[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
Hi I'm looging for some help over sendmail writing to syslog. I am using oi a9 on a couple of our servers, and they are running sendmail, using almost the same main.mc compiled from the original servers. They are all logging to syslog, but on the original servers I get the "from=" headers and the "to=" headers logged in syslog, and on the new server I only get "to=" logged to syslog, and then only when the email is being forwarded to the smart-host, not on receipt. We grep the syslog to see if an email has been received, before it goes through our mail scanner system, and the lack of a from makes this impossible. has anyone else come across this, or any solution/suggestion on how to get it to work?

Can you determine what has changed between the original server and the new one? Is /etc/syslog.conf the same, particularly the line that redirects to /var/log/syslog? The selector should be `mail.debug', which handles all log messages with the `mail' facility. You might need to disable svc:/system/system-log:default temporarily and start syslogd in debug mode instead. This will show you all of the log messages sent to syslogd. If it's not syslog that's changed, you should look at how logging is specified in the sendmail configuration. -- -Gary Mills--refurb--Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
The original was a Solaris 10 box, the new one is Illumos, they use essentially the same mc file, the "syslog.conf"s are duplicates. I see sendmail logging when I run /usr/lib/sendmail -oQ, but I don't see it when it's running as a daemon. syslog appears to be working fine, MailScanner is writing to it, as are SpamAssassin and Clam AV (on both localhost, and via the external address) I've turned off ipfilter in case that was the issue as well, and it doesn't appear to have changed anything. When I truss the sendmail daemon, there is nothing in the output that seems to mention "log" ...

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
Yeah logging is set to 9, I set it to 10 just in case but it made no difference. I have mail.info instead of mail.debug because on Solaris 10 the LDAP output takes up too much space. I was wondering if anyone else has the same issue, especially since this happened on two different OI servers set up by 2 different people, although according to the same internal wiki page. We just didn't notice until I was building the latest replacement that it hadn't been logging. I had almost noticed before but thought it was just a one off type of thing. Do other people use sendmail in zones in production, and do they have the same issues?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
okay, I worked with the global zone, using the standard sendmail.cf, modified the props in smtp:sendmail to set config/local_only to false, telnet'd in from a box on our internal network and there is no address logging. sendmail does log to syslog with "gethostbyaddr" errors (until I fixed hosts), and /var/adm/messages has logs of unknown users, or messages about "relaying denied", or to tell me I hadn't created aliases/access.db ... but there is no successful "from= ... to=" messages anywhere. can anyone else try this, and see if it's just something I'm doing?!?

cr*p ... I edited syslog to log _everything_ sendmail is logging to "daemon.info", not "mail.info" ... at least I can get it fixed. I'm not sure if anyone else even uses sendmail nowadays, but that adding " daemon.info" to the mail.info/debug line should get it working for you.

Lots of people use sendmail. I'm running it under Solaris 11.2, but using my own build of 8.14.4 because I needed SASLv2. It sounds as if you are running a bad build of sendmail.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
I realised that it was calling syslog when I trussed the syslogd on the parent computer and saw movement when the test email was sent. after that I added "*.alert;*.crit;*.err;*.warning;*.notice;*.info;*.debug /var/log/testing" to syslog (log everything except "emerg" which is shoited out to every display everywhere) and then watched the file when I sent the test message again ... anyway, I've got a working system, and I can grep syslog for email addresses, so that's a win! Thanks everyone.

In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging, Jonathan Adams...: I'm not sure if anyone else even uses sendmail nowadays, but that adding " daemon.info" to the mail.info/debug line should get it working for you.

I suppose another test would be to use logger to send to the mail facility, like this: $ logger -p mail.info -t test 'This is a test message' -- -Gary Mills--refurb--Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
I use sendmail every day on a multitude of hosts. I would also 2nd the comment made by an earlier poster concerning an in-house compile. For basic, low level apps, it fine to use OS provided packages. But for more complex and customizable apps (i.e. Apache httpd, Sendmail, Proftpd, BIND DNS server, etc), no OS provided package is going to come compiled with the specific customizations and compile time options that I want/need for my environment.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
I used to always have hand compiled everything, but my efforts with managing a large number of servers and workstations made me try to use maintained packages where possible. Systems are easier to rebuild/replace if you are relying on standard packages and repositories. In my opinion the maintained packages should be the best they can be and if I have to compile things myself it is a failure, so much so that I try to communicate with the package maintainers when a package needs extra work/options.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
I'm not necessarily recompiling for every box. Should have made that more clear in my earlier note. I get a good compile, make a package, then stick it on the Jumpstart or AI server and I am good to go. Regardless of the quality of OS provided packages, if compile time options you require are not there, its pretty much a necessity to build your own.

Does sendmail only misbehave in a non-global zone? If not, maybe something else is responsible for the peculiar logging. I'd recommend filing a bug report at illumos.org for this behavior that you've noticed. That way, somebody else can investigate further. -- -Gary Mills--refurb--Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging
no it's global as well as non-global, but I've only tested in 151a8, I don't have a hipster available to check at the moment, and it might well have been fixed in that.
