Sounds good, let me know what you find

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

I have now added additional debug information which tells us when a recipient is added and what exactly is sent to the server (even if it does not echo it). Please install and run the new version.

I then need a *complete* debug log, because vital information is contained in the head of the log.

Hi Rainer,

I just E-mailed to you my debug log. I let it run for a bit and tested out some E-mail and logs. Is there anything else you wanted me to do? Let me know. I have just sent the debug log to your G-mail account. Thanks!

Thanks, I just checked the log. As it turns out, the ommail.so is NOT the version that was included in today's tarball. So I suspect the root problem is one of make install.

Could you please do a make clean and then a make install AND send (or post) the make log (stdout of make, so make install > log). I hope we'll see where it places it.

Thanks,
Rainer

PS: small side-note: if you mail files, I'd appreciate if you could attach them and not paste them into the message text. It is much easier to review an attached file with a good editor {like vi, of course }.

Thanks for the response. I will do this ASAP after I get back from a meeting this afternoon.

- I will make sure to just send the log next time, I agree that will be easier

Sent you the log to your Gmail account, sorry for delay.

As far as I can see, ommail is not compiled. Did you enable it? If so, please post output of your configure command as well as a copy of your config.h.

Also, do a rm -f /usr/local/lib/rsyslog/ommail.so

and then a new make install and try to run rsyslogd. I guess it won't find the module any longer...

Thanks,
Rainer

It had to have been, I was still getting mail to my one address. I removed the ommail.so using that command and did a fresh install using the following steps.

Is "make uninstall" the proper way to remove rsyslog? I have no idea...

./configure --enable-ommail
make
make install

Now E-mail is not working at all , I tried uninstalling and reinstalling other versions and still could not get E-mail working. I did notice there was no ommail.so, only a ommail.la in /usr/local/lib/rsyslog directory.

Why does it say Mail support not enabled when I configured it to?

Anyone have any suggestions for getting ommail back up and working? How do I go about checking if it is running properly? Thanks.

I was on the road. I just checked ./configure --help. To enable mail functionality, use --enable-mail (not --enable-ommail).

Rsyslog reports error messages as syslogd.err - so you should see them in your logs. Anyhow, the issue is that ommail was not generated, this was also why you used the old version (it was never overwritten).

Got it working Rainer, works great. Tested it with 5 different E-mail addresses and they all received the alerts instantly. Nice job!

I am glad it works now. Some time I must find out how I make ./configure complain about invalid options, that is ones given that it does not know...
