Daily report cannot be emailed to a jailed mail server
Hi, FreeBSD 7.2-R box with 10 jails. The mail server (actually its a mail filter) is hosted on the same server inside a jail. I can't seem to get the main server reports to be sent to the mail filter inside the jail inside the same box. so.. r...@localhost tries to send an email to some...@anotherdomain.com.au The MX entry for anotherdomain.com.au points to the mailfilter on the server (jailed). I've changed my /etc/mail/aliases to have root: some...@anotherdomain.com.au and ran newaliases. When i try to send an email i get in /var/log/messages sm-mta[94682]: n97LeeOw094682: Losing ./qfn97LeeOw094682: savemail panic Oct 8 08:40:40 server sm-mta[94682]: n97LeeOw094682: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere Oct 8 08:42:30 server sm-mta[94713]: n97LgTYg094713: Losing ./qfn97LgTYg094713: savemail panic Oct 8 08:42:30 server sm-mta[94713]: n97LgTYg094713: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere Oct 8 08:47:07 server sm-mta[95130]: n97Ll7VV095129: SYSERR(root): MX list for anotherdomain.com.au. points back to server.net In /var/log/maillog n97Ll7VV095129: to=some...@anotherdomain.com.au, ctladdr=r...@server.net (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30715, relay=anotherdomain.com.au., dsn=5.3.5, stat=Local configuration error Oct 8 08:47:07 server sm-mta[95130]: n97Ll7VV095129: n97Ll7VV095130: DSN: Local configuration error Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

If you hadn't of sanitized the domain names, it would have been easier to troubleshoot... Nonetheless, you can force Sendmail to push email to a different server directly (overriding the DNS MX entries) with a 'mailertable' file in /etc/mail. Here's one on a secondary MX: %cat /etc/mail/mailertable ibctech.ca smtp:[smtp.ibctech.ca] ipv6canada.com smtp:[smtp.ipv6canada.com] ... After the file is created, a simple 'make' in /etc/mail will build the mailertable.db file for you and take effect immediately (much like 'newaliases'). However, it's hard to tell if this recommendation will solve your problem though. Without knowing the real domain, we can't perform DNS tests against it to get a better understanding of the situation.

I've changed my /etc/mail/aliases to have root: some...@anotherdomain.com.au and ran newaliases. It's been already pointed out that you aren't providing much information to go on, so here's my WAG of what is happening. Changing the root alias root could work, but consider the case of mail from the jailhost being rejected by the jailed mailserver. The bounce message will be addressed to POSTMASTER on the jailhost, which points to root on the jailhost, which points back to the jailed mailserver trying to send the bounce, which points to ... You can examine the scenario for yourself either by listening to a married couple on the verge of divorce argue with one another, or more specifically, by running [r...@jailhost] sendmail -bv root [r...@jail] sendmail -bv postmas...@jailhost.server.net When i try to send an email i get in /var/log/messages sm-mta[94682]: n97LeeOw094682: Losing ./qfn97LeeOw094682: savemail panic Oct 8 08:40:40 server sm-mta[94682]: n97LeeOw094682: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere Oct 8 08:42:30 server sm-mta[94713]: n97LgTYg094713: Losing ./qfn97LgTYg094713: savemail panic Oct 8 08:42:30 server sm-mta[94713]: n97LgTYg094713: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere Oct 8 08:47:07 server sm-mta[95130]: n97Ll7VV095129: SYSERR(root): MX list for anotherdomain.com.au. points back to server.net The jailed mailserver is rejecting the mail and is then trying to send a bounce and can't because it's caught in a loop that ends when Sendmail says Look this isn't an argument ... it's just contradiction! and bails out. Why the jailed mailserver is rejecting the mail is a separate issue. In /var/log/maillog n97Ll7VV095129: to=some...@anotherdomain.com.au, ctladdr=r...@server.net (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30715, relay=anotherdomain.com.au., dsn=5.3.5, stat=Local configuration error Oct 8 08:47:07 server sm-mta[95130]: n97Ll7VV095129: n97Ll7VV095130: DSN: Local configuration error That's from the maillog on the jailhost. More relevant to why the jailed mailserver has rejected the mail would be the jail's maillog entries (or whatever logging was done by the filter installed there). Either way, for the interim I'd suggest undoing your changes, rebuilding your aliases and consider implementing an alternate approach. For anyone to figure out conclusively what's happening, you'll have to provide more information. -- George ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Thank you so much, it worked =) My MX records are correct, i could get mail from the outside, but just couldn't get the daily reports to deliver it. I'm glad it worked. Believe me, if that simple change made it work for you, then it was worth my headache to have spent the time to learn it for myself ;) For the last few years, I've only used Sendmail (or sendmail) to act as a backup MX, or to directly deliver mail from the box I am on...hence, it's been a while... There may be other ramifications to using `mailertable' in your particular environment. I don't know how your system will react, given a default setup and a mailertable entry. It's possible (but untested) that if the server that is specified in the mailertable is down, your reports might not make it to you ( whether that's bad or good is up for interpretation... I've always known no news as good news ;) Perhaps Giorgos or someone else may be able to provide a better understanding.
