I guess there are not so many networks dropping ICMP packets.
IIRC this was reported for yahoo but that was years ago.

It apparently comes from lack of knowledge and stupid idea that ICMP is bad
and may be blocked safely.

Re: Unable to receive emails from btinternet.com

2020-06-21 Thread David Hartley

Hello All,

I am delighted to report that I have found and fixed my problem.

I first followed Viktor's advice and increased the debug level for email 
from BT.


This did not reveal much more than we already knew; my server was timing 
out waiting for data.


I then followed up the MTU issue suggested by Nick and Jan.

I found that the MTU for my router was 1492, but the MTU for my network 
card was 1500.


I followed these instructions 
https://support.purevpn.com/how-to-change-mtu-value-on-linux to find the 
best MTU value.


My thinking was that this might find additional problems at my ISP or 
beyond.


Perhaps not surprisingly the best MTU value turned out to be 1492, so I 
set my network card to 1492.


Since then I have received two emails from btinternet.com.

Once again thank you all for your help; I would not have found a 
solution without it.


With best wishes.

David

Basically this sounds like an MTU issue: The SMTP client
(mailomta12-sa.btinternet.com[213.120.69.18] in your case) is able to
establish the TCP connection to your server, and the first few SMTP
requests and responses work fine, because the packets are small. Then
when it tries to transmit the content of an email (after the DATA
command), the packets get blocked because they exceed the maximum size
that will fit through your Internet connection, and this causes the
TCP connection to stall, and inevitably time out.


If you have administrative control of your broadband router, then you
should increase the MTU of its ISP-facing Ethernet interface by 8 bytes.
Of course this only works if it's capable of jumbo frames but most are
these days.

In my case that's eth0, and this is the interface via which I set up the
PPP connection to the ISP:

eth0: flags=4163  mtu 1508
     inet 192.168.2.2  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.2.255
     ether 00:08:a2:0a:89:95  txqueuelen 2  (Ethernet)
     RX packets 5654036  bytes 5241700471 (4.8 GiB)
     RX errors 0  dropped 9031  overruns 0  frame 0
     TX packets 4027451  bytes 1179885101 (1.0 GiB)
     TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
     device memory 0xdfda-dfdb

As you can see I've set its MTU to 1508 bytes such that the PPPoE
overhead drops it back down to 1500, matching the rest of my network.
The PPP configuration also sets the MTU to 1500 for good measure.

Postfix users have seen lost connections caused by broken TCP window
scaling implementations (though I am not sure if that would result in
a lost connection after DATA, having received 0 bytes). 

If window scaling is the problem, use tcp_windowsize as described
below.

Wietse

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#tcp_windowsize

tcp_windowsize (default: 0)
   An  optional  workaround  for  routers  that  break TCP window scaling.
   Specify a value > 0 and < 65536 to enable this feature.   With  Postfix
   TCP  servers  (smtpd(8),  qmqpd(8)), this feature is implemented by the
   Postfix master(8) daemon.

   To change this parameter without stopping Postfix, you  need  to  first
   terminate all Postfix TCP servers:

   # postconf -e master_service_disable=inet
   # postfix reload

   This  immediately  terminates all processes that accept network connec-
   tions.  Next, you enable Postfix TCP servers with the updated  tcp_win-
   dowsize setting:

   # postconf -e tcp_windowsize=65535 master_service_disable=
   # postfix reload

   If  you  skip  these  steps  with  a  running  Postfix system, then the
   tcp_windowsize change will work only for Postfix TCP clients  (smtp(8),
   lmtp(8)).

The first 'too big' packet that the SMTP client transmits will get as 
far as the ISP, and (because it has the 'DF' flag set in the IP header) 
the ISP will discard it and send an ICMP 'Destination Unreachable' 
packet back to the sender. If the sender receives the ICMP packet, they 
will reduce their packet size (MSS) accordingly, and then retransmit the 
smaller packet which will get through. The reduced packet size will also 
be used for all subsequent transmissions from the sender on the same TCP 
connection.


The problem I described only happens if the ICMP 'Destination 
Unreachable' packet gets blocked and doesn't make it back to the SMTP 
client.

Re: Unable to receive emails from btinternet.com

Hi David.

I think I can guess what your problem is, because I had exactly the same 
symptom with a different bulk email provider...


Basically this sounds like an MTU issue: The SMTP client 
(mailomta12-sa.btinternet.com[213.120.69.18] in your case) is able to 
establish the TCP connection to your server, and the first few SMTP 
requests and responses work fine, because the packets are small. Then 
when it tries to transmit the content of an email (after the DATA 
command), the packets get blocked because they exceed the maximum size 
that will fit through your Internet connection, and this causes the TCP 
connection to stall, and inevitably time out.


The problem I've described above manifests itself due to a combination 
of a number of conditions:


1. Your SMTP server has a standard MTU setting.

2. Your connection to your ISP has an MTU smaller than your server's 
MTU, and your ISP either isn't performing MSS-Clamping, or it isn't 
working properly.


3. The SMTP client connecting to your server is behind a firewall that 
blocks ICMP 'Destination Unreachable' packets (type=3) due to 'datagram 
is too big and must not be fragmented' (code=4).


In my case:

1. My server was using the default MTU of 1500 bytes.

2. My connection to my ISP uses PPPoE, which adds an 8-byte header onto 
all packets travelling between my home to my ISP, effectively reducing 
the maximum packet size from 1500 bytes down to 1492 bytes. They did 
have MSS clamping set up, but it turned out that it wasn't working for 
incoming TCP connections (i.e. from the Internet to me).


3. The sender was blocking ICMP 'Destination Unreachable' packets 
(type=3) due to 'datagram is too big and must not be fragmented' (code=4).


I raised this issue with both my ISP and the bulk email provider:

* My ISP confirmed (after performing their own testing) that there was 
an issue with their MSS clamping, and that it only worked for outgoing 
TCP connections (i.e. from me to the Internet). They offered me a new 
home router that could do MSS clamping itself (but I declined because I 
wasn't keen on the brand).


* The bulk email provider allowed ICMP 'Destination Unreachable' packets 
(type=3) due to 'datagram is too big and must not be fragmented' 
(code=4) through their firewall.


However to mitigate any future recurrences (from different SMTP clients) 
I also decided to reduce the MTU on my server. There are actually a 
couple of ways to do this:


a) The simplest way is to modify your MTU in your network interface 
configuration, but exactly how you do this depends on 'what' is managing 
your network interface. E.g. Depending on your Linux distribution (e.g. 
Ubuntu, etc) you might be using systemd.networkd or Network Manager or 
NetPlan?


b) The more complicated way is to set "advmss" option on your default 
route in your routing table. (This is actually the way that I did it, 
because it only reduces the packet size for traffic that is going 
to/from the Internet, not traffic between my servers.)


Hopefully this helps? Feel free to email me directly if you think this 
is the cause of your problem, but you need more explanation about 
anything above?


Thanks,

Nick.

This is only an error if it is a response to initial "DATA" command, for
which the expected response is "354 ...".  Which somewhat suggests a
PIPELINING issue.

After STARTTLS, the client sent "MAIL", "RCPT" and "DATA", with the
connection lost at that point.  Therefore, no handshake issues can
be ruled out.

Is that really all the log lines? There should be a PERMIT line in there that 
will include something like this:

Jun 18 05:39:43 mail.covisp.net postfix/smtpd[77265] 49ng2k4wjlz2s14Y: permit: 
RCPT from camomile.cloud9.net[168.100.1.3]: action=permit for Recipient 
address=krem...@kreme.com ; from= 
to= proto=ESMTP helo=

What is in the helo= field might be a clue, since it looks from the NDR that 
the mail server is using a private IP address, but without more logging it is 
hard to be sure. It looks like what you have is a successful connection and the 
the other side gives up five minutes later, for no reason at all, after sending 
absolutely no data.

Either bt is expecting something your Mailserver is not doing, or there are 
other log lines, or their server is ver broken (and the latter seems highly 
unlikely).

You are receiving emails from other senders, I take it?

(Obfuscating your mail server makes checking things like your DNS records or 
what your server actually is sending impossible, we cannot assume that 
sharproad.uk is the domain in question.) If that is the right server, it's 
definitely weird (it doesn;'t accept ehlo, for one). What version of postfix

There are some pretty obvious differences here, and the lack of SIZE could be 
an issue. It is quite possible that btinternet is biting specifically for a 
SIZE or some other 250 code that you are not sending.

Complete logs for the message and postconf -nf would help solve this

All incoming emails from BT (mailomta[0-9]+-sa\.btinternet\.com) have
been received by our mailservers ok, the most recent was yesterday

See the accepted answer at
https://serverfault.com/questions/295409/how-to-solve-error-550-4-4-7

I suspect some firewalling action either on your mailserver or on an
intermediate router.


Unable to receive emails from btinternet.com

2020-06-18 Thread David Hartley

I am running Postfix on a Synology NAS using DSM 6.2

In general I can receive emails, however I cannot receive emails 
from@ btinternet.com.


An example of the sender's failure report is:

Reporting-MTA: dns; sa-prd-fep-040.btmx-prd.synchronoss.net
Arrival-Date: Wed, 27 May 2020 18:31:52 +0100
Received-From-MTA: dns; sa-prd-rgout-001.btmx-prd.synchronoss.net 
(10.2.38.4)


Final-Recipient: RFC822; 
Action: failed
Status: 4.4.7
Remote-MTA: dns; xxx.uk
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 250 2.1.5 Ok

The Postfix log sees the BT mail server connect, but does not receive 
any data:


2020-06-09T12:04:00+01:00  postfix/smtpd[7356]: connect from 
mailomta12-sa.btinternet.com[213.120.69.18]

from mailomta12-sa.btinternet.com[213.120.69.18] ehlo=2 starttls=1 
mail=1 rcpt=1 data=0/1 commands=5/6


Can anyone suggest what the problem is here please?

Is is a problem at my end, or a problem at btinternet.com?

With thanks
