Ah, sure.  Courier-MTA offers a complete stack, including UUCP.

I'm actually 19 so I largely use it for nostalgia's sake. Yes. I'm 19
and I'm a private email operator. And I've used UUCP. Part of it is to
get around SMTP blocks, part of it is to, as I said, entertain
nostalgia. I don't really know. I guess I am fond of bangpaths.

Twenty years ago all the MTAs supported uucp, but these days I would
be surprised if any remaining uucp code was other than cruft that
nobody had bothered to delete.  If you really want uucp support,
you're going to have to do some gateway programming.

uucp was a a thing of wonder when the earth was young and Telebit

I'd be interested in why he's still using uucp.

Well I am using it over the internet. And it's strictly for nostalgia's

If you use software which already implements Sieve (Dovecot and Cyrus
are probably the most common), it's often convenient to just use that.

If not, there are other programs which act as stand-alone delivery agents
- the ones I know of are maildrop (which is normally used with Courier mail
server but can also work standalone), and fdm (which is mostly used as a
pop3/imap fetcher but you can also configure an "stdin" account type

2019-12-09 Thread Andris Reinman via mailop
When I evaluated available email software for a medium size installation a
few years ago I did not find anything that would cater all our needs, so I
wrote my own stack (MTA + MX + IMAP/POP3). Currently it runs in high
availability (any server can go down any time without affecting access to
stored mail) cluster of 20 servers (most being used in a sharded and
replicated db cluster). There are not so many users, slightly over 10k and
5+TB of emails, so there's a lot more room to grow. Even though the current
setup is much larger then it all started from not finding a suitable MTA
and once I'd built my own it kind ow grew from that.

The problems I had were mostly related to IP blocking. If you have lots of
users then some of the accounts get taken over from time to time and start
blasting out spam. Once you detect and block these users you already might
be listed in some DNSBL. You can ask for a delisting but it is going to
take some time and during that window your mail might not be accepted. So
the MTA we built uses similar IP rotation techniques, like for example,
PowerMTA. You assign a list of IPs to a server, set weights for each IP and
set up zones for different rules. When it is detected that an IP starts
getting DNSBL error responses from MXs, then this IP is temporarily removed
from the IP pool and a flag is raised for admins who can then start
evaluating the situation. As everything is automatic and you still have IPs
left that are not blacklisted (yet), then there is time for the admins to
react. Ie. if an IP gets listed in the middle of the night, then the admins
to not have to get up (assuming though that the account responsible was
also suspended on our side, otherwise your other IPs end up in lists as
well).

Anyway, the MTA is open source and available here:
https://github.com/zone-eu/zone-mta
And the rest of the mail stack here: https://github.com/nodemailer/wildduck

Andris

Well... I'd rather do such things in procmail (and in fact I did and still
do - while today I'm using SpamAssassin, a custom procmail rule set is
called afterwards, which does the final decision - it's probably as old as
your sendmail rules).

I did it in procmail just because it was the first tool I learned to use for
mail filtering, and because (after many modifications of course) it still
works, I keep it :)

Now my procmail runs at mail delivery stage, but while I was still using
sendmail, I was using this procmail rule set as a filter "inside" sendmail
(setup similar to after-queue filtering in Postfix, ie. message is delivered
to procmail filter and if it passes through, /usr/sbin/sendmail is called to
re-inject it into the queue - although sendmail does not support this setup
directly as Postfix does, and it requires some rule tweaking to avoid
getting stuck in the loop with procmail being called over and over again ;))

But the point is, there are probably quite a lot of us who still run old
custom made hacks in their mail systems :)

At the risk of adding to a not-even-close-to-ops-related thread,

Sing it, brother!

I'm still running most of the 14K lines of custom m4 sendmail rulesets I
wrote back before I knew any better, mostly to deal with specific
ratware signatures.

In short, though, I've found if you want complete customizability and
are not afraid to get your hands dirty sendmail is hard to beat. Postfix
is crazy flexible in terms of knobs you can turn, as is exim, and I hear
it is possible to make the latter two do more than I could ever figure
out how to do, but I always found them more rigid than sendmail, which
is a clear sign of confirmation bias on my part, but hey. Where else do
you get to do a fifty-four member set of defs to deal with an insanely
particular set of From: header checks like this, AND get to do it in m4?

In over fifteen years of running this set (dealt with randomized stuff

Re: [mailop] Can someone write me a prescription for a sane MTA? I'm allergic to Postfix.

2019-12-05 Thread Large Hadron Collider via mailop

Mike from LinuxMagic emailed me out of band suggesting his company's own
solution, which I found somewhat inappropriate. Trouble is, I actually
forgot to enumerate my installation size and peculiar requirements.

My installation size is personal and friends, across multiple sites.
Mailboxes are not going to be redundant across sites - every site has
separate userbases.

One of my requirements is that the MTA be capable of punting emails that
are destined for a UUCP host (either as defined in a forwarding file, or
explicitly named with a bangpath) into Unix-to-Unix copy. Postfix, which
I recently developed an allergy to, doesn't even have that (though it
does have partial UUCP support, in that it can punt emails to a
Unix-to-Unix copy), but I settled because it was easy to configure on
the single host I have been using an MTA on to date.

I will not need assistance in setup if documentation is clear and concise.

2019-12-05 Thread Large Hadron Collider via mailop

Is sendmail going to be able to handle peculiar mixed
Internet/Unix-to-Unix-Copy installations? Exim is apparently not able to
do this satisfactorily, and Postfix (which I have been using; the
antihistamines ARE working (-; ) isn't so good with bangpaths (despite
being very compatible with mixed installations) mostly owing to a total
lack (in my installation) of an rmail program (so I had to jank sendmail
into place as the rmail program).

Either will work as an mta but more importantly they’ll cure you of
your postfix allergy asap.

That said I use Exim too, try it by all means - it is quite nice plus
you don’t need to switch to Debian for it or use Debians rather
idiosyncratic multifile config either

Okay, I'll bite: what's wrong with Postfix?

I've been using it since before it was called Postfix and "it works for 
me".

Still on sendmail... not wasting those 10's of thousands of hours!
