Mailgate problem at rt3

RT Users
1

everything is set up nicely, the web interface works, and all is well,
except for one thing…

sending a mail to RT gives a bounce if I use a mailer [such as pine], and
goes fine if I don’t (if i use “mail” in the commandline).

This is what I get back:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
“|/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue Fresh --action correspond --url http://RT-URL/”
(reason: 255)

RT server error.

The RT server which handled your email did not behave as expected. It
said:

554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 255

however spam goes out fine.

logs are stored (from some reason) in /var/log/messages (although I
defined a log file!) - and does input info when spam gets ticketed, but
logs nothing when those mails are bouncing.

here is the part from maillog:

stat=unknown mailer error 255

Sendmail 8.11.6/8.11.6. Perl 5.8.0. MySQL 4.0.11-gamma-Max. Apache 1.3.27

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Perhaps you should call the mail gateway by hand and see what the full
transcript of an error looks like.

logs are stored (from some reason) in /var/log/messages (although I
defined a log file!) - and does input info when spam gets ticketed, but
logs nothing when those mails are bouncing.

Look at the logging section of RT_Config.pm, specifically

Set($LogToSyslog , ‘debug’);

is the default setting that writes log info to the system log
(i.e. /var/log/messages).

If you want to turn off logging to the system log, put the following in
your RT_SiteConfig.pm:

Set($LogToSyslog , undef);

To get logging to rt.log, make sure you have stopped and then started
Apache after something like the following has been added to your site
config. Also verify the Apache user can write to the rt.log file.

Set($LogToFile , ‘debug’);

Hope this helps,
Bill

sendmail -d outputs lots of debugging, but doesn’t listen on port 25 from
some reason… so it’s kinda impossible to check.

you did notice that the one complaining is NOT the mail server, but RT…

Perhaps you should call the mail gateway by hand and see what the full

everything is set up nicely, the web interface works, and all is well,
except for one thing…

sending a mail to RT gives a bounce if I use a mailer [such as pine], and
goes fine if I don’t (if i use “mail” in the commandline).

This is what I get back:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
“|/usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue Fresh --action correspond --url http://RT-URL/”
(reason: 255)
(expanded from: rt@backbone)

----- Transcript of session follows -----
RT server error.

The RT server which handled your email did not behave as expected. It
said:

554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 255

however spam goes out fine.

logs are stored (from some reason) in /var/log/messages (although I
defined a log file!) - and does input info when spam gets ticketed, but
logs nothing when those mails are bouncing.

here is the part from maillog:

stat=unknown mailer error 255

Sendmail 8.11.6/8.11.6. Perl 5.8.0. MySQL 4.0.11-gamma-Max. Apache 1.3.27

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
