Re: [qmailtoaster] reverse dns
I'm running several servers on dynamic IP's. The reverse DNS is not important for those. Your upstream provider should be able to provide you with a mail server you can relay through. QT is setup to do that with no issues. As for DNS I use http://xpertdns.com It is $6.95 a year for 1 to 5 domains. They have a web interface that is simple to use and I control everything. Their nameservers are hosted in two different parts of the country. Something I feel is important. They also support dynamic IP. I personally feel that using static IPs is just bad policy. Sometime soon I will share with this group a disaster recorvery plan I'm working on for my clients.

[qmailtoaster] Stupid ISP's.
Today is my day for dealing with stupidity. First item is my ISP (centurytel) has decided to do header re-writes on outbound mail. Every piece of mail leaving my server had the from address re-wrote to be from my fully qualified server name. So much for having virtual domains on my box. When I called and bitched they stated it was to cut down on forged spam headers. I politely explained that they should implement smtp authentication and to leave my headers alone. They were clueless. Fortunately a friend has a server co-located at godaddy. I setup smtp authorization on it and I'm back up and running. The second clueless ISP is Clearwire. After spending the good part of the weekend trying to figure out why inbound mail and web were not working I called tech support. The guy on the phone told me they block those ports for dynamic IP. For only $10 a month more I can get a static IP and they will open up port 25, but not port 80. After talking with a supervisor he tells me they wont open the port and the only people who can authorize it are the network operations center. He is not allowed to connect me to them or give me the phone number. I ask him to show me on the website where they state they do any port blocking. After fumbling about for 5 minutes he tells me to search for legal and I will find a service agreement that states they have the right to protect their network. Clueless. I'm not letting clearwire off the hook. They completely misrepresented the service. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is close to what I was able to do. The Razor2-Client package made
a significant improvement on my Fedora install. Even after installing
the RPM package for it spamassassin still showed it not installed.
The package names for a yum install are perl-Razor-Agent
perl-IO-Socket-SSL perl-Mail-SPF-Query perl-IO-Socket-INET6 if anyone
wants to give it a shot.
Spamassassin still operates, just not as efficiently.

Since my software is the primary application I'm willing to tinker a bit to get other stuff working properly. I just ordered in another box to do some testing with. I'm going to setup K12LTSP 6.0 which is based on FDR6 and see what issues I run into. I have a new client that this would be a perfect fit for. Especially for terminals in his warehouse. I did test out installing toaster under Centos. I used an old laptop I had and the install went like a charm. If it were not for my other needs I would choose it in a heartbeat. For a dedicated mail server I certainly recommend it. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [qmailtoaster] DEVEL PACKAGE: qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.9.src.rpm
Thanks for posting these. I've installed them on my test box (fdr60). Will post if I see any oddities. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Re[2]: [qmailtoaster] postfix end of data error
Thanks for the update and patch. I've installed them and also set DKDEBUG. I looked through qmail-dk code (and did searches) but I don't seem to be able to find where to control the scope of my outgoing signatures. Is that something that is just not implemented yet? - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[qmailtoaster] Some notes on fdr60
Don't know if anyone else is using Fedora Core 6, but here are some notes. The install docs say to do a yum update after installing toaster. My experience so far is to do that right after installing the OS. For some reason the fdr60-install-script.sh has vqadmin-toaster commented out. I fix that before running it. Spamassassin was missing some perl modules. You have to setup the dries repository and then: yum --enablerepo=dries install perl-IP-Country perl-libwww-perl \ perl-Crypt-SSLeay perl-Razor-Agent perl-Net-Ident pyzor Trying to install those through PAM does not seem to work properly. I'm not a a perl guy so I can't give an answer to that one. Running spamassassin -D --lint showed the missing perl modules and pyzor. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[qmailtoaster] postfix end of data error
Not sure where to start looking for this. Here is a copy of the error that a sending system received: Final-Recipient: rfc822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host dbserver.ezdray.com[69.29.246.116] said: 554 mail server permanently rejected message (#5.3.0) (in reply to end of DATA command) This is a bounce report from one of the mailing lists I'm on. In going through the logs I've found several messages (all from mailing lists) that show received but never made it to my inbox. Any ideas? - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [qmailtoaster] Toaster at School
You could add an expiration date to the user record in mysql. You would still have to delete the account on your own, but simple script would take care of the issue. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do I use the private key that is in the /var/qmail/control/domainkeys/hwy39.net or do I have to create a public one. Further more do I just insert this in the zone config or do i need to create a seperate file. This is one thing where the documentation falls down. I had the same issue. Bottom line. You need two TXT records in your DNS. The first will be an entry for _domainkey in your hwy39.net zone. It tells the other mail servers what your domainkey policy is. Mine contains o=-\; [EMAIL PROTECTED] The o means the domain signs all email and the r is the responsible party address. The second DNS entry is a text record containing your public key. If you followed the directions verbatim you should have a directory /var/qmail/control/domainkeys/hw39.net In that directory you will have two files. One is called private the other is hwy39.net-dk.txt. The txt file is the public key to put in the DNS entry. You will create an entry called private._domainkey with the TXT value in the file. The reason it is called private is because that is the name on your private key. If you send out mail under other domain names you will need to create a directory and key under domainkeys for each domain you handle. Took me a couple of minutes to figure that one out. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I get around this by using dyndns's mailhop service. Both customdns and mailhop are very affordable. I cheat. I'm going to install three servers this weekend and I have each configured to acts as hops for the others. As for the black list the trick is to use your ISP's mail server as an outgoing relay. In my case I'm on centurytel and in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes I have one entry (without the quotes) :mail.nw.centurytel.net My spf record is v=spf1 a include:centurytel.net ~all I've only had this running at home for about a week.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Qmail Toaster on the internet
That's pretty cool. I'm at least responsible for a couple of those. I've managed to convince some of my friends that handling your email at home is the best policy. I use a company called xpertdns.com to handle the DNS because they are cheap, do dynamic dns and support the txt records for domainkeys. So far so good. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
