Hello! I haven't find it in FAQ's... how do I set up tcpserver to reject SMTP connections from non-resolving hosts? Alex.
Hey people, Sorry for the cross-posting! But I just want to know how is this now? Is mail-abuse.org still not providing TXT records for listed IP addresses in relays.mail-abuse.org? Does djbdns V. 1.02 still requires a patch like http://www.cqc.com/~pacman/projects/rblsmtpd-rss/ to use an A record? I'm using this in my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run: # ... \ # rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org -rrbl.maps.vix.com -rdialups.mail-abuse.org \ # ... Is this the best choice? How could I make qmail-smtpd use rbldns in my localhost? I already have a dnscache running in this machine. I think it would be better to have a Secondary zone for those dns zones in my rbldns server. Your help would be really appreciated! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Augusto Fernandes (DAF tm) [EMAIL PROTECTED] GCSNet http://www.gcsnet.com.br/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Se você não encontra o sentido das coisas é porque este não se encontra, se cria.

You're correct, mail-abuse.org has removed the TXT records from the relays service. djbdns doesn't require a patch though, djbdns is name servers and associated programs, I think you meant rblsmtpd, that does need the patch if you want to use the MAPS relay server. DJB's view of the issue on the rblsmtpd web page is that BIND is the problem since it can't handle all the TXT records so MAPS should use his DNS server instead. So anyway... get rbldns built and installed, I put mine in /var/rbldns and set it's root zone to myspamblocker.com Once you have it ready to go, add the appropriate entries into it's data file: /var/rbldns/root/data or whever you install it, and edit your /etc/resolv.conf to have the line: server 127.0.0.1 assuming you're running rbldns on 'locahost'. Of, if you want to customize your bounce messages, go into that data file again and on the first line, you can put: :127.0.0.2:Your message goes here $ That will bounce the mail with the message of your choice followed by the IP address of the connecting server. Finally, just add this line to your qmail-smtpd startup script after rblsmtpd is called: -r myspamblocker.com That will have it look up all entries on your new rbldns server, bounce them if a match is found, and then go on to the next dns server if no match is found.

Hey Daniel, they do, same group of people I believe but two different companies, or LLC's, whatever... :-) I don't believe they will let you do zone transfers without at least signing some type of agreement and even then you might have to pay them, but that might only be for their new one server combined lookup service. I would just patch the rblsmtpd and use their server for open relay blocking, I personally use rbldns just for my own list of spammers that I have been accumulating. If you want to run it in addition to dnscache, I'd just set it to run on another address and add another line to resolv.conf. You could always add a private address to your server's NIC, like 192.168.0.1 or something and run it on there.

Hello again, >Is multilog running? Is the sticky bit set on /service/qmail-send? There are two instances of multilog running, one for qmai-send and one for qmail-smtpd. The sticky bit is set for /var/qmail/supervice/qmail-send (/service/qmail-send is a sim link to the former). I just worry if the /var/qmail/rc file is correct, because man qmail-start sais that default logger is splogger.

The 1.03 qmail-start man page doesn't say that. Have you checked your syslogs? >#!/bin/sh >exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ >qmail-start './Maildir/' Looks fine to me. -Dave

In the event of a restoration, you'll want to either empty the queue (thus "losing" all undelivered, queued messages) or run one of the queue fixers available through www.qmail.org to rename the queue files by their new inode numbers. -Dave

sigh. whenever a user sends mail to my qmail server and that user's ip is not the /etc/tcp.smtp file, the mail gets bounced. that's not the way things should be. i'm using a separate smtp server, so why would it refuse the message? i thought rcpthosts was only for allowing users to use the server as a relay. when i use an ip that is allowed in /etc/tcp.smtp, it behaves ok and the recipient gets the mail. am i missing something here? thanks a bunch! pearse ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mail Delivery Subsystem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 2:16 PM Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details > The original message was received at Wed, 18 Oct 2000 14:16:10 -0500 > from cs2711-198.austin.rr.com [24.27.11.198] > > ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > (reason: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)) > > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > ... while talking to cliff.carorder.com.: > >>> RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > <<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) > 550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...

i'm a freaking moron. for some reason, i was convinced that rcpthosts held the domains that could send mail to the mail server. rather, it holds the domains that the mail server will accept mail for. i guess "rcpt" stands for "recipient". thanks for putting up with silliness. i'm just an scm pretending to be a system administrator. ;-) pearse ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander Jernejcic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 2:56 PM Subject: RE: yet another rcpthosts issue...;-) > hi, > what is your ~/qmail/control/rcpthosts say? are all your domains in there? > > ;) a > ============================================== > Alexander Jernejcic > email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > begin LOVE-LETTER-UND-NIX-DAZUGELERNT.txt.vbs > I am a Signature, not a Virus! > end > > ============================================== > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Robert Eric Pearse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 9:23 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: yet another rcpthosts issue...;-) > > > > > > sigh. whenever a user sends mail to my qmail server and that user's ip is > > not the /etc/tcp.smtp file, the mail gets bounced. > > > > that's not the way things should be. i'm using a separate smtp server, so > > why would it refuse the message? i thought rcpthosts was only for allowing > > users to use the server as a relay. > > > > when i use an ip that is allowed in /etc/tcp.smtp, it behaves ok and the > > recipient gets the mail. > > > > am i missing something here? > > > > thanks a bunch! > > > > pearse > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Mail Delivery Subsystem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 2:16 PM > > Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details > > > > > > > The original message was received at Wed, 18 Oct 2000 14:16:10 -0500 > > > from cs2711-198.austin.rr.com [24.27.11.198] > > > > > > ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > (reason: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts > > (#5.7.1)) > > > > > > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > > > ... while talking to cliff.carorder.com.: > > > >>> RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > <<< 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) > > > 550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...

Since it has been reported that Pine is vulnerable to remote attacks by embedding malicious content in the FROM field of messages, and since there seems to be no intention from the Pine group to do anything about this, I was wondering if anyone knows how I can at protect my users from attack using some kind of filtering with qmail?

Hello, Just wondering due to some testing I have done, it looks as though qmail only will except mail for a user with 1) and home dir in the password file 2) chown username /home/mail/dirofuser Is there any way for qmail to bypass looking for a home directory? I could be wrong about anything I have listed above, but from my testing this appears to be correct. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Cliff Cole

If so, did you test your own domain? I just tested your domain (after creating a much needed account of my own there) and it resulted in a false positive, the same false positive I got when I tested my own mail server. The test that failed was #6, which tests an email sent from :<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> While qmail accepts initially any mail destined for (in your case) oceania.net, the email will fail to be sent when qmail finds out that there's no user by the name "jlynde%diligence.com" at your domain. If there was, I would have gotten the mail in my mailbox, which I didn't. Check your logs, and you will see the activity from the test in there, and you will also get the double-bounce, signifying the failure of the email. In other words, relax... you're not relaying... have a refreshing drink and breathe deeply cuz it's all good. Jer

We use freebsd2.2.8 and freebsd2.2.7,,Our system run rightly one year,
now when shut down in /etc/messages SHOW:
increase maxuser cluster
THEN screen show:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address =0x18
fault code =supervisor write,page not present

Maybe hardware err But we never remove hardware, yet our two mail server
have same err??

I have a server behind a router with does NAT , the intern IP for the machine is 192.168.168.145, and people from outside sees it as 200.27.50.XX. the machine does not have a direct link to the internet, the only way is through the router. I have installed and configured qmail and it works _only_ if I connect locally to the server (ie telnet localhost 25), otherwise I have to wait between 1:30 and 2 minutes for the welcome message to appear, and then it doesn't get the rules that i set in tcp.smtp and i can deliver locally only. This means that the other people in the internal network can't send any mail!!! (they must wait over a minute, and most MUA's have shorter timeouts) and even if they wait, they can only deliver local mail... The weird thing (to me) is that telnet localhost works perfectly... I've tried everything I can, and I just can't get it working right (i've played with almost every possible combination of tcp.smtp.cdb, etc.) Thanks, -- Vinko Vrsalovic B. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Perche' la tua lingua e mia!, MIA! ++ ICQ: 9299103 ++ (Mr B.) ++ Geek code will never +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ be available... :-) [Today's mode: PSB (Power Saving Brain)]

Since you mention the tcp.smtp rules file I assume you're using tcpserver. By default, tcpserver attempts to look up the hostname of the sending box before passing control to qmail-smtpd. It also tries to get ident information. If you don't run an internal DNS server it won't be able to get the former. It will time out waiting for the DNS response. Most likely your internal machines aren't running any form of identd either, so it will also time out on the latter. You should use the -R and -H options on the command line of the tcpserver that controls qmail-smtpd. Those options will prevent tcpserver from attempting to look up either the hostname or the ident information. man tcpserver for more information. [snip...] > Thanks, > Vinko HTH, Tim

Title: email domainDears,
I'm just a newbie on qmail.
I just setup my qmail server on RH6 and I used the instructions found on Life with Qmail site.
My server's host name is host1 and domain as mydomain.com. I added two entries on my
DNS:host1 IN A ip
host2 IN A same ip
IN MX 10 host2.mydomai.comWhen I reached the part wherein you have to enter your mail domain, I used this command
"./config-fast host2.mydomain.com" and proceeded on the installation.Now after installation, I tried using PINE to send mail outside the internet. everything was
successful but the only problem is my mail domain. As soon as I receive the mail, the
senders address was [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tried checking rcpthost and found entries
like "host2.mydomain.com".Do you have any ideas on what I should do?
I apologise for the long boring email.
Regards,
Benjie

Thanks in advance
