News and Announcements / Re: Usage of eBox Platform

« on: August 24, 2009, 08:29:26 pm »

I was taken back by eBox when I first came across it, such a good idea and a lot of effort spent into making it look smart.
The install was straight forward and the setup relatively easy. But as soon as I moved the setup from a test to production the small problems started to surface and it would have taken too much time to troubleshoot all of them at the risk of losing a client.

My primary use for eBox was as a mail server with spam/virus filtering so I was not making use of most of the modules, I had them disabled but just couldn't get a smooth email server with authentication and filtering to play nicely. Eventually I reverted back to my trusty Exim/Dovecot setup which was far simpler to manage/troubleshoot.

It's great having a pretty/functioning front-end like eBox but when something doesn't work properly we have to wait for a fix or hack the back-end which leaves eBox confused because the file was tampered without eBox having knowledge of it so you lose track of how your installation was configured and it all gets a bit messy there.

I am really grateful though for eBox and the people who take time out of their day to develop such dynamic software, so this is in no way a flame, just an honest opinion that will hopefully contribute to making eBox a better product in the future.

Doest anybody know what it is and how it can be resolved? My guess is that it is related to the Queue Management problem i have where i cannot view my mail queue and this is maybe info that needs to be written there, or maybe its trying to write info the the logfile?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Installation and Upgrades / Users of local Virtual Domain are being BLOCKED/SPAM

« on: April 23, 2009, 04:45:16 pm »

I have a strange problem here. I only have 1 virtual domain setup, let's call it "domain.com".
For testing purposes when setting up users email i would normally send a test message from their email to myself.
I have mail filtering turned on for this domain.

So i send an email from  admin@domain.com to kingmilo@domain.com and the sender (admin@domain.com) gets BLOCKED, the message is seen as SPAM. I know this because i check the SMTP_FILTERING log files. If i use the same sender (admin@domain.com) sends an email to an external email address for example kingmilo@anotherdomain.com the email is delivered fine.

I must note that i did not only experience this with admin@domain.com but with 4 out of 5 of my email address's i setup. My temporary solution was to add the senders (all of my emails on my virtual domain) to the SPAM whitelist which then allows the local message to be delivered. At one point even this did not resolve the matter and i had to delete and re-create the user, add to whitelist and then i was able to send.

It seems strange that local users are blocked when sending message over the virtual domain, surely the mail filtering should be smart enough to know this, or could this be a bug? Should i disable outgoing mail filtering?

I look forward to any suggestions.

Thanks!

Installation and Upgrades / Queue Management Bug - "An internal error related to a template has occurred"

« on: April 23, 2009, 04:36:39 pm »

When i try and check for mails in the queue i get the following error;
An internal error related to a template has occurred. This is a bug, relevant information can be found in the logs.

If i tail -f the /var/log/ebox/ebox.log file this is the output when trying to access queue management;
2009/04/23 16:34:10 ERROR> Base.pm:343 EBox::CGI::Base::__ANON__ - Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at (eval 539) line 98.

Stack:

I am experiencing he same problem as the post below, however the solution does not work for me;

Please let me know if you need me to post more info about my setup.

Thanks!
