Dear list, (Please CC me, as I am not subscribed.)
Situation --------- I set up Sympa [1] and used this configuration [2] as the basis for setup with virtual hosts. This setup does not use /etc/mail/sympa.aliases with pipes, but defines routers and transports instead. The thing is, there is no dedicated domain for the lists. It is the same for the users as for the lists. For example the domain is dom.org, user user has her/his address [email protected] and the list list has the address [email protected] Problem ------- Now if recipient verification is turned on, exim does not run as root and therefore is not allowed to check the list directory for certain files and it rejects with the error message “Unrouteable address” if the sender is *not* from the local machine.¹ The added routers are pasted after these notes. 1. sympa_domains is currently the same as local_domains 2. Permissions. $ ls -l /var/lib/ […] drwxrwx--x 6 sympa sympa 4096 2009-01-17 18:15 sympa […] $ sudo ls -l /var/lib/sympa total 16 drwxr-x--- 6 sympa sympa 4096 2009-01-26 13:44 expl drwxrwxr-x 3 sympa sympa 4096 2009-01-17 22:31 static_content drwxrwx--x 4 sympa sympa 4096 2009-02-01 12:12 wwsarchive drwxrwx--x 2 sympa sympa 4096 2008-10-19 21:13 x509-user-certs $ sudo ls -l /var/lib/sympa/expl drwxr-x--- 6 sympa sympa 4096 2009-01-29 00:00 domain.org $ sudo ls -l /var/lib/sympa/expl/domain.org drwxr-x--- 4 sympa sympa 4096 2009-01-29 08:43 list $ sudo ls -l /var/lib/sympa/expl/domain.org/list/config -rw-r----- 1 sympa sympa 942 2009-01-29 08:30 /var/lib/sympa/expl/domain.org/list/config 3. In case the list does not exist, I added a + in the require_file directives and deleted no_more at the end of the last three routers. Maybe an if exist file statement would be more beneficial. ### Sympa sympa_aliases: debug_print = "R: sympa_aliases for $local_p...@$domain" driver = accept domains = +sympa_domains:+local_domains local_parts = sympa : listmaster transport = sympa_transport no_more sympa_router: driver = accept domains = +sympa_domains require_files = +SYMPA_HOME/expl/$domain/$local_part/config condition = ${if eqi{${lookup{status}lsearch{SYMPA_HOME/expl/$domain/$local_part/config}}}{open}{yes}{no}} user = sympa local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = -request : -editor : \ -subscribe : -unsubscribe transport = sympa_transport sympaowner_router: driver = accept domains = +sympa_domains require_files = +SYMPA_HOME/expl/$domain/$local_part/config condition = ${if eqi{${lookup{status}lsearch{SYMPA_HOME/expl/$domain/$local_part/config}}}{open}{yes}{no}} user = sympa local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = -owner : -owner+* transport = sympaowner_transport sympabounce_router: driver = accept domains = +sympa_domains user = sympa local_part_prefix = bounce+ transport = sympabounce_transport sympaabuse_router: driver = accept domains = +sympa_domains user = sympa local_parts = abuse-feedback-report : abuse : postmaster transport = sympabounce_transport Possible Solutions? ------------------- So recipient verification fails, due to that the directory cannot be read/checked. So I this came to my mind. 1. Disable recipient verification. 2. Add exim to the sympa group. 3. Can one change the group in the recipient verification state? 4. Adapt the permissions of the /var/lib/sympa directories and sub-directories. Could you think of something else, something simple or elegant to check those config files in the beginning to use recipient verification? I looked at the hints for Mailman [4], but it did not work. Thanks in advance. Bests, Paul ¹ sudo exim4 -bt [email protected] finds the correct router, since it is running as root(?). You need to run sudo exim4 -bh [external ip] to find out that it is rejected.
