Have ZM installed on Ubuntu 20.04 and email was sending fine in previous version but after upgrading to 1.35.16, no email. Upgraded ssmtp to msmtp following https://bkjaya.wordpress.com/2019/10/21 ... ntu-19-04/ and am able to send mail successfully on the command line but email in ZM fails with following error:

Code: Select all

2020-12-15 11:52:48	zmdc		89373	ERR	'zmfilter.pl --filter_id=3 --daemon' exited abnormally, exit status 255	zmdc.pl
2020-12-15 11:52:48	zmfilter_3		89971	INF	Creating notification email	zmfilter.pl

The zm creates the email and then chokes on sending it. Any ideas on how to go about getting my email working again? I think it might be a problem with a perl dependency that got borked in the upgrade process but any ideas gratefully received.

The way to troubleshoot this is to test from the command line, as the web account user.

Well

Code: Select all

su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c echo "Hello, World" | mail -s "Hello, World from www-data" rick@xxx.ca

worked. Funny thing was in the earlier software version, mail was sent no problem. Any other clues I could follow?
