RE: [qmailtoaster] Invalid Email Address Error

[Chris Bird]

Thanks for that.

Well I know it's possible now. 

I have added numerous domains and email addresses to toaster without any
problems it's just this one im having a problem. I did try [EMAIL PROTECTED] as
a test and this worked.

So im sure there must be a setting somewhere that can be configured. Anyone
have any ideas where that might be?

Thanks for your help

Chris

as you can see from my sender-address: It is possible to have a 2-

There must be another issue with your installation

[Jake Vickers]

A new version of Qmailtoaster-Plus is out.  A couple bug fixes:

01/02/08 - Jake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Changed qtp-clean-spam to sudo to vpopmail
- before learning spam. Also added /var/spool/authdaemon to the
 - branchlist in qtp-build-sandbox to fix a bug caused with CentOS 5.1

Re: [qmailtoaster] can't send test message to myself

[Ben Mills]

Filtering on missing rDNS and rDNS that doesn't resolve to the hostname 
is one of the few spam-fighting tools available. Spamassassin and 
blacklists such as Spamhaus's bundled xbl help to some extent, but their 
abilities are limited.


Several years ago, AOL started filtering rDNS. If it didn't resolve, it 
rejected the connection. Since then virtually all the big ISPs and most 
of the smaller ISPs that have modern MTA software filter rDNS. My logs 
show that every single rejection based on rDNS is garbage mail--no 
collateral damage.


I do agree that most ISPs won't delegate rDNS. But if you're using a 
biz-class service, they'll gladly set the rDNS for you. Those who buy 
class C service do get it delegated.

If you decide to block by no Rdns, you should expect problems getting mail from 
some of the medium to lower level legitimate post offices.  In fact, I would 
bet better than half of the Qmail users here don't have their Rdns setup 
correctly and would be blocked by no Rdns filters.

RE: [qmailtoaster] can't send test message to myself

[Phil Leinhauser]

Like anything else we do in this industry, the usual disclaimer or "Your
mileage may vary" always applies.  I've tried the rDNS blocking but it just
was too big of a hammer for me.  I got tired of the calls from customers.  I
would have to say that by far using the right combination of RBLs and
filters is the best I have found.

Just for kicks, I'll share what my config looks like:
2- Symantec Mail security for SMTP gateways servers running parallel
Each receive about 10,000 connections an hour during the week, less
on weekends.  Out of those 10k- 8,000 are rejected connections from RBL and
MX lookup and a bit less than 2,000 are rejected by spam filters.  This
comes to a around 2% is allowed in.  

Then I have the QMT server do the finish scanning but that seems to only be
catching about 2% as spam.

I've been at this game since the mid 80's.  I've learned the very valuable
lesson that it's much better to let a few spam slip through then to
mistakenly kill 1 legitimate message.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you.  You are correct: getting your 
ISP to delegate rDNS control can be difficult.  But ISPs are willing to 
do that for "business class" accounts.

On my own servers, approximately 30% of all connections are rejected due 
to missing rDNS.  I also filter connections whose rDNS names don't 
resolve to IP addresses -- that stops another 10%-30%.  Interestingly, 
the very few servers I've whitelisted have failed the second test 
(unresolvable rDNS), not the first.

I also use DNS RBLs, my own blacklists, rDNS name filtering (searching 
the rDNS name for the IP address) and graylisting to block more than 
99.9% of all connections.  My email address has been listed on public 
web pages and mailing list archives since 1997.  Spammers know who I am. 
  But thanks to the filtering I get, on average, 1 spam every day.

Of course every mail server administrator has to decide their own 
policies but it's worth mentioning that most of the big mail providers 
(AOL, Yahoo!, etc) filter based on missing rDNS.  That makes it easier 
to defend rDNS filtering if you get any complaints.

Phil
  

I'm agreed with you
sorry, just sharing my experience and feeling about qmailtoaster.

when  I chosed qmailtoaster it's because old mailserver dont have any 
spamfilter
(actually there is but it's using commercial software were later bought 
by Microsoft -RAV-, then they discontinue the support)
users, boss, and my bigboss always complain about the spam almost every 
weeks.


with qmailtoaster I'm happy with it got the modular system, so I can add 
other apps easily (it's my first time setup a mailserver)
and with help from everyone on the milist I was too anxious to setup a 
nospam mailserver.

at first below antispam filter that are activated on my server:
-- greylisting (active)
-- RBLs (active and use more then 1 rblsmtpd provider)
-- chkuser (active)
-- simscan (active)
-- clamav w/ SaneSecurity + SecuriteInfo Signature (active)
-- spamassassin (active)
--- SURBL (active)
--- FuzzyOcr (active)
--- SARE's imageinfo and pdfinfo (active)
--- Openprotect (active)
--- pyzor (active)
-- spambox option (active)

but after few months users complain about one or two legitimate that 
they never receive and wandering why they tagged as ***SPAM***
then I must add recipient domain SA whitelist, add the IP on DNS 
whitelist (so it wont reject by rblsmptd),
notify the users to check their SPAM folder or send the legitimate email 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

but there is always incident users can't rvcd legitimate email.
until one day a high-rank user complain his email from vendor/partner 
(which contain asian chars) almost never been rcvd.
my bigboss asked to fix it right away, telling me not to make the filter 
too tight (he never praise me that now he got less spam)

afterthat below are filters that activated on my server:

-- RBLs (active, only use spamhaus)
-- simscan (active)
-- clamav w/ SaneSecurity + SecuriteInfo Signature (active)
-- spamassassin (active)
--- SURBL (active)
--- SARE's imageinfo and pdfinfo (active)
--- Openprotect (active)

after removing some filters until now no users complaining that he never 
rcvd legitimate email. I can back become lazy-admin


spamdyke is really complete (and complex) anti-spam tool for me..
when spamdyke is officially included on qmailtoaster, I'll be using it also
but for now,  SA + clamav is enough for me.
just lets the tools and options there
and admins can choose their weapon to fight spam

Yea, logs.  

I would also start to figure out what it didn't like, was it the sender

The bottom line is what works for the customer.  Good points from both sides 
but the bottom line is what you need to accomplish your goal may not be the 
same as someone else.  It's also good for the new users to see that even the 
seasoned veterans can't settle on the right formula because there is no "one 
size fits all".

Re: [qmailtoaster] can't send test message to myself

[Dan McAllister]

OK... this got me thinking... what are we overlooking

Are you sure your mail server (from whom you're trying to send a test 
message) is using DNS correctly? (not serving... USING)


Check your /etc/resolv.conf file... is should look like this:
   search mylocaldomain.name
   nameserver 192.168.0.2

NOTE: the IP address should be your own... just to be sure, you could 
also use 127.0.0.1


Just because your system is a DNS server, doesn't mean you definitely 
want it (the DNS server) to use itself as the server... you can force 
your server to get "outside" resolutions by using an outside DNS 
server... E.g.:

   search mylocaldomain.name
   nameserver 4.2.2.2

(The 4.2.2.2 address is a Verizon DNS server that is "open" to requests 
-- even from non-Verizon IP addresses. It'll also respond to a PING, so 
that's an easy IP address to file away in your limited mind-space!)


I hope this helps...

Cameron:

If you are using SpamDyke, or another anti-spam, you may need to 
create a PTR record for your DNS: that is, make the Internet (Public) 
IP Address of your server reverse-resolve to something like 
bstastjohns.com (or, if you ONLY do mail on that IP Address, 
mail.bstastjohns.com -- I prefer the former).


The reason is that one commonly used anti-spam technique used today 
is a check for a valid reverse-dns entry.


NOTE that, unless your IP address is a Register.com IP address (e.g.: 
they are your hosting company for your server), you'll need to 
contact your ISP to make this PTR entry! The "pathway" for resolving 
an IP address's PTR entry goes through your ISP, not your domain name.


For now, I suggest removing any spam-blocking & making sure your 
ports are open (no iptables active, if necessary, ports forwarded 
through firewall/router).


Hope this helps!

I see your DNS is at register.com.  You have an A record for your 
web site and that is working fine.  Now you need to setup the MX 
record because when I query the DNS for one, it comes back empty.   
Look in your DNS control panel in the register.com where you setup 
the www.  You should see something about an MX or Mail Exchanger 
record.

EVERYONE in a domain!


Unfortunately Cameron, you're going to have to make a list... the good 
news is that you should be able to do this with the vpopmail CLI 
commands in a shell script rather easily.

HINT:
1) create a list ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
2) write a shell script to use the command "vuserinfo -D mydomain.name" 
and pipe the output into ezmlm-sub


I hope this helps!

As always, the repo package, release notes, and latest version are

Try upgrading your multitail package. That seems to be a really old 
version; on my Cent 4.6 box I have:

multitail-4.2.0-1.el4.rf
And on my Fedora Core 4 machine I have:
multitail-4.2.0-1.fc4

So I'm not sure how you got version 3.8.7.

Re: [qmailtoaster] qmailtoaster-plus-0.2.14-1.3.19 is released

[seekuel]

Sir,

Multitail is a dependency for watch, it was not installed in my system. When I 
intalled multitail that fixed the error.

Thank you sir.
