problem injecting cyrus imapd mails with zmlmtpinject

[marc3k]

Hi there,

I try to inject some mails from a /var/spool/imap/ - dir to a zimbra-account as it is described in some threads in this forum.

Basically this is working perfecty, but only for some mails and never for all. The following errors do occur:

[error] Delivery failed msg=5216. rcpt=user@zimbra.xy response=451 4.0.0 Temporary message delivery failure try again

I tried to "try again" several times as the errormessage requested, but the result was similar - some more or less mails were injected - but not all.

any ideas out there?

thanks in advance

p.s.: unfortunally the original imap-server is'nt availabe - just the directory with the mails - so i can't use a imap-sync tool :-(

Which user are you trying to perform this action with?
Zimrba
Root
Other??

[marc3k]

I tried with both, zimbra and root. same effect.

Take a look at the tomcat log in /opt/zimbra/log/zimba.log

[marc3k]

Thanks for the hint, but there is no logging output from any of the zimbra components in the logfile. Do I have to turn it on for tomcat somewhere?

If you're not logging, this may indicate a larger permissions issue.

What are the permissions on the log file and the parent directory?

oh, we have a missunderstanding here, zimbra is logging, but not while the inject is running. sorry.

Okay then, post the log, and let's see what it says.

well.... next try: generally the logging works.but if i excecute zmlmtpinject there is no logging-output. (is it my bad english? )

let's make sure everything is running (zmcontrol status). then run tail -f /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log while lmtpinjecting and post whatever shows up. after you get the errors, check zmcontrol status again.

are you running this as one batch? about how many messages total? are there many big messages?
