When emails bounce back and you're experiencing issues with CageFS and proxyexecd, it may be due to a conflict in configurations. Here are steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
-
Check CageFS Configuration:
Make sure that CageFS is properly configured on your server. Verify that it's not causing any conflicts with the mail server.
-
Review Proxyexecd Configuration:
Check the configuration of proxyexecd. This is a service that executes processes on behalf of users. Ensure that it's set up correctly and doesn't conflict with mail delivery.
-
Verify Exim or Postfix Configuration:
Ensure that your mail server (Exim or Postfix) is configured to work with CageFS. It's possible that the mail server may be trying to execute a process in a way that CageFS doesn't allow.
-
Check CageFS Mount Points:
Verify that the necessary directories for mail processing are mounted in CageFS. This includes
/var/spool/exim
or/var/spool/postfix
directories. -
Check User Permissions:
Make sure that the users sending emails have the appropriate permissions to access and use the mail server. This includes permissions within CageFS.
-
Review Exim/Postfix Logs:
Check the logs of your mail server (Exim or Postfix) for any error messages or warnings that may provide more insight into why emails are bouncing back.
-
Check for Specific Error Messages:
Look for specific error messages in the bounce-back emails. These messages can often provide clues as to why the emails are failing to be delivered.
-
Verify DNS Settings:
Ensure that your server's DNS settings are correctly configured. Incorrect DNS settings can lead to email delivery issues.
-
Check for Resource Limitations:
If you're using CloudLinux or a similar system, verify that the users sending emails aren't hitting any resource limits imposed by CageFS.
-
Disable CageFS (Temporary):
As a temporary measure for testing, you can try disabling CageFS to see if it resolves the email bouncing issue. This can help determine if CageFS is indeed the cause.
-
Contact CloudLinux Support:
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider reaching out to CloudLinux support for further assistance. They may have specific recommendations or solutions for CageFS-related mail issues.
Remember to proceed with caution and always have backups available before making significant modifications to your server configuration.
