SMTP

Hey all,

Seems simple enough but it isn't working. I have the SMTP server set in the CME to the IP of my Barracuda Spam firewall and I have allowed traffic for that IP. However, I looked in the logs of the Barracuda and no messages are hitting that box from the UC Unit. Is there an easy to fix this or to tell why the SMTP traffic isn't routing properly?

Thanks,

Jorge

Jorge,

From you explanation I assume that you mean port forwarding? If so, did you do this with CCA or CLI? POrt forwarding in IOS is essentially a static NAT rule plus allowing that traffic through the applicble ACL's. What do you have?

Marcos

Marcos,

Sorry, my explanation was a bit misleading. This is in regards to the voicemail to email functionality. I have enabled email notification through the CME and I set the External SMTP server to my Barracuda. However, when a user receives a voicemail it isn't being transferred into their email. They don't want to use the IMAP configuration.

Thanks,

Jorge

Have you followed all the steps described here:

Thanks,

Yup, everything is set up, SMTP server and authentication is configured. The users are enabled and configured to allow all messages to be delivered any time they are received. But no messages are being sent into exchange.

Log into CUE and do a "trace smtpclient all", then a "show trace buffer". That should give us some hints on what's going on.  To disable tracing do "no trace all".

Thanks,


Marcos

OK, I attach the output.

Thanks,

Jorge

There is unnecessary output here. Can you do a "no trace all", then a "clear trace buffer", then enable the SMTP traces and collect the output again?

Make sure you wait long enough for the system to try to send the email.

Thanks,

Marcos

OK, So I cleared the buffer, re-enabled the SMTP logging, called in and left two seperate voicemail messages and this is all that was spit out:

4158 07/09 22:18:37.386 ACCN STGN 0 Task: 23000049973GetListMember: output string:outcall

4159 07/09 22:23:06.041 ACCN STGN 0 Task: 23000049976GetListMember: output string:outcall

Hmm. We should at least see CUE trying to establish the TCP session.


Try to disable and re-enable notifications. If that doesn't work, reload the CUE module.


Finally, try to telnet to the SMTP server (port 25) from the UC500 and issue a "HELO" to verify you have connectivity.

You can verify proper configuration with "show voicemail notification owner XXX email"

Let us know,

Marcos

OK, I did everything but the reload and the info looks the same. I'll have to wait until after 3PM to run the reload since they are open until then. I'll repost results after that, however, just for informational purposes her is the buffer and email config dump:

OK, I reloaded CUE and got the same result from the logs.

Jorge,


Did you try to Telnet to the SMTP port on your server? What happens when you do that? This will work if you are not using encryption.

Thanks,


Marcos

Yes, I was able to telnet to port 25 and run a helo command from the UC to the Mail server.

Thanks,

Jorge

OK. Jorge, I am afraid that you will need to open a TAC case so they can investigate further.


Thanks a lot,

Marcos
