Thank you for posting this, you have made it farther than I have in getting emails to work.  I will be watching this thread and hoping whatever solves your issue works on my install as well.

I am curious when you said "Wizard > basic info > Email setup is tested and working."  how you managed to get that far?  Did you confirm something was sent and arrived in an outside email box or are you saying that no errors came up when you hit test?

05 08/01/12 8:21:44.453  The target device 49 (routed to 49) has not registered. <0xb7700b70>

This is the key line. It means the mailx device isn't running.

Look in Advanced > Devices > find the MailX device, and look at it's Registered: line. It should say Registered: Yes

if it doesn't, this means the device isn't running. select Follow Log, and paste the results.

I thought that might be the problem.

It says registered no.

There is no log file.



Device Mailx, # 49   
Device Template Mailx, device category Other apps, manufacturer Pluto.   
Log not found: /var/log/pluto/49_Mailx.log


I tried to delete and create mailx again. Reboot. Same result.

Is there a service I need to start?

That's the difference between mailx and Core > dcerouter > general info plugin > send mail?

Both are giving the same error.

[tschak909]

is there a Mailx binary in /usr/pluto/bin ?

-Thom

[foogee]

the binary is not there. i symlinked it to /usr/bin/mailx . same result. it does not register.

*thwap-you-really-really-really-really-hard*

Don't do that. Mailx is NOT the mailx binary, but a DCE device we need to talk to. Remove that symlink immediately.

Sorry, I've checked the package repository, and for some reason, the Mailx device isn't being built on 1004. I will coordinate and get this resolved.

-Thom

[tschak909]

Actually, it looks like the author of mailx moved this to the General Info Plugin:

http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/23074

Sorry, You should use that command instead.
-Thom

[foogee]

link removed! sorry!

tried with general info plugin. (general info plugin is registered)

Ok, this leaves postfix. Is postfix running? Do you see anything interesting in syslog, after you execute the messagesend ?

-Tom

[foogee]

OK! im fixed. saw the error in maillog form postfix that was an easy fix. the Mailx in wiki had me going in the wrong direction.  thanks for the help Thom!

just to recap for anyone else having trouble in 1004

step 1.
Wizard > basic info > Email setup
make sure this is working. try to configure your PC with outlook and the same settings and test there first.

Test if it works.
Home > My Devices > Core > DCERouter > General Info Plug-in > send command to device > Send Mail

if it does not work.....

test directly in command line:

mail -v test@test.com
Subject: asdf
just add a period and enter after this line
.
EOT
Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>.

see if postfix is running

pstree | grep master
     |-master-+-pickup

logs go watch.
/var/log/pluto/DCERouter.log
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/syslog

[tschak909]

What was the error in the mail log?

-Thom

[foogee]

it looks like the remote mail server was failing sender verification because the FROM address is root@dcerouter.org. i whitelisted my home ip on the email server for now. now i need to look at how to change root@dcerouter.org to the actual email address. Inside Wizard > Email Setup my from address is setup correctly.


Aug  2 13:46:07 dcerouter postfix/smtp[10303]: 2B62142028C0: to=<my@emailhere.com>, relay=myrelayhere.net[123.123.123.123]:25, delay=0.49, delays=0.15/0/0.17/0.16, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host myrelayhere.net[123.123.123.123] said: 550-Verification failed for <root@dcerouter.org> 550-The mail server could not deliver mail to root@dcerouter.org.  The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries. 550 Sender verify failed (in reply to RCPT TO command))

[tschak909]

This needs to be whatever the hostname is set to, in the Dynamic DNS section, or the external hostname that we derive in the network settings. Anyone want to make a patch?

fogee,

please update the wiki page with your findings, and remove the mailx reference.

Thanks.
