Topic: Mail exchange did not work

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.6
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:  Debian Jessie
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): PGSQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Apache
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Using the configuration described above, I was not able to send a mail from user: postmaster@x.com to master@x.com knowing that Postgres exists in separate docker container. Using Thunderbird as a mail client to test the configuration, it said : "server configuration problems" after trying to send an e-mail.
P.S: The users have been recognized by Thunderbird.

What's missing ?

Seems iRedAPD service is not running.

Any error while restarting iredapd service? Also any error in /var/log/iredapd/iredapd.log?

Re: Mail exchange did not work

*) Is this a new iRedMail installation? Or upgrade from an old iRedMail release?
*) Please add a systemd service with command below:

ln -s /opt/iredapd/scripts/iredapd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/iredapd.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart iredapd

Re: Mail exchange did not work

Hi, thank you very much for your tips.

*) Yes, it's a fresh Iredmail installation

*) the first command "ln -s" said that the link already exists; the second one and the third one failed and both generated this message "Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1"

Please advise.

Please show us output:

systemctl list-unit-files | grep -i 'dbus'

Seems some dbus service is not running.

Re: Mail exchange did not work

P.S: I tried to install iredmail and postgres on a single docker  container  (https://github.com/docker-build/iRedMail), but got the same iredapd issues.

Re: Mail exchange did not work

No idea right now. sad

Does it work if you remove /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/iredapd.service (a symbol link) and re-create it?

Re: Mail exchange did not work

I will check it. Is it OK to run iredapd using python ? (from /opt/iredapd/iredapd.py)

Re: Mail exchange did not work

Re: Mail exchange did not work

This is not right. Did you see any error in file "iRedMail-0.9.6/runtime/install.log" and "iRedMail-0.9.6/runtime/pkg.install.log"?

Seems your iRedMail installation was not success, it's better to reinstall server OS then install iRedMail again.

Re: Mail exchange did not work

I am working in a Docker environment  (Debian docker image) and want to install iredmail on it (inside the Docker container).
Have you ever tried to install iredmail on a Docker environment ?

Re: Mail exchange did not work

OK thank you very much.

Regarding "iRedMail-0.9.6/runtime/pkg.install.log" , everything is OK, that been said no errors has been noticed.

Here are the messages (in iRedMail-0.9.6/runtime/install.log ) :

psql : database amavisd does not exist
psql: database iredapd does not exist

I have created those databases and granted the  login to the corresponding users but got that message saying "Programming error: Relation 'users' does not exist" (in /var/log/iredapd/iredapd.log )

For amavisd, you can import its SQL template file: iRedMail-0.9.6/samples/amavisd/amavisd.pgsql.
For iRedAPD, please import its SQL tempate files:

- /opt/iredapd/SQL/iredapd.pgsql
- /opt/iredapd/SQL/greylisting_whitelist_domains.sql

"users" table should be created after you imported sql temlate mentioned above.

Re: Mail exchange did not work

Thank you very much. Finally, after executing those SQL files, it was still not working. I tried to start amavisd service. Finally, it worked. I have successfully exchanged e-mails using Thunderbird between two users.

Again, thank you very much for your help and support.
