Problem sending email from bugzilla

[Mark Eyman]

I have bugzilla 4.2.5 running on Ubuntu using postfix. Email from bugzilla is sent from bugzill...@myhost.mydomain.com. (The real name is altered). The email is sent through Exchange server. Up until recently everything worked perfectly. A few days back mail stopped being delivered. Mailq on bugzilla shows "(host exchange.mydomain.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] said: 452 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources (in reply to MAIL FROM command))".

Restart of the Transport service and even rebooting exchange didn't help. Mailq -q, postfix -f didn't help. I did figured out, however, that when mail gets to exchange as bugzill...@mydomain.com it is accepted.

Can somebody suggest what needs to be done either on bugzilla or on exchange in order to fix it?

And I did check with IT. There were no intentional changes on exchange.

Thanks,
-Mark

Does this mean that "myhost" is part of the problem because without it
mails get accepted or did you just forget to add "myhost" this time
and mails are always accepted? In the first case you IT should have a
look for some host specific rules.

From what I've found on Google this error is clearly something that
need to be solved in your Exchange.

You could try to configure SMTP in Bugzilla and see what happens.

Please always answer to the list, others may have helpful
information, too.

Simply have a look at Administration/Parameters/Email at the
smtp-options, shoudl be self explaining. There's a mailfrom, too,
where you could try to configure a complete mail address without a
host part and see if postfix passes this one through. Default is to
set bugzilla-deamon and let "whoever" add the domain part, I think, in
your case with the host.

Hence I failed to send my previous response to the list, I'll put a short summary in this one.

This test was conducted via telnet (see http://jeremy-zimmermann.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-test-smtp-server-using-telnet.html). Result of this test makes me to believe that one way of fixing the problem is to configure bugzilla to send email as bugzill...@mydomain.com instead of current bugzill...@myhost.mydomain.com

Changed the mailfrom parameter from bugzilla-daemon to bugzill...@mydomain.com. Now Exchange excepts mail.
Will see if it will be possible to change Exchange settings to accept mail from default bugzill...@myhost.mydomain.com.

Best regards,

My bugzilla v4.2.5 installed at CentOS 6.4 32bit, using exchange as my mail
server to send email out.
But I configured to use SMTP instead.

You may try if the following help you to resolve your problem or not:

1. You can check if the jobqueue is running or not, if no, then email will
note sending out.
/etc/init.d/bugzilla-queue status

Usage: service bugzilla-queue
{start|stop|status|restart|condrestart}

2. All the outgoing mail stored at 'bugs' DB > 'ts_job' table, if all mails
sent out successfully, this table should be empty. You may need to clean up
the table if somehow all the previous email has problem and it will be stuck
at this table.

3. You many need to restart bugzilla-queue whenever you have changed the
email settings.
