I am using a Firewall-1 NG on linux redhat 7.2 with
kernel 2.4.9-13.
I have some problems with the SMTP security server:
sometimes mails get stuck in the queue and neither recipient nor sender are
informed of that. I am trying to debug the problem but the SMTP security server
has changed and no doc is available
Here are my questions
. the /etc/fw/spool directory now contains
subdirectories as D_resend, .... What are these directories? I find my stucked
mails in the D_resend directory but not in the spool. I tried moving the files
to the spool and it seems that some mails went through.
. the fw mdq command does not exist anymore. How
can I start the delivery again? What directory is it using?
. the file controling the dequeing agent is
smtp.conf in /etc/fw/conf. I tried to modify settings directly in it but they
are overwritten at policy install.
I find out that it is possible to modify some with
the gui in the properties of the Firewall module. But not all of them are
available in the gui.
I tried then a dbedit but this failed since it can
not find the "smtp" item in the objet:
(assume fw is my object, and the propertie i want
to modify is smtp_detailed_err_msg)
dbedit network_objetcs fw
smtp:smtp_detailed_err_msg true
When you "vi" the object*5*.C, you can see it !
Where is my mistake?
