Hi,
I’ve just updated to 4.0.6 and ticket updates are no longer being emailed. This does not seem to be related to the noted FCGI.pm problem as (1) I’m using mod_perl and (2) I updated the installed FCGI to v 0.74 just in case.
If I revert to 4.0.5 email works fine.

Hi,
I’ve just updated to 4.0.6 and ticket updates are no longer being emailed. This does not seem to be related to the noted FCGI.pm problem as (1) I’m using mod_perl and (2) I updated the installed FCGI to v 0.74 just in case.
If I revert to 4.0.5 email works fine.

Interesting - I’ve just upgraded to 4.0.6 from 4.0.5 and just tested
this (I’m on CentOS 6.2, with mod_perl setup). I couldn’t replicate your
issue. It seems to me that the /usr/sbin/sendmail command failed - have
you checked this? Permissions, command line options etc…

Thanks for the response but no, I’ve tested that and /usr/sbin/sendmail is working fine (tested manually and also by reverting to RT 4.0.5).

What package provides /usr/bin/sendmail on your system? Is it postfix,
or qmail, or SendMail™ or something else?

Exit code 1 isn’t very useful, unfortunately. Does this happen with
every single mail RT tries to send? Are there ever any other exit codes

Not that I can see. I will set $SMTPDebug and see if I can get anything extra out of that.
$SMTPDebug is only when $MailCommand is set to ‘smtp’. It won’t be
useful here.
Does this error happen with every single mail RT tries to send, or just
some?

Is it possible to change that command from “/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t”
to “/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -v”? Because that will cause postfix
(at least) to email some extra information to postmaster.

Niall— Again, please send your replies to rt-users. I subscribe and

Ahh, OK. Maybe exim verbose mode so.
Yes, that would be useful. I’d expect errors in your mail logs if
/usr/bin/sendmail is bailing with a generic error.

So it looks like the reason is that sendmail (exim) isn’t receiving a recipient address:
Bounce emails to the rt user on each event contain:
“A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no delivery could be attempted.”
However, if I change $MailCommand to ‘sendmail’ instead of ‘sendmailpipe’ (and remove the -t arg from $SendmailArguments) email updates work again.
Not sure what the difference between these two methods is but Set($MailCommand , ‘sendmail’); has fixed the issue for me.

That’s mighty strange. Can you send us both your non-working and
working RT 4.0.6 RT_SiteConfig.pm? Please be sure to redact any
passwords contained in them.

Not quite the same. You’re getting a SIGPIPE not a failed exit.
Are you running mod_perl or FastCGI? If fastcgi, mod_fcgid,
mod_fastcgi, or something else?
Can we see a saved copy of the System Configuration page?

Mailing to you.
What’s in your mail logs?
Absolutely nothing worthwhile 
Just a bunch of angry users with broken RT mail from a security
patch.
BTW, as an aside, these are completely conflicting pieces of
information:
Note that you should remove the ‘-t’ from C<$SendmailArguments>
if you use ‘sendmail’ rather than ‘sendmailpipe’
…
These arguments are good for sendmail brand sendmail 8 and newer
C<Set($SendmailArguments,“-oi -t -ODeliveryMode=b -OErrorMode=m”);>

We obviously didn’t run across this problem in testing, and we’re
working to try and replicate it now.

This suggestion is assuming you’re using $MailCommand eq ‘sendmailpipe’.
Putting the two together, if you’re using sendmail brand sendmail AND
MailCommand eq ‘sendmail’ (not a given!), you should use
SendmailArguments ‘-oi -ODeliveryMode=b -OErrorMode=m’.
These are neither here nor there for this issue though.

Will also add to the data that our other RT instance
running 4.0.6 now, on a RHEL 6.2 box, with mod_perl as
well… works fine.

Honest, there’s nothing there to send you. Nothing in error logs
at all per-correspondence. Nothing bad in error logs at RT
startup.
Here’s the ssl_access_log info from a reply, which is all
I have to show for the attempt:

There’s nothing in the mail queue and there’s nothing in
/var/log/maillog, which we have configured in /etc/syslog.conf
as:
mail.* -/var/log/maillog
Are you running with selinux enabled?
Nope.
I’ll point out, too, for more data … that before I did the
patching yesterday, I did a:
mkdir SAVE
cp -rp bin lib share local etc SAVE
Looking at the new lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm from the patch, and
looking at the diff IN the patch file itself, I saw nothing
requiring any new code or DB references, so tried dropping the
old “SAVE/lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm” file back in place. It bought
me nothing.
FWIW, we are seeing the same sendmail problem with 3.8.10 patched
with latest patch set.
We have replicated this problem when running 3.8.12, or 3.8.x + the
security patches, when running under mod_perl; mod_fcgid and mod_fastcgi
are unaffected. We also do not believe 4.0.6 or 4.0.x + security
patches are affected.
