Mails not delivered

Alberto Tormo

New Pleskian
Hi.
Since we updated Plesk 10.2 with 10.2.0 MU #5 on 26 May our server no sends mail throught php scripts, webmail or ssh mail command.

The server runs CentOs 5.5 x64 and plesk 10.2.0. and I updatedvia plesk panel.

After that update, mail sended from webmail, php scripts or from ssh are stucked somewhere and are not being delivered.
If I send mails with smtp all works fine.

After a lot of test, if I change the MTA to Postfix all those tests that I made was delivered.
I change again to Qmail and the mails are stucked again.

I can't find any reference to the test in /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog to address the problem.

Any help is very apreciated.
 
Solved.

Using Qmail, the symbolic links was wrong (acording to this KB)
# ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 2 17:54 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta
# ls -l /etc/alternatives/mta
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jun 5 15:20 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix (<- Here has to be /var/qmail/bin/sendmail).

So this did the trick:
# ln -s -f /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /etc/alternatives/mta

Now mail is delivered as expected.
