Title: Receiving every email twice
Post by: migraineboy on August 24, 2007, 07:50:27 AM

I have a box I upgraded from 6.0.1 to 7.2.  I backed up to a file and restored via the file within server-manager.  Everything seems to have upgraded fine except mail.

I do not know where to start looking for the problem as I have never seen mail get doubled upon receiving it.  Sending messages works fine. 

Any ideas as to what might have happened?  I a guessing that it is something up with anti-spam and message are not getting hooked right.

Ideas please....

Do you have any contribs installed?

I had a Swerts-Knudsen spamassin contrib installed on the 6.0.1 box.  However, before backing it up I *think* I got it uninstalled cleanly.

After the upgrade I have not installed any contribs.  I have seen a script that would help identify any contribs that have been loaded...but now I am beginning to think that there may have been some weird customization to a template that was copied over.

You can easily remove that by moving the templates*-custom folders to another location, create new empty folders and issue a reconfigure either by server-manager or by running this from the command line:

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-even rebootHowever if the template is installed by a contrib but not removed properly, it might also be somewhere in the templates folder itself. perhaps the audittools can help you with this task:

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/audittools/templatesAbove command helps you identify if template fragments are installed manually or by RPM and if they override a default setting or not. Mind you this is a SME Server 7 feature I believe

THANK YOU.  The issue was in the custom templates and is now fixed after recreated the template folders.
