RT not sending outgoing emails

Hello All,

I’m having a weird problem where RT can’t send out going emails. I’m using Postfix and running sendmail command from the shell works fine, just whenever a new ticket gets created or a comment was added, RT is not able to send outgoing emails.

On the web interface, it says:
The RT System itself - Sending the previous mail has failed. Please contact your admin, they can find more details in the logs.

In syslogs, the following error is thrown:
Nov 7 09:04:30 *** postfix/sendmail[30696]: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter setgid_group: unknown group name: postdrop

At first I thought a misconfigured postfix is causing the problem, but again I can run sendmail command from the shell and it sends out email with no problem.

I do have the postdrop group in my /etc/group file.

What’s weird is there is no “setgid_group” in file /etc/postfix/main.cf.

Below is output of postconf -n:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
config_directory = /etc/postfix
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mydestination = [domain], [domain], localhost
myhostname = [domain]
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
myorigin = /etc/mailname
readme_directory = no
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost = [some ip]
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP I.T., have you tried turning it off and on again?

smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtpd_use_tls = yes

I’m running RT 4.2.8 on a Debian Wheezy box with MySQL server. Anyone has any insight to my problem? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Are you running postfix in a chroot? If so perhaps the chroot needs to
be updated.

Several things:

ls -l /etc/group

ls -l /path/to/php.ini

ls -l /var/spool/postfix/etc/group

[ -f /var/spool/postfix/etc/group ] && cat /var/spool/postfix/etc/group

Also, grep setgid from your main.cf. And whats in the mailer config from
php? A phpinfo might be nice too.On 11/07/2014 03:29 PM, Livy Li wrote:

Hello All,

I’m having a weird problem where RT can’t send out going emails. I’m
using
Postfix and running sendmail command from the shell works fine, just
whenever a new ticket gets created or a comment was added, RT is not
able to
send outgoing emails.

On the web interface, it says:
The RT System itself - Sending the previous mail has failed. Please
contact
your admin, they can find more details in the logs.

In syslogs, the following error is thrown:
Nov 7 09:04:30 *** postfix/sendmail[30696]: fatal: file
/etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter setgid_group: unknown group name:
postdrop

At first I thought a misconfigured postfix is causing the problem, but
again
I can run sendmail command from the shell and it sends out email with
no
problem.

I do have the postdrop group in my /etc/group file.

What’s weird is there is no “setgid_group” in file /etc/postfix/
main.cf.

Below is output of postconf -n:

I’m running RT 4.2.8 on a Debian Wheezy box with MySQL server.
Anyone has
any insight to my problem? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!
