Re: mailserver, can traceroute, cannot make SMTP connection

2001-04-30 Thread postmaster


When I telnet to the host, the connection just hang. For example, I telnet 
to mta.excite.com 25, it just hang, no response but I can receive mail from 
their site. 

I hope I could get more idea on analyzing why the problem occured. Yes, I 
know that the problem seemed to be on my side, but what caused the problem, 
that I don't know. 

I hope someone can give my more idea about this. 

Thanks!

POP3 Login

2001-04-30 Thread Aaron Goldblatt

I'm experiencing a curious issue with qmail-popup/pop3d.

qmail-popup is being called by tcpserver.  It even works.

POP3 server:  wndrgrl.goldblatt.net  208.190.130.82/27
Other interface: 10.1.1.10

The 208.190.130.82 works quickly, efficiently, as expected, but in 
public.  This interface is a 10 megabit NIC.

The 10.1.1.10 interface is a totally separate 100 megabit LAN that I use to 
run my private services, like printer sharing, NFS, all the stuff I need 
but don't want exposed to the public.

When I try to retrieve mail via POP3 on the PUBLIC interface, all goes well.

When I try to retrieve mail via POP3 on the PRIVATE interface, it works, 
but where the public side takes about two seconds to complete an empty 
transaction, the private one takes as much as 60 seconds to authenticate 
(Eudora hangs on Logging in to server, which is its way of saying 
login/password).  If Eudora doesn't get sick of waiting it EVENTUALLY 
works, but slowly.

qmail-popup is invoked as follows:

/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup 
wndrgrl.goldblatt.net /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 


Per the documentation in various places, the FQDN is 
wndrgrl.goldblatt.net.  Do I need -two- instances of qmail-popup -- one for 
each interface?  Or does tcpserver bind to both interfaces at once?

My gut reaction is that tcpserver binds to both interfaces, based on the 
fact that retrieval from the private interface does work, albeit slowly.

Pointers toward a resolution or where to start looking, including FAQs and 
docs I've missed, are welcome.

Thank you.

okee dokee.  i'm having quite a time trying to get qmail to work right.

for a while i was at least able to send mail from my box [running
openbsd2.8] and receive it on my box, or send mail from it, and
receive elsewhere, but not send from elsewhere and receive on it.

now i can't send or receive anything, and i'm not sure what I did to
change that.  it looks like all the appropriate apps are running [4
or so, i think the documentation said], but nothing is getting
delivered.  i occassionally get an email bounced back if i send from
elsewhere saying 'couldnt deliver for 7 days'.

i just found the qmail/queue/mess folder, and it looks like there's a
bunch of mail in there that's been waiting to be delivered for ages
[probably around 2 weeks or more].

the only thing i knew to check was rcpthosts, and it's got localhost
and the domain of my box listed there.

i followed all the instructions best i could, moved around mailboxes
and such.  the only thing that i couldn't do had to do with removing
sendmail, since something it told me to move just wasn't there.

any help anybody could give me would be greatly appreciated.

 Thank you.

It's a DNS matter. The delay u're experimenting is due to the reverse DNS
checking - certainly the server cannot get the intranet clients' name using
theyr IP and your clients must wait for the DNS timeout.

I deleted the message then the next delivery of the mail failed and I
thought darn I forgot to stop qmail, so I restarted it and then errors on
bounce messages  started appearing

the problems are that the hostname I set qmail up under was fbm.sdns.net and
sdns.net keeps dissappearing so I changed all the qmail control files to
fbm.yi.org but when I sent from elsewhere it still used the sdns.net address
also there has been problems with the mail servers at uea (norwich uni)

now there are more messages in my queue that are undeliverable, so I would
like to clear the queue safely, I presume they would expire after a while
but I would like to get rid of them so I can test that I have qmail working
without getting tonnes of old error messages from old emails

Download queue-fix from the link at www.qmail.org and compile it -- if you're
using the big-todo patch for qmail, you'll also need to patch queue-fix.  Then
stop qmail, and run queue-fix on your queue.  It should be able to handle
this.

username@domain@domain relay hole !

2001-04-30 Thread Nissim Penias



Hello all ,

I have recently installed a new qmail server an i 
am interested in working with soon but i figured out that
qmail doesn't solve the situation of relaying 
this address type:

username@domain@domain while username@domain is the 
person to which i am intersted in sending mail and the @domain is my mail domain 
and the mail server relay this king of address that conclude two
'@' signes and gives spammers and other people use 
qmail as relay to their own intrests .

When I type 'qmail-showctl' I see that qmail covers 
the '%' situation but is there any solution for the problem I have just 
mentioned .

I am sure that you all concerned about this as I do 
because it makes your server an open relay to this trick .


I would realy like to solve it so , it any of you 
are aware of any solution within qmail or other one ,
this might help us all .

Thanks , 
Nissim Penias .

No, it doesn't.  What makes you think it does?  To qmail, there's nothing
special about an '@' symbol inside the local-part of an email address.
For example, a message to foo@[EMAIL PROTECTED], handled by a qmail server which
handles mail for baz.net, will be delivered to local user foo@bar.  If you
don't have such a user, the message will bounce.

In no circumstances will the message be relayed to the server which handles

username@domain@domain relay hole !!!

2001-04-30 Thread Nissim Penias




Hello all ,

I have recently installed a new qmail server an i 
am interested in working with soon but i figured out that
qmail doesn't solve the situation of relaying 
this address type:

username@domain@domain while username@domain is the 
person to which i am intersted in sending mail and the @domain is my mail domain 
and the mail server relay this king of address that conclude two
'@' signes and gives spammers and other people use 
qmail as relay to their own intrests .

When I type 'qmail-showctl' I see that qmail covers 
the '%' situation but is there any solution for the problem I have just 
mentioned .

I am sure that you all concerned about this as I do 
because it makes your server an open relay to this trick .


I would realy like to solve it so , it any of you 
are aware of any solution within qmail or other one ,
this might help us all .

Thanks , 
Nissim Penias 
.

 Hello Charles ,

 What I meen is that if I am sending mail using the SMTP protocol
  telnet mailserver 25 ) and
 I am using address foo@[EMAIL PROTECTED] and I am holding kuku.com the mail
 will be relayed
 from my mail server  kuku.com to foo@bar .

 I tried it and the qmail-smtpd log says delivering foo@bar insted of
 dropping it .

 This meens that users outside my domain can use any qmail server this
 way to relay to outside
 existing  adresses .

 Thanks ,
 Nissim .





Re: POP3 Login

2001-04-30 Thread |nix ZixinG

Hi. I also have the same problem 2 days ago. And I solved it after some kind
soul helped me out.

Anyway, just add -R and the -H switch to tcpserver.

-R disables IDENT
-H disables reverse DNS lookups

Your new line should look like this
 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
wndrgrl.goldblatt.net /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir

Subject: POP3 Login


 I'm experiencing a curious issue with qmail-popup/pop3d.

 qmail-popup is being called by tcpserver.  It even works.

 POP3 server:  wndrgrl.goldblatt.net  208.190.130.82/27
 Other interface: 10.1.1.10

 The 208.190.130.82 works quickly, efficiently, as expected, but in
 public.  This interface is a 10 megabit NIC.

 The 10.1.1.10 interface is a totally separate 100 megabit LAN that I use
to
 run my private services, like printer sharing, NFS, all the stuff I need
 but don't want exposed to the public.

 When I try to retrieve mail via POP3 on the PUBLIC interface, all goes
well.

 When I try to retrieve mail via POP3 on the PRIVATE interface, it works,
 but where the public side takes about two seconds to complete an empty
 transaction, the private one takes as much as 60 seconds to authenticate
 (Eudora hangs on Logging in to server, which is its way of saying
 login/password).  If Eudora doesn't get sick of waiting it EVENTUALLY
 works, but slowly.

 qmail-popup is invoked as follows:

 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
 wndrgrl.goldblatt.net /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
Maildir 


 Per the documentation in various places, the FQDN is
 wndrgrl.goldblatt.net.  Do I need -two- instances of qmail-popup -- one
for
 each interface?  Or does tcpserver bind to both interfaces at once?

 My gut reaction is that tcpserver binds to both interfaces, based on the
 fact that retrieval from the private interface does work, albeit slowly.

 Pointers toward a resolution or where to start looking, including FAQs and
 docs I've missed, are welcome.

 Thank you.

No, he is incorrect.  The example you sent me in private mail doesn't show
this happening either.  I have yet to see the logs of a single instance of
this form of relaying being allowed to happen through a qmail server.

Sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]@baz.net will be accepted by qmail if baz.net is
in rcpthosts.  If it's local, qmail will try to deliver it to local user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- qmail knows the difference between a local recipient and a
remote recipient, so it won't try to send this on to the MX for bar.com.

If baz.net is in rcpthosts, but not in locals or virtuals, qmail will then
forward the whole thing on to the primary MX for baz.net.  If this is what is
happening, it's not (unauthorized) relaying at all, and doesn't involve
bar.com at any point.

Actually thats not always enough.  I had -H and -R and still had the dreaded

should also)

-l localname: Do not look up the local host name in DNS; use localname for the
environment variable $TCPLOCALHOST. A common choice for localname is 0. To avoid
loops, you must use this option for servers on TCP port 53.

Mine look like:

tcpserver -l0 -v -H -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup (and so on)
tcpserver -l0 -v -p -H -R -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c $MAXSMTPD

[ANNOUNCE] TMDA 0.10 - python-based anti-spam system for qmail

2001-04-30 Thread Jason R. Mastaler

I'm pleased to announce a new major release of my Tagged Message
Delivery Agent (TMDA).

New in release 0.10:

* The amkCrypto package is no longer necessary.  With this release,
  only the core Python language distribution version 1.5.2 or higher
  is required to run TMDA.  See the `UPGRADE' file if you are
  upgrading from a previous TMDA release.

* Many new features added, and some small bugs fixed.

Further release announcements will take place on the tmda-announce
mailing list http://libertine.org/lists/listinfo/.

About TMDA:

TMDA is an OSI certified Python application for qmail systems designed
to significantly reduce (or eliminate) the amount of SPAM/UCE you
receive by using unique, cryptographically enhanced (called tagged)
e-mail addresses.  TMDA can both filter your incoming e-mail, and tag
your outgoing address.

For more information, download locations, and installation
instructions, visit the TMDA homepage:

Problem with virtualdomains and VERPs (with patch)

2001-04-30 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti

qmail-send handles virtual domains (by prepending the virtual domain
prefix) before it creates a Variable Envelope Return Path.

This creates problems for me on my master mail server.  For example,
if I am the user [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I address a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and I request a VERP (say, by setting the r flag in
QMAILINJECT), and control/virtualdomains has the following line:

foo.com:blah

...then the VERP reads sender-blah-recip=foo.com instead of the
correct sender-recip=foo.com.

Incidentally, I noticed this because ezmlm is not removing dead
accounts from my mailing lists because the VERPs are wrong.

The appended patch seems to fix the problem.

Greetings,
Forgive my newbieness, this is the first Unix based mail project that I
have had to bring up to production standards.. Currently I have Qmail
functioning in all respects but 2, #1 being Qmail must be able to rewrite
the headers of outgoing mail so that it all looks to be coming from
bonair.stanford.edu instead of fops-monitor.stanford.edu. The accounts on
both machines are identical and currently I want to be able just to have
bonair .forward to fops-monitor for our trial stages. #2 being I cannot seem
to get this autoresponder working properly, on our current machine
(sendmail), the vacation program seems to function fine, though under Qmail
when I tried it, it started a massive message loop.

Any ideas or instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, but *only* if the domain should not be treated as a virtual domain, or

Re: Is qmail best reserved for mailing list server purposes only?

2001-04-30 Thread John R. Levine

One last note on this thread. While rereading the FAQ, I came across this 
which indicates qmail has brakes to keep from generating denial of service 
attacks.

http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/efficiency.html

Does qmail back off from dead hosts?
Answer: Yes. qmail has three backoff features: ...

Qmail backs off very well, but doesn't work all that well with
sendmail under heavy load.  The problem is that sendmail keeps
accepting connections even when it doesn't have enough system
resources to accept mail, and tends to thrash to death.  (Qmail
systems usually use tcpserver which enforces a maximum number of
simultaneous connections rejecting any beyond that limit.)  But since
sendmail doesn't reject connections, qmail can't tell that the
recipient system isn't responding.

Sendmail users tend to assume that anything sendmail does must be
right, and anything different must be wrong, so they often blame qmail
for opening too many connections.  In reality, the connections could
just as easily come from any other mail system, of course.

adding custom bounce headers (was Re: How do you handle the double bounces?)

2001-04-30 Thread Jason R. Mastaler

Frank Tegtmeyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 If the TMDA-bounces would be marked somehow (inserted header or
 something like that) they could be sorted out from the double
 bounces. For that tmda-filter would have to inject a self made
 bounce message and use a result code of 99 instead of 100.  It's a
 little more complicated but would heavily increase my acceptance of
 TMDA (speaking as postmaster, of course).

[copying the qmail list on this one to solicit a wider audience]

I'm willing to entertain this because I also want the ability to add a
Reply-To header to bounce messages containing the valid tagged
address so that legitimate senders can reply more easily to bounces.
While I'm there I could add a second header distinguishing the bounce
as TMDA generated.

But the question is how to best implement this.  Is there an easy
way to add custom headers to qmail bounce messages?  I'd like to avoid
duplicating qmail-send's bounce generation code.  This could get
complicated having to take into account qmail-control settings like
`bouncefrom', `bouncehost' and stuff.

Any suggestions?

Relay for domains in rcpthosts

2001-04-30 Thread ross

I want to allow relaying of all domains in my rcpthosts file. While I
know this is a very bad thing to do this is only a very temporary measure.

I have searched high and low for this...and I cant find the answer!

Thanks,

ross






Re: Relay for domains in rcpthosts

2001-04-30 Thread Daniel Kelley


i think you're essentially referring to how to maintain a secondary MX.

qmail will not attempt local delivery to any host that is in rcpthosts,
but is not in locals/me.

if you are running under tcpserver, make sure that you're not preventing
any connections you want, and you should be fine.

 Qmail backs off very well, but doesn't work all that well with
 sendmail under heavy load.  The problem is that sendmail keeps
 accepting connections even when it doesn't have enough system
 resources to accept mail, and tends to thrash to death. 

well - it's VERY misconfigured sendmail ;)

 (Qmail
 systems usually use tcpserver which enforces a maximum number
 of
 simultaneous connections rejecting any beyond that limit.) 
 But since
 sendmail doesn't reject connections, qmail can't tell that the
 recipient system isn't responding.

It rejects, really 
 
 Sendmail users tend to assume that anything sendmail does must
 be
 right, and anything different must be wrong, so they often
 blame qmail
 for opening too many connections.  In reality, the
 connections could
 just as easily come from any other mail system, of course.

I'm not sure how qmail works if you are sending 100 messages
from server to another one.
Does it open 100 connections concurrently?

it opens maxconcurrency connections. It doesn't have per-site
concurrency limit, unles you patch it.  It is reccommended, if
you are having a problem killing a particular smtp peer, to 
trap all outgoing mail for it by defining it as a local virtual host,
and then passing the stack of mail in the local virtual host's
MailDir to the peer with something called serialmail.

removing a particular *recipient* from the queue

2001-04-30 Thread Omar Thameen

How do I stop qmail from attempting to deliver a message to a particular
recipient?   I don't want to remove the entire message from the queue;
I just want it to stop trying to deliver to a broken mail server.
I already know about qmHandle, and that won't work here.

I'm running qmail 1.03 and ezmlm-idx 0.40.  Several mail servers are
broken - they close the SMTP connection before verifying that they
received the message, causing qmail to re-attempt delivery later (as
it should).  This results in 
...connection_died._Possible_duplicate!_(#4.4.2)
log messages, which, in fact, are true - the recipient is getting
a copy every time qmail re-attempts delivery.

I've looked at the qmail queue files and see that remote/NN/XX
contains a list of addresses.  From what I can deduce, those separated
by [EMAIL PROTECTED] are deliveries that are unsuccessful, whereas
[EMAIL PROTECTED] are successfully completed.  I presume this is
where qmail-qread gets its information.

Could I possibly hand-edit the remote/NN/XX file and remove the
particuar address?  Any other ideas, like perhaps tricking qmail-remote
into thinking that the address is to be locally delivered?

Thanks,
Omar

Yes, but why?  Are you worried that this is polluting your logs?  Why
intentionally break something to accomplish something that your qmail system
will do on its own after queuelifetime expires?

As far as being tricky, man qmail-remote.

#1 being Qmail must be able to rewrite

qmail doesn't rewrite any headers. Either the users' MUAs must be
configured to use the correct From: header or to use no From: header at
all. If the latter is chosen, qmail will construct the From: header from
the user name, which it finds in QMAILUSER, MAILUSER, USER, or LOGNAME,
whichever comes first, and the contents of .../control/defaulthost.

   #2 being I cannot seem
 to get this autoresponder working properly, on our current machine
 (sendmail), the vacation program seems to function fine, though under Qmail
 when I tried it, it started a massive message loop.

vacation doesn't work with qmail. Visit http://www.qmail.org/ and search
for vacation or autoresponder. People tend to recommend the one from
Bruce Guenter.
