Re: [qmailtoaster] help getting tmomail.net MMS messages -- "invalid sender" issues

2007-06-10 Thread Jean-Paul van de Plasse 
There is an other way, but that does imply you disable all checks on the email 
adres format.
add SENDER_NOCHECK="1" to your tcprules file, for either the mailserver ip you 
have these problems with or if your dare to your default line.
I have been running this for sometime now since I do not see too much problems 
with the format of the sender.
As far as I can see there are no files created based on the sender name and 
thus I do not see the risks, but I am not saying there are none!!

Do not forget to run qmailctl cdb
after you made the changes.

Regards,

JP

Coincidentally, I just had this same issue come up.  According to RFC
2822, a forward slash apparently is a valid character in an address -
http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2822/Output/chapter3.html#dot-atom.

Am I reading this wrong?

In the Chkuser documentation,

http://www.interazioni.it/opensource/chkuser/documentation/chkuser_settings.html#MX_format_checking
there is apparently an environment variable you can set called
"CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_xxx" where you can tell it to allow certain 
characters, but a "/" isn't one of them.

Did the original poster ever come up with a solution other than
recompiling Chkuser?

Re: [qmailtoaster] help getting tmomail.net MMS messages -- "invalid sender" issues

2007-06-01 Thread Adam Cantwell 

Need some help getting tmomail.net MMS messages into my qmail
server.  Gmail.com has
apparently overcome the "invalid sender" issues which are blocked by
chkuser.  Mail to
earthlink.net  also succeeds.

My qmail / vpopmail:  vpopmail-toaster-5.4.13-1.3.3  Uses chkuser:  v.
2.0.8 for vpopmail > 5.3.x

Email server blocks MMS email from tmomail.net

e.g. # grep -i 'invalid sender address format' Log  |  tai64nlocal
   Log /var/log/qmail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Produces "invalid sender address format" for the TMOMAIL MMS email..

2007-05-28 21:31:54.930953500 CHKUSER rejected sender:  from \
   <1805nnn/[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote
 \


I get the same thing when a user I have tries to send using his Tmobile
phone. Whats happening is the / in the username; what chkuser is seeing is
"1805nnn/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the username. It doesn't like the
slash. You can recompile chkuser to accept these, if you don't mind
opening a security risk like that (actually, I'm not 100% positive you can
allow a / or not...).

[qmailtoaster] help getting tmomail.net MMS messages -- "invalid sender" issues

2007-05-29 Thread Everett F Batey at91 


Need some help getting tmomail.net MMS messages into my qmail  
server.  Gmail.com has
apparently overcome the "invalid sender" issues which are blocked by  
chkuser.  Mail to

earthlink.net  also succeeds.

My qmail / vpopmail:  vpopmail-toaster-5.4.13-1.3.3  Uses chkuser:  v. 
2.0.8 for vpopmail > 5.3.x


Email server blocks MMS email from tmomail.net

e.g. # grep -i 'invalid sender address format' Log  |  tai64nlocal
  Log /var/log/qmail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Produces "invalid sender address format" for the TMOMAIL MMS email..

2007-05-28 21:31:54.930953500 CHKUSER rejected sender:  from \
  <1805nnn/[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote  
 \
  rcpt <> : invalid sender address format***
nnn is substituted for anonimity   ***


Notwithstanding the enormity of RFC's which define left-hand-part  
(user) of To addresses, no

clear case is clarified for sender (from addresses).

Hard to imagine T-mobile changing the sender format issues.  Guessing  
that good SPAM

management needs to block doubtful senders passing in, wholesale.

Any ideas welcome ...
