Hello, list,
I have a problem with Sendmail configuration.
I'm building (on CentOS 5) a "dual-MTA" setup with amavisd-new (as specified in amavisd-new documentation, file README.sendmail-dual).
So far so good. But when I tried to add server SMTP-AUTH and TLS, I get a strange, permission-related error, and STARTTLS will not start.
In my .mc conf, the Sendmail user is now the usual - mail:mail define(`confDEF_USER_ID', ``8:12'')dnl ...though when I have cleared this problem, I'm going to add a definition for a non-privileged Sendmail user like this (for the receiving Sendmail daemon): define(`confRUN_AS_USER', `smmsp:smmsp')dnl
Ok, when I try to start Sendmail, I get this in the maillog:
Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-tx[12782]: starting daemon (8.13.8): SMTP+queueing@00:01:00 Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-rx[12785]: starting daemon (8.13.8): SMTP+persistent-queueing@00:00:01 Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-rx[12785]: STARTTLS=server: file /etc/mail/certs/sendmail.pem unsafe: Permission denied
This is strange, because the permissions should be ok - right?
[root@mail ~]# ls -ld / /etc /etc/mail /etc/mail/certs drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Mar 29 2007 / drwxr-xr-x 96 root root 12288 Aug 12 04:02 /etc drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 11 15:44 /etc/mail dr-xr-xr-x 2 mail mail 4096 Aug 11 14:42 /etc/mail/certs
[root@mail ~]# ls -l /etc/mail/certs -rw------- 1 mail mail 1371 Aug 11 12:15 cacert.pem -rw------- 1 mail mail 963 Aug 11 12:15 cakey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1952422 Aug 11 14:26 revoke.crl -rw------- 1 mail mail 2258 Aug 11 12:16 sendmail.pem
Any ideas, what I should check next?
This might be a Sendmail bug - it resembles this Debian bug, which also gives a "unsafe - no permission" error as a symptom.
