I am able to send an email by using msmtp from the command line and I can telnet into my smtp relay on port 25. I think it is a problem between RT and msmtp. Here are some details of my configuration.
The full path for the msmtp.conf file is /etc/request-tracker3.6/msmtp.conf and which msmtp returned /usr/bin/msmtp. Here is the contents of the msmtp script. #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/msmtp -t -C /etc/request-tracker3.6/msmtp.conf /usr/bin/logger -t RTmailer -p syslog.info -- CALL /usr/bin/msmtp -nt "$@" RETURNED $? Here is the SendmailPath line in the SiteConfig file: Set ($SendmailPath, "/etc/request-tracker3.6/msmtp"); Apache has been restart after editing SiteConfig. -----Original Message----- From: Joop [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 3:29 AM To: Swart, Tom Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [rt-users] RT stop sending emails Swart, Tom wrote: > I have gone back to using msmtp and have an external SMTP relay defined. > In the /var/log/mail.log file the only current entries are for the > results of my auto fetchmail cronjob.

If it hasn't this then you could resort to: telnet mailserver 25 And by hand do a conversation with it. I've been having problems lately with Centos4.7 and its sendmail and each time it turned out that the other end didn't like my [email protected]. This being caused by the fact that host.domain didn't have a DNS entry in the wide world. So using a couple of option within Sendmail (masqerading) fixed this. You could have a look and see it you're not hit by this either.
