      Hi,
      first I have to questions. Is this the right forum to get help troubleshooting Z-Push? I could not find any user forum on z-hub.io and z-push.sourceforge.net/phpbb/ seems to be dead since 2016. I’m not sure that I’ve found a bug in version 2.6.0 and don’t want to raise a bug report on jira.z-hub.io unnecessarily. In addition, is this the right place for me to get help even if I’m not using Kopano as backend?

      I’ve managed to get Z-Push up and running some years ago on a CentOS 6 server and had no issues. So I was pretty confident getting the newest version to work on a CentOS 8 server. I was wrong.

      As mentioned, Z-Push version 2.6.0 has been installed from the RHEL7 repo on a CentOS 8 based web server with all latest updates applied. Mail services (sendmail and dovecot) are running on a separate server within the same network. The following Z-Push packages have been installed.

      • z-push-autodiscover
      • z-push-backend-imap
      • z-push-common
      • z-push-config-apache
      • z-push-config-apache-autodiscover
      • z-push-ipc-sharedmemory

      Autodiscover works as well as pulling mails from the IMAP mailbox. But sending mails fails with the following error message.

      [ERROR] [username] Net_SMTP error: Invalid response code received from server
[ERROR] [username] Mail<smtp> error: Failed to send data [SMTP:  (code: 503, response: 5.0.0 Need RCPT (recipient))]

      I’ve checked the mail flow on the mail server and indeed Z-Push sends “data” command without prior “rcpt-to” command. In addition the “mail-from” command is malformed and contains only the username without “@domain.tld”.

      I’ve gone through the configs several times with no luck and looking for help the get this solved.

        Hi @WieWaldi,

        yes, this forum the right place for Z-Push related issues.

        I’m not very familiar with the current state of the IMAP backend as it was mostly community contributed, but if I’m not completely mistaken, the IMAP backend uses other libraries to send emails.

        What is the setting of IMAP_SMTP_METHOD in the IMAP config? Is it the same as on your previous server?

        Also, did you configure IMAP_DEFAULTFROM?

        Manfred

          Hi @Manfred,

          sorry for my late respond. No, the config differs from the previous server. Current setup is a dedicated mail server (sendmail,dovecot) and a dedicated web server. Therefor I had the following setting in use.

          define('IMAP_SMTP_METHOD', 'smtp');
$imap_smtp_params = array('host' => 'ssl://mail.domain.tld', 'port' => '465', 'auth' => true, 'username' => 'imap_username', 'password' => 'imap_password');

          Since the mail server allows relaying from the web server’s IP address I tried with the following setting and had the same results.

          define('IMAP_SMTP_METHOD', 'smtp');
$imap_smtp_params = array('host' => 'mail.domain.tld', 'port' => '25', 'auth' => false');

          No, I din’t messed with IMAP_DEFAULTFROM as I didn’t on the previous server. In addition I wasn’t sure how it would behave since I’m planning to serve several domains.

          In the meantime I’ve removed the packages from the repo and deployed from git using master branch and followed the install doc step by step. Furthermore I’ve installed sendmail on the webserver and configured it to use the dedicated mail server as a smart host. A simple php script using the mail function works fine and sets from address correctly to anything I want. I’ve changed the setting of the imap backend to:

          define('IMAP_SMTP_METHOD', 'mail');
$imap_smtp_params = array();

          Using the simple php script to send a mail I see the whole communication in /var/log/maillog.

          The mail gets forwarded to the dedicated mail server with no issue. Using an iPhone with Z-Push the only thing I see in /var/log/maillog is:

          I can’t think of any setting within php.ini that I could have possibly messed up. Any hints what might cause this issue or how to troubleshoot any further are very much appreciated.

          Thanks a lot in advance.

            Hi @Manfred,

            never mind. Decision have been made to ditch this project. However, thanks for taking care.
