Description

Hi,

I've got postfix update (to my /hipster installation - OpenIndiana Development oi_151.1.8 X86 (powered by illumos) / illumos-746f551) and sending of e-mails stop to work:

a) /usr/lib/sendmail didn't pointed /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix (which should be done if sendmail is disabled and postfix enabled)
"[2013-10-11 05:02:48] sendmail {2.2} [ID 801593 mail.crit] NOQUEUE: SYSERR: drop_privileges: setuid(0) succeeded (when it should not)"

b) /usr/sbin/postqueue and /usr/sbin/postdrop had wrong group ownership, should be 'postgroup'
"postfix {2.4} [ID 947731 mail.warning] warning: not owned by group postdrop: /usr/sbin/postqueue"
"postfix {2.4} [ID 947731 mail.warning] warning: not owned by group postdrop: /usr/sbin/postdrop"

After fixing those:

$ pfexec rm /usr/lib/sendmail && pfexec  ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix /usr/lib/sendmail
$ pfexec chgrp postdrop /usr/sbin/postqueue /usr/sbin/postdrop

and restarting postfix service, I've got MTA working again...

Postfix pkg:

$ pkg info postfix
          Name: service/network/smtp/postfix
       Summary: Mailer System
      Category: System/Services
         State: Installed

Updated by Predrag Zečević almost 10 years ago

Hi,

hate to update closed ticket, but I have noticed problems:

even if sendmail is disabled, some system programs used it (during boot of illumos-d683e1b this morning)...
Mails have been sent to '${HOSTNAME%%.*}.local' host (bash notation), which then spammed root account alias mailbox.

I think that we still need to run commands from script in attachment (similar to RH alternate sym-linking): rename sendmail tools and link those to postfix ones. Not sure if that will survive packages update (pfexec pkg update --be-name ...)

Regards.
