[rancid] Rancid and Postfix

[Marito ...]

Hi all,

I tried several times to change the aliases file, but it then seems not to update the "little db" that postfix uses (it continued sending the email to the previous configured account).
So I gave up trying to make it work, and ended changing the script that make the thing (control_rancid).

I searched for :
 
# the receipient(s) of diffs
mailrcpt=${mailrcpt:-"@MAILPLUS@${GROUP}${MAILDOMAIN}"}; export mailrcpt
adminmailrcpt=${mailrcpt:-"@ADMINMAILPLUS@${GROUP}${MAILDOMAIN}"};
 
 
Then replaced @MAILPLUS@${GROUP}${MAILDOMAIN}  with my desired email account, and I got it working. 
 
Hope this help you.
Regards.-
 
Mario

Have you tried to watch log mail logs?
 
Delete /home/rancid/logs/
Tail /var/logs/mail
 
Open another terminal window and ssh/telnet into your rancid box
 
Ø  Add a new device or make a change to device then run rancid manual
Ø  Rancid will trigger an email alert
Ø  Watch mail logs
Ø  Watch /home/rancid/logs/the-recentlog

HY,

 

My Problem is not to send the E-Mail this works fine with the console "telnet localhost 25" i believe the problem is the communication between Rancid and postfix. I think postfix didn't recognize that Rancid is doing something.

My postfix/main.cf looks like the following:

 

myhostname = my hostname
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = IP of the E-Mail server,localhost
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 10
recipient_delimiter = +
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 100
relayhost = IP of the E-Mail Server
empty_address_recipient = My E-Mail

 

As you can see i have an relay host.

Please help me i am realy desperately.





Best Regards

Any changes on email server or aliases?   

Are you using relayhost, check vi /etc/postfix/main.cf and make sure admins are not blocking smtp-relay.

Hey every body,


 


I have a maybe simple problem.


I have installed an configured Rancid 1 year ago, everything runs fine and Rancid backups every config change.


Now i would configure Rancid to send E-Mails with postfix.


I installed postfix and configure it. With telnet localhost 25 i could send E-Mails maually.


But now i have to configure aliases but i don't understand it. I have installed and configured Rancid like in this Tutorial. http://openmaniak.com/rancid_tutorial.php


Please help me to define Aliases i hav tried it with:


rancid-Grp Name: MY EMAIL ADDRESS


rancid-admin-GrpName: MY EMAIL ADDRESS


But nothing happens.


 


I hope somebody could help me


 


THANKS !


Best Regards
