[00:01:06] <flami> :P
[00:01:31] <flami> i mean i installed postfix and it runs and runs and never has any problem ^^
[00:01:53] <sysmonk> yeah, kinda like that
[00:02:21] <sysmonk> the "if it's not broken, why do i need to move it" way
[00:03:11] <flami> yep ... well update it from time to time but touch my configs ? never ^^^
[00:05:13] *** Badunkadunk has joined #postfix
[00:06:14] <Badunkadunk> I'm trying to get postfix to change m2n+<newsgroup> at mydomain dot com to <newsgroup> at mynntpserver dot com.  I've tried creating aliasing m2n in virtual then creating a pcre file for m2n_transport like someone told me to but it doesn't work.  Help!
[00:06:15] <Badunkadunk> Can you use the commands listed in headers_check in a pcre file?

[03:27:29] *** spike has joined #postfix
[03:27:31] <spike> hi there
[03:27:58] <spike> got a weird problem: I just installed rss2email, which convert rss to email and delivers to localhost ro whatever you tell it to, localhost in my case
[03:28:14] <spike> postfix locally works perfectly already with fetchmail and spam assassin
[03:28:42] <spike> now something weird happens: when I update the rss for the first time I get 336 emails in a few seconds
[03:28:57] <spike> it takes ages (>30 mins) to flush them all
[03:29:07] <spike> and even if I issue postfix flush, nothing will happen
[03:29:23] <spike> then slowly from time to time it'll do something
[03:29:45] <spike> what could it be causing it?
[03:29:50] <spike> the burst?
[03:31:24] <spike> it's not SA for sure
[03:31:25] <spike> it seems to be procmail...
[03:31:41] <spike> but no, hang on, emails are in the mailq
[03:31:49] <spike> so it's postfix, necessarily

[06:24:58] <f3ew> yes
[06:25:14] <f3ew> Show postconf -n and logs, please
[06:26:26] <Badunkadunk> It's been suggested that I use 'address classes' but when I read the docs, they're domain based.
[06:26:50] <f3ew> You shouldn't need to use address classes
[06:27:03] <Badunkadunk> I plan on making distinctions based on whether there's an m2n
[06:27:08] <f3ew> Show me logs with per user transport_maps and canonical/generic_maps
[06:27:21] <f3ew> Hmmm
[06:27:35] <f3ew> You could do a check_recipient_access ...
[06:28:03] *** GMFlash has joined #postfix
[06:29:03] <Badunkadunk> Well I think I might want a disticnt class.  I mean I only want to invoke lmtp transport on m2n emails
[06:29:04] *** freebsd_fan has quit IRC
[06:30:00] <Badunkadunk> I think I might have changed the per user transport stuff you had me do
[06:30:09] <Badunkadunk> I've been trying a bunch of stuff
[06:31:01] <f3ew> transport_maps work on the basis of destination address
[06:31:18] <f3ew> transport_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/transport-pcre
[06:31:26] <f3ew> where transport-pcre contains
[06:32:26] <f3ew>  /m2n+(.+) at example\ dot com/    lmtp2:
[06:32:38] <Badunkadunk> okay
[06:32:54] <Badunkadunk> lemme try that
[06:33:54] <f3ew> Hmmm, wait
[06:34:24] <f3ew> Your address rewriting will actually happen before you get to that point
[06:34:44] <f3ew> Is there a reason you can't use a plussed address scheme?
[06:34:56] <f3ew> newsgroup+m2n at example dot com?
[06:35:06] <f3ew> Since Postfix will handle that part automagically
[06:35:45] <Badunkadunk> I was gonna use m2n+newsgroup
[06:36:41] <Badunkadunk> I just gotta get rid of the m2n before it gets handed off to lmtp
[06:37:07] *** prebur191200 has quit IRC
[06:38:15] <Badunkadunk> THis get handled by trivial-rewrite
[06:38:52] <Badunkadunk> Hopefully in qmgr and not before cleanup

[06:40:17] *** prebur191200 has joined #postfix
[06:46:06] <Badunkadunk> What if I used a recipient_map to change the addr and then set relay_transport to be lmtp

[12:47:15] <kwek> thats normal.. just 127.0.0.1 there.. or was that not for me
[12:47:34] <GiabboO> ok now
[12:48:17] <GiabboO> cat /var/spool/postfix/etc/hosts
[12:48:29] <GiabboO> this must be the same of /etc/hosts
[12:49:02] <kwek> theres a hard ip there but same in nameserver
[12:49:07] <kwek> ill update it from /etc/hosts now
[12:49:11] <GiabboO> ok
[12:49:18] <GiabboO> hard ip means ipv6 ?
[12:49:31] <GiabboO> then restart postfix
[12:49:38] <kwek> a static ip
[12:49:41] <GiabboO> ok
[12:49:44] <kwek> for our mail.xxx.com server
[12:49:48] <GiabboO> perfect
[12:49:49] <kwek> but removed that now
[12:49:50] <GiabboO> now restart postfix
[12:50:16] <kwek> k done
[12:50:21] <GiabboO> now check
[12:50:39] <GiabboO> postconf -n
[12:51:11] <GiabboO> be sure you have mynetworks =

[12:55:58] <GiabboO> on /etc/postfix/master.cf
[12:56:02] <kwek> well we did
[12:56:05] <GiabboO> add -v to smtp
[12:56:10] <GiabboO> and ?
[12:56:22] <kwek> and we are pretty sure that postfix is responsible for connecting
[12:56:28] <kwek> right trickie? you did a tcpdump
[12:56:34] <GiabboO> thats the only output you get ?
[12:56:54] <trickie> kwek: we didn't add -v
[12:57:02] <trickie> we used debug_peer
[12:57:09] <GiabboO> ah
[12:57:10] <kwek> to the postfix daemon? think i did that
[12:57:15] <kwek> but not much more
[12:57:21] <GiabboO> well just check ur master.cf
[12:57:40] <GiabboO> are you skilled with courier-imap guys ?

[13:20:11] <trickie> we killed the content filter, and now what ever process was going straight to amavis is now just going to port 25
[13:20:32] <kwek> amavis is still flooding logs with: SMTP: NOTICE: client broke the connection without a QUIT ()
[13:20:38] <kwek> and yea content_filter is disabled
[13:21:46] <kwek> hi.. we have a unknown process connecting to our mailserver (localhost:25). It connects, receives the banner and sends a RST packet. Any hints how to identify that proces?

[15:40:38] <d1ce> i'm going round in circles trying to understand which of the features i should be focusing on
[15:40:38] <R1ck> I think you need transport_maps

[18:14:17] <tecnico> yoanis_gil: you could probably do it using syslog. I used syslog-ng a while back to send all logs to a database, then there I could sort them. You could however make a filter on syslog-ng and just send maillog to the DB.  Look at http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/syslog-ng.htm   http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_setup_PHP-Syslog-NG

[19:23:31] <LordBurrito> G'day.  Is something awry with the postfix-users mailing list?
[19:25:36] <pickcoder> adh: If I'm not mistaken all outgoing mail is determined by MX records, unless there isn't one. Then it's the domain's IP.
[19:27:11] <pickcoder> there is a parameter "disable_dns_lookups" turns off DNS lookups and relies on getaddrinfo() on the local system
[19:27:57] <adh> pickcoder: thanks!
[19:28:31] <adh> basically the mail server sits behind a firewall and is attempting to connect the frontside address of the mail server to deliver said mail's
[19:29:33] <adh> I have a few mails needing to be flushed, but postfix is connecting to the outside address instead of localhost.
[19:29:45] <pickcoder> adh: you need local DNS services
[19:29:53] <adh> yep :)
[19:30:14] <pickcoder> unless it's all local mail
[19:30:18] <adh> I need to have postfix realize that it does not have the ip of the mail server local, and to connect locally..is that possible?
[19:30:19] <pickcoder> then you can disable DNS and use /etc/hosts
[19:30:24] <adh> bah!
[19:30:25] <adh> :D
[19:31:11] <LordBurrito> You just need to point /etc/resolv.conf to a (recursive) nameserver, is all.
[19:31:30] <pickcoder> LordBurrito: if there is one...
[19:31:36] <adh> define recursive pls
[19:31:57] <LordBurrito> Can be queried about stuff outside its own zone and sub-zones
[19:32:11] <LordBurrito> Basically
[19:32:20] <pickcoder> adh: where is your nameserver?
[19:32:24] <adh> internal
[19:32:25] <LordBurrito> pickcoder: Few ISPs don't offer one
[19:32:30] <adh> we run our own.
[19:32:37] <pickcoder> adh: do you not have a local zone?
[19:33:22] <adh> I do, but postfix is attempting to connect to our public address of the mail server, which lives on the firewall.
[19:33:32] <Badunkadun1> he has a local bone
[19:34:01] <adh> I can mod the fw rules, but I figured it may be easier to have postfix not connect back to the public IP, but locally...
[19:34:32] <adh> I tried moding /etc/hosts and verifying nsswitch has files,dns but postfix is using dns.
[19:36:52] <pickcoder> adh: IMO, the best option is to setup a local zone for your LAN and have non-local zone queries go to your ISP
[19:36:59] <pickcoder> that's basically what LordBurrito is saying
[19:37:44] <pickcoder> look up recursion for bind

[21:30:06] <ncaller> Is it possible to configure postfix to deliver all messages to Maildir/'s for their users, but save each message to a separate mysql database for archival as well?
[21:30:35] <Mr||Dave> Hi, I've been more of a qmail/courier person up until now. I'm trying to figure out if postfix (without multiple copies) can handle smtp traffic on multiple IPs (where each IP corresponds to a domain) both on incoming and outgoing. I don't need to be told how, I'll figure that out myself, I just need to know if it's doable.
[21:31:18] <LordBurrito> ncaller: See always_bcc
[21:31:22] <Mr||Dave> ie. 192.168.0.1 will be mail.example1.com and 192.168.0.2 will be mail.example2.com and all relevant smtp traffic should identify it as such (HELOs, etc)
[21:31:29] <ncaller> thanks LordBurrito
[21:32:37] <rob0> Dave: single copy, multiple instances, different config_directory and spools. Set inet_interfaces as needed.
[21:33:44] <Mr||Dave> There's no way to do it in one config? I found what I thought were directions for listening in master.cf (-o smtpd_banner=smtp.domain1.org)
[21:34:04] <ncaller> ok now with always_bcc is it possible for normal mails to be delivered to Maildir's and still bcc into a mysql database?
[21:34:06] <Mr||Dave> I'm not against multiple instances, figured it might be simpler though.
[21:34:56] <Mr||Dave> (err, figured that one config that could handle all the instances would be simpler, is what I mean)
[21:36:19] <LordBurrito> ncaller: I would imagine so.  You'd always_bcc to a script, which would do what you want.
[21:36:57] <LordBurrito> ncaller: You'd have to write the code to put it in the db the way you wanted.
[21:37:34] <LordBurrito> ncaller: There was a SysAdmin magazine article describing just such a system a year or two ago, btw.
[21:37:35] <rob0> Mr||Dave: you can do the listeners that way, but it would be a mess (if even possible) to keep the outgoing transports correlated.
[21:38:34] <rob0> It might be possible, but I'm sure the multiple instances would be easier.
[21:40:10] <Mr||Dave> Hmm, OK, that's why Google couldn't find me much about doing it. Thanks, rob.

[23:40:35] <schultzconsult> how do I force postfix to make a try on a bunch of deferred e-mails ?
[23:40:59] <bda> postqueue -f
[23:42:52] <schultzconsult> thanks
[23:44:27] <bda> Note that flushing the deferred queue may make dest servers unhappy with you, depending on factors like previous retry rates, number of messages, etc.
[23:44:46] <bda> It can also make the qmgr somewhat angry if it's busy.
[23:45:36] <schultzconsult> it's from my own backup mail server to the primary server ;-)
[23:45:43] <bda> *nod*
[23:46:23] <schultzconsult> but it semes like postfix isn't doing anything to deliver...
[23:47:10] <bda> As in, nothing is appearing the logs? Messages aren't being moved from the deferred queue to the active queue, or..?
[23:47:13] <schultzconsult> 100% idle on the system for about 5 minuts now... and no sign of connection from backup to primary server
[23:47:35] <schultzconsult> qshape active is showing the correct numbers
[23:47:48] <bda> Check mail.crit to see if a misconfiguration is causing postfix to flap?
[23:48:16] <bda> Or that it's actually running, or yadda.
[23:48:39] <schultzconsult> ahe, it's just a bit slow, now something is happening
[23:48:49] <bda> Weird.
[23:50:18] <schultzconsult> yep, but the problem would not have been there in the first place if I could make the smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 2 work
[23:51:34] <schultzconsult> postfix does not react on it, some servers keep on sending 10+ e-mails in a row, which they should not be able to according to smtpd_client_connection_rate_limit = 2
[23:53:10] <bda> They are reusing the connection to send other messages, as opposed to making new connections for each message?
[23:53:37] <schultzconsult> ahe, so I need to stop them in sending more than one message at a time
[23:53:49] <bda> I suppose.
[23:54:05] <bda> Though it would probably be cheaper to just up the number of active smtpds to something reasonable.
[23:54:26] <schultzconsult> smtpd_client_connection_count_limit = 1
[23:54:37] <bda> Otherwise you are going to incur built/break-down as the sender has to discon/recon for the next message...
[23:54:42] <bda> shrug.
[23:54:46] <bda> smtpds are not expensive.
[23:55:17] <schultzconsult> it's just a temporar solution untill the new hardware is in place to keep up with 100.000 e-mails
[23:56:17] <schultzconsult> the problem is there is 10 servers constantly posting messages to the server for one e-mail address, and they are using all the smtpds
[23:56:56] <schultzconsult> if I can limit them to just use some and leave the rest for everybody else, then it would be nice
[23:56:58] <bda> I would use firewall rules to manage those connections.
