Topic: SME 7 SMTP Server reject my local connection from software

[Snoopyski]

Hello Everyone.

I have a accounting software that use a smtp server to send paiement report by mail... I used SME 6.01 before and works greate ! BUT now I<m with SME Server 7 and I'm not able anymore to send any mail from my application via the SME SMTP server's !!!

Any idea?

The application give me only those settings:

Proxy server IP:
Proxy Port:
SMTP Server IP:
SMTP Port:
SMTP User:

Thanks for help !

I would look in the server's log files (qpsmtpd for this one) to see whether there were reasons why the smtp server might not have accepted the incoming mail?
There seems to be standard software out hat does not care much about standard mail format and my guess is your smtp server does not accept the incoming mail.

Hello,

I really not understand !!! The new server have all exacly same setting from the old one (server IP, server name, Domain name, etc...)

I really think it's a problems with the new security setting from the SME 7

Thanks,

Snoopyski

I really think it's a problems with the new security setting from the SME 7

SME7 includes new anti-spam features. One of those features refuses mail which is incorrectly formed - in particular, which doesn't include a Date header.

See section 4.1.1.1 in:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt

Your software sent "ehlo" when it is required to say "ehlo some.domain.name". You therefore have a second bug to report in the accounting software.

[Snoopyski]

Yes sure,

But Why it is working fine with SME 6.0.1 ???

Thanks,

Snoopyski

[Snoopyski]

Can I do something to "bypass" the problem ?

Because I need a solution ASAP !!! Because a lot of employe's waithing for is pay reports !

Thanks

As I said above:

SME7 includes new anti-spam features.

[CharlieBrady]

Change lines 144 and 145 of /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Qpsmtpd/SMTP.pm from:

  return $self->respond (501,
    "helo requires domain/address - see RFC-2821 4.1.1.1") unless $hello_host;

to:

  #return $self->respond (501,
  #  "helo requires domain/address - see RFC-2821 4.1.1.1") unless $hello_host;

and restart qpsmtpd:

  runsvctrl t /service/qpsmtpd

You can use the editor "pico".

The bug report I've already referred you to includes a workaround for that bug in your accounting software.

[Snoopyski]

OK Thanks CharlieBrady,

It's works NOW !!!      

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/plugins/
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/plugins/
touch 17check_basicheaders

Although a little more complex, it might be a good idea to make it obvious in
the output file:

echo "# 17check_basicheaders forcibly disabled" >17check_basicheaders

Thanks again,

You save my life
