Solved Exim 4.96 - can't recieve mail on catch-all after updating

[mimic]

We've updated Exim from 4.95 to 4.96 last night. Since the update catch-all mailboxes can't recieve mail anymore.

In Thunderbird:

Sending of the message failed.
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:
No such recipient here.
Please check the message recipient "[email protected]" and try again.

In Exim logs:

2022-06-29 07:30:00 H=user-hostname.com ([xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]) [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] X=TLS1.2:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:128 CV=no F=<[email protected]> A=plain:[email protected] rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Unrouteable address

Users get a reply from the server:

The response from the remote server was:

550 No such recipient here

In the users webhosting settings, catch-all is enabled, and set correctly to their mailbox.

We've reinstalled Exim, with SRS, BC. Redid the config, but the catch-all remains broken.

Edit: running Current branch on CentOS.

What to do?

Same problem here. Anybody from DirectAdmin?

Custombuild breaking on Ubuntu 22

Just so everyone is aware, custombuild is breaking on Ubuntu 22, no need to try installing it yet on version 22, stay with 20 for now. Error: root@server-1:/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild# /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build plugin...

We are on the "Current" channel. Not testing.

Cheers. Might help people on Ubuntu. We are running DA on CentOS however. Should have added that in the first post.

I am using Debian 10 and on Current. And even worse. When downgrading to 4.95 and also the exim.conf to 4.5.37 I cannot get Exim to get started.. I even restored the /etc/exim.conf from yesterdays backup, but I am getting:

Jun 29 10:20:44 waa2 systemd[1]: Started Exim Mail Transport Agent.
Jun 29 10:20:44 waa2 exim[27389]: 2022-06-29 10:20:44 Exim configuration error in line 792 of /etc/exim.conf:

Catch-all delivery has been fixed in 4.5.40, thank you for the report!

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/
./build update
./build eximconf

Superb. Works!

yep, also experiencing this problem... exim.conf updated to 4.5.39 this morning. SpamBlocker in use. Centos 7.

Interestingly, the [email protected] alias (caught by the catch-all) seems to be going to postmaster -> root -> my administrative mailbox per /etc/aliases settings, so in effect I'm getting some of the customer's email.

Doubly interesting: there appears to be a number of changes in the diff, not sure which one would be causing this issue: https://files.directadmin.com/servi...SpamBlockerTechnology-v4.5.38-to-v4.5.39.diff

./build eximconf

Thanks for the quick response! However 4.5.40 does not show up yet for me. Do I need to change the download/update servers somewhere?

 

[meliux]

lol posted too soon, updating to 4.5.40 now

Changed downloadserver to files1.directadmin.com in options.conf and got it now ;-) Thanks! Bad for my health this stuff..

I'm too old for this kind of action, that's why I always test everything on my dev servers before it goes live. But here we see another reason to deactivate autoupdates.

 

[Richard G]

I only have autoupdates for the webscripts. so that is phpmyadmin and roundcube. Everything else I do manually via commandline (./build update_versions) after I've seen that there are no issues.

I ran into a strange problem after updating to Exim 4.96.

Exim 4.95:

exiqgrep -i -> display IDs of all messages in the queue

Exim 4.96:

exiqgrep -i -> display only help message

other option like "-c -z -x" are working.

Is it a bug or I have something wrong with e.g. permissions / don't know something ?

 

[Loosie94]

Exim update is working, but at the end it says it can't move.
Anyone else has this issue?
