[qmailtoaster] Re: Is it possible with Qmail

2011-02-04 Thread Eric Shubert

I'm glad to know that, Anil.

It looks to me as though someone took a feature list from Exchange, and 
made them requirements. Of course, most other email servers don't have 
these features, because frankly, they're not something that's necessary, 
or really even desirable.


In the interest of reality, they could also have added:
6.Anti-spam capability must be an additional cost, and marginally effective.
7.Server reliability is spotty.
8.Admin of server will be a full time position that is difficult to fill 
due to frustrating environment.


You'll need to decide for yourself what it's worth to you to serve this 
customer. If they're bent on getting Exchange, that's what they'll get, 
and they'll deserve it.


My opinion is that if you're really acting in your customer's best 
interest, you'll try to help them understand why Exchange is not 
something that they should want. This is largely a process of education.


Good luck (seriously).

[qmailtoaster] Re: Forcing TLS on port 587

2011-02-04 Thread Eric Shubert
I think the idea here is to keep clients from inadvertently using a 
configuration that would result in their password being sent in the 
clear. This is in order to enforce, as opposed to simply allowing, a 
good security policy.


Dovecot has such a configuration option:
# Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless
# SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that if the remote IP
# matches the local IP (ie. you're connecting from the same computer), the
# connection is considered secure and plaintext authentication is allowed.
#disable_plaintext_auth = no
disable_plaintext_auth = yes

out).  Is there any way with the toaster to enforce TLS usage, and
reject any mail that's not TLS.  We'd like to stick with TLS so we
don't have to reconfigure everyone's mail clients for SMTPS, which is
deprecated at any rate.

I did not read carefully about SSL configuration of Jeremy's company, so 
I supposed TLS as anti-spam additional feature against public usage of 
MX servers, and did not consider simply the security side about passwords.


Anyway, the force auth feature of chkuser is still valid.

Actually, can't most if not all email server packages such as 
QmailToaster do these things?


1.Every incoming  outgoing messages must have unique number generated 
at server level.



Doesn't this correspond to the Message-ID header field?

2.Every incoming  outgoing message track/ status should be maintained 
and administrator can monitored the overall log.



QmailToaster doesn't log everything in one file, but it still logs.  A 
competent admin can figure out what's going on with a specific message.


3.Admin can maintain user profile and grouping.


An admin can control what user accounts exist on the toaster and can configure 
mailing lists, forwards, aliases, etc.


4.Admin can review overall / user wise activities.


Once again, QmailToaster logs pretty much everything and an admin can monitor 
the logs.

There is a time and a place for Exchange, but if all they intend to do
is email, that's not it.

Exchange can be time consuming on the administrative end if the company
has more than say 10 - 20 inboxes/accounts (especially as the
information store grows).

If they don't directly need the calendar/journal/shared info and
extensive addressbook, don't go Exchange (not worth it as a strict
MTA/email server).

I agree with Eric that it looks like someone copied the feature list of
Exchange (or similar).

There are a lot of logs that most people don't use available in Qmail
Toaster.  Those might already do what you need.

In different ways, and to varying degrees.


1.Every incoming  outgoing messages must have unique number generated
at server level.

That's what I thought at first, but I believe the Message-ID field is 
generated by the client that originates the message, not the server.



2.Every incoming  outgoing message track/ status should be maintained
and administrator can monitored the overall log.


QmailToaster doesn't log everything in one file, but it still logs. A
competent admin can figure out what's going on with a specific message.


True. There is no single log, but that can be considered a strength as 
well as a weakness.



3.Admin can maintain user profile and grouping.


An admin can control what user accounts exist on the toaster and can
configure mailing lists, forwards, aliases, etc.


True. I don't think that the grouping part is really handled though, 
where you could specify a group profile, then assign various users to be 
members of a group. AD type of stuff.



4.Admin can review overall / user wise activities.


Once again, QmailToaster logs pretty much everything and an admin can
monitor the logs.


True enough. It's just a little cumbersome to see a particular user's 
activities. A little creative use of qmlog though goes a long way. The 
information can be obtained, it's just not in a pretty pre-baked form.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Is it possible with Qmail

2011-02-04 Thread Dan McAllister
Actually, if you want to get TECHNICAL, most of those things can also be 
done in QMT:


1 - a Unique Message ID is created when the server receives each message 
-- and the message ID is the filename used by VPOPMAIL to store the 
message (or at least PART of the filename). Of course, to SEE the 
message ID (file name, etc), you'll need access to the QMail files and 
folders.


2 - Tracking  Status are handled by the QMail logging feature -- and 
detailed logs are kept for each process. You can adjust the level of 
detail. The only tricky part is that the Admin user who wants to view 
these logs will need shell access, or else web access to the log folders 
 files.


3 - Using QMT and the VPOPMAIL utilities, an Admin can easily maintain 
and modify the settings (including quotas) for each user


4 - Here's the tricky one... Using shell commands and the QMail logs, an 
Admin certainly can determine overall user activity -- but the logs will 
need to be more detailed than the default setting, and the Admin will 
need a shell account in addition to the QMail account.


So you see, depending on how you INTERPRET the requirements, QMT can 
satisfy the requirements with little change!


There ARE ways to outsmart even LAZY requirements writers (e.g.: the 
ones that copy requirements from feature lists!)


Just my thoughts...

Dan
IT4SOHO

PS: Throw in an additional kicker -- QMT can support separate Admins for 
each Domain -- so that different e-mail domain admins can be completely 
locked out of domains that they are NOT admins for.

4 - Here's the tricky one... Using shell commands and the QMail logs, an
Admin certainly can determine overall user activity -- but the logs will
need to be more detailed than the default setting, and the Admin will
need a shell account in addition to the QMail account.

So you see, depending on how you INTERPRET the requirements, QMT can
satisfy the requirements with little change!

There ARE ways to outsmart even LAZY requirements writers (e.g.: the
ones that copy requirements from feature lists!)

Just my thoughts...

PS: Throw in an additional kicker -- QMT can support separate Admins for
each Domain -- so that different e-mail domain admins can be completely
locked out of domains that they are NOT admins for.

 Dear Eric,

 Yes these requirements are made by the customer. I know exchange 
 server has all these features but just wanted to check if other mail 
 servers like Qmail etc. can provide all these features or not as 
 Exchange Server will be a costly affair.

Have you tried with no space between -tf and the argument?
# qmHandle '-tft...@mail.com'
That's the only other thing I've thought of short of looking at the

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: upon reboot the webserver is goofed

you do not have to reboot the server in the future to fix this issue.  Just 
reboot the service service httpd restart and it will happily ask you 
for the phrase again.

I think Jim's talking about the server side key/certificate. The 
certificate that you have configured apparently has a password associated 
with it. Is this a self signed cert, or one you purchased?



Yes that is exactly it.
and all is well
I had my pass phrase documented
[ i always keep my feathers numbered for just such a situation ]
i rebOOted and gave the proper response

but thanks much for the info , all the info

a happy ending

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Forcing TLS on port 587

2011-02-04 Thread Jeremy Utley
On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 1:54 PM, Eric Shubert e...@shubes.net wrote:
 I'd be very careful with this one, CJ.
 You need to keep 25 open for incoming (inter-domain) mail. ;)

 If QMT doesn't have the patch for the FORCE_TLS option, it'd be nice if it
 did. This is something I'd also like to see on the submission instance of
 qmail-smtp.

 Can you round up that patch? If you can give it a try, that'd be great. If
 not, please post here where to get it so someone (hopefully other than Jake)
 can give it a shot to see if it clashes with any other patches we're using.

I did some additional searching around, and unfortunately, I couldn't
find anyplace that had *JUST* this patch.  It's part of the version 6
and above of John Simpson's qmail mega-patch, as documented at:
http://qmail.jms1.net/patches/combined-details.shtml near the bottom
of the page.



*A self-written patch to add a real FORCE_TLS capability, for those
who want a non-SSL server but don't want it to be able to accept mail
without STARTTLS happening first. Creating an envrionment variable
called FORCE_TLS with a numeric value greater than zero enables this
behaviour.


I'm not all that much of a C coder, but I might be able to try next
week to possibly port this patch into the qmail-toaster SRPM.  I
scanned the big patch, and it honestly looks like there's only about 5
lines of changes involved with the FORCE_TLS coding.  It would take me
a lot of work however, and it might be quite easy for one of you who
has better coding capability to pick out what's involved to implement
this option.

If I do get a chance to play with it and make it work, I'll certainly
contribute the patch back to the project!

Thanks!

Jeremy
