The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Graham Pearson <address@concealed>]

Now to add to my inquiry. When I recompiled the software and added the queue link into /etc/smrsh, I was able to send a mesasge to the list. However, now the list even though 8 subscribers are within the list, the log files show 0 subscribers and archives the message.

I see information within the mysql database tables that refelect the website admin pages but viewing the log files still shows

Mar  5 13:54:24 lists sympa[2272]: notice main::DoFile() Processing /address@concealed ; sender: <address@concealed>#012 ; message-id: <address@concealed>#012

Mar  5 13:54:37 lists archived[2282]: notice Archiving address@concealed for list address@concealed

My log file debug is set to 4 but I do not think that is correct as it does not give me much information.

What about the /sympa/spool/ directories?

Also, do you use smrsh? If yes then:

[part of sympa documentation]

If using sendmail, maybe it is configured to use the secured shell smrsh.

# grep smrsh /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
FEATURE(`smrsh', `/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl

Smrsh obliges you to copy all the programs that are called from the mail aliases into the dedicated /etc/smrsh directory. Therefore you will have to tell Sympa that binaries should be installed in the /etc/smrsh directory. This can be performed via the –with-bindir option of sympa’s configure:

./configure --with-bindir=/etc/smrsh

Just to follow up.

The /home/sympa is 755

Within the /home/sympa/bin directory, I have made the same changes to User, Ownership and rights from a working server at another business that has been working for the past 2 years. On this troubling server, if I restart sympa and send a message to the only list on the server at this time, I get the same message back. I have also change the log_level to 4 within /etc/sympa.conf and trying to see what might be going on.

This is a CentOS 6 x86_64 server with all of the updates done before the 6.1.17 version of sympa was installed

It sounds as if /home/sympa/bin/queue is not executable by the sendmail process, probably because of restrictive permissions on the path (maybe /home/sympa is permission 700 ?)

 

Try this:

 

# chmod a+rx /home/sympa /home/sympa/bin /home/sympa/bin/queue

# chown sympa /home/sympa/bin/queue

# chmod u+s /home/sympa/bin/queue

 

You may well also need to change permissions on other directories, though the setuid sympa on the queue program will hopefully fix most of this.

Hello:

In version 6.1.17 under a fresh install of centos, I am having an issue with the following error message in the log files

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

"| /home/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"

    (reason: Service unavailable)

    (expanded from: <address@concealed>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----

smrsh: "queue" not available for sendmail programs (stat failed)

At this time, I am unable to find a solution. Does anyone have a place where I can look.
