The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Munz, Tobias" <address@concealed>]

Hello everybody,

 

I got an problem with the archive function of sympa recording to encrypted messages.

 

I can’t receive encrypted E-Mails from an archive of a list. I don’t receive an response from the server if I send an encrypted message from the archive.

 

This is the error which I always get:

 

Jan  9 11:44:48 mailinglisten-dev wwsympa[23581]: info WWSympa started

Jan  9 11:44:50 mailinglisten-dev sympa[11647]: err tools::smime_find_keys() unable to opendir /home/sympa/list_data/sympa: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (I translate: Unable to find file or directory)

Jan  9 11:44:50 mailinglisten-dev sympa[11647]: err tools::smime_decrypt() Unable to decrypt message : missing certificate file

Jan  9 11:44:50 mailinglisten-dev sympa[11647]: notice Moving bad file address@concealed to bad/

My question is why Sympa try to find the needed certificate files under the directory path: /home/sympa/list_data/sympa. I tried to find this parameter in the script files but it seems to be that there aren’t such an parameter for setting this path.

 

I also need to know which certificate files sympa need to encrypt the archived message object. I think it is the cert.pm and private_key under /home/sympa/list_data/demoliste.

 

When I create /home/sympa/list_data/sympa and put these files (cert.pm and private_key) under this directory sympa is able to send the message without reporting an problem but the process sympa.pl die.

 

Additional Information recording to my S/MIME configurations:

 

sympa.conf

 

###\\\\ S/MIME pluggin ////###

 

## Path to OpenSSL

## Sympa knowns S/MIME if openssl is installed

openssl /usr/bin/openssl

 

## The directory path use by OpenSSL for trusted CA certificates

# capath        /home/sympa/etc/ssl.crt

 

##  This parameter sets the all-in-one file where you can assemble the Certificates of Certification Authorities ($

cafile  /home/sympa/etc/ssl.crt/cert-bundle.pem

 

## User CERTs directory

ssl_cert_dir    /home/sympa/list_data/X509-user-certs

 

##

crl_dir /home/sympa/list_data/crl

 

How can I solve this problem so that I can provide the functionality to receive encrypted messages from the archive of an list?

 

with best regards
