Postfix cannot scan mail

[ton]

Hi all,

I have some problem with amavis and postfix in my system

Problem is sometime system can scan the attached file but sometime cannot
,But  file type is same ".lzh"

Example
* Cannot scan *
May  9 13:11:43 SMTP amavis[95272]: (95272-01) p003 1 Content-Type:
multipart/mixed
May  9 13:11:43 SMTP amavis[95272]: (95272-01) p001 1/1 Content-Type:
text/plain, size: 4 B, name:
May  9 13:11:43 SMTP amavis[95272]: (95272-01) p002 1/2 Content-Type:
application/x-lzh-compressed, size: 1095339 B, name: testdo.lzh
May  9 13:11:43 SMTP amavis[95272]: (95272-01) (!)Decoding of p002 (LHa
(2.x) archive data [lh5]) failed, leaving it unpacked: do_lha: no archive
members, or not an archive at all at (eval 149) line 993.

* Can scan *
May  7 08:55:12 SMTP amavis[68993]: (68993-01) p001 1/1 Content-Type:
text/plain, size: 4 B, name:
May  7 08:55:12 SMTP amavis[68993]: (68993-01) p002 1/2 Content-Type:
application/x-lha, size: 535550 B, name: J100E2.lzh
May  7 08:55:13 SMTP amavis[68993]: (68993-01) p.path BANNED:1 test@test:
"P=p003,L=1,M=multipart/mixed |
P=p002,L=1/2,M=application/x-lha,T=lha,N=J100E2.lzh |
P=p024,L=1/2/21,T=exe,T=exe-ms,N=test.exe",
matching_key="(?^:^\134.(exe-ms|dll)$)"


My amavis version amavisd-new-2.8.0_2,1
Postfix version postfix-2.9.4,1

I don't know how to fix this issue.
Any answers or how to information would be very appreciated.

Thank,
Ton

This is not postfix problem, you should ask to amavisd-new support

Advice Needed / .NET Postfix Control

[Greg Deward]

NEWBIE WARNING:  I have never used Postfix and am not a Linux guru.  Please be 
gentile.

Is there an existing .NET library (DLL, etc.) for controlling Postfix?  If not, 
is there an existing API for applications that are NOT running on the same 
server as Postfix?  More specifically, I have a need for creating users, 
deleting users, changing passwords, and the like.  I have been tasked with 
implementing an Ubuntu mail server and tying it into our custom ERP application 
(written in ASP.NET MVC and running on Windows).  The goal is to be able to 
dynamically create user accounts, leverage them for a period of time, and then 
shut them down when a project is finished.

Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you may provide.

Sorry... should have specified... cannot integrate with AD or the Microsoft 
environment.  This needs to remain entirely stand-alone.  This means our member 
base will be stored in the application's database and we will need to call out 
to Postfix to manually perform account provisioning and the like.

Re: Advice Needed / .NET Postfix Control

[Serge Fonville]

Ah, ok.

Well you can run OpenLDAP (for example) as a backend in the same way you
could use AD.

Postfix can use multiple backends depending on your needs.

What requirements do you have?

Re: Advice Needed / .NET Postfix Control

[Greg Deward]

In our conversations, the overall goal was to have a stand-alone mail server 
running Ubuntu and whatever mail packages are installed in [as close to default 
as possible] configuration.  The server should remain isolated and not be 
connected to any other box or resource.  We would call into it programmatically 
for all administrative functions.  Since we are a Microsoft shop, there is an 
overwhelming concern (read "fear") that we will be less qualified to maintain 
the platform as we add other services to the mix... in essence, we need to keep 
the overall mail platform as simplistic as possible to increase the chance that 
our folks can maintain it with ease.  Unless an LDAP server was an absolute 
requirement for Postfix we could not look at it.  And, more than likely, if it 
was a requirement, we would probably look to a different product.

Early on in this project we were given a requirement to allow our members the 
ability to receive "messages" from our server via IMAP.  Someone assumed 
writing an IMAP server service would be simple and that we would have the 
cycles to do so.  Over time we have discouraged this and tried to find another 
IMAP service that will be able to marshal and deliver our messages to the 
client.  This was unsuccessful.  Postfix, and a simple server like Ubuntu, 
seems like the easiest method for dropping in a box that can receive messages 
and allow a standard email client to pull them down.  Ultimately, it would be 
great to find an IMAP Server Service to negotiate the client calls act as a 
proxy to our application.  Until then, Postfix appears to be the path we are on.

I hope this helps.

I think you misunderstand what Postfix is.

Postfix receives mail for valid recipients then passes it on to a 
delivery agent.

It has no administrative functions like you are seeking.
It can look up valid recipient via SQL or ldap or static lists.
Then it delivers as directed to an agent. There are a couple of simple 
agents to deliver to the local file system included, but nothing fancy.


Installing Postfix alone will not let you read the mail.  You need an 
IMAP/POP3 client to read remotely which Postfix does not provide.


Before commenting further, I think you should read the documentation 
http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html .

No.  But people use webmin or similar to control their Unix systems
with Postfix as one of the managed components.

None of this is Postfix-specific.  Postfix is just an MTA, it routes
email messages, it is not a mailstore.  Perhaps you're looking for
Zimbra or something similar or perhaps a bit simpler like Dovecot.

> I have been tasked with implementing an Ubuntu mail server and tying

Postfix is a building-block not a complete mail system.  It is an
MTA that receives and forwards email.  Postfix does not manage
users or user mailboxes.

The MTA is an important, but very simple part of a "mail server",
by far the bulk of the complexity is the mailstore.  All the
user-centric activity happens around the IMAP or similar mail
service, not the SMTP mail relay.

Find a mail-server you like, and management tools for that.  You
can use Postfix on the edge of this environment to be a border MX
host, and in as the MTA internally routing messages between servers.

The extent of Postfix interaction with the mailstore will be lookups
against LDAP or MySQL or ... tables managed by the mailstore
administrator to determine how to rewrite public addresses to
mailbox addresses or route public addresses to the right store.

Consider the strong possibility that you're in over your head.
Building an Ubuntu mailstore as a novice to Unix is a tall order.
Look for an integrated product that delivers the whole stack (users,
mailboxes, quotas, passwords, ...)

Re: Advice Needed / .NET Postfix Control

[Serge Fonville]

A few challenges then I suspect.
Postfix does SMTP, you need a different service for IMAP
It is likely easier (to maintain) a full solution (i.e. zarafa, zimbra)
instead of a combination of services (postfix/dovecot)

The point you make about low maintenance complicates things especially
since there are multiple components that make up a solution.

It's a bit ironic that you're summarily eliminating the one interface
you already know very well, which would work perfectly for you.  I'd
guess this is due to...

Fear.  You fear the unknown system you have zero experience with, so you
desire to completely isolate it from anything else.  This is a mistake.
 Face your fear and let it pass through you.

Postfix never modifies LDAP/AD/mysql data.  As others have mentioned
that is not its job.  It simply queries for user and domain names,
possibly credentials if you're allowing submission, other table data,
etc.  Given that you're an all Microsoft shop, implementing a *nix mail
server without using LDAP/AD queries for user info is akin to hog tiring
yourself.

Again as others noted, Postfix doesn't perform user management.  It
doesn't create nor delete user accounts.  You can perform these
functions blindfolded using AD can you not?  Then use it.

And if you actually intend to have users "pull" this email as you
described, instead of delivering it to their existing mailboxes, then
you need a mailbox/IMAP/POP server, as others mentioned.

To make this much easier and avoid running a mailbox/IMAP/POP server,
simply deliver these emails to users' existing mailboxes, wherever those
may be:  freemail, ISP, internal corporate, etc.  If you do this, all
you need is your MS hosted AD database and Postfix.

Your description of the workload requirements is somewhat vague so keep
that in mind when reading replies.

Re: Postfix, Autoreply

[motty cruz]

after a lot of research, I have this script

# sh reply motty.c...@gmail.com u...@mydomain.com

I get the copy and sender gets a copy, but how do I get Postfix to use this
script
here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/bash

You need "postfix reload after changing cidr maps (and pres, regexp,
and other files that are processed in their entirety as the map is
opened).


here i just move cidr maps to postgresql so it does not need to reload 
postfix, but its maybe not all using postgresql, just to note it for 
cron update postfix


using spf data to dump into cidr is basicly a bit silly in the terms 
its not live data, postscreen could use tables in any postconf -m, its 
only make sense to use cidr for speed reasons imho

I wasn't sure either, which is why I added a "postfix reload" as the
last line of the gwhitelist.sh script. :)


please respect my signature, if you use multiple sh files to update via 
cron, then you might combine all sh into one cron script and end it all 
with one single postfix reload, if not using postgresql :)

Before you go any further, you should read RFC 3834, "Recommendations
for Automatic Responses to Electronic Mail":

 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3834

... particularly section 2, which begins (with admirable directness) "An
automatic responder MUST NOT blindly send a response for every message
received."

If you don't consider those recommendations, your script -- if you get
it working -- will do things you won't like.

As an example: what would your script do if it ever received a message
claiming to be from its own "From" address (because you sent yourself a
message, or because a spammer forged your own address)? It appears that
it would send itself an infinite loop of "On vacation" messages.

There are other subtle problems that are difficult to explain here, some
of which will cause you to annoy other people on the Internet, not just
yourself.

This is why people with experience are telling you to use existing
software that already takes all of this into account, instead of helping
you do something that's universally recognized as unwise.
