2005-08-04 Thread Kevin Williams

Oops! I forgot to post back to the list. Sorry.

Yes, it is the error from the other person's server. They have it set to 
reject messages where the MAIL_FROM resolves to a local account but no 
SMTP AUTH is given. I suspect this configuration will cause grief to 
lots of Postfix users who subscribe to mailing lists that don't munge 
the From: header.

 I guees that error message isn't one from XMail. IMHO it's a XMail

 post the complete bounce message so we can analyze it.

Are you using my Python filter or writing your own? I tested with file 
attachments, and it caught them quite well, but that was all I had to 
test with. Improvements are welcome.

John Kielkopf wrote:
 Anyone else scanning mail with ClamAV?
 
 With just telling ClamAV to scan the message file supplied by Xmail, 
 It'll miss a number of the test from http://www.webmail.us/testvirus
 
 If I build a new temp file to scan doing the following:
  - Strip MAIL-DATA
X-ClamAV-Scan: clean
 X-ClamAV-Scan: clean
 Received-SPF: unknown  ([69.30.125.51]: domain of [EMAIL PROTECTED] uses 
 unknown mechanism: no SPF record) and everything before
  - Add a Return-Path: xxx header to the top.
  - Detect and fix a bad EOH (no double CRLF before the start of the 
 message body)
 
 I can then get ClamAV to pass all of the tests that contain a virus. 
 (#24 and #24 get past, but they contain no virus).
 
 Is it possible to get ClamAV to hit the target without all of this?  I'd 
 like to avoid the overhead of building a new file every time I want to 
 scan it.

Have you tried the IISLockdown tool from MS? I haven't used that ( or

helped a bunch. IIRC it can be configured to ignore certain URL

 1200 bogus requests a minute which is around 1.7 million a day (at the

Hi,

I'm not sure if this will help you since it's only relative for apache
 
 users. If you are running IIS or something I dunno.
 
If you watch your logs closely you'll probably know there are some really
 
 annoying windows worm things out there that, while posing no threat to
 apache/*nix, are still annoying and a waste of space in logs.
 
For example there is one that does a SEARCH request that is so long it
 
 breaches apache's max length for a url. To not log it (and another for
 example) I have in httpd.conf
 
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/SEARCH annoying
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/scripts/.. annoying

And in my vhost entries (anywhere that would log this really)

CustomLog /home/decker/logs/www/n3t.net-access_log combined env=!annoying

This allows me to log everything normally except the junk from the worms.
 
 I'm not familiar with the bagle virus and what it looks for, however you may
 be able to apply the above example to help performance and save disk space.
 If the virus requests are causing the server to hit its MaxClients limit,
 then you are SOL for the most part.

Last year you tried to help me get this to work. You sent me a patch but

http://www.xmailserver.org

* Sun Jan 9 2005 Davide Libenzi davidel@xmailserver.org
   Added a fix for 64 bits porting compatibility.
   Added the ability to exclude filters from execution in case of 
 authenticated user.
   By pre-pending the filter command token with a token containing !aex, 
 the filters
   won't be run if the user authenticated himself.
   Added @@USERAUTH macro even to standard in/out filters (before it was only 
 defined
   for SMTP ones).
   Added a new NoSenderBounce variable inside the SERVER.TAB file, to enable
   XMail generated bounce messages to have the empty SMTP sender ('MAIL 
 FROM:').
   Added a new SMTP-MaxErrors variable inside the SERVER.TAB file to set 
 the maximum
   errors allowed in a single SMTP session (default zero, unlimited).
   Added a LastLoginTimeDate variable to the userstat CTRL command.
   Added external aliases support in the CTRL protocol.
   The MESSAGE.ID file is now automatically created, if missing.
   Changed the logic used to treat domain and user MAILPROC.TAB files. 
 Before, a user's
   MAILPROC.TAB was overriding the domain one, while now the rules are merged 
 together,
   with domain's ones first, followed by user's ones.
   The maximum mailbox size of zero is now interpreted as unlimited.
   Fixed XMail's sendmail to detect non-RFC822 data and handle it correctly.
   The IP:PORT addresses emission in spool files (and Received: lines) has 
 been changed
   to the form [IP]:PORT.
   Added filter logging, that is enabled with the new -Qg command line option.
   Fixed an error message in the SMTP server, that was triggered by the 
 remote client
   not using the proper syntax for the MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: commands.
   Fixed explicit routing through SMTPGW.TAB file.
   Fixed a possible problem with file locking that might be triggered from 
 CTRL commands
   cfgfileget/cfgfileset.
   Added a check to avoid the CTRL server to give an error when a domain 
 created with
   older versions of XMail does not have the domain directory inside 
 cmdaliases.
   The SMTP server FQDN variable should be set to the value of 
 SmtpServerDomain, when
   this is used inside the SERVER.TAB file.

When I introduced the XMail Server ebuild to Gentoo, I tried to achieve 
the same resulting install that one would have if following the 
Readme.html document. This way, the documentation would match one's file 
system. Also, since it was new to Gentoo, I thought following the 
documentation would be a Good Idea.

I don't prefer non-chroot over chroot. I think a chroot-ed server that 
doesn't match the distributed documentation is a poor choice for an 
audience of users who likely have never used the server before. Davide 
specifically addresses his choice of permissions and file locations in 
the documentation, and I don't believe his setup is any less secure than 
he claims.

I also don't agree that the ebuild should do the chroot for you. Most 
other servers in Gentoo don't do that. That is a server setup left to 
the skills of dedicated administrators. I wouldn't mind having two

Actually, I believe the ebuild I sent you is set up for use with 
CourierIMAP, because users need direct access to their maildir. A strict 
POP3  SMTP install, like my earlier ebuilds in Gentoo's bugzilla, were 
closer to the documentation. I haven't touched the ebuild in quite a 
while except for version bumps, so I might not remember it correctly 
(don't have it in front of me ATM).

Sorry. I hope that doesn't mess anyone up.


Dustin C. Hatch wrote:
 Portage is not specific about what you name your ebuilds, so it would be 
 feasible to create two ebuilds, ie xmail-1.21.ebuild and 
 xmail_chroot-1.21.ebuild.  The only foreseeable problem with this is if 
 you don't unmerge the original chrooted version before installing the 
 new chrooted version would be that you would have two ebuilds merged 
 onto your system.  This would be a simple problem to correct, using 
 portage's package blocker detection.  ie, emerge -p xmail_chroot with 
 xmail previously installed would return
 # emerge --pretend xmail_chroot
 
 These are the packages I would merge, in order
 
 Calculating dependencies ...done!
 [blocks B ] mail-mta/xmail (from pkg mail-mta/xmail_chroot-1.21)
 [ebuild  N] mail-mta/xmail_chroot-1.21
 
 Would this be a good solution?  I think it can be done, then Sergey can 
 maintain the chroot, and Kevin or whoever wants to can maintain the 
 standard.
 
 I do, however like the Gentoo file structure, which doesn't veer too far 
 from the documentation, merely replacing $MAIL_ROOT = /var/MailRoot with 
 $MAIL_ROOT = /etc/xmail.  I did remove the symlink into /home/xmail as 
 that merely confused me :D

2004-11-24 Thread Kevin Williams
I hope I'm not missing something. I see port 25 (SMTP) is bound at 
212.243.37.26, which should be fine. I don't see port 110 bound 
anywhere. If you can connect to port 110 with telnet, then perhaps the 
listing you posted is not complete. Perhaps there's no problem with 
XMail's POP3.

Using the secure connection setting in Outlook, do you get a prompt 
window asking about accepting the SSL certificate? Is the certificate 
signed by a known certificate authority such as Thawte, or is it locally 
signed?

 If you run netstat -p TCP -an from a Command Prompt window, do you see
   something like:
 
Proto  Local Address  Foreign AddressState
TCP0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:0  LISTENING
TCP0.0.0.0:1100.0.0.0:0  LISTENING
 
 Under Local Address, you want to be sure of two things. First, that
 port 25 and 110 (the numbers after the colon) are there. Second, take
 careful note of what the IP address is (the numbers before the colon).
 
 If you have four zeros separated by periods, as above, then the service
 is bound to all addresses. This means that you can use any IP address
 that is assigned to the machine. From your previous post, lets assume it
 is 212.243.37.26. From the server or any other machine that can ping the
 server, try this in a Command Prompt window: telnet 212.243.37.26 110
 and you should see something like this come back to you on the screen:
 
 +OK [EMAIL PROTECTED] [XMail 1.20 POP3 Server]
 service ready; Tue, 23 Nov 2004 19:52:48 -0700
 
 Then type quit. You just connected to POP3. Outlook should be able to
 use the same settings if necessary. Verify this before moving on. If
 this works, you have a problem with either your stunnel or Outlook
 configuration. If this doesn't work, please post the results of the
 netstat and telnet commands above.
 
 Also, be sure Outlook is set for the secure connection. I don't have
 Outlook so I'm not sure of the option structure, but if it is not
 configured to expect a SSL certificate it will likely be confused.
 
 Hope that helps!

OK, I've sat back and watched the show, and it appears that what we have
here is a failure to communicate...:)

In the pre-stunnel world, you have

Client Server
Outlook  :xxx  -  Xmail  :25
Outlook  :xxx  -  Xmail  :110

If you want a secure connection to the server, you then have to provide a
secure tunnel (stunnel, for instance) to the server. However, note the
analogy of the tunnel - a tunnel has both an entrance and an exit. You've
defined the exit point on the server, as such:

stunnel  :8025  -  Xmail  :25
stunnel  :995  -  Xmail  :110

But you haven't defined the entrance to the tunnel. Something on the
 
 client
 
has to provide the encrypted session. Now, Outlook (IIRC) can do secure
SMTP connections on port 465 - but I don't know if that security  is
compatible with stunnel. If so, then you just need to change stunnel's
mapping from :8025 to :465, and your SMTP should

[xmail] sendmail and cron

2004-11-24 Thread Kevin Williams
I'm currently running Vixie-Cron 4.1, which was upgraded from 3.x about 
11/2. I have not received a single mail from cron since. I know the 
sendmail that XMail builds doesn't handle all the command-line arguments 
that the Sendmail or Postfix version does, but I thought it would ignore 
the ones it doesn't know. I'm tempted to switch to dcron, but it still 
uses non-XMail arguments for sendmail.

Has anyone else solved this problem on their servers? Should I hack some 
kind of wrapper for sendmail, or should I hack the arguments in 
Vixie-Cron and re-compile? Or should I switch to Postfix? ;)

Thanks in advance,

2004-10-30 Thread Kevin Williams
Dustin,

This script is certainly something I slapped together from the 
Authen::PAM docs. My Perl skills are anything but. ;) The script should 
return the return code from PAM, but your shell may translate that 
return code to another number.

I wish I could be more help, but this is one of those times where I got 
lucky without understanding the code I wrote. I'm sure there are others 
who could improve the script if they feel like it.

Kevin

P.S. The Authen::PAM docs describe quite a few other functions which 
would make the script much more robust.

2004-10-12 Thread Kevin Williams
Wow, I hope that's not true. The SPF site leaves me with the impression 
that the DNS record checking, Received-SPF header, SMTP AUTH, and SRS 
are all pieces which can be implemented in steps and should not fail 
when all steps are not yet implemented. I have the impression that if a 
server is rejecting messages because SRS is not implemented on the 
sending server, that's a bad implementation on their part and not the 
fault of the sender or sending server.

Honestly, I don't yet see the benefit to SRS because it seems like a 
huge hassle, requiring servers to be re-architected. If SPF is designed 
to fail without SRS, then I don't see how it will ever succeed.

[xmail] Re: OT: Spam SPF

2004-09-10 Thread Kevin Williams
We all (should) know that no one single tool will prevent all spam from 
reaching our mailboxes. Each tool targets specific ways of fighting 
spam. The most effective ways to prevent spam include using more than 
one tool.

SPF is very simple to set up and use compared to packages like 
SpamAssassin, and IMHO is very effective in the area of spam it targets. 
It requires very low resources and is on it's way to becoming an RFC (or 
is it already?).

I say why not?. I personally use SpamAssassin as well as SPF, and I 
can attest to the fact that they complement each other. XMail's existing 
  spam prevention features round out the package. It may not be an 
enterprise-level solution, but I have very few users and I can't 
remember the last time any spam reached my mailbox.

That's my $0.02.

[xmail] Re: XMail v1.20 / Courier-IMAP 3.0.7 - CRLF is still aproblem

2004-09-08 Thread Kevin Williams
Is there anyone else like me, lurking in this list, who uses Courier 
IMAP and has no troubles whatsoever using XMailServer+Courier IMAP with 
SquirrelMail and/or Thunderbird on Windows?

 Mircea,
 
 Thank you!  I have applied both patches below and have tested that Windows
 versions of Outlook 2000 and Thunderbird 0.7.3 are now reading messages
 properly from the server.  And of course the Linux apps and Squirrelmail
 still work as well.
 
 Nice to see these patches are keeping pace with new versions of XMail and
 Courier-IMAP.
 
 Thanks again.
 David

1. Can the fix Mircea did for earlier versions be tweaked a little to
work with XMail v1.20?  This would be the most simple and quickest
solution at least for me.

Mircea, can you rediff over 1.20?



- Davide

 Hi Davide, before links to the latest versions of our patches here are
some needed explanations because it seem to be a bit of confusion about
what those patches do, so here we go:

   We have http://mircea.smartpost.ro/download/POP3Svr2.cpp.diff.bz2 that
is a patch for the POP3 server component of XMailserver that eliminate
double messages and other confusion due to the peculiar way of
Courier-IMAP stroring messages in folders. This patch is small,
non-intrusive and altough specialised four Courier-IMAP way of storing
data I think that it can be integrated until Xmailserver will get IMAP
because from my experience  and others it seem to be the best solution
until native IMAP

   We also have
http://mircea.smartpost.ro/download/courier-imap-crlf.patch.bz2 that is
patch for the Courier-IMAP daemon that make it work with cr/lf
terminated files of Xmail, while this patch is more complex is also
clear what it does and was rejected by Sam of Courier fame only because
of political reasons like a Unix program has to deal with the Unix way
of storing files.. But aside from this the patch integrates perfectly
with Courier-IMAP at least until version 3.0.6 ( not tested yet with
3.0.7 but I'll do it soon ) and we use it here to a score of quite busy
servers and never got Peter's problem with thunderbird and attachments,
bug reports are welcome.

 In the end, to have an working instalation you'll need to patch both
programs and recompile them, some RPMS for Mandrakelinux 9.2 are in
http://mircea.interplus.ro/ftp/ultraupdates and Radu Spineanu that is
also on that list maintain Debian packages.

  Hope that helps and we pray that soon we'll have native IMAP ;)

Best regards,

Mircea Ciocan

[xmail] Another SPF Filter

2004-08-20 Thread Kevin Williams
I've put my SPF filter out on my web site, if anyone would like to try 
it. It's written in Python, FWIW. I wrote it at the same time Davide 
wrote his, but it's taken me this long to wrap it up for the world to 
use. I've been using it on my servers the whole time, so it should be 
relatively stable.

I will improve the documentation and web pages as time goes by, but 
there is a download link on my web site http://www.bantamtech.com/, in 
the downloads section.

Enjoy,

Kevin

[xmail] bad download?

2004-05-31 Thread Kevin Williams
I tried to build 1.20 on my Linux server, but it fails with a message 
about SysMachine.h not found. Has anyone else had any troubles? Is there 
an md5sum of the download files?

This sounds like a perfect candidate for the new pre-data SMTP filters. 
Any takers?


Me me:

  From what I have seen now from it is that a domain should have a SPF 
 record made in DNS, if the domain does not have it a mail will always 
 pass. As long as not all domains in the whole world do have SPF records 
 what is the sense of this at all?
 
Perhaps no one wants my $0.02, but I just finished my own SPF filter and 
DNS records so I'll speak up anyway.

Given how simple it is to set up, why not? The list of domains 
implementing SPF is impressive, and growing rapidly. If the RFC is 
adopted then the reasons to implement it only increase.

 Very strange. For the .tar.gz:

Thanks. The md5sum matches my file.

Another odd note. There are only 3 makefiles in the tarball - bsd, lnx, 
and sso. No plx, slx, or ssx, as I see in the 1.18 tarball. Those don't 
matter to me, I'm just trying to figure out why it won't compile.

2004-05-31 Thread Kevin Williams
Sorry guys. My Gentoo portage script had emake -f Makefile.lnx and 
something in the emake command was messing it up. I changed it to 
plain make and it's fine.
