+ | ====== Common Problems ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Make sure user is in group mail == | ||
+ | * Type: | ||
+ | <code bash> | ||
+ | groups | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Check permissions on the outbox file== | ||
+ | * Note if you ever send mail as root you will screw up the permissions. | ||
+ | * Check your permissions in your outbox directory like this: | ||
+ | <code bash> | ||
+ | ls -salt /usr/local/var/wl2k/outbox/ | ||
+ | total 16 | ||
+ | 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 gunn mail 4096 Sep 21 16:48 . | ||
+ | 4 -rw------- 1 gunn mail 214 Sep 21 16:48 V1IRQZ_N7NIX | ||
+ | 4 drwxrwsr-x 3 gunn mail 4096 Sep 21 15:55 .. | ||
+ | 4 -rw------- 1 gunn mail 196 Sep 21 15:55 H51W38_N7NIX | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | <code bash> | ||
+ | ls -salt /usr/local/var/wl2k/ | ||
+ | total 20 | ||
+ | 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 gunn mail 4096 Sep 21 16:48 outbox | ||
+ | 4 drwxrwsr-x 3 gunn mail 4096 Sep 21 15:55 . | ||
+ | 8 -rw------- 1 gunn mail 12288 Sep 21 15:55 mid.db | ||
+ | 4 drwxr-sr-x 4 root staff 4096 Jul 7 12:49 .. | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Check /etc/postfix/transport file == | ||
+ | * Note hactar is the local machine & brox is a machine on my local net. | ||
+ | * The last line is important | ||
+ | <file> | ||
+ | # cat transport | ||
+ | # | ||
+ | localhost : | ||
+ | hactar local: | ||
+ | hactar.localnet local: | ||
+ | brox smtp:[brox.localnet] | ||
+ | brox.localnet smtp:[brox.localnet] | ||
+ | # | ||
+ | * wl2k:localhost | ||
+ | </file> | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Make sure you are addressing To: person with winlink.org == | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Make sure your /etc/postfix/master.cf entry is correct especially user == | ||
+ | * Example: | ||
+ | <file> | ||
+ | wl2k unix - n n - 1 pipe | ||
+ | flags=XFRhu user=gunn argv=/usr/local/libexec/mail.wl2k -m | ||
+ | </file> | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Open 2 console windows for debugging == | ||
+ | * In one console window type: | ||
+ | <code bash> | ||
+ | tail -f /var/log/mail.log | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | * In another console window type: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | echo "test mail from command line" | mutt -s "Test12:56" n7nix@winlink.org | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | * or using the //mail// program | ||
+ | <code bash> | ||
+ | # from command line or script | ||
+ | echo “This will go into the body of the mail” | mail -s '//WL2K cmd line test' -a "From: yourcallsign@winlink.org" -a "Reply-To: yourcallsign@winlink.org" some_regular_email_address | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | * [[plu:email_client_config#mutt_and_mail | Link to set up]] //mutt// or //mail// | ||
+ | * Look for problems in the /var/log/mail.log file |
