Topic: SMTP not working after upgrade to 7.0b8

[devlynd]

I'm not posting this is as a bug because I upgraded over a slightly modified version of 6.0.1.  The contribs I had installed on the box were user account access, the knudsen antivirus/spamassasin and postgresql.

I was forced to upgrade because my system took a nose dive and refused to boot, stopping after 'freeing kernel memory.'  Please don't lecture me on using beta software.  I knew the risks and am now trying to deal with it.  I tried 'upgrading' to 6.0.1 and 6.0, but the installs apparently did not detect an early enough system to actually reinstall.

So, after the upgrade everything seems to be working fairly well except SMTP.  I did remove the contribs after successfully booting into the system.  I can access IMAP w/Thunderbird and webmail.  However, the server is neither sending nor receiving mail.  When I try to send mail w/webmail I get the following error:

There was an error sending your message: unable to connect to smtp server localhost:25

I've searched through the forums and have so far not found anything that resolves the problem.  Here are some log excerpts:

I know that's a lot of info.  Any help would be appreciated.

Seems like you need to install the Perl module File::MMagic.

ssl-smtpfront-qmail is incompatible with 7.0, which uses an SSL wrapped version of qpsmtpd for ssmtp service. (Note however that this doesn't explain your SMTP problem).

Ideally the vendor of your contribs will have already done compatibility testing with 7.0, and will have corrected any problems or published workarounds. That doesn't seem to have been the case for the contribs you have installed.

Please update the wiki with your experiences. Thanks.

Actually as soon as I read your post I realized that I forgot to mention that I had installed the secure email contrib as well (which is where ssl-smtpfront-qmail is from.)  I'll look for issues w/that contrib and hopefully get this figured out.  I will, indeed, update the wiki when I get this straightened out.  Thanks again.

Installing that contrib in 7 is pointless, as 7 already includes pretyy much all its functionality.

What I meant was that I had it installed before I was forced to do the upgrade.  I have not tried to reinstall it or any other contribs.  I am actually going through the system and removing the contribs I had installed previously.  At this point I am just trying to get SMTP to 'wake up.'  Everything else seems to be fine (domain controller, samba, imap, etc.)

Thanks,

I have confirmed that perl-File-MMagic-1.22-1 is installed on the system.

I'm pretty sure you'll find that's an SME 6.x compatible RPM, not a 7.x one. Same version, but different pathnames inside the RPM. Have a look at rpm -qiv perl-File-MMagic-1.22-1 (and rpm -qlv ...) and see where and when it was built (and what files it contains). Then remove it, and install the RPM included on the SME 7.0b8 CDROM.

Charlie and holck, I owe you both a cookie.

The version File-MMagic that was on the system was 1.22-1.  The version in beta 8 is 1.21-2.  It probably didn't upgrade because a higher version number existed on the system.  I couldn't do a straight rpm -e due to a bunch of dependencies.  I had to do a rpm -Uvh --force, which I know is ugly, but it seemed to work.  I am able to send and receive mail again.

Thanks again for all the help.  I do appreciate it.
