Is this normal?

[tbullock]

This is the result of my zmcontrol status. mta is stopped. Is that normal?
[zimbra@webmail zcs]$ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol status

To find out which portion of the mta service isn't running run this:
su - zimbra

sh -x bin/zmmtactl status
Which script returned a non-zero value?

[tbullock]

[zimbra@webmail bin]$ sh -x zmmtactl status

+ BASE=/opt/zimbra

+ SCRIPTS='zmmtaconfigctl zmamavisdctl postfix zmsaslauthdctl'

+ case "$1" in

+ STATUS=0

+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'

+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtaconfigctl status

+ R=0

+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'

+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'

+ exit 1

Postfix didn't start.
ps auxww | grep postfix - is it really not running? If anything shows up, kill it and run "postfix start" as zimbra - see if that fixes it.
If it's not running, run postfix start and check /var/log/zimbra.log for errors. If it complains about missing certificates or other TLS errors, check the forums for info on cert creation and install.
Is sendmail running, or a different postfix process? If so, stop it (/etc/init.d/sendmail stop) and disable it (chkconfig sendmail off) and start postfix.
If there's another error, post it here and we'll figure it out.

I stopped Sendmail and mta is now starting:

Here is the result I get. I can now receive e-mails from external sources but I am wondering about the minor conflicts in the communication shown below. They are obviously not show stoppers I am now receiving e-mail successfully. Thanks for your help :) :) :):

Glad to hear it's running!
We're a bit stricter in SMTP than they're expecting - we want a fully qualified name, they tried without - and I don't think anyone supports EXPN (mailing list expansion) in this age of spam.
Our EHLO response didn't list it as supported, so I'm not sure why they tried it.

hi
i seem to have a similar problem when installing zimbra m2 on fc3. it's a new installation, i've tried it all about four times in a row, have checked my installation disk prior to installing fedora and it was all okay..
here's what i see when i try zmcontrol status:

# su - zimbra

$ zmcontrol status

ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: getDirectContext) (cause: javax.naming.CommunicationException mymail.psuter.ch:389)

then i've tried

$ sh -x bin/zmmtactl status

+ BASE=/opt/zimbra

+ SCRIPTS='zmmtaconfigctl zmamavisdctl postfix zmsaslauthdctl'

+ case "$1" in

+ STATUS=0

+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'

+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtaconfigctl status

cat: /opt/zimbra/log/zmmtaconfig.pid: No such file or directory

+ R=1

+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'

+ STATUS=1

+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'

+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmamavisdctl status

cat: /opt/zimbra/log/amavisd.pid: No such file or directory

+ R=1

+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'

+ STATUS=1

+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'

+ /opt/zimbra/bin/postfix status

+ R=1

+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'

+ STATUS=1

+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'

+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmsaslauthdctl status

cat: /opt/zimbra/cyrus-sasl-2.1.21.ZIMBRA/state/saslauthd.pid: No such file or directory

+ R=1

+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'

+ STATUS=1

+ exit 1

so obviousley i've got the problem with psotfix. so i've checkt for sendmail and procmail.. here are the results:

$ ps auxww | grep postfix

zimbra   27729  0.0  0.2  5476  656 pts/0    R+   23:57   0:00 grep postfix

$ ps auxww | grep sendmail

zimbra   27633  0.0  0.2  4264  664 pts/0    R+   23:43   0:00 grep sendmail

so obviousley none of the two are runing.. so i've tried to start postfix:

$ postfix start

/opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.3/sbin/postalias: error while loading shared libraries: libbind.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/opt/zimbra/postfix-2.2.3/sbin/postfix: error while loading shared libraries: libbind.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

maybe i should mention, that i had the problem mentioned here:

http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=775

and i've fixed it with the symbolic link ..
your help would be appreciated...

i had m1 installed on a vmware virtual host before and it worked.. now i was trying m2 no a real computer (pentium III 1gig with 3xxMB memory)
kind regards

I had the same problem. You have to run yum to update your system and that error will go away.
