[xmail] Re: Drop NDRs?

2007-03-12 Thread Rob Arends
Dale and Scott,

I solved this by using xmail as the secondary mail server AND having a
nightly script that gathered the valid email address from the primary MTA
and created ./cmdalias/domain.com/.tab files with
"smtprelay"[tab]"mail.domain.com" inside.
Other than that xmail is set for no relay, there is nothing in domains.tab
or in ./domains/*

Now I get in smtp session rejects (EAVAIL) for that sort of rubbish you
mention.
I also implemented greylisting on the 2nd MX too.  However an integrated
database would be a big plus.

I recommend leaving xmail as it is.  (thanks Davide!!)

Rob :-)

Actually, no, I don't need to know as it could never happen to be a 
mis-type.
These are secondary MX servers that ONLY receive mail and relay to our 
primary server, they're never used for sending mail, they exist only as 
backup incoming servers.

So, the only messages that are created are response messages back to the 
originator of an undeliverable (99.999% of the time this will be a 
spammer), which is fine but then when a NDR is received back (in 
response of my sending a NDR to a non-existent spammer sending account) 
I don't want to see it/deal with it.

So, if [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends me a message and my server 
received it it is for a person not on my mail system, my system sends 
back a NDR to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Well, typically 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't truly exist so the receiving 
domain (if it exists) sends back a NDR to the postmaster account which 
in reality I don't care to see.

I'm hoping that I'm explaining it correctly, it's kind of confusing I guess.

[xmail] freebsd 6 problems?

2007-03-12 Thread Jeff Buehler
I have been running XMail using "daemontools" under Freebsd 5/6 32 and 
64 bit for about a year or so.  I have decided to discontinue using 
daemontools, and I only now notice than when I try to run XMail from a 
standard rc.d script under Freebsd (64 bit), it crashes UNLESS I run it 
in debug (-Md) mode, which is the mode I (I think) needed to use to run 
it under daemontools which doesn't want things running in the background.

If I run xmail locally without the -Md parameter (for example, 
/MailRoot/bin/XMail with MAIL_ROOT set properly) after a fresh 
compile it simply dies (signal 11) with almost no info.  Under the 32 
bit version of an otherwise identical OS it is fine and launches.

So, does anyone have info about XMail failing under FreeBSD 6 64 bit?  
It appears to simply fail...

A version compiled on a 32 bit platform appears to run on my 64 bit 
platforms although I haven't actually tested it.

Thanks for any info about this!

Jeff

Why does the remote MTA gives you a 4xx response contunuosly, and after 
having sucker 6MB of data. That's more of a suckage of the remote MTA. If 
they'd give a 5xx, XMail would bounce.

Which XMail version?
XMail binary compiled for 32 or 64 bit?
I remember someone mentioned about something like that, but when I asked 
more questions, he disappeared ...

[xmail] Testing TLS

2007-03-12 Thread Don Drake
I'm trying out the SSL features of 1.24 on a dev server.  I have a valid
wildcard certificate for a domain, and it came with a ca-bundle PEM file.
Where does that go?  
 

I'm testing Thunderbird, sending mail through this dev server and it gives
the warning "Unable to verify the identity of ..".  I received similar
errors in firefox/MSIE when I installed this on my web server, until I added
the ca-bundle file to the Apache config.

 

Any other pointers on how to test this type of setup? I need to test
outbound mail next, does anyone have a server that has SMTP-TLS running?

 

Thanks.

 

-Don

Hi Davide -

Under FreeBSD 6 a clean compile of 64 bit XMail 1.24 fails.  The 32 bit
version runs fine on 64 bit platforms (so far).  If it helps, I can  provide
you a ssh shell to a 64 bit FreeBSD platform to recompile and test.

Thanks,
Jeff
