SMTP not working on 2.1.0.0.009

stuart.edge · 2023-11-14 10:20:38

Config
1;192.168.122.100:25;xsibackup.app@olcs.com.au;xsibackup.app;xsibackup.app;none;none;0

Even thought the result is OK, postifix is dropping the connection.
Relay is enable from the IP address.
Why does it send "EHLO 33hops.com" and "STARTTLS" ?

In the ©XSIBackup-App appliance we are using Swaks as an SMTP client by now, which requires authentication.

This will change in next version 1.1.0.1, the new default SMTP client will be cURL in sake of compatibility and to limit space usage, as Swaks depends on Perl and in the end requires more than 45 MB for just an e-mail client.

©XSIBackup-App 1.1.0.1 will also allow to select the classic ©XSIBackup sendmail module, which has been ported to Linux, via the --smtp-client=sendmail argument. Sendmail module uses STARTTLS (port 587) while cURL method (default) uses a direct TLS/SSL connection on port 465.

All these changes are transparent to the user 99% of the times, except in cases like yours in which you are using an open relay and Swaks does not support that configuration.

When will we have version 1.1.0.1 ?

admin · 2023-11-16 12:10:53

It's already ready to download:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xsibackup-app/files/

stuart.edge · 2023-11-20 23:54:51

I have updated and it is still not working.

admin · 2023-11-23 16:34:04

We are now revising the SMTP client to make it easier to configure. In 1.1.0.1 you can use --smtp-client=sendmail argument to use the classic SMTP client.

The template in the XSIBackup-App was empty.
/home/root/.xsi/var/html/000.html
I copied one from another server.
Now it works OK.
Please make sure this file is included in the XSIBackup-App image

One more thing, the subject is set with:
--subject="Backup of VMs VMware11"

However, a pipe "|" symbol is being appended to the subject when I receive the email.
Backup of VMs VMware11 |

In your case you could probably sort your problems with your SMTP server by increasing the last field in the SMTP server entry from 0 to 1. This will set a sleep time between commands that many SMTP servers require to prevent SPAM.

stuart.edge · 2023-11-26 21:16:31

SMTP is working OK.
The remaining issue is the pipe "|" at the end of the subject.
Input = --subject="Backup of VMs VMware11"
Output = Backup of VMs VMware11 |

admin · 2023-11-27 16:58:40

Can you share what you did to sort your issue?.

stuart.edge · 2023-11-27 23:05:13

email is working with --mail-to="stuart.edge@olcs.com.au" --subject="Backup of VMs VMware11" --smtp-client=sendmail
However, I still get the | appended to the subject
Backup of VMs VMware11 |
