[SOLVED] Exception occurred during SendMsg

[rozzzmarin]

Hi,

I have zimbra 5.0.18 installed on vserver Debian Etch 4.0. The host is also Debain Etch. I the vserver I have 2 interfaces:

• loopback - 192.168.1.10
• interface with public IP / direct connection to Internet.

All zimbra services are running fine (zcontrol status), but I can't send / receive messages. When I trying to send message I get a error:

method:	SendMsgRequest
msg:	system failure: MessagingException
code:	service.FAILURE

In the mailbox.log I see these lines:

smtp - exception occurred during SendMsg
com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.MailSender$SafeMessagingException: Connection refused; chained exception is:
	java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
	at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:1378)
	at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(SMTPTransport.java:399)

Telnet is fine on 192.168.1.10:25 (zimbra service response)
My /etc/hosts is:

192.168.1.10 localhost.localdomain localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mail.xxx.com mail

Please tell me, what I missed? I configured postfix (and other zimbra services) to use my 192.168.1.10 loopback interface. Maybe I have to configure routing? or put some services on the public interface?

Have a read through the documentation as /etc/hosts should look like

127.0.0.1           localhost.localdomain localhost
your.ip.address         FQDN yourhostname

Yep, I used docs while installation and made /etc/hosts as required. Is you telling me that it is not as required, that means I really don't understand how it should look.

Do you mean about 127.0.0.1? I can't have it in the vserver.

Let's take a sample. Suppose I buy a domain "example.com". Made a MX record at mail.example.com and assigned 123.123.123.123 to mail.example.com. Also I used 192.168.1.10 as loopback on the vserver. In this case my /etc/hosts should look like:

192.168.1.10 localhost.localdomain localhost
123.123.123.123 mail.example.com mail

what it wrong?

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
123.123.123.123 mail.example.com mail

Hmm, it was some kind of vserver misconfiguration. I used --hostname option when created my vserver, but in the guest's /etc/hostname I found name of the host server. I put this name into the /etc/hosts and was able to send message from the Zimbra web interface. I don't receive this message in my non-zimbra mailbox, but it is another problem and i will propably create another thread if won't be able to resolve the problem.
