Summary | 0001391: When trying to send messages to more than one recipient postfix indicates that there is a syntax error | ||||
Description | I am trying to send daemon messages to more than one person using a main postfix system, the configuration is correct using director version 19.2.7: Messages { Name = Daemon Description = "Message delivery for daemon messages (no job)." mail command = "/usr/bin/bsmtp -h 172.16.22.72 -f \"\(Bareos\) \<%r\>\" -s \"Bareos daemon message\" \%r" # mail = john@example.com = all, !skipped, !audit # (0000002) mail = john@example.com, fred@example.com = all, !skipped, !audit # (0000002) console = all, !skipped, !saved, !audit append = "/var/log/bareos/bareos.log" = all, !skipped, !audit append = "/var/log/bareos/bareos-audit.log" = audit } | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Add a comma after the first name and add a second name. | ||||
Additional Information | The remote postfix system shows: postfix/smtpd: warning: Illegal address syntax from unknown[172.16.22.22] in RCPT command: <john@example.com fred@example.com> and does not send the message. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
Hello, From bsmtp man page USAGE recipients is a space separated list of email addresses. Did you already try that ? |
|
In the Bareos documentation, for the messages configuration files, it states: Type: MESSAGES Send the message to the email addresses that are given as a comma separated list in the address field. So, when I did not place a comma separating the email addresses, bconsole would display: 11-Oct 13:12 bareos-dir-22-dir: ERROR in lib/res.cc:368 Config error: expected an =, got: fred@example.com : line 12, col 72 of file /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/messages/Daemon.conf mail = john@example.com fred@example.com = all, !skipped, !audit # (0000002) 11-Oct 13:12 bareos-dir-22-dir: ERROR in lib/parse_conf_state_machine.cc:189 Config error: unexpected token 110 BCT_EQUALS in resource definition : line 12, col 74 of file /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/messages/Daemon.conf mail = john@example.com fred@example.com = all, !skipped, !audit # (0000002) 11-Oct 13:12 bareos-dir-22-dir: ERROR in lib/parse_conf.cc:260 Config error: ParseAllTokens failed. : line 12, col 74 of file /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/messages/Daemon.conf mail = john@example.com fred@example.com = all, !skipped, !audit # (0000002) 11-Oct 13:12 bareos-dir-22-dir JobId 0: Error: Please correct the configuration in /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/*/*.conf 11-Oct 13:12 bareos-dir-22-dir JobId 0: Error: Resetting to previous configuration. * I manually ran bsmtp and was able to send a test message without the comma. With the comma, I would get a syntax error: wibsmtp: tools/bsmtp.cc:130-0 Fatal malformed reply from 172.16.0.72: 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax Oct 11 13:26:17 mail4 postfix/smtpd[994956]: warning: Illegal address syntax from unknown[172.16.22.22] in RCPT command: <john@example.com,fred@example.com> Is there a program that can be used with Bareos, that accepts comma separated email addresses or does the routine in Bareos need to be modified to change the comma to a space when it is using bsmtp to send then emails out? |

Thank you for the report and additional info. I found where is located the trouble. So nor the documentation is wrong, nor the man page. But all of those tools are really nitpicky: it happen that you have a SPACE after the comma I've just tried and it work flawless if you use user1@domain.tld,user2@domain.tld Really email separated by coma. The "without any space" will be added to the documentation see PR#954 https://github.com/bareos/bareos/pull/954 |

PR#954 improve documentation by adding a without any space in comma separate list | |
I removed the space and still have the problem.

The bsmtp linux man page states that it is space separated too. |

Sorry to say that, but everything is in detail, you will have to care about them. ;-) The error message you have is about the sender address, not the recipient, and I can only agree with postfix <user1@domain.tld user2@domain.tld> is not a valid sender address ;-) Simply you have use %r in the -f flag when %r is only one address this is a valid way of doing things, when %r contain several addresses this no more true. You can perhaps use a generic hostmaster@domain.tld valid address using your example this would give something like ``` mail command = "/usr/bin/bsmtp -h 172.16.0.72 -f \"\(Bareos\) \<hostmaster@example.com\>\" -s \"Bareos: %t %e of %c %l\" \%r" ``` Hope this help to fix your issues.

Can we have feedback from this case ? Otherwise can it be closed ? | |
Fix for space published No negative return from reporter Documentation (master) state clearly %r = recipient |
