 Doesn't matter. I can see the attempt to deliver to the A-record from the

Ok, I verfied both cases:

 SO Getting back to the real issue at hand...
 Why would a VERY large ISP (optusnet.com.au) be broken.
 It certainly is not broken now when DIGs are done.
 The only difference is that one NS that wasn't responding - it now is.
 And you say that xmail tries all NS records until it gets valid results or
 all NS are exhausted, so one NS not responding should not be a problem.
 
 Unfortunately the reason I switched to SMARTDNSHOST years ago was due to
the
 reliability of xmail's DNS lookup routines.
 I use 'named' as a caching DNS server and point xmail to it and have had
 very little problem caused by lookup failure since.
 
 Within one day of trying NO SMARTDNSHOST on 1.25pre06, I had undeliverable
 emails.
 I have since re-enabled SMARTDNSHOST and again I have no problems (the
user
 has resent the emails successfully).

I had no problems in sending to that domain, and in general I had no 
problems whatsoever so far with it.
You didn't try to resend to that domain, did you? You probably hit a 
temporary network problem, you saw the message XMail generated, and you 
posted to the mailing list. Why it is more rare that you see this using a 
'named' resolver? Because 'named' caches *everything*, so it is easier 
that temporary network problems end up being hidden by its caching.

 - Davide

   
But why should a temporary network problem cause any issue in the first 
place, unless that problem is a bad DNS entry? Network connectivity 
issues during a DNS query should at most cause a delay in sending the 
mail, but the mail should eventually get through without user intervention.

I'm still concerned that your fall back to A after MX timeout could 
cause a permanent delivery failure (trying to send to the host pointed 
to by the A record, potentially hitting an SMTP server that would 
refuse the delivery) when the failure should only be temporary (can't 
get any results from the domain's DNS servers due to a network failure 
somewhere while trying to lookup the MX record).  Admittedly, this would 
be a _very_ small window of opportunity, but still possible if Xmail 
handles this as you suggest.

It was a temporary error, wasn't it? Thing that the majority of other MTAs 
won't even bother to tell you in the first place, so you sleep happy.
I already explained you, in the previous email, why this can happen.


 Question: how many other MTAs do their own DNS lookups ?
   Do they use the OS resolver setting ? 
   What is the benefit of Xmail doing the dns resolution entirely by
 itself?

And how many of them runs natively on basically all unxes and all windows 
w/out requiring you to fetch and link other 37 libraries? If, from the 
hight of your experience, you can tell me a POSIX function that does MX 
lookups and is supported natively by ll unx and all windows, that would be 
great.

I don't understand your response, Davide, as Rob pointed out the fact =
that
xmail tried to connect to
Server:www.optusnet.com.au [211.29.132.105]
And you response used :=20
Server:mail.optusnet.com.au [211.29.132.250]

So, even if the final user doesn't exist, it's not the real problem
mentionned/reported by Rob :)
The question seems to be (correct me, Rob, if not correct) :

Why xmail used/choosed/got/tried/... WWW.optusnet.com.au on Rob server =
and
not MAIL.optusnet.com.au the effectively declared MX for optusnet.com, =
as
your server ?
And Rob digs seemed to proove that there is no 'dns' problem from its =
server
as a mx search return effectively MAIL.optusnet.com as the MX !?!?
Rfc seems to say (if I interpreted them correctly) : IF at least one mx
entry is found user ONLY the mx list, even if all/some busy, =
unreachable,
(next retries must continue to use the MX entries, and never fallback =
to A
records). A records usage could be used only as an alternative =
auto
mx when NO mx entries exist.

A dns server in the route that automaticaly add the A record as an
'autogenerated' MX entry ?

Any test that Rob could run to try to find the reason (bad isp cache =
dns,
) ?

XMail either gets an MX or it tries the A record, that is *exactly* the 
domain name. That was WWW.domainname, and the *only* way it could have got 
there, is as a MX. Strange thing is, that host does not appear anywhere in 
the DNS packets at the moment. A temporary screw up on their DNS?

A timeout (inside the DNS retry policy rule) from every domain DNS server

 And, BTW, www.optusnet.com.au is *NOT* the A record. If XMail would have

 tried the A record, you should have seen optusnet.com.au in there.

I do

(from previous post)
optusnet.com.au.37147   IN  A   211.29.132.105 

But the rev dns is :
C:\dig -x 211.29.132.105

;  DiG 9.2.3  -x 211.29.132.105

And of course the dns names shown in my post were from xmail - which got
them from rev dns.
So I agree with you, the www.optusnet.com.au is *NOT* the A record.

But there is an A record that matches the domain where you would usually
see the MX
In this case there are both A  MX for optusnet.com.au

XMail tries all the available DNS NS before giving up, so I doubt a single

Still, you would think a timeout on a MX record lookup (from every 
domain DNS server) should also result in a time-out when looking up an A 
record.  If you can get an A record without a timeout, then you should 
be able to at least get a nodata response on MX lookup.  Good that Xmail 
does not cache the A record, but falling back to an A record after 
timeout on MX lookup still seems like a bad idea.

 I ask this because, I noticed that dns timeouts are frequent with some
 french isp especially on udp (qos ? prioritization ?), and an immediate
 retry generally get the response.
 

 A timeout (inside the DNS retry policy rule) from every domain DNS server 
 is treated as failure to get the MX, hence the A record is tried.

2007-04-17 Thread Rob Arends
Davide,

I can see you are adamant that xmail did not use the www.optusnet.com.au for
delivery and I agree with you, however,
I see that the path followed to get the point of reporting
www.optusnet.com.au is


1. decipher domain part of TO address (optusnet.com.au)
2. get NS records for optusnet.com.au
3. get MX records for optusnet.com.au
4. some error occurred, so get A record for optusnet.com.au. 
   (what the error was is not important here)
5. get PTR record for the IP we are going to send to: 211.29.132.105 (The A
record)
6. attempt to send email  fail
7. send a bounce email to postmaster (and sender) reporting the
   name obtained from the PTR lookup.
   ^

This is what xmail has done forever, and is not a problem, as long as you
know the name reported is the PTR, rather than the domain part of the TO
address.  I think it is just fine as it is.

SO Getting back to the real issue at hand...
Why would a VERY large ISP (optusnet.com.au) be broken.
It certainly is not broken now when DIGs are done.
The only difference is that one NS that wasn't responding - it now is.
And you say that xmail tries all NS records until it gets valid results or
all NS are exhausted, so one NS not responding should not be a problem.

Unfortunately the reason I switched to SMARTDNSHOST years ago was due to the
reliability of xmail's DNS lookup routines.
I use 'named' as a caching DNS server and point xmail to it and have had
very little problem caused by lookup failure since.

Within one day of trying NO SMARTDNSHOST on 1.25pre06, I had undeliverable
emails.
I have since re-enabled SMARTDNSHOST and again I have no problems (the user
has resent the emails successfully).

You didn't try to resend to that domain, did you? You probably hit a 
temporary network problem, you saw the message XMail generated, and you 
posted to the mailing list. Why it is more rare that you see this using a 
'named' resolver? Because 'named' caches *everything*, so it is easier 
that temporary network problems end up being hidden by its caching.

I've created Debian packages for -pre06.

If you feel adventurous add this to you
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://arcadia.timisoara.roedu.net/xmail ./
deb-src http://arcadia.timisoara.roedu.net/xmail ./

then run
apt-get update  apt-get install xmail

Send bugreports to me, and if everything goes well after 1.25 is
launched I'll upload it to unstable too.

Thank you Radu. Didn't we have a discussion open about things to fix 
in XMail to play nicer with Debian?

Hi Davide,
 Thank you Radu. Didn't we have a discussion open about things to fix 
 in XMail to play nicer with Debian?
 

I could have misplaced those emails, sorry I've had a lot on my mind
this last couple of days/weeks/months.

The major issue is a LSB incompatibility because the -bs function is not
implemented, you suggested a good fix by providing a wrapper but I
didn't have time to write it yet.

Also there is the testing on the k*bsd architectures, I lost my access
to a machine where I did this work, so I will ask the porters to look
over it.

The SSL certificates are created in the Debian postinst script during
upgrade.

Was there anything else?

- Looking at the DIG for gmail.com, I get the same thing - A record was
used for SMTP.

It seems that in your DNS rewrite; now, the A record is favoured if it
exists.

And, BTW, www.optusnet.com.au is *NOT* the A record. If XMail would have 
tried the A record, you should have seen optusnet.com.au in there.

I forgot to mention that I added a column to the SMAIL log. That's the end 
response to the final DATA command (w/out the SMTP code). This usually 
returns the remote server message ID, that can be used to be reported to 
the remote MTA admin, in case shit^Wproblems happens.
