Are you able to send mails to external accounts with other applications (not OTRS) from this machine?
So I thought it was something to do with # SendmailModule in /opt/otrs/Kernel config.pm file which previously I set as
$Self->{'SendmailModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Email::SMTP'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::Host'} = 'mail.example.com'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::Port'} = '25'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::AuthUser'} = ''; $Self->{'SendmailModule::AuthPassword'} = '';
Yes, that are the right options to use a mailserver for the messages that send via OTRS.
Then I modify it to
$Self->{'SendmailModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Email::SMTP'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::Host'} = 'mail.example.com'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::Port'} = '25'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::AuthUser'} = 'techsupport'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::AuthPassword'} = 'acaroot';
This settings are looking good, if you have a account on your exchange server and need authentification to send mails and your mailserver is reachable via mail.example.com (which is not likely ;)).
Then the error had change to be as below instead
Traceback: ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.8.6 OS: linux Time: Wed Aug 3 16:18:20 2005

OK, no authentification is needed. Change the settings above to $Self->{'SendmailModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Email::SMTP'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::Host'} = 'the.real.name.of.your.mailserver'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::Port'} = '25'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::AuthUser'} = 'techsupport'; $Self->{'SendmailModule::AuthPassword'} = 'acaroot'; You could also try to use the ipaddress of your mailserver, if the name does not resolve.
Moreover how to Enable debug?
Open the file $otrshome/Kernel/System/Email.pm and set $Self->{Debug} = $Param{Debug} || 0; to $Self->{Debug} = $Param{Debug} || 1; Save the file, restart the webserver (because of mod_perl) and try to send another mail.
