If this verification process fails, such as when no PTR exists for

"Which header lines are matched"? I have no idea what you mean.


Well, let's start with:
- HELO name
- MAIL FROM:
- From:

Since this is a postfix list - specifically, does postfix do any 
matching beyond the IP address in the TCP connection, and the PTR from 
the HELO name?

well, "mail.yourcompany.tld" should be innocuous enough and if someone asks
why you find easily a dozen large mail providers to point here "because they
are doing the same and it just works"

we had also "mail.customer1.tld", "mail.customer2.tld"... until i stepped
in and stopped that because here and there someone forgot the MX or
the A-record or both and now instead of fighting with that the mailbackend
set's the MX to always he same generic name

at that time TLS was no topic because the old Apple based mail server did
not support it at all - after i built the new mail systems with encryption
i was glad to clean that up long enough before and keep things as simple
as possible
_

general rule for administration:
if you have 5 ways to achieve the same result chose the simplest one until
you find no good reason not to do so - in the best case choose a lot of
simple implementations you understand and can explain if somebody wakes you
in the middle of the night, stick them together to a big picture

if sooner or later one of the pieces will fail you will be thanful if
you can fix that or even replace it with a better implementation not
known at the first start without touching the other pieces at all

that's why postfix has different processes for different tasks and works
for decades while not care about storage, sieve, responders and what not
because they all can be intergated however someone needs

"dig -x 8.8.8.8" is what you're after. :) The -x says "reverse the 
dotted elements, append '.in-addr.arpa.' and set QTYPE to PTR." 
Unlike most dig command line elements, order matters: the "-x" must 
come immediately before the IP address being queried.

Note that it's not smart. ANY string of dotted elements will be 
handled in this way, not just an IPv4 address.

Agreed that nslookup has a lower learning curve, and some folks 
prefer its interactive mode. To me that's not worth the risk of 
getting wrong/misleading data.

A client connects to smtpd. The PTR for the client IP address is 
looked up. The PTR value (that is, a hostname, such as 
"x.example.com.") is also looked up. If an A record matching the 
client IP address is returned, smtpd logs the connection as coming 
from "x.example.com[client.ip.add.ress]". Then if mail is eventually 
accepted, the Received header is constructed similarly:

Received: from  (x.example.com[client.ip.add.ress])

If this verification process fails, such as when no PTR exists for 
the address (see reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname) or when the 
PTR value lookup fails (nxdomain, servfail, timeout) or returns a 
different IP address (see reject_unknown_client_hostname), smtpd logs 
the connection as coming from "unknown[client.ip.add.ress]".

"Which header lines are matched"? I have no idea what you mean.

"At what points in the processing chain"? This is all done by smtpd 
for any new client connection.

> - how does it react to the absence of a PTR record?

By default, only by logging as per above. Otherwise, according to 
whatever restrictions you have chosen to enforce.

> - how does it react to mismatches (and in which headers)?

A PTR/A mismatch is "unknown". Again, no idea what you are asking 
about headers.

> - how much of this is configurable?

Restrictions are configurable. See the ones listed under 
postconf.5.html#smtpd_client_restrictions . Logging is not 
configurable.

Pick ONE name to be the canonical name of the machine. Set that as 
your PTR value for the IP address, and make sure that the name 
resolves to that address. Set that name as $myhostname. Forget the 
quest for the "perfect headers": it's not worth the trouble, and 
nobody cares anyway.


Addendum:

One other comment to this thread: please, PLEASE, get rid of 
nslookup. It is broken, bug-ridden garbage that will not be fixed. 
Nobody in A.D. 2014 should be recommending it. The proper tool for

From: Miles Fidelman


The original poster's question caught my attention - the RFCs suggest that 
there should be only one PTR record per IP address -- which begs the 
question of what do when one is serving multiple domains behind that


You set up the other domains so that the DNS has the "main" name as MX and 
the server sends mail even for the other domains using the server real name. 
In addition, setting up things like SPF and DKIM records for all the domains 
and making the "main" MX the authorised sender for them helps with 
validation.

don't setup PTR records and A records for a mailsever
setup *one* PTR record, *one* A record and *one* HELO-name

just use a generic hostname like "mail.yourcompany.tld" and
use that as MX records for as many domains you are hosting

Re: Two domains names under the same IP: how to handle this issue ?

2014-04-05 Thread Miles Fidelman
It strikes me that I haven't seen a general answer to the original 
question - how to set up PTR records when one is serving more than one 
domain under the same IP address.


This is of particular interest to me in that I currently do this as 
well.  What I'm doing now, seems to be working, but it's a matter of 
accident, not design (small cluster, originally set up to support 
company email and web servers for a few consulting clients, now also 
hosting a variety of email lists -- the web servers all have their own 
IP addresses, but the email domains share a common postfix installation 
-- the postfix configuration and dns records have just been adjusted 
over time).  It's all working, nothing is getting blocked, but I'm not 
sure why.


The original poster's question caught my attention - the RFCs suggest 
that there should be only one PTR record per IP address -- which begs 
the question of what do when one is serving multiple domains behind that 
IP (be they virtual web servers or mail servers).  And I can't seem to 
find any established best practices (in RFC form or less formally) - 
just a lot of anecdotal stories.


One thing that I've gathered is that how various programs - notably SMTP 
servers and anti-spam packages - make use of PTR records, and how they 
behave in the their absence, or in the case of mismatches, is idiosyncratic.


Which leads to several obvious questions:
- how does postfix use PTR records (e.g., which header lines are 
matched, at what points in the processing chain, ...)?

- how does it react to the absence of a PTR record?
- how does it react to mismatches (and in which headers)?
- how much of this is configurable?

Yes, a lot of this is buried in the documentation - and I'm going off to 
look - but the real question is:  are there any lessons learned and/or 
best practices to be applied to the general case of serving multiple 
domains from the same IP address?


Inquiring minds want to know!

I may use what I want, right ?

But my problem was due the missing "smtp_helo_name = mx1.adtlas.com", so

no, they are really clear and to be honest if you have a problem to understand
that terms you should hire somebody who does because that is a prerequisite
for maintain a network facing machine

* domain: example.com
* FQDN: mail.example.com
* hostname: mail (in that case)

what machine name is "sd-20384" and how does it matter?

you may fight corrently with DNS-TTL, means even if you changed the
PTR it may take up to 24 or 48 hours to get changed in dns caches
all over the world, on the other hand there is still no A record for
"mail.adtlas.com" asking your primary nameserver - so change that!

final goal you should achieve:

125.117.191.88.in-addr.arpa name = mail.adtlas.com
mail.adtlas.com  = 88.191.117.125
main.cf -> smtp_helo_name -> mail.adtlas.com

that is what the world is interested in because these are the
public records and "smtp_helo_name" is the greeting your server
makes to the destination which should be

a) FQDN
b) a exsting hostname
c) relsove to a IP which should resolve back

I apologize for masking at first my data, but a lot of people are doing the

As you have seen, I've then provided on my own my full parameters when it

Please don't hurt too much dumb people asking for help: I'm for sure NOT a

not conflicting, informations about parameters for those servers...

For me, and again excuse me, the terms "hostname", "domain" and "machine"
can be sometimes confusing when they relate to parametersi to be used in
configuration files for POSTFIX and BIND.

Confusion occurs too with the "mx1.adtlas.com" and "mail.adtlas.com"
parameters...

Last but notleast, my machine name is "sd-20384".

We just set one record, or none. You just get problems with more than one as I

why don't you just say that from the very begin?

and that is why you should not mask infos if you seek for help
with the info above all would have been clear while honestly
you should understand the error message and what a FQDN is

your original post contained: "The FQDN is not seen in proper SMTP FQDN format:
It lacks the part" and "adtlas.com." is not a FQDN - so if you even
have a admin-backend ofr that why don#t you just enter "mail.adtlas.com." and
the same for the A-record and "smtp_helo_name"

[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ nslookup 88.191.117.125
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address:127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
125.117.191.88.in-addr.arpa name = adtlas.com.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
117.191.88.in-addr.arpa nameserver = nsa.online.net.
117.191.88.in-addr.arpa nameserver = nsb.online.net.
nsb.online.net  internet address = 195.154.228.250
nsa.online.net  internet address = 88.191.253.53

don't do that, you machine needs on A-record and one maching
PTR with a matching HELO-hostname which both does not depend
on any domain it is hosting for email

if you have more than one records it's up to the client
which one he is using and that may lead to problems

Many thanks for your answer, but now I'l lost...

I rent one dedicated server at Online.net with two domains ("vehicall.com"
and "adtlas.com" at Namebay) and my provider's console allows me to manage
the reverse DNS. 
 
Actually I've since a while "adtlas.com." defined for "88.191.117.125" as
reverse.

How may I define two reverse, one for each domain, pointing to my single IP
? Is it legal ? Is it possible ?  
 
Maybe I'm totally wrong...

what is that above?
just read this!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup

sorry, but you don't have a clue how DNS works and before you starr
to implement that read below beause you are not in the position to
control your PTR - are you aware that basic understanding of DNS
and networking is a prerequisite do maintaina public mailserver?

why don't you ask a nameserver others also asking?
nslookup xx.xxx.xxx.xxx 8.8.8.8

why don't you just open the link below?
http://www.emailtalk.org/ptr.aspx

frankly, it makes me angry if people
* don't quote what they are replying to
* don't read informations someone provides them


if you would not strip your IP for no good reason i could even
tell you what nameservers are responsible for your PTR

what you create on your BIND don't matter until you have at least
a /24 network and a agreement with your ISP that he makes your
nameservers responsible for in-addr-arpa of that subnet and that
is not easy to achieve - been there done that, took years of asking

PTR records live in the in-addr.arpa zone.
With a high probability this zone is hosted at your provider.
Please ask them to setup the PTR records.

Re: Two domains names under the same IP: how to handle this issue ?

2014-04-04 Thread Germain
Many thanks for your answer !

In fact I've already in the BIND configuration of zone-one.com:

"zone-one.com. A xx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
"mx1.zone-one.com. A xx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
"zone-one.com. MX 10 mx1.zone-one.com."
"xx.xxx.xxx.xxx.zone-one.com. PTR zone-one.com."

Same is true for zone-two.com with exactly the same related parameters !

Maybe it is wrong to have both of them ?

you need a PTR record which needs to match the A-record of your IP and for
the sake of a clean setup "myhostname" in main.cf or at least "smtp_helo_name"
should match that too

http://www.emailtalk.org/ptr.aspx

this is one of the *basic* setups before install a mailserver

you can host 100, 200, 1000 domains on one server and IP and so the
subject has nothing to do with your problem above


Two domains names under the same IP: how to handle this issue ?

2014-04-04 Thread Germain
Hello,

Please let me expose my problem to your sagacity :-)

Under Ubuntu 10.04, I'm running one dedicated server with Postix 2.7.0 and
Bind 9.7.0 to host two Web sites: site-one.com and site-two.com. 

Accordingly, I've defined one email account for each one:
webcont...@site-one.com and webcont...@site-two.com.
 
Unfortunately when I'm doing the tests with MultiRBL.valli.org, my IP is
ONLY blacklisted on V4BL.org with the following sentence:

Your email is from domain "site-one.com", this IP is from domain
"site-two.com".
IP "xx.xxx.xxx.xxx" remain listed because:
 - The underlying domain ("site-two.com") lacks credibility.
 - The FQDN is not seen in proper SMTP FQDN format: It lacks the 
part.

What do you suggest me to resolve this issue ? I can provide my main.conf
file for examination !
 
Thanks in advance for your appreciated help,
Germain

PS: as you imagine, I can't afford two dedicated servers right now...
