Hi folks, I've been a long time user of tmda which has been the core of
a whois-address-guard for domain names called myprivacy.ca we've run for
a number of years.
We're upgrading some servers and in the process of moving the myprivacy
service we wanted to use the latest version of tmda so we can switch
from qmail to postfix (which we're more familiar with).
I've got everything setup ok except for two mutually exclusive problems:
1) the challenge addresses are all in the form:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and no matter what if I reply to that address it keeps generating
another challenge request.
and
2) I can't seem to get tmda to issue "dated" type challenges.
Here's the non-standard part: we're running a multi-user system with no
local users. It's basically a mail-forwarding service with tmda in the
middle.
all email to the domain goes through one user account on the system, the
"privacy" user and comes in via a script where some preprocessing is
done, and then piped to tmda-filter.
tmda then issues the challenge in the above mentioned format and I can't
seem to make it use "dated" challenges.
Also, if I confirm the challenge as is, my inbound script again pipes
the message to tmda-filter and it never gets past that stage, another
challenge is issued. I'm suspecting that I'm missing an environment
variable or something that is usually there if tmda-filter were to be
invoked directly our of .forward or .procmail that makes the
confirmation fail.
To make the challenge of type dated I've tried using these in the
inbound and outgoing filters:
to * tag envelope dated=1d from bare
or
from * dated=1d
I've also tried in the config to set
ACTION_OUTGOING = "dated=1d"
and even
ACTION_INCOMING = "dated=1d"
but I can't seem to get the dated challenge working (or if I confirm the
other challenge from the same email address as I sent it from, it keeps
issuing new challenges)
Any pointers appreciated at this point.
