[xmail] esmtp time out - not yet solved

2003-06-12 Thread Henrik Steffen


Hello Davide,

unfortunately after the update to 1.16pre01 and reactivating
the CheckMailerDomain-feature our customers are crying again,
that they get the esmtp timeout.

disabling CheckMailerDomain solves the problem for the moment,
but shouldn't this be fixed with 1.16pre01?

>From looking at your code (SMTPUtils.cpp ll 2000-2020) I can
see that you have changed the order of the checks: First
the MX-Check, then - if MX-Check fails - the A-Check.

Is it possible, that the MX-Check itself causes the timeout?

We are running bind as nameserver for these domains on the
same machine, so there should not be such a timeout.

Do you have any idea?

Tracing it with a packet sniffer gives the same results
as before: It hangs after MAIL FROM is issued by the client.

This is a well-known issue in the security community. It's also one of the 
reasons why NetBIOS ports are so often blocked at border routers...:)

[xmail] Re: how can I send to AOL users

2003-06-12 Thread Kirk Friggstad

I'm not so sure that turning off RDNS for dial-up/dynamic is a good idea.
RDNS checks aren't just used by SMTP relay blockers. For example: until a
few years ago, it was illegal in the United States for a company to "export"
high encryption (that's a whole other story, though), so download sites for
high encryption products in the U.S. had to use RDNS checks to confirm that
the person downloading was from the U.S. or Canada. (The reason I remember
this so well is that the non-profit ISP that I volunteered with (and had my
dial-up access through) had problems with RDNS, and so I was unable to
download encryption products (at that point in time, 128-bit Netscape
Navigator - gads, that was a while ago) until we got the RDNS fixed.)

For another example (just discovered this today at
http://www.mynetwatchman.com/kb/security/ports/17/137.htm - scroll down to
the "False Positives" section at the end) - on a Windows web server, if
Netbios is bound to the public IP address of the server, IIS will attempt to
do a direct Netbios query back to the client if RDNS fails. This causes (a)
unnecessary network traffic and (b) false alarms on firewalls, etc. Which
reminds me - I need to check on my Netbios bindings on my Windows boxes...

In short - RDNS ain't just for servers. Of course, that's just my 2 cents -
your mileage may vary.

Kirk.

No, I can't blame them for wanting to stop some of the spam. But one of the
best solutions I've seen proposed to date has nothing to do with running
regex's on DNS names. It's very simple, and very cost effective.

Have the ISPs who allocate IP pools for dynamic assignment or for dialup
users remove the PTR records for those addresses, and let mail servers do
RDNS checks. This serves three purposes:

1) It gives a simple, quick, and reasonably accurate measure of whether an
IP address is intended to be a server (no PTR record = no server)

2) It is nearly costless to implement on both sides (removing PTR records
is a one-time operation, and can be done quickly; and setting up an RDNS
check for incoming connections should be a simple matter in most mail
server software - or even on a firewall or portal before it gets to the
mail server).

3) It helps prevent users of dynamic or dialup IP addresses from running
server packages in contravention of their ISP's AUP and contract.

I know that my own ISP does this - I had to explicitly ask for RDNS to be
set up on my IP block (I have a 16 address subnet allocated from my ISP).
And several other ISPs in the area also do this (set up RDNS only on
request, and often charge an additional monthly fee for the service).

The same thing could be said from the other side. Do you have any idea how
many spam mails I could block from my server by rejecting anything with
"aol.com" or "hotmail.com" in the envelope sender? And, honestly, for my
own mail server here, I could do that with near 0% "casualties" to
legitimate mail. But would that be ethical as a postmaster to do? I don't
think so - just as I don't really think that their solution is ethical.
Sure, it's their network, and they can make the rules they want, but...

>Spam may not realistically cost end users that much money, but it definatly

Well, I'm a *small* operation - my mail server handles traffic for three
domains, containing a total of about 30 users. My average throughput is
around 2000 messages a day. However, out of that 2000 messages, nearly 70%
is spam. But I've not found it necessary to result to regex operations on
DNS names.

Actually, I should say that nearly 70% *was* spam - after having spent a
couple of weeks playing with various DNSBLs and assessing their collateral
damage, and playing with RDNS checks and assessing the damage there, I've
reduced the spam to under 25% of the daily flow - and I'm expecting to
reduce it further by tuning the DNSBLs.

Granted that 25% of the total traffic is still a whale of a lot of
messages, but it's a lot better than 70%.

2003-06-12 Thread Michael Harrington

Honestly, can you blame AOL for doing this?  I can't even count how much
SPAM gets thrown at our system from people using their cable or DSL lines.
The number of messages you stop vs. the number of legitimate email messages
makes the concept seem worth it to me.  I'm glad I don't have AOL or
Hotmails systems.  They could probably cut their systems in half if it
weren't for the junk mail that they're having to process.  Let's face it ...
spam is an epidimic and there's no such thing as a "good" or "perfect"
solution.

Spam may not realistically cost end users that much money, but it definatly
costs ISPs money in bandwidth and storage for all that junk.  If you're
small it doesn't amount to much, but if you're the size of AOL and having to
store an extra 10 million+ messages a day plus the bandwidth for receiving
them and then the bandwidth of sending it to your users when they check
their email... the costs add up quick.

Setup xmail to relay @aol.com mail through your cable isp mail server or
through your xmail server at work using smtpfwd.tab. Or use
DefaultSMTPGateways in server.tab to send all your mail to one of the
above servers.

Odds are that AOL has subscribed to a DNSBL that lists dynamic IP
addresses, and your IP address is showing up in there. This means that
*nothing* you can do on your end will fix this - your only hope is getting
your ISP to assign you an address which is not listed in whichever DNSBL
that AOL is using.

You can check your IP address against the major DNSBL lists at

http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi?addr=200.100.200.100

replacing 200.100.200.100 with your actual IP address.

As far as getting your ISP to assign you an address which isn't listed -
well, if you have a contract with them which specifies that you are allowed
to run servers, they should be able to assist you. Otherwise, you probably
aren't going to have much luck.

Oh, man!  Been reading the thread from hell over this on another list.
You have to get your ISP to change your PTR to not look like it belongs
to any sort of cable/dial/dsl connection.  They are scanning the PTR
record and claiming that there is no reason for cable/dial/dsl users to
ever directly connect to one of their servers.

You can't test like this. The receiving SMTP serve must be one order of
magnitude faster than the one you're testing otherwise the limit might be
the receiving part (supposing that the sending one is fast enough). We
used to do those tests against a dual PIII 1GHz with dual ethernet
epro100. On one eth was hooked the feeder, that was a quad Xeon 1GHz
running an ultra-fast MT SMTP client and on the other side the was a so
called SMTP black-hole able to receive 1.2 million messages per hour.
Also, log must be disabled when you are testing those kind of performances
since different MTA have different logging methods. IIS SMTP used to crash
after 2 hour of load.

Yep, using Campaign enterprise as the feeder (on win2k) going to xmail =
(on win2k) and relaying to another smtp server (IIS' SMTP on win2k)

Thats not doing any processing on the emails but I reckon any processing =
overhead would be minor compared to IO issues.

For the record microsoft IIS SMTP server is much the same performance.

[xmail] Xmail performance tuning

Hi,
if you are running Xmail on a good machine, such as a P4 with
1gig ram, what can I set to get emails to send quicker? I am running
Windows 2003. No, I can not use Linux.

I thought maybe putting up the number of SMTP threads. Any idea how far
I could put this up to and if it would make a difference to sending
emails out to the internet?

Thanks,

Maybe it's the server that XMail does not like, not the IP :) Getting a
PTR record is always good if you run a mail server. You're not the only
one using RDNS checks out there.

I tried...:) But he has this fixation with MDaemon...:) I'll tell him he 
has to get his ISP to fix his RDNS. Thanks...

Nope. Let him run XMail and let him setup SMTP auth for outbound messages
in XMail :)

Yesterday I realized that the documentation is wrong. You used to put the
link syntax L<...> between a "begin html" and "end html". Older versions
of pod2* used to convert it anyway but the new one that ships with RH9 is
more strict and it does not translate anything that is an html block
(that is supposed to be raw html). Noproblem though, I changed it.
