SMTP Verify - Opinions?

2003-10-28 Thread Steve Robenalt
Hi all,

I'm new to the list, but have been running James as my mail server for 
several weeks now. I ran across a problem today that would be fixed by 
implementing the SMTP VRFY functionality.

I also read the rationale for "NoFastFail" in the wiki section, but 
didn't see my issue mentioned, so I'm soliciting opinions from anyone 
before I try to implement the VRFY command.

The issue I discovered is one in which one or more spammers have probed 
my James server, determined that their is no verify implemented, and 
begun to send mail from their own server (or possibly an open relay) 
using phony usernames attributed to my domain. Since a fair number of 
emails being sent as spam go to addresses that have been abandoned, I 
have begun to receive a steady stream of postmaster emails (mostly from 
aol) informing me that the spammers email has bounced. If I were to 
enable verify functionality, the spam filters at aol (and other servers) 
could at least determine that the email address was invalid and not feel 
compelled to notify me.

Since spammers are misusing my domain name, it seems that even though I 
am not running James as an open relay, my domain name is at risk of 
being blacklisted as a result of misuse by others. As it happens, the 
email addresses I have configured on my mail server are well known to 
spammers anyway, since they were long ago harvested from internic 
records and/or web pages.

My questions then are:
1) How does this scenario fit in with the "NoFastFail" rationale? Is 
this a possible exception, or am I being too simple-minded?
2) Is this functionality already being built by anyone? (I didn't see it 
in the archives)
3) Is this something that the maintainers of James would like as an 
optional feature. In other words, if I implement it, should I contribute it?

Thanks for any feedback/opinions you can offer...

Maven will not help you with the javamail.jar and activation.jar issues 
because these resources are licensed under the basis that they are 
packaged with an aplication (i.e. like what we do with a sar file or a 
bar file).  As far as building is concernined - then you still need to 
request a manual download.  Aside from that - moving to a maven build 
would be good - all of the cornerstone, excalibur, and avalon framework 
is already on maven and available via repote repositories.  One other 
point - If you running James under Merlin - then Merlin can auto load 
James from a remote repository.

Hi Serge,

I'm not familiar with what mozilla/thunderbird exactly is , but I use 
mozilla's stadard mail client and it allows multiple outgoing servers. I 
can create several outgoing servers and configure each of my incoming 
accounts to send outgoing mail through any one of them. I can't set it 
up so that 1 incoming account can choose between 2 outgoing on the fly 
or anything, but in the configuration I can define x number of mail 
servers and set my incoming accounts to use whichever.

OK.  So not the full site content, just the XML content and images?  So then
the exposure is "only" defacement, page hijacking through a REFRESH

STMP AUTH over SSL.  Moderators would have a password, and SSL would protect
it.

See RFC 2821, section 5: "If no MX records are found, but an A RR is found,

RE: Bug in RemoteDelivery mailet?

2003-10-28 Thread Noel J. Bergman
Long answer:

The MX records are looked up using dnsjava, and should use the DNS servers
that you should (must with James v2.1) configured in SAR-INF/config.xml.
The code can be seen in
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/james-server/src/java/org/apache/james/transpo
rt/mailets/RemoteDelivery.java?annotate=1.33.4.13 on line 288.  That calls
getMailServers on lines 609-618 in
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/james-server/src/java/org/apache/james/James.j
ava?annotate=1.35.4.11.  Finally, you'll be in
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/james-server/src/java/org/apache/james/dnsserv
er/DNSServer.java, starting on line 210.

Short answer: Set the DNS servers in SAR-INF/config.xml and/or try the
latest test build, which will attempt to detect valid DNS servers.

Mike,

This reminds me (again -- I wrote the same thing on October 11, in

org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.findMXRecords(hostname).  You can

findMXRecords() may return simply the hostname from the email address.

So possibly your MX lookup is not working.  I would check first to 
confirm that you have the nameservers configured correctly.

This doesn't help a lot of course, but as we seem to be converging into

Bug in RemoteDelivery mailet?

2003-10-28 Thread Mike Morris
Hi all,

I am trying to track down a possible bug in the RemoteDelivery mailet or 
its dependencies  and could use a little help.

(I am using James 2.1 from the binary distrib., but looking at source 
from CVS head, which may be a problem...)

Symptoms:  For some (usually big -- hotmail, bigfoot, netscape) sites, I 
end up with messages stuck in the outgoing queue, with retries every 
hour until the spooler gives-up.  This is a big problem for me.

As things are, my DNS server happens to be on the same machine as the 
James mailserver; DNS is well configured, and the sites in question are 
being correctly resolved, as are their MX records.

It seems that the RemoteDelivery mailet is trying to connect to the IP 
address that the DNS returns for the domain, and NOT (one of) the 
servers listed as the MX host.  I am pretty sure of this, based on 
watching netstat while James is making the connection.

e.g.  I am sending mail to a user at bigfoot.com (64.15.239.150).  Their 
MX hosts are listed by dig as being at

bigfoot.com.30531   IN  MX  10 mail-kr.bigfoot.com.
bigfoot.com.30531   IN  MX  20 mail.bigfoot.com.
(+ 6 more)
to be found at
mail.bigfoot.com.   29917   IN  A   64.15.239.131
(etc.)
When trying to deliver the message, the mailet connects to 
64.15.239.150:25 instead of 64.15.239.131:25, and, of course, times out 
since there (presumably) is no SMTP server at 64.15.239.150 (confirmed 
by telnetting to it).

Can anyone tell me where and how the MailetContext gets initialised so 
that I can take a look through that code to see if the error is there. 
Of course it may be all the way back in the com.sun.mail.smtp provider, 
since the stack trace provided my the mailet tells me
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out
at 
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.openServer(SMTPTransport.java:911)
...

OH!  I am using JDK1.4.2 on Linux fwiw...

I think what should happen to ensure this level of integrity would be that
moderators should connect to an account on the James instance managing the
doco mail, in which case it means your client has to support ssl. Otherwise
you're at the mercy of the ability of intermediate hops to preserve your
security, and it becomes worthless again.

An other suggestion might be to require moderators to sign and encrypt
their messages with PGP. I know thats it's possible for James to cope with
this, but AFAIK noone has shared any code with us.
