
# Make sure we accept mail as this name (for bounces, etc)
Cw;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
#
# Add our hostname to class G for genericstable support
CG;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
#------------------------------------------------------------
I was watching for failed DNS queries, using strace and ltrace to see
what sendmail was doing starting up, and finally figured out the
above. This is a server and doesn't have dynamically changing ip
addresses, so I've disabled dialup.m4 in the sendmail configuration
file. Maybe in the future the script could avoid setting
confDOMAIN_NAME if the DNS query failed.

There are still issues on what state to leave things in, but
at least the file will be turned into garbage closes: #375787
+ sendmail.conf::DAEMON_NETMODE now defaults to Static
+ /etc/{ppp,dhcp3,network,resolvconf}/*/sendmail pass an additional option
+ /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic is much more careful
.
* ARM is broken, disable -fstack-protector-all closes: #446415
* add FEATURE(use_cw_file) to default sendmail.mc closes: #433216
* remove /usr/share/bug/sendmail-doc -> sendmail closes: #387799
