RE: [qmailtoaster] server overload

[Sergio Minini {NETKEY}]

Thanks Dan & Eric.
Entries where made exactly as you told me, and I double checked it with what you
sent here.
I did a full stop when I added this, and the server was rebooted for other
reasons a couple of days after.

But on Monday we had an unusual overload, and I though if it might be somehow
related to the change of settings.
I couldnt make sense why or how.

Maybe it was just an unusual overload...

Thanks- Sergio

[qmailtoaster] Some basic config questions

[Sergio Minini {NETKEY}]

Hi List,
I was wondering if there is a way to limit the size of attachments that my
users/remote senders can send through this box.
 
And how about limiting the number of recipients for each message? 
What is less hard on the server: sending a mail to 50 rcpts or 5 mails to 10
each?
 
Thanks! Sergio
 
PS: This kind of config would be great if we could make it from the new Web UI.

You can limit the size of attachments via
/var/qmail/control/databytes. You can set there the max amount of
bytes you'll accept. Be carefull with this value, becouse it counts
the complete mail. You should increment it in a 50% aprox. from your
max attachment size.

You can control it modifying chkuser settings in tcprules file. There you have:
CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT: max number of recipients accepted
CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT: max number of WRONG recipients accepted

It hasn't been updated to explain the unionfs capabilities in the latest
version, but it's otherwise still applicable. Undoubtedly the safest way to
upgrade, with the least amount of downtime.

After modifying it, you have to run "service qmail cdb".
You can also control some other paremeters (such as relaying, rbls,
domainkeys, etc.) per IP.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Activate imap access for update ip list in relay table

[Dan McAllister]

Paolo

I'm afraid I do NOT know of a way to make the QMT IMAP server 
(courierIMAP) do what you want (so you can do an IMAP before SMTP kind 
of thing) however:


IMHO, you should be using authenticated smtp instead of pop-before-smtp 
(that is, make the users provide a username/password before sending -- 
it is already "configured" for that in the QMT, and the 
username/password combo is the same as for the POP or IMAP account). 
Users just have to check an extra box when configuring their email.


Now, to get on my HIGH HORSE... Personally, I think that POP3 & IMAP4 
are two of the most DANGEROUS protocols we (as admins) allow on our 
systems! Why? Because by default, each of these sends the 
username/password information in cleartext over the open Internet. My 
systems do not accept POP3 (port 110) or IMAP4 (port 143) connections 
except from LAN hosts. Instead, I FORCE SSL connections (port 995 for 
POP, 993 for IMAP). The drawback is that you need to have a REAL SSL 
certificate installed, or else your users will get a warning message 
about an invalid certificate every time their Outlook makes an initial 
connection to the server.


REAL SSL Certificates are a small pain (and a small price to pay) for 
the added security -- but I've been happy with RegisterFly's reseller 
price of $10/year (I charge my clients $25 to account for my extra time 
setting them up). NOTE: Last time I checked, RegisterFly.com had some 
REAL customer service problems -- so much so that they lost their ICANN 
certification as a Domain Registrar. That MAY have been resolved (there 
is no longer a warning banner on their website), but I've NEVER had a 
problem with an SSL certificate -- it's all automated, and other than 
having some "proof of identity" issues, I've been VERY happy with 
RegisterFly. (I contemplated moving ALL my domains over there, until I 
read about them loosing their ICANN certification!)


Anyway -- if anyone knows of a cheaper way to get a valid SSL 
Certificate, let me know!


OK... so now I'm getting OFF my HIGH HORSE! :-)

Finally, if you're intimidated with the whole PKI (Public Key 
Infrastructure) and want help getting & installing an SSL Certificate, 
contact me off-list and I'll be happy to help (for a normal consulting fee).


I hope this helps SOMEONE!

[qmailtoaster] How to not forward messages marked as spam

[curt . qt]

Still no luck on this one - there are apparently 0 options for a "forward" line
in the .qmail file. An account is set up to either forward using &[address], or
to not forward at all.

Is there no way to forward ONLY IF the message meets certain criteria? (i.e.
$subject !~/\*\*\* SPAM \*\*\*/)

This has become a huge issue, particularly for blackberry users.

I'd look into customizing the /etc/mail/mailfilter script. It's part of the
maildrop-toaster package, so if you change it, be sure to keep a backup copy
handy because any changes would probably be clobbered by an upgrade of that
package.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Activate imap access for update ip list in relay table

[Eric "Shubes"]

Thanks for the words of wisdom, Dan. It is a little disturbing that the
stock toaster is insecure in that regard, and people should be aware of it.
Unfortunately, I don't have a simple solution.

I'd like to point out though that there is an alternative to getting a
commercially signed certificate. Certificates can be self-signed by creating
your own Certificate Authority (CA) and signing your own certificate
requests. The drawback of course is that email clients won't initially
recognize your certificate or your CA, but some client programs (I know that
Thunderbird is one, and I'm not sure about Outlook) allow you to import/save
the CA/certificate so that the user isn't prompted with a warning each time.
This solution would only be practical for self-contained businesses, and not
the public at large.

Another option for signing certificates for free is CaCert.org, which signs
certificates for free. Unfortunately, they are not a recognized CA (yet) by
most clients.

HTH (someone, as you say!)

Re: [qmailtoaster] How to not forward messages marked as spam

[curt . qt]

I already tried modifying /etc/mail/mailfilter to get it to
dump local spam and TRY to abort the procedure. Here's what I inserted directly
after reading in
$VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter. If the user's .mailfilter contains the line
SPAMFORWARDDROP=1, the following executes:

if((/^X-Spam-Status: Yes/:h) && ($SPAMFORWARDDROP == 1))
{
log "Message deleted as specified by .mailfilter\n"
exception {
to "/home/vpopmail/domains/[the 
domain]/postmaster/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
log "=== END ===\n"
EXITCODE=1
exit
}

This works perfectly without having to modify the smtp delivery pipe, but the
next line in .qmail which contains the forward (&[address]) still executes.

I've also tried setting EXITCODE=99 - no difference.

I'd look into customizing the /etc/mail/mailfilter script. It's part of the
maildrop-toaster package, so if you change it, be sure to keep a backup copy
handy because any changes would probably be clobbered by an upgrade of that

[lordfuknowsyou]

Hello list.

I am sorry that this topic has been covered before, I know, but I am 
stuck.. Please bear with me.


Incoming mail works fine. I have a proper MX record.

# dig mx miekungfu.com | grep MX
;miekungfu.com. IN  MX
miekungfu.com.  42532   IN  MX  5 mail.miekungfu.com.

Everything resolves fine.

The problem occurs when I try and send out from the local machine. I 
have a ~/.forwarders file that should forward my logs etc to the account 
specified and that is what alerted me that something isn't right as I 
have not recieved any forwarded logs.


So a simple

#echo "test" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

fails with the message below.
Of note:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  <-- why this, I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  <--again,this isn't a valid address
And a few other entries untill I get the error as in the title of this mail.

Incoming mail works fine. I have a proper MX record.

# dig mx miekungfu.com | grep MX
;miekungfu.com. IN  MX
miekungfu.com.  42532   IN  MX  5 mail.miekungfu.com.

Everything resolves fine.

The problem occurs when I try and send out from the local machine. I 
have a ~/.forwarders file that should forward my logs etc to the account 
specified and that is what alerted me that something isn't right as I 
have not recieved any forwarded logs.


So a simple

#echo "test" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

fails with the message below.
Of note:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  <-- why this, I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  <--again,this isn't a valid address
And a few other entries untill I get the error as in the title of this 
mail.



cat locals
MAIL.MIEKUNGFU.COM



Add "localhost" to your locals file.  Or else use "mail.miekungfu.com" 
when sending mail to root.

[qmailtoaster] mail not being delivered to all users

[John]

   I manage an ezmlm list via qmailtoaster for a non-profit and I'm 
getting reports that not all users are receiving emails from the list. 
I've checked the dns report for the specific domain name and no 
problems. This may be getting off topic but I'm trusting many of you 
have lots of experience with DNS and rDNS: if I lookup the IP address on 
dnstuff.com I get this:


IP address: 65.111.170.76
Reverse DNS:76-170-111-65.serverpronto.com.
Reverse DNS authenticity:   [Could be forged: hostname 
76-170-111-65.serverpronto.com. does not exist]


I use everydns.net for DNS hosting. Should I add this server name to the 
list? Or do I need to coordinate with serverpronto on that? FYI I've 
already checked the common blacklists and this IP isn't listed, although 
Earthlink informed me that they may have been blocking it if my IP 
address was previously used by spammers. On that subject, I thought rbl 
checks were done in real-time?

Add "localhost" to your locals file.  Or else use "mail.miekungfu.com" 
when sending mail to root.

I think I now understand where I am completely off base.
I believe I am encountering this error because of the following reasons.

1. Dot forward files are ignored and I need the dot forward package to 
read them


2. qmail will not send to root

Is this the reason for my weird bounce loops? This is only what I have 
concluded over the last couple hours, please correct me if I am wrong.

Re: [qmailtoaster] mail not being delivered to all users

[Ben Mills]

John, You need to have your ISP set your rDNS to emerald.boubion.com . 
Many MTAs won't accept messages from foreign hosts that have unresolvable

rDNS or an rDNS which contains an IP.
