emails on ticket updates not being sent in 4.0.6

Hi,

I've just updated to 4.0.6 and ticket updates are no longer being emailed. This does not seem to be related to the noted FCGI.pm problem as (1) I'm using mod_perl and (2) I updated the installed FCGI to v 0.74 just in case.

If I revert to 4.0.5 email works fine.

Sample debug output is :

Interesting - I've just upgraded to 4.0.6 from 4.0.5 and just tested
this (I'm on CentOS 6.2, with mod_perl setup). I couldn't replicate your
issue. It seems to me that the /usr/sbin/sendmail command failed - have
you checked this? Permissions, command line options etc...

Thanks for the response but no, I've tested that and /usr/sbin/sendmail is working fine (tested manually and also by reverting to RT 4.0.5).

What package provides /usr/bin/sendmail on your system? Is it postfix,
or qmail, or SendMail™ or something else?

Exit code 1 isn't very useful, unfortunately. Does this happen with
every single mail RT tries to send? Are there ever any other exit codes
or errors?

$SMTPDebug is only when $MailCommand is set to 'smtp'. It won't be
useful here.

Does this error happen with every single mail RT tries to send, or just
some?

Is it possible to change that command from "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t"
to "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -v"? Because that will cause postfix
(at least) to email some extra information to postmaster.

Yes, that would be useful. I'd expect errors in your mail logs if
/usr/bin/sendmail is bailing with a generic error.

oops, apologies for that.

So it looks like the reason is that sendmail (exim) isn't receiving a recipient address:

Bounce emails to the rt user on each event contain:
"A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no delivery could be attempted."

However, if I change $MailCommand to 'sendmail' instead of 'sendmailpipe' (and remove the -t arg from $SendmailArguments) email updates work again.

Not sure what the difference between these two methods is but Set($MailCommand , 'sendmail'); has fixed the issue for me.

That's mighty strange. Can you send us both your non-working and
working RT 4.0.6 RT_SiteConfig.pm? Please be sure to redact any
passwords contained in them.

You can get a redacted version, along with other useful information, by
saving the Configuration -> Tools -> System Configuration page in your
browser.

FWIW, we are seeing the same sendmail problem with 3.8.10 patched
with latest patch set.

Not quite the same. You're getting a SIGPIPE not a failed exit.

Are you running mod_perl or FastCGI? If fastcgi, mod_fcgid,
mod_fastcgi, or something else?

Can we see a saved copy of the System Configuration page?

What's in your mail logs?

Absolutely nothing worthwhile :(

Just a bunch of angry users with broken RT mail from a security
patch.

BTW, as an aside, these are completely conflicting pieces of
information:

Note that you should remove the '-t' from C<$SendmailArguments>
if you use 'sendmail' rather than 'sendmailpipe'

...

These arguments are good for sendmail brand sendmail 8 and newer
C<Set($SendmailArguments,"-oi -t -ODeliveryMode=b -OErrorMode=m");>

We obviously didn't run across this problem in testing, and we're
working to try and replicate it now.

Not quite.

If you set $MailCommand to 'sendmail' you should remove -t from
SendmailArguments.

This suggestion is assuming you're using $MailCommand eq 'sendmailpipe'.
Putting the two together, if you're using sendmail brand sendmail AND
MailCommand eq 'sendmail' (not a given!), you should use
SendmailArguments '-oi -ODeliveryMode=b -OErrorMode=m'.

These are neither here nor there for this issue though.

Will also add to the data that our *other* RT instance
running 4.0.6 now, on a RHEL 6.2 box, with mod_perl as
well... works fine.

[. In contrast to our 3.8.10 + security patches on RHEL ]
[ 5.8 where web UI -> email broke ]

Can you send me the Sys Config page for that instance?

Can you send us your apache error logs?

Are you running with selinux enabled?

Honest, there's nothing there to send you. Nothing in error logs
at all per-correspondence. Nothing bad in error logs at RT
startup.

Here's the ssl_access_log info from a reply, which is all
I have to show for the attempt:

xx.yy.44.251 - - [23/May/2012:15:44:14 -0400] "GET
/Ticket/Update.html?Action=Respond&id=54826 HTTP/1.1" 200 14631
xx.yy.44.251 - - [23/May/2012:15:44:19 -0400] "POST /Ticket/Update.html
HTTP/1.1" 302 365
xx.yy.44.251 - - [23/May/2012:15:44:21 -0400] "GET
/Ticket/Display.html?id=54826&results=47c7103ceafa17814c73bfbd05661ca1
HTTP/1.1" 200 41286

There's nothing in the mail queue and there's nothing in
/var/log/maillog, which we have configured in /etc/syslog.conf
as:

mail.* -/var/log/maillog

> Are you running with selinux enabled?

Nope.

I'll point out, too, for more data ... that before I did the
patching yesterday, I did a:

mkdir SAVE
cp -rp bin lib share local etc SAVE

Looking at the new lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm from the patch, and
looking at the diff IN the patch file itself, I saw nothing
requiring any new code or DB references, so tried dropping the
old "SAVE/lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm" file back in place. It bought
me nothing.

We have replicated this problem when running 3.8.12, or 3.8.x + the
security patches, when running under mod_perl; mod_fcgid and mod_fastcgi
are unaffected. We also do not believe 4.0.6 or 4.0.x + security
patches are affected.

Did you restart apache after this? We see no reason why this shouldn't
work, and it works locally for us. (And if you don't use RT's VERP
support, it won't even leave you vulnerable.)

Can you try it again, making sure to restart apache, and verify if it
does or does not work?

WHEW. Good to know.

I don't know why, but I can't get my $RT::Logger->crit("...")
calls to spit out anything from inside Email.pm

Yes, I'm desperate here :)

I also had this problem when I upgraded from 3.8.9 to 3.8.12 yesterday.
I had to rollback the upgrade in order to get operational again.

It sounds like Best Practical has this under control now, but I'd be happy
to send any additional data to help.

Thanks,
Chris

I did restart Apache, however I remembering now that we have
quite a bit of the correspond scrips disabled (but no, this
has not just been a "Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard"
situation).

Tickling some RT email via a ticket update (owner change) does
in fact send email properly with the old Email.pm in place.

It's great to hear about these sorts of things when they happen. If
there's a next time, don't hesitate to make noise if an upgrade causes
fundamental failures like this.

Any additional data may help. If you can send along a saved copy of
your System Configuration page from RT, that would be great. If you
still have example errors from the error log, those would also be useful.
