Squirrelmail webmail not sending

[Bruce]

Same thing here.
When I do a Cpanel Upgrade on one server, I have the same problem.
This only breaks one of my four servers.

Let hope they have a fix soon as my support desk is looking like this thread, lots of comments.

I'd recommend anyone that is still experiencing this issue to please submit a support ticket to us.

When we flush the firewall then the error is gone, but the firewall rules are still the same as months ago ?

In the end of september Squirrelmail and Horde stopped sending email with error:
Server replied: 535 Incorrect authentication data

I've changed $useSendmail to true in config, after that I was able to send mail. But it seems like cpanel update is reseting this config every day. So this is not a solution.

Nothing has been changed on server. Update config is: Automatic (STABLE tree)

The box is:
WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.15.0-C17481
CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0

The weird thing is that the other box works fine with the same software and update options.

I flushed the iptables on all of my servers and it didn't resolve the issue - reading the README files for squirrelmail which is what cpanel told me to do if flushing the iptables didn't work, didn't do anything to resolve the issue either. Feel like I am pretty much stuck with manually going across all of my servers every day and editing the config.

While searching the forums for another issue today, I ran across this thread: http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread....g%2Fconfig.php

I've just finished doing this, so we'll see what happens after maintenance runs tonight.

today I updated cpanel, and SQM config is again on usesendmail = false and sending is not possible (if I change this to true then it works) but is it neccessary to do this all the time?

[SageBrian]

Would this help?
Adding to /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config_local.php

$useSendmail = true;

I haven't tried it yet. I just manually edited my config.php again.
But, it looks like I can put my specific changes into config_local.php, and when cpanel updates it would use my local settings?

I'll see next time I update.

Is there a permanent solution to this other than modifying Squirrelmail config which is got overwrite every night..

[paulm]

Is there a reason a solution to this has not been posted yet? I mean would it not save cPanel time to just post what will resolve this issue? Opening tickets for 4 servers is a PITB when they could simply post what they are doing to fix it.

Contact your hosting provider regarding this issue as they would have that information. You can determine who your hosting provider is by visiting:

cPanel is a software company, we do not provide any web hosting services.

I created Cpanel Support Request to find a fix for the squirrelmail problem. Create or append the script "/scripts/postupcp" and add the following line:

#!/bin/bash

perl -pi -e 's/(useSendmail.*?= )false/$1true/g' usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/config/config.php


Make sure that your squirrelmail config.php file has the same path as above, if not. change the path to your configuration path. The script changes the useSendmail from false to true when postupcp runs after upcp.

do we need to chmod 755 /scripts/postupcp ?

Same here

this issue begin when i update my php from 5.1.6 to any other php version in my servers running centos 5.

php can´t connect in local smtp server, probably some error of compilation in cpanel script.

"SMTP tweak" not enabled in my servers, if i return php to 5.1.6 all works again.!
