Can't receive e-mail after upgrade to SME 7.0rc2
« on: May 04, 2006, 03:53:24 AM »
Hi,
I had a SME7.0 upgrade problem related to unsupported add-ons causing errors. I had a fresh SME6.01 911 backup, so I installed SME 6.01 again and restored. I changed the name of my custom-templates directory and created a new clean one, then ran the upgrade to 7.0rc2. All seem well, except e-mail for all users stopped working, except for the admin account. I noticed the user directories permissions got changed, probably during the  backup2ws restore.

For each of my users I did this:
chown -R user:user user
and
chmod -R 755 /home/e-smith/files/users/*

I was expecting to see the mail from the last few days come pouring in, but did not. The qmail log showed many of these from before the permissions change:

2006-05-03 21:12:21.904860500 delivery 9349: deferral: Unable_to_switch_to_/home/e-smith/files/users/myusername:_access_denied._(#4.3.0)/

I tested and found I could send, but not receive e-mail. My messages log shows this from around the time of the upgrade to 7.0rc2:

May  3 01:08:32 server esmith::event[2061]: WARNING: Template processing succeeded for /home/e-smith/files/users/myusername//.qmail: 1 fragment generated warnings  

I thought that might have something to do with the error, but I don't know where this template is refers to might be stored or exactly what might need fixing. Perhaps it was a hold over from changes made by the old 6.01 securemail add-on or fetchmail add-on. Any ideas?

Thanks

I think I got it fixed, I did:

signal-event email-update
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

E-mail from the last couple of days started coming in automagically.  :pint:

Goodnight All!

Well done but might it be signal-event post-upgrade?
I get an error with signal-event post-update
