[SOLVED] Impossible to send message: Bad file descriptor

Post by HervE »

Hello forum,

Replying to a mail in a ticket, I got the following error:
Backend ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.16.3 OS: MSWin32 Time: Tue Nov 25 18:01:18 2014 Message: Impossible to send message to: whoever@whereever.com . RemoteAddress: XX.XX.XX.XX RequestURI: /otrs/index.pl Traceback (4360): Module: Kernel::System::Ticket::Article::ArticleSend (OTRS 3.3.8 ) Line: 2083 Module: Kernel::Modules::AgentTicketCompose::Run (OTRS 3.3.8 ) Line: 784 Module: Kernel::System::Web::InterfaceAgent::Run (OTRS 3.3.8 ) Line: 871 Module: PerlEx::Precompiler::d_::otrs::otrs::bin::cgi2dbin::index_pl::__ANON__ (unknown version) Line: 41 Module: (eval) (unknown version) Line: 458 Module: PerlEx::Precompiler::Execute (unknown version) Line: 458

The logfile looks like this:
[Tue Nov 25 18:01:18 2014][Error][Kernel::System::Email::SMTP::Send][109] Can't connect to smtp.mycompany.com: Bad file descriptor!
[Tue Nov 25 18:01:18 2014][Info][Kernel::System::Email::Send] Error sending message
[Tue Nov 25 18:01:18 2014][Error][Kernel::System::Ticket::Article::ArticleSend][2083] Impossible to send message to: whoever@whereever.com .

And here is an extract of SysConfig export:
delete $Self->{'SendmailBcc'};
$Self->{'SendmailModule::Port'} = '25';
$Self->{'SendmailModule::Host'} = 'smtp.mycompany.com';
$Self->{'SendmailModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Email::SMTP';

Any idea?
I went through the web but couldn't find something that could solve the problem.

Regards,
HervE

Bad file descriptor in email is possibly attempting to mismatch plain SMTP with an SMTP server that requires encryption or authentication.
OTRS 6.0.x (private/testing/public) on Linux with MySQL database.

Thank you for your answer but this wasn't the solution.

I had a look into SMTP.pm, and noticed that $Self->{'FQDN'} was used for some reason.
We corrected the value of FQDN in SysConfig and it looks fine now.

Only one drawback: The direct URL at the end of notifications doesn't work now. So I had to add the port (8080, which is the port used for our OTRS site) just after the FQDN variable.
I.e. <OTRS_CONFIG_HttpType>://<OTRS_CONFIG_FQDN>:8080/<OTRS_CONFIG_ScriptAlias>index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=<OTRS_TICKET_TicketID>
I know this is dirty, but it works.
Is there a variable containing the port?
