Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I am trying to built a mailserver using Sendmail + cyrus + amavisd + TLS authentication.
All programs used are the latest versions shipped with OpenSUSE 11.4
I have set-up successfully sendmail+cyrus and I can send e-mail anywhere without a problem using authentication.
But when I try to integrate amavisd-milter mail delivery hangs at 63% and the following message appears in /var/log/mail :
Mar 31 12:57:26 erato amavis-milter[20033]: Starting, handing off to smfi_main
Mar 31 12:57:34 erato sendmail[20038]: STARTTLS=server, relay=evnomia.localnet [192.168.0.11], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256
Mar 31 12:57:34 erato sendmail[20038]: AUTH=server, relay=evnomia.localnet [192.168.0.11], authid=someuser@erato, mech=CRAM-MD5, bits=0
Mar 31 12:57:34 erato sendmail[20038]: p2V9vY1T020038: from=<someuser@mydomain.com>, size=494, class=0, nrcpts=3, msgid=<201103311257.33784.someuser@mydomain.com>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=evnomia.localnet [192.168.0.11]
Mar 31 12:57:51 erato amavis-milter[20033]: p2V9vY1T020038: (mlfi_eom) failed to send() Sender: Broken pipe
Mar 31 12:57:51 erato amavis-milter[20033]: p2V9vY1T020038: (mlfi_eom) communication failure
It seems whatever I do, the delivery of the message continues to hang and it can only be received by sendmail only if I stop amavisd. which makes me believe it is rather a problem of amavis than sendmail.
In order to introduce amavis-milter in sendmail I used the following entry in linux.mc :
define(MILTER')dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(milter-amavis’, `S=local:/var/run/amavis/amavis-milter.sock, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m’)
As for amavisd.conf the entries are the usual needed in order amavis to operate without complain with the addition of this as it was suggested by amavisd documentation :
$notify_method = ‘pipe:flags=q argv=/usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -i -odd -f ${sender} – ${recipient}’;
$forward_method = undef;
I have also uninstall all involved programs, deleted all conf files and re-installed them but alas without any success.
The same configuration was used at least once with almost all previous SuSE/openSUSE versions since 1998.
Can somebody provide any insight regarding this matter?
Thanks in advance
Nick
