Red Hat / Fedora :: Sendmail Not Processing Messages After Reboot?
Dec 25, 2008
I am running Fedora 10 and working with sendmail to send messages via various scripts. I've gotten everything working and under normal circumstances the messages get delivered as expected. However when I reboot my computer, all mail designated for sendmail gets hung up in the queue. I've confirmed that sendmail is set to start on boot (runlevel 5) and I've checked for the existence of sendmail processes (they indeed exist after boot).
However, if I restart the sendmail daemon manually, everything in the queue gets sent and I get flooded with a backlog of emails from the past several hours (or days). Is there a reason or common problem as to why sendmail doesn't actually process mail after startup and why manually restarting the process seems to solve the problem? Is this a bug in sendmail? /var/log/maillog doesn't reveal anything out of the ordinary.
Here's the pertinent info:
sendmail-8.14.3-1.fc10.i386
sendmail-cf-8.14.3-1.fc10.i386
kernel 2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686

Ok for some reason my sendmail queue is not processing the mail that's in mailq it looks like it trys to process and times out or something and skips to the next one, is there any way I can find out why it's not sending the queue list that's in mailq. the mail that's in the queue list is from my websites registration form.

New to Fedora (from Windows), I am up and running ok with packages from the repository but only half ok with Processing, the Java graphics programming front end from processing.org.Their download gave me a .tgz file which Package Manager extracted for me into a location of my choice and where there is now a "processing" shell script.This works ok and I have managed to create a launcher on the desktop. That starts ok but always with processing's default action of giving you a new and automatically named work file.In Windows an existing Processing file (.pde file) could be "opened-with" Processing. Trying to do similar in Fedora I find that I am expected to nominate an Application to open with but Processing has not installed as an application.I guess the question is how do I promote Processing to be an Application?Or is there a different approach?

I've got a strange sendmail problem I've never come across before...Messages less that 2500 lines (approx 169kb) are sent correctly - anything else goes straight into the queue and is never delivered. The server sits in a intranet, is not connected to the outside world, and forwards its mail to a smart host.All configuration has been done through yast, so there are no unusual settings. I've run sendmail on SuSE from version 6 upwards, and this is the first time I've come across this - it's driving me potty

Messages are stuck in my server's /var/spool/mqueue/ folder beyond the lifetime I have specified in confTO_QUEUERETURN (5d). Any idea why this could be? The file permissions appear fine; files in the mqueue folder show rights of: Code:-rw------- 1 root smmspThis is causing an issue because the queues are slowly getting larger and larger. I'm seeing the queue size consistently growing. maillog shows entries like: Code:grew WorkList for /var/spool/mqueue to 28000Just thinking outloud -- could the queue runner not be completing it's job in time? Maybe I could check with time sendmail -q

We have a sendmail server located in a DMZ that has normally been able to send SMTP traffic to whatever destination is listed in the address of any given e-mail message. A recent change in network configuration has introduced an e-mail gateway that all servers need to send smtp traffic to in order for the messages to go out to the Internet.

I've got a server set up with Debian. The problem is that my ISP doesn't allow usage of port 25 (as I understand a lot of ISP's don't).I have PHP scripts hat use the mail() function to send e-mails through the Sendmail application.So, my question is: How can I relay messages sent to sendmail to an external SMTP server (like Google Mail, for example)? Would this be easier to do in the PHP configuration, or on the Sendmail side of things?I've used PEAR extensions in PHP to achieve this before, but scripts downloaded from the Internet generally just use the basic mail() function, and it would be a real pain to modify them all.

everytime I try to shutdown/reboot, it gets to the screen where it has the green/bold status messages on the side, but then it simply stops. The cursor doesn't blink, nothing happens...you could wait 10 minutes, and it would still be at that same screen. I don't know if I've described this well enough for anyone to understand, but I hope so! I don't have a camera, but if I did...I'd post a picture of where I mean...
But like I said, after getting to a certain, without actually shutting down, it simply stops and does absolutely nothing. This is rather inconvenient, and I'd like to find a solution to this if possible. EDIT: I'm sorry I didn't provide any hardware info, but I'm using Gnome...This didn't happen 100% of the time KDE like it does now though. (But it DID happen in KDE as well) I'm using OpenSUSE 11.2... I'll be back in a moment with hardware info, assuming it may aid in a solution.

Doing "ls -a" provides a listing of the hidden files.To process all the .bak files you can do *.bak for:
that.bak
this.bak
But how do you process all the hidden files like:
.that.bak
.this.bak
What is the equivalent of *.bak for only the hidden files?

I finally gathered my courage to install Fedora 12 on my laptop. I burnt a DVD to make the install. But it gives an error saying:Error processing drive/dev/sda.
This sounds scary, because I don't want to format my WHOLE hard disk, I only want to format the several partitions on which I want to install F12.

I am using webmin for my daily tasks. I have fedora 13, whenever I click on ''Sendmail M4 Configuration'' or Outgoing Addresses (generics)'' I get the following error message
Quote:
The Sendmail M4 configuration base directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf was not found on your system, or is not the correct directory. Maybe it has not been installed (common for packaged installs of Sendmail), or the module config is incorrect. I read documentation at sendmail.org, it seems that structure of directories for send mail has been changed in version sendmail-8.1.4 shipped with FC13. In webmin config module we have
Quote:
Sendmail M4 base directory = /usr/share/sendmail-cf
which is not there. I did a locate / sendmail-cf on the command line, it finds nothing

I have a syslog-ng running and kernel build of 2.6.34.8 I use a syslog API in my program with facility LOG_LOCAL5 and and levels debug err and crit and info. when I ran on the older syslog facility I had everything logged fine as I intended. now I have written these rules into the syslog-ng.conf:
options {
flush_lines (0);
time_reopen (10);
log_fifo_size (1000);
[code]....

I recently modified sendmail.cf to use a third party SMTP server to send emails. It works great. But when I run sendmail from the command line, I have to specify the -C flag and force feed it the location of my sendmail.cf, or else it doesn't work.
So in other words, the following works great:
However, if I don't specify the -C flag, sendmail doesn't consider what's in the sendmail.cf and barfs:
I don't run sendmail as a daemon. I'm only using it to send emails. I know my modifications of sendmail.cf are correct because it works perfectly when I use the -C flag. I searched my disk to see if I could find another sendmail.cf on the machine and only the one in /etc/mail came up.
Why sendmail is not reading my sendmail.cf?
I'm running Sendmail version 8.14.2 on Fedora Core 8.

I am attempting to use sendmail out of the box in fedora 12 (maybe my first mistake? Is there anything which needs setting up?). My impression of how to use this (based on tutorials on the internet and reading the man page) is that you do something like the following:
[Code]...
I don't really know if this is right, but I can't find any sites that say otherwise. This is based mostly on looking at a couple bash scripts I read, which seemed to do this. Obviously, however, this doesn't work. Is there anyone out there who knows what I'm doing wrong.

I am trying to setup sendmail on a fc10 box with dovecot running imap. I have everything configured and running on the server. For example, when I run "echo 'test' | mail -s test user@mydomain.com" or even to someuser@gmail.com, the mail goes through just fine. I can then reply from both of those accounts back to the server, no problem.
Relaying denied Cannot send mail. The SMTP server does not recognize any of the authentication methods supported by Entourage. Try changing the SMTP authentication options in Account settings or contact your network administrator.

browser just crashed trying to upload the config file at the end, so I fi miss something, sorry.I have been trying over the past few days to get either postfix or sendmail to properly forward my emails. I have made an entry in virtusers (for both postfix and sendmail) as:[URL]..I know that they these files are mapped correctly because I did an entry of:[URL].. that worked, it sent it to root's mailbox. I got this to work in both sendmail of postfix. What the problem is that when I point it to an external domain (ex. name@gmail.com), it fails, and the email gets lost somewhere on my server (I have yet to fine where they are going). The other thing I noticed is when I send an email from my server (via php) and send it to test (or whatever)@example.com the catchall works, and sends the email to my gmail address. Is this virtuser only applicable for outgoing email? Or is something else wrong?

I'm currently running a server at home with F13. Now I've set up my sendmail config to relay through another server because my ISP blocks outgoing email. Now recently I've noticed that they have stopped this server from relaying emails so i need to sort out another way to send out.My current sendmail config has this added which was the relay server i was using.
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)DSrelay.02broadband.co.uk
Now i either want to set up the server to email through my main ISP using a username / password or go through my main email provider Gmail.Any ideas on how to set up either on Fedora? I've seen guides for setting up gmail but never anything related to Fedora and I'm a bit stuck

I was using Opensuse on Virtualbox earlier today. I issued the tail -f /var/log/messages command on Opensuse 11.3 to see the messages. Then I logged in from my Mac into Opensuse 11.3. I noticed that Opensuse was displaying realtime messages of the things happening. For eg, I entered a wrong su password and it displayed that too. But no such things were happening on my Fedora 13 installation. So is there any way if I could get some realtime messages on Fedora 13 too like the one on Opensuse..?
