[IMail Forum] OT: Len Conrad?
Off topic, but Len has posted here and people know him. Many months ago I hired Len Conrad to install a new version of his IMGate software. He said he was suffering from some health issues and asked if I could pay him the $600 up front. Since he had done a good job before, I agreed. He never completed the work and has not responded to email for months. Does anyone know if he's alright?

RE: [IMail Forum] OT: Bombarded by bad DNS queries
SimpleDNS allows recursion for IP address ranges (your subnets) and specific IP addresses (your friend's static IP). It also allows several responses to recursion requests from non-authorized hosts, including responding with a refused error message, not responding at all (Len's suggestion and my setting), or responding with a specific A or MX record (porn - disney.com suggestion). I've used SimpleDNS for years and can definitely recommend it.

I have read of individual companies having the same problem using Exchange but cannot verify their email configurations to tell why. Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mail. We cannot systematically exempt your mailings from our SpamGuard technology since the IP address of the server appears to be a shared domain mail host and have multiple clients sending email. We will maintain the current information in our database as it is configured. This allows delivery of your mailings to oscillate between the Inbox and the Bulk Mail folder as Yahoo! users choose. Please keep in mind that our SpamGuard technology will continually monitor user feedback pertaining to emails coming from your mail server(s), and as such, the user feedback we receive will be one of the factors that influence where your emails are most appropriately delivered. Our studies have indicated that when users see messages incorrectly categorized, they notify us within hours of delivery. We do recommend that if you maintain several clients or company lists (especially for an ISP/ASP/ESP) to segregate your clients to different IP addresses. This ensures that users are marking each company on its own merits. User notifications to us may become hazy should they see both spam and legitimate mail from the same IP. In cases like these, the end result will likely be that spam will override the legitimate mail. If you implement significant changes to your mailing practices, feel free to contact us again.

I'm hoping that having my IMGate servers as the published MX servers instead of my iMail server reduces the exposure to this attack.

Perhaps blocking port 25 at the outside firewall and using only the alternate port 587 would help. Does anyone know if the current scans are hitting only port 25?

RE: [IMail Forum] I got rid of free email spammers
I offer free email to visitors to a diabetes support site I run. The intent is for kids to get a spam protected address, since I am brutal in blocking mail to that domain. Within a week of launching it several years ago, fraudsters found it and signed up for accounts and began spamming. I changed the sign up process and I manually review every single request for an account, looking at source IP, email address to which account information is sent, and phone number of the requestor. I still get several attmepts per week from spammers to obtain accounts and they are blatant about it, filling in Spammer and stuff like that in the name field. Had I to do it over again, I would not offer free email. It's nothing but a headache. And remember, people lie all the time about where they live.

I _HIGHLY_ recommend IMGate. I have two IMGate servers running front end for my iMail server. The IMGate boxes block all dictionary attacks, stop attachment viruses, check RBLs, and pre-filter for common crap. The boxes are basically desktop-class machines running Linux (hence two -- redundancy). http://imgate.meiway.com/ I don't know much about setting up postfix, so I hired Len Conrad to set everything up.

As I just pointed out to someone else, we don't expect IMail to compete with stand-alone products. It would just be nice to see some improvements since V4 (which is when I started). The one feature most lack is to make it easier to manage a list. Most often, our lists are not changed by subscribe/unsubscribe emails, but we someone (say in a club) who manages the entire list. It would be good for someone to be able to pull an entire list up, edit the list, then update the listserver. Or to upload an entire list at once. What we've had for a while is a hack I put together some while back. The list manager browses to a list server manager page on a web server (which is not the mail server, since we can't run IIS concurrently with IMail on the older versions of IMail). On this web page, you enter the domain name, the list name, and a password. At the click of a button, it will download the current list into a text box. You can edit the text in the box, including just replacing it with text you copied from another document (such as Word or Excel), and then there is an update button that pushes the data back to the mail server. The web page actually has the option to display the list in either a single box (name and email combined) or in two boxes (name and email separated). Behind the scenes, the web page uses MS SMTP and ASP to send a message to the list server to either get or set the list. On the mail server, there are program aliases for custom programs that I wrote in VB that update or retrieve the list files directly. It's all a hack, but it works mostly. The only problem is that at the web server, it has to wait on the mail server sending get or set commands, and that can be a long wait (and sometimes it times out and nothing happens). So give me an easy web-based, password protected tool to access and update the entire list at once.

It works very similarly to IMail in that it builds a separate summary file that the interface uses to navigate through the mailbox file. It is invaluable for doing spam review since it will show the full source of the E-mail in unedited text format by just simply pressing Ctrl+U. When you forward as an attachment, it also doesn't strip the original headers. Personally, I strongly recommend Firefox and Thunderbird for corporate users where Exchange or some other integrated solution isn't used. While there certainly can be security flaws, they are not actively targeted. It is of course free to boot. The browser is currently better as well (tabbed navigation rocks), and there are many free add-ons for both skinning and enhanced functionality. It is extremely rare for spyware to attempt to install from a website, and I'm not sure if any would actually do anything when using Firefox as the browser. As far as compatibility goes, outside of known proprietary functionality of other client/server setups, Thunderbird doesn't have any issues that I am aware of. Firefox sometimes runs into sites with old code that say they don't support the browser, but in reality, you can mostly code JavaScript exactly the same way for both IE and Firefox, so it is really the fault of the detection mechanism and not compatibility. I rarely come across a site that isn't supporting Firefox any more. They have better standard compliance than any other browser currently. You can also easily move E-mail and bookmarks between apps. The E-mail client doesn't mind having the mailbox files stored on a file server either, so it is easy to back it up globally for all users. It is also profile-aware, so I would imagine that this works just fine with roaming profiles and syncing. Firefox will import Internet Explorer settings such as bookmarks, cookies, saved passwords and other things. Thunderbird will import the address books, E-mail and settings from Outlook and Outlook Express. I have always used Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird as my primary browser and only E-mail client going back to 1996. I have never been infected with a virus or spyware, and much of this has to do with using this platform. Corporations without Exchange can save big on support costs in cleaning up such things, and improve security by making the switch.

We switched to qmail with maildir last month, and the performance and lack of locking issues on the server side are simply astounding And not stuffing all the messages in one fat file is a great benefit. It would be great if there were a mail client that does the same thing... No more repair your file crap... Loss of messages and/or data is simply reduced to hard drive failure or virus infection, and your mail reader capacity would essentially be the free space limits of the storage drive (and perhaps performance if storing a lot of files in one directory, on Windows boxes). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Barnes Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 7:22 AM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Know Outlook Limitations and recovery tools (WAS RE: [IMail Forum] Imail mail box size limit) While this message is slightly off topic for this list, I think it might contain important information for many of the lesser experienced users on this list.

RE: [IMail Forum] outbound rules gone from 2006?
I concur on the specific issue of forwarding to AOL users, which has resulted in more than one occasion where my regular outbound email to AOL has been blocked due to forwarding spam. My new policy is no forwards to AOL, period. I don't have that many users, so I can deal with it. If I find a forward (in a bounce from AOL), I remove it.

[IMail Forum] Emergency ... SMTP refuses connections after migration
I just completed migrating a bunch of domains from one iMail server to a new one and the new server's SMTP server is refusing all incoming connections on all IPs bound to the server. Sending via web mail works fine. During migration of domains, the IP was removed from the old server, verified unpingable, ARP cache on the gateway router cleared, IP added to the new server, verified pingable. The new server has several IPs assigned, including 216.68.227.3, .20, and .71 (was the old). SMTP is configured to listen on all IPs. Local IPs are specifically white list in the relay for addresses options in the SMTP Security tab. Each IP of interest is included in a group (216.68.227.0|255.255.255.0) and individually. Yet all attempts by local servers to connect yield these errors: 20051105 080631 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (ae5701490001) Denied access from 216.68.227.251 20051105 080644 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (ae6401490002) Denied access from 216.68.227.8 20051105 080652 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (ae6c0149000e) Denied access from 216.68.227.9 20051105 080805 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (aeb501490010) Denied access from 216.68.227.7 Since I'm dead in the water, I'm looking for suggestions.

IMail web messaging has been in beta for the past 2 months and we've received lots of excellent feedback that has been incorporated into the final release, coming in approximately one month. I'm not trying to discredit the merits of the MailBee WebMail Pro solution but the upcoming IMail Web Messaging will include lots of features (Inbox-Drafts-Sent and Deleted folders, composer with rich text editor, multipart mime support, rules, contacts, synchronized contacts with workgroupshare, preferences...) all of which are included in our base product which, back by popular demand, will be the IMail standalone server. Starting in approximately one month, IMail Server (straight-up, no Antivirus, no Antispam, just straight IMail) will be offered at 5 user levels, to match the same ones used today for ICS Standard and ICS Premium. The base IMail product will also include the new unified Web Administration interface which has also gone through exhaustive beta and usability testing.

They're working on an official browser compatibility list, so I don't know about Mac compatibility, but I did find that the HTML editing did not work in Netscape 8 in IE mode and Opera. In those cases, the user doesn't know, they just have a text editing control. Expanded browser compatibility and calendaring will be added in the upcoming release (free to those who already purchased). We liked the interface, and the fact that there was no account setup necessary... just provide a login and password to the mail server and it creates the account automatically. Mail is cached locally in the database as well, so that could be a useful feature for those who use webmail and a mail client interchangeably. Alex at Afterlogic (the company that makes it) was also very helpful and responsive in fixing a bug we found, and freely adds to his suggested feature list... so support seems good.

RE: Re[2]: [IMail Forum] control access list
I use IMGate instead of iMail's IP filters. Just did a quick check and found that my IP-based filter file has 13,222 lines in it -- almost all for rejecting email, just a few for white listing a specific IP. I also host email for a company based in the US that has offices in China, Taiwan, Australia, Italy, and Germany. They love the filters and while there is an occasional problem, it's always with a new account in China that has chosen to use a prolific spam host as their ISP. They are directed to choose another provider, which they do, and that's that. The bottom line is that much of the IP space has no business sending email, and blocking can be a valid decision in the face of the staggering amount of garbage being sent -- to say nothing of the growing increase in criminal fraud (e.g., phishing).

For serving the general public or most businesses, this would be an absurd or even suicidal list to use.

There are many, many small and/or regional businesses within the US for whom it is not at all absurd to block mail from certain country-based IP ranges. I won't even try to give you examples from my own experience -- there are too many to even begin. And don't expect to do ANY business. . . Come on. Any business, or business consultant, who chooses to use this class of tactics will first take note of the current and prospective geographic borders of the company. Newsflash: not everyone cares about your emerging markets. It's pretty clear that you've never worked for an intrastate careers site, a local real estate company, etc. In all, the only vertical that could _never_ use such DNSBLs for single-test rejection is an ISP, due to the naturally wild nature of their subscribers' correspondents. (Even in that sector, there are regions of the US in which wholesale blocking by country would likely be embraced by the overwhelming majority of subscribers, but that touches on cultural issues and is difficult to imagine declared in a EULA.) You'd evidently be very surprised at the tests that are used to great success by large and growing businesses and their advisors.

[IMail Forum] Sender Address Verfication - How Many Use?
I had an interesting email discussion today with a guy who runs a mailing list and sends email with an invalid sender ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I'm using IMGate as a front end and rely on sender address verification as one way to reject spam. Anyway, I emailed the guy and suggested that he use a valid email address as the sender. He wrote back telling to gray list and use Spam Assassin, or to white list his sender. I thanked him for writing but told him that I would not white list any sender and that, while he was free to send email with an invalid sender, I was free to refuse to accept email from such senders. He wrote back telling me that what I was doing was unheard of. So, I'm writing to the list to ask first how many use sender address verification in their anti-spam process, and whether it is reasonable for a company to send email using sender addresses that they refuse to acknowledge as valid. Personally, I think this is similar to me mailing a letter to someone with No Valid Name / No Valid Address / Don't Write Back / I Won't Get It in the upper left as the return address. If I got a letter like that, I'd throw it right in the trash.

RE: [IMail Forum] listed on black lists again !!
I had this happen to me in December 2003 -- a Nigerian fraud spammer signed up for three accounts. I terminated the accounts and adjusted the sign up process so that all requests for free accounts are reviewed by a person (namely me). I Google phone number, name, address and other information to try to verify the identity of the person requesting the account. I also deny out of hand all requests from Nigeria (duh!). Since then, there have been several requests for accounts from obvious criminals but not one has been approved. This process clearly adds to work to the service, but for me the service (providing spam-protected email to my select group) is worth the effort.

Needless to say, the car wasn't purchased.

Seems hard to believe that iMail is advertised as unlimited and can't handle more than 55 connections. 55 is sufficient for a large volume of legit msgs, but the 55 is not available for legit traffic.

By using a separate box as defensive MX, you will reduce dramatically the number of IMail SMTP connections wasted on spam, allowing more sessions for legit SMTP AUTH sessions.

Unfortunately, since AOL does not reveal the destination email address, you need to either investigate the logs to determine who was sent the email, or use a tool to add a custom header to the email so that you can identify the user afterwards. In our case we use Declude Junkmail to add the intended recipient's email address to the headers. That way we can ask them not to report email we forward for them as spam. If we continue to get reports generated from them, we terminate their AOL forwarding and have them pick up mail directly from our mail servers. Of course, you could just not allow forwarding to AOL at all and avoid the issue entirely.

We have some customers who want all the mail for their address forwarded to an AOL account; no problem, we've setup an alias. Now, we have limited control of what goes through that alias.

When enough complaints occur, we get black-listed, which prevents all mail from us from reaching AOL. I called their Postmaster department and was told (essentially) that my only options are to tell my customers not to mark as spam, or not forward the mail. Since the customer is getting mail from the world as well as forwards from us, they can't /not/ mark as spam, which leaves us forced to set a policy against forwarding to AOL.

RE: [IMail Forum] Possible to get rid of 8383?
A very easy way to deal with this is to run Apache with mod-rewrite to do the redirection. Basically, you would set it up to accept all connections on port 80 and then redirect the entire request to port 8383. This would allow ALL domains to be rewritten at once, so any of your hundred domains would automatically support http://www.domain.com/ as an entry point into webmail.

No. DNS does not govern the port, which is appended by the browser. You could use a router with port redirection capability to serve up mail.example.com on port 80 externally, while keeping IWEBMSG on 8383 on the IMail box itself. Alternately, if this is a cosmetic-only change (thst is, you're not trying to traverse a client firewall by using a well-known port instead of 8383), you could set up an IIS web site on mail.example.com that redirects to the other host/port. --Sandy Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/download/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/Release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/

[IMail Forum] Nigerian fraud spammers using iMail based WebMail accounts
As part of my Children with Diabetes web site, I run a web-mail service called cwdMail (www.cwdmail.com) that provides free accounts for users of CWD. In about mid-December, some Nigerian fraud spammers found the service and began creating accounts manually, including matching a difficult-to-read alpha-numeric GIF to confirm that a human was creating the account. I noticed the spamming about three days ago and deleted probably 30 accounts yesterday when I noticed bounces coming back. I have configured cwdmail.com outbound mail to go through my IMGate servers, which are pretty good at catching that crap. (The Declude junk mail did not stop them at all.) And I've shut down automatic web-based account creation. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem -- that is, Nigerian fraud spammers signing up for webmail accounts and using them to spam? If so, have you found some way of vetting accounts as they are created to minimize this risk? Or is it simply hopeless?

I also identified the source IP of the abuser -- 217.20.241.152 -- which is a London-based satellite company. I've blocked the associated /24 from iMail and from the web server used to set up accounts. I may simply block it entirely at my router if I see hints of the problem continuing.

Although Declude JunkMail Pro is one of the few anti-spam programs that has the ability to scan outgoing E-mail for spam, we do not recommend using it as your sole method of preventing spamming. First, most of our customers to not block outgoing spam (to ensure that their customers' mail doesn't accidentally get caught -- if you know your customers, you don't need to block their mail). Second, it is an all or nothing approach -- it will either catch 100% of the spam (if the E-mail fails enough spam tests), or 0% of the spam (if it does not). We do have a program called Declude Hijack that is specifically designed to prevent hijacking of your mailservers, which uses rate limiting that in almost all cases catches all spam that a user tries to send. However, I believe that web messaging doesn't include the IP address of the source in the headers of the E-mail, so you would be stuck blocking all E-mail if someone starts sending out spam. Perhaps you can add rules to your firewall to block all IPs coming from Nigeria?

Re: [IMail Forum] Problems with Imail 8 incorrectly reporting size of main.mbx
I have one user reporting that iMail 8 is indicating that the number of new messages being downloaded into Outlook Express differs from the number actually received, and almost always iMail is saying that there is one more message than there actually is.

RE: [IMail Forum] IMAP messages visible in WebClient but not Outl ook Express
That is indeed the problem -- messages visible via Web Mail are not visible via Outlook Express.

But the inability to see 28 critical messages brings into question the reliability of Web Mail -- at least for me.

[IMail Forum] rules.ima and blocked IPs question
Two questions: 1. I've just set up my installation of iMail and am slowly building up the rules.ima file to block spam. Is there a collection of spam-stopping rules.ima files somewhere that I could use as a starting point? 2. In my previous mail server I had blocked certain IP address ranges from connecting to the SMTP server. (I run mail for a very small number of people who want this blocking in place.) From what I have seen, iMail requires me to add these blocked IPs (or ranges) one at a time via the GUI. Is there new fast way to do this, via a file similar to rules.ima?

[IMail Forum] Initial setup questions
I've just purchased iMail and am looking for some guidance on setting it up to handle mail for multiple domains. I've read through the manuals and played around a bit, but I'm not sure I fully understand the best approach to this. I'll be installing iMail again from scratch, so I thought I'd ask for some advice. Details: I'll be installing iMail on a machine named neptune.castleweb.com. Based on the manual, this is the primary host (manual, p.18). However, there are no real accounts here -- mail will all be for other domains. I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarding to my real e-mail account. iMail will process mail for several domains (a.com, b.com, c.com, etc.). All have MX records aliased to the same IP address as neptune.castleweb.com (mail.a.com, mail.b.com, etc.). I can change the mail.a.com IP addresses to be different, but would prefer not to for ease of maintenance. Questions: 1. When adding a.com to iMail, I prefer to add a.com rather than mail.a.com, since this domain is what is displayed in the Web interface. Is this acceptable, or must I add mail.a.com and setup an alias a.com? 2. When adding a.com, b.com, etc., should I add these as virtual domains? iMail lets me add them as either virtual or IP. The documentation leads me to believe that they must be virtual. 3. When accessing mail through WebMail, will it make a difference in what the user sees if I use virtual or IP-based? That is, will a user from a.com see the URL in their browser as neptune.castleweb.com (the primary host) or mail.a.com when they connect? I'd prefer the latter, of course. I am grateful for any and all assistance. Jeff Hitchcock - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
