err sSMTP

After working with F5 Support, SOL13180 worked for us. We are running 12.1.0 HF1.

 

Log into the F5 CLI and run the commands:

 

tmsh

 

modify /sys outbound-smtp mailhub [mail_server]:[port]

 

save /sys config

 

quit

 

Now test:

 

echo "ssmtp test mail" | mail -vs "Test email for SOL13180" [your_email_address]

 

Interestingly, this change resulted in our F5s sending non-deliverable emails to our SMTP server. We had to implement the workaround indicated in BUG ID 467589 of the 11.5.2 release notes.

 

Again, from the F5 CLI:

 

Remount the /usr partition as read-write:

 

mount -o remount -rw /usr

 

Edit the /usr/share/mysql/purge_mysql_logs.pl file and change this original line (line 27):

 

unless( $provisioned_am || $provisioned_asm || $provisioned_psm ) {

 

to this:

 

unless( ​​$provisioned_am == 1 || $provisioned_asm == 1 || $provisioned_psm == 1 ) {

 

Save the file, and remount /usr as read-only:

 

mount -o remount -r /usr
