Re: Postfix communicating with IPFW

Postfix SMTP server: errors from 66-66-66-166.dynamic.some.net [66.66.66.166] What I would like to do is to generate a some.net list with all these dynamic ip addresses and provide them to my ipfw firewall in order to block them on the moment that they try to relay a 2nd time thru my server. This will cause less process time as it is quicker to send someone home by the doorkeeper (ipfw) rather than check his credentials first (Postfix) and tell him to get lost. True, but Postfix can handle these rejects just fine though YMMV depending on your load and other aspects of your setup to which we aren't privy. Is there any way to let postfix 'communicate' with my ipfw firewall? No, but you can write a script that parses your maillog and accordingly updates firewall rules.

I'd like to turn it off because the box doesn't sit inside of a fully qualified domain (it sits inside a 192.168.x/24 network), but will host web services for www.whitneybaptist.org. Obviously, requests sent to 72.24.34.252 on port 80 are forwarded to this box (actually, internally it's 192.168.2.23). Also, (for those who have endured helping me work through the issues with our mail server) until I get things worked out with DNS this new server will not be hosting e-mail for this domain (whitneybaptist.org), that's temporarily being done at google mail. So, basically, what sort of trouble am I going to get into by turning off sendmail? Also, I think I'm going to implement DNS, an internal thing, to make this box happy and then point the resolver to use the Internet DNS servers for everything else.

I have never had a problem with portmanager until today. I was trying to update amavisd-new. When I issued the upgrade command, portmanager started to update perl5.8. Everything was going fine until I realized it was looping. After the 3rd strike, I was told to look at the log. I am not able to glean much in the way of solutions, so hoping someone with a similar experience can help. I did see prior threads about the looping problem but I am still unable to update perl. What version of portmanager are you running? The last one is '0.4.1.9' I believe. It might have been nice if you had also posted any pertinent portions of the log file also. There was a looping problem in a very old version of portmanager; however, supposedly it had been corrected. Portmanager will not update itself if I remember correctly. I believe you have to do it manually.

For what it's worth, I had a perl module installed via CPAN (instead of the ports tree, because the port does not exist), about which portmanager seems to complain. The port was for Net-DNS-Async. portmanager asks me to pkg_delete and re-install. I will try that and perhaps perl will then build/update properly. -- Sahil Tandon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Installing PERL modules from CPAN (instead of ports)
In order to setup postfwd (http://postfwd.org), of which there is no FreeBSD port, several PERL modules are required; one of them, Net::DNS::Async, also does not exist as a FreeBSD port. If I install this via CPAN, postfwd works, but then this breaks portupgrade and portmanager when trying to update perl or keep track of new versions of the bsdpan-* packages. Is there another way to go about this outside of trying to create my own postfwd and Net::DNS::Async ports? -- Sahil Tandon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perl ports are usually very easy to create and maintain, so if you don't want to spend 30 minutes learning, someone with enough experience can probably do it in a couple of minutes if you ask nicely :) I did not mean to imply I was unwilling to create the port; was just curious about how to not break the existing setup when installing modules outside of the ports tree. Someone replied off-list suggesting I install to a ~/local dir and set $PERL5LIB to take that directory into account. Yes, making a new port is the easiest way to install something from CPAN. I do prefer to keep everything organized in ports, so I created my first port: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/123382 Let's hope I didn't totally mess it up. :-) -- Sahil Tandon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Which FTPs are most used by ports?
* Francisco Reyes [EMAIL PROTECTED] [05-12-2008]: I am about to install FreeBSD at a new job. They block ftp, along with most other ports. I may be able to get a whole open for the freebsd server to be able to ftp from some specific machines. Any suggestions what machines I should add to the list? You mean FTP *to* (and not from) specific machines, right? And what about HTTP? If you look in just a few Makefiles, you'll notice that MASTER_SITES vary with each port (CPAN, SF and a few others might appear often), so unless you know exactly which ports you will install, this will be tough.

Re: another problem
* John Wynstra [EMAIL PROTECTED] [05-17-2008]: The *portsnap fetch extract* seems to have failed. I do *pkg_version -v* and openoffice-2 does not appear in the listing. Why not? Because it is not installed? previous /usr/ports tree came from a tar extract I took from the internet and not the installation CDROM. Should I clean out some INDEX files and redo this step or is that done automatically? I just now did another *portsnap fetch update* and openoffice.org was not listed among the new ports. Of course *pkg_version -v* gives me an incomplete listing. It does not matter where your ports tree came from. Go to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/portsnap.html and follow the instructions to update your tree. Now what is -lgio-2.0? and why is it missing?
