qmail and virtual IPs
Hi, I have installed a few virtual ip-adresses yesterday to have my webservers and my mailserver on different IPs. Like this: fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 0xfff0 broadcast 192.168.0.15 inet 192.168.0.5 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.5 inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.6 inet 192.168.0.7 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.7 inet 192.168.0.8 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.8 inet 192.168.0.9 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.9 inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.10 inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.11 inet 192.168.0.12 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.12 inet 192.168.0.13 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.13 My server has the 192.168.0.3 and the mailserver should run on 192.168.0.5.

That's not true. I've been using a roll-my-own single UID setup for ages, with no vpopmail or vmailmgr or anything but a custom checkpassword. It works beautifully and I don't have to worry about the security of non-DJB code (except for the cdb-enabled checkpassword, which I wrote myself). Well, the bunch of .qmail-anything files and your custom checkpassword are your virtual user manager than ;-)) For someone with a small set of domains and a user base that doesn't change that often, I'd recommend a single-UID setup. It'll be more secure, and it'll give him a better understanding of how all the pieces of qmail work. I agree regarding the understanding, I don't agree regarding the security. A setup containing of tons of .qmail-anything files and custom checkpassword; where the checkpassword input file and the .qmail-files must be in sync is a bit complicated and a hell to manage, no? It may work for a few users, but with more users... it just gets to complicated. And complicated setups aren't secure usually, simply because the complexity causes the admin to make faults. On the other hand, vmailmgr and vpopmail aren't network daemons, which lowers their security risk a lot. vpopmail seems to be a bit bloated to me (this may be totally wrong, I never used it, it's just my impression from some mails regarding vpopmail on this list), but vmailmgr seems to be fine (I'm mostly trusting Charles selection here ;-) ). qmail-ldap's way of handling virtual users is really straightforward and I don't have any security considerations there. -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

RE: Problems with qmail-remote hanging
This problem's been reported before. If your OS says that an fd is readable via select(), then the read() should not block. As you observe though, the read is blocking so your OS is probably not telling the truth when it returns from the select(). The archives have plenty of discussion on this and the simplest solution is to put a large-value alarm() handler in qmail-remote. No one as yet seems to be able to narrow down which OSes do this and under what circumstances. Mark, Thanks for the reply. I only seem to experience the problem with large mail-outs. One possibility is that because of the way qmail works, there's a significant chance that we will be making a large number of simultaneous connections to some servers. It's possible that this is causing a connection to be blackholed somewhere ... that doesn't explain why select/read are failing to agree, though. Perhaps select thinks the connection is closed, but read doesn't. Setting an alarm is a nasty hack in my opinion, but I have to admit that it's something I considered. A slightly neater solution might be to use the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option - if it works (and there isn't a good reason not to use it) that is. What would be better is finding out why this happens, of course. Thanks, Richard P.S. If anyone is keeping track, Linux 2.2.19, concurrencyremote set to 200

Re: vchkpw password authentication problem
What do your log files say? Are your POP clients configured correctly? The most common problem is forgetting the user%virtualdomain.com syntax for the POP user name. 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= 192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= It seemed to work find (although am I an open-relay now???) Not necessarily. This is an over-simplification, but in essence qmail will only accept mail for domains listed in rcpthosts (whose destination address is not in locals), or from IP's with a cleared RELAYCLIENT. You would have to add: :allow,RELAYCLIENT= to have an open relay. Qmail is closed by default, unlike sendmail. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.

Qmail relaying by bouncing to reply-to
Hi, We've had qmail working splendid for a while, but just got a new problem when the free RBL services were discontinued and there are less sites we refuse based on ip: Apparently, spammers send mails to nonexistent users and rely on qmail bouncing this to the reply-to adress. By setting the reply-to to a suitable adress you get relaying, albeit wrapped in a qmail bounce-message. Now, it is of course possible that we configured everything wrong, so we'll be happy to stand corrected :-) However, as far as I get it, qmail-smtpd never checks for users (like e.g. sendmail that bounces on smtpd-level). I guess we're not the first ones to be hit by this, and it should be specific to qmail, so what should we do? Sincerely, Erik - Erik Lindahl, PhD[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept.

Re: qmail security or email virus?
The security problem is in your setup, not in qmail (just to be clear).
It's not the result of an email virus.
I thought so.
Sounds like you've made your system an open relay, or one of the users
which is trusted to relay through your system has abused your trust.
Where do I set this up? I am running the qmail-1.3 using RedHat 7.x which
is running linux 2.2.16-22
Show us the output of qmail-showctl (unedited), any tcpcontrol files
(/etc/tcp.smtp, etc) which you are using, the script you use to start
qmail-smtpd (through tcpserver), and a snippet of the qmail-send log
showing the spam message being injected into your system.
The output of qmail-showctl is as follows:
me: My name is igoods.com.
percenthack: (Default.) The percent hack is not allowed.
plusdomain: Plus domain name is cnc.net.
qmqpservers: (Default.) No QMQP servers.
queuelifetime: (Default.) Message lifetime in the queue is 604800 seconds.
rcpthosts: (Default.) SMTP clients may send messages to any recipient.
morercpthosts: (Default.) No rcpthosts; morercpthosts is irrelevant.
morercpthosts.cdb: (Default.) No effect.
smtpgreeting: (Default.) SMTP greeting: 220 igoods.com.
smtproutes: (Default.) No artificial SMTP routes.
timeoutconnect: (Default.) SMTP client connection timeout is 60 seconds.
timeoutremote: (Default.) SMTP client data timeout is 1200 seconds.
timeoutsmtpd: (Default.) SMTP server data timeout is 1200 seconds.
virtualdomains: (Default.) No virtual domains.
bkup: I have no idea what this file does.
--- end of the output
as for the tcp control files are concerned, i don't find the file starting
tcp* in the /etc directory. i have to convert /etc/inetd.conf file for the
current linux os - RedHat 7.x. the smtp control file is under xinetd.d directory.
and they are as follows:
the content of /etc/xinetd.d/pop-3
# Converted by inetdconvert
service pop-3
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
server_args = redolive.com /bin/checkpassword
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
disable = no
}
the content of /etc/xinetd.d/smtp
# Converted by inetdconvert
service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= qmaild
server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
disable = no
}
how can i clean up the queue directories since there are more
messages waiting to send out? should i just remove the files from
todo directory?
If qmail is stopped, you could do this. It won't help with messages
that are already preprocessed.
That is fine. do i just remove the files under the todo to stop the further
deliveries.
we have reported the issue to [EMAIL PROTECTED], since our mail server was
hacked.
What do you mean by this? Someone obtained an illegitimate shell
account on your mailserver? If so, they can send as much mail as they
like; no MTA will protect you against that.
I do not think anybody got our shell account. but, somebody used our mail server
to send out bogus bulk emails to more than 1000 people.
i had to send the email to them, since someone accused us sending out
spam emails.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know where they get a hold of these bogus addresses. There's a whole slew of spam-only addresses I get mail for; these addresses have never been valid. It really makes no sense to relay mail this way, since a spammer would have to send one message for each spam recipient. If he does this, he might as well just send the mail directly to his victims.

Re: Problems with qmail-remote hanging
Setting an alarm is a nasty hack in my opinion, but I have to admit that it's something I considered. Well, the qmail-remote connection is well and truly wedged once it's in this state and if the select() timed out as it's meant to, qmail-remote would exit with a delivery failure indication, so it's not that bad a hack. It's also very easy to code - just a single alarm() call at teh top of main(). A slightly neater solution might be to use the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option - if it works (and there isn't a good reason not to use it) that is. It'll be interesting to hear if this works. What would be better is finding out why this happens, of course. Indeed. Does Linux offer tools/syscalls that would tell you why the select worked, but the read failed? P.S. If anyone is keeping track, Linux 2.2.19, concurrencyremote set to 200 I hesitate to say this, but Linux kernels seem to predominate in this regard, but that just may be that qmail is running on more Linux out there than other Unixen. Regards.
Re: qmail security or email virus?
Thanks for replying.
I just installed the tcpserver. since our server does not use
the inetd.conf file anymore instead it is using xinetd.d files.
i converted the inetd.conf file ( with the
tcpserver -v -u 502 -g 500 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
21 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3
)
for the tcpserver, but i don't think it converted the file correctly.
the converted file for tcpserver is as follows:
Converted by inetdconvert
service tcpserver
{
socket_type = -v
protocol= -u
wait= yes
user= -g
server = 500
server_args = 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
disable = no
}
the above does not seem right.
shouldn't it be:
service tcpserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= qmaild
server = tcpserver
server_args = -v -u 502 -g 500 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
21 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3
disable = no
}
i am not sure, if i have the server info correct.

as far as this file is concerned, when i use this, i could not send emails to any
domain that were not included in this file. if this file was used to allow the
users from that domains to send email, it is ok. i just tried the empty file,
it is the same. yes! the rcpthost file came with the default installation, i
deleted because i could not add new host name whenever i need to send an email
to new domain host. rcpthost file does not seem to solve any security issue, since it
will still allow someone to send emails to those in that domain. is this because
i did not configure the qmail correctly? i think, i am not sure what the
rcpthosts is for. is the file(rcpthosts) used to allows only the users from
the domains listed in
rcpthosts to send out email or qmail users are allowed to send out email to
only those listed in the rcpthosts file? my qmail works like the latter case.

Create /etc/tcp.smtp containing the host(s) that you want to allow relaying through the server, e.g: 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= 192.168.3.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= 3. 'Compile the file' tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp /etc/tcp.smtp chmod 644 /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 4.

I'm currently using Qmail+vpopmail What do you mean by work with? In what way would you like qmail and SSH to interact? I want qmail to SSH into the remote mail server, chdir to the mail spool folder of the user I am trying to send e-mail to with root privs, and write the e-mail message directly into their inbox. So set up ssh keys without passphrases to allow your system to do so, make a script that does all that and call it from a .qmail file. The purpose is completely beyond me, however.

Stripping binaries?
I'd like to set up my qmail-based mailhosts to strip attachments automatically, save them to a dir, and put a this attachment saved to /some/path message at the bottom... instead of distributing binaries to all and sundry. Anyone doing this with qmail yet, and/or got any hints? -- ~jv -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] : [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ... threads rolling ... -- http://homepage.mac.com/seclorum/FileSharing.html

I have a busy server, about 3 thousand messages by day, and it happens not all the time, but in a random mode. Somebody has an idea of what are happening?? Andre, Hmm, interesting... I'd be taking a closer look at items such as, - Whether there's any problem with your 'Trigger'; see that /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger, which should be owned by user qmails, group qmail, with permissions prw--w--w- (NB the p at the start for a named pipe). - Try and get some angle on the behaviour of *your* system, and the mails coming into it. Checkout the qmail-qstat command, to see the number of messages in the queue (and whether they're preprocessed). Think about whether you expect most mails to be delivered locally or to be relayed to machines elsewhere; then take a look at your log files to see if that's indeed what's happening. If you're relaying a lot, you may need to increase your concurrencyremote. - Once you've done the above, you might like to post your findings to the list. In particular, the list members will want to know What do the logs say. If you solve the problem, tell us that too... On the (lack of) information you've given us so far, the above can only be broad guesses of where to look. cheers, Andrew.
