Topic: Added Let's Encrypt all works, but sendmail from mx server is rejected

============ Required information ====

- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS release 6.7 (Final)
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL

- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====
Hi,
I installed Let's Encrypt about a month ago on my iRedMail server. I just upgraded today to 0.9.5 to see if that fixed it. I used this web site as a guide to install Let's Encrypt: http://www.dsp3.org/integrating-lets-en … -iredmail/

Everything works including sendmail from other servers, with the exception of sending emails (logwatch, sendmail) from the mail server. Logwatch and sendmail used to work before I installed Let's Encrypt, and I have tried to retrace my steps to fix it, but I can't seem to find the problem. I have tried changes in /etc/postfix/main.cf (hostname/mydestination), with no luck.

Below are logs and config files
For this example, (to avoid spam), I have done a search for my domain name and replaced it with "<mydomain>"

parts of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:

SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/mx.<mydomain>.com/cert.pem

# Server Private Key:
# If the key is not combined with the certificate, use this
# directive to point at the key file. Keep in mind that if
# you've both a RSA and a DSA private key you can configure
# both in parallel (to also allow the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/mx.<mydomain>.com/privkey.pem

Please show us related log of logwatch/sendmail failure.

Sorry if this is not what you are asking for. I have tried to include several other things as well, including the email notification (returned mail).

Re: Added Let's Encrypt all works, but sendmail from mx server is rejected

Are you running 'sendmail' daemon/service or just run the command used to send email?

Re: Added Let's Encrypt all works, but sendmail from mx server is rejected

It doesn't look like sendmail daemon is running. I installed iRedMail on a new server about a year ago, April 2015. It should be a fairly generic installation.

[root@mx ~]# ps -ef | grep sendmail
root 26357 25670 0 09:10 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sendmail

I just realized that some cron emails come through without getting returned.

Re: Added Let's Encrypt all works, but sendmail from mx server is rejected

I think your installation of SSL certs and problems with logwatch are coincidence. If you switch back to previous SSL certs, does the problem resolve itself?

Re: Added Let's Encrypt all works, but sendmail from mx server is rejected

Ok, it started occurring the second morning after I installed the new certs (I don't remember if I rebooted the server that day or not). Unfortunately the old certs expired, so I don't think I can switch back.

Thanks - I will keep messing around, and let you know if I figure something out.

Re: Added Let's Encrypt all works, but sendmail from mx server is rejected

I was able to fix it. Since other cron jobs were sending mail properly, I removed the mailto line in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf,
and
/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
changed the line to MailTo = root

It now sends emails to my account

Jan 24, 2025: iRedMail-1.7.2 has been released.
