Zimbra fails to send mail.

[devzero]

su zimbra
postqueue -p
returns this error:

(host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 Error in processing, id=02474-01, parts_decode_ext FAILED: Unix utility file(1) not available, but is needed at (eval 41) line 109. (in reply to end of DATA command))

What unix utility file is missing? Im running Debian Sarge 3.1r1 minimal install.

Try:

su - zimbra
postqueue -p


Also look in /var/log/zimbra.log

[devzero]

Both of those returns : parts_decode_ext FAILED: Unix utility file(1) not available, but is needed at (eval 41) line 109.

what's the output of this:

echo $PATH
which file
ls -la /usr/bin/file

[dzed]

try apt-get install file

the package is :
[file - Determines file type using "magic" numbers]

I have this error aswell and I've tried everything suggested here. I'm using Ubuntu.

Wow.
This is an oldie.

File a bug. Ubuntu is in beta, and it's likely that this is an issue.

su - zimbra
postqueue -p
returns the following message which is displayed on every message in the Deferred Queue

(host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 Error in processing, id=32007-06, parts_decode_ext FAILED: Unix utility file(1) not available, but is needed at (eval 58) line 111. (in reply to end of DATA command))

I am running the latest vs of Debian Sarge with the 2.6 kernel

Can anyone help me fix this? Thank you...

I did follow the directions earlier in this thread, I rechecked and I still have the same problem.

I just received an message from a friend of mine who suggested I look here:
ZimbraMtaMyNetworks - ZimbraWiki and I followed the directions on that link. This is what I did, and now mail is flowing but seems a bit slow.

mail:~# su - zimbra
zimbra@mail:~$ postconf mynetworks
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mynetwork/29
zimbra@mail:~$ zmprov getServer mail.server| grep zimbraMtaMyNe
