 Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 10:04 pm Post subject: [Solved] virtusertable sendmail fowarding issues |
 |
|
I have three boxes which receive e-mail.
1. Mail server -- achilles
2. Workstation A -- turing
3. Workstation B -- magritte
I have set up virtusertable on achilles to forward mail to the proper machines via smtp.
Both turing and magritte are running identical sendmail.cf.
magritte is my new workstation. Formerly my stuff was on achilles. It's still there, but I am attempting to change all my e-mail, etc to magritte
I have a DNS server with appropriate MX record pointing to my static IP, which happens to be directed to my router, bach. bach forwards port 25 to achilles so that he may handle e-mail.
Here's the problem.
Mail goes to and from turing without any issues.
However, when I forwarded my e-mail address to magritte via virtusertable all my mail began having problems. The error I receive from achilles:
| Code: | | localhost sm-mta[21911]: k1RLjkoo021906: to=<myuser@domain.org>, delay=00:00:05, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=122968, relay=magritte.domain.org. [192.168.1.9], dsn=5.3.5, stat=Local configuration error |
The error I receive from magritte is:
| Code: | magritte sm-mta[3064]: k1RLkCYf003064: achilles.longship.net [19
2.168.1.2] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA |
The e-mail gets bounced and finds its way over to my old account on achillles by way of myname@achilles being aliased to root@achilles.
There are logins for my wife on both achilles and turing with the same user name. Just as there are accounts on achilles and magritte for me.
Yet apparently turing is handling things properly and magritte is not.
Both have the same sendmail.mc:
| Code: | divert(-1)
divert(0)dnl
include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl

define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT',`b, j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name}, {if_addr}')dnl |
My /etc/procmailrc on turing and magritte:
| Code: | | DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME |
I've never had problems with this stuff before. It should just work.
my virtusertable entries look like this:
| Code: |
wife@mydomain.org wife@turing
myname@mydomain.org myname@magritte
...
|
Here's what the bouncing messages are saying when they find their way to "myname@achilles" (via root@achilles):
| Code: |
553 5.3.5 magritte.mydomain.org. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
554 5.3.5 Local configuration error |
There are logins for "wife" and "myname" on both achilles and their respective workstations, turing and magritte respectively.
Something's screwy here. What works for my wife's e-mail doesn't work for mine.
Both turing and magritte are running Gentoo Linux 2.6.15-r1 with the same version of sendmail.
[Q]What is different between the two workstations that is causing this?

This problem was very weird.
Since I was using a known good sendmail configuration, the problem had to be something to do with routing of e-mail. I happened to type in:
| Code: | # hostname -v
gethostname()='i'
i |
Something's damned weird here. Hostname is magritte
Rebooted the computer (WinBlows anybody?).
When it came up, hostname correctly emitted magritte. I redirected my e-mails via /etc/mail/virtusertable on []b]achilles[/b] and sent an e-mail from turing. Bingo! it popped up immediately on magritte.
Now, the question remains.
[Q] What hosed my hostname? That sounds like kernel land to me.
...and who stole the kishka?
