[00:09:51] *** Mazon is now known as mazon
[00:10:53] <Zordrack> quick question. if i wanted to reject a specific incomming mail address (user at domain dot tld) how i do that ?
[00:13:26] *** AJ_Z0 has quit IRC
[00:13:47] *** AJ_Z0 has joined #postfix
[00:14:28] <Zordrack> in this case it's root at ourdomain dot tld that's getting slammed and postfix is the first line of defense
[00:20:42] *** rmayorga has joined #postfix
[00:22:33] <Zordrack> anyone ?
[00:23:35] *** fholmes_laptop has quit IRC
[00:25:41] <shasta> man 5 access
[00:25:55] <shasta> man 5 postconf, see check_recipient_access
[00:26:08] <Zordrack> but isnt that just for general recipient rejection ?
[00:26:30] <Zordrack> as i read it it's kinda the opposite of what i want to do
[00:27:01] <shasta> you want to reject email based on sender address, or recipient address?
[00:27:27] <Zordrack> i want to reject a single recipient address that is on the local network
[00:27:41] <Zordrack> so it's part of the trusted relay networks
[00:27:59] <shasta> "on the local network"?
[00:28:45] <Zordrack> yeah, sorry. i'm one of those people who managed to get completely confuddled with postfix
[00:29:39] <Zordrack> postfix is the first line of defense here. the recipient address that i want to reject is user root on our domain
[00:30:20] <Zordrack> and normally postfix would just relay everything that comes in to that recipient domain to the novell groupwise server down the line
[00:30:21] <shasta> smtpd_recipient_restrictions = (...) check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient-access
[00:30:53] <shasta> echo "root at mydomain dot tld  REJECT" >> /etc/postfix/recipient-access
[00:30:57] <shasta> postmap /etc/postfix/recipient-access
[00:31:05] <shasta> see if that works :)
[00:31:17] <Zordrack> cool thanx, two sec

[00:39:08] *** storyteller has joined #postfix
[00:40:11] <storyteller> Good afternoon folks. I've been attempting to get posfix working properly for weeks now and I just got incoming mail working properly, but sending mail simply times out with both gmail and hotmail. Is there any way to troubl;eshoot why this is happening?
[00:41:01] <storyteller> I can see my connection timing out and being routed to different servers, but they all time out
[00:42:09] <shasta> you mean your postfix cannot connect to gmail/hotmail smtp servers to push your mails there?
[00:42:25] <storyteller> correct
[00:42:48] *** Taube is now known as taube
[00:42:49] <Zordrack> isp blocks outbound port 25 ?
[00:42:55] <jra> most likely a dynamic ip issue
[00:43:02] <shasta> maybe your (or your ISP's) firewall denies outgoing tcp/25 connections?
[00:43:22] <shasta> storyteller: telnet gsmtp163.google.com 25
[00:43:26] <storyteller> Incoming mail is working beautifully..I had been following way too complex of tutorials for 2 weeks and just got some help today setting postfix up properly in #archlinux, but noone was able to help me troubleshoot this issue there
[00:43:28] *** master_o1_master has joined #postfix
[00:44:39] <storyteller> Hmmm...just hanging there as well....
[00:45:02] <Zordrack> your isp blocks outbound port 25
[00:45:14] <Zordrack> see if they have a mail gateway you can relay through
[00:45:20] <storyteller> That looks to be the case...thank you very much for the help...I would have busted my brain all day on this one
[00:46:55] *** hachiya has joined #postfix
[00:48:30] <Zordrack> shasta> sorry, but what is the syntax between line one and two ? i typed it in as is and got a Fatal: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 560 missing '=' after attribute name "hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_access"
[00:48:59] <Zordrack> sorry, retyping this from another machine :)
[00:49:32] <shasta> check_recipient_access=hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_access
[00:49:46] *** sc00p has quit IRC
[00:49:51] <Zordrack> ahh gotcha, thanks
[00:49:59] <shasta> of course place it on appropriate place on restrictions list
[00:50:46] <Zordrack> hehe and where would that be ? the previous admin of this system hightailed it 2 weeks ago and it's my first time on it
[00:51:03] <shasta> storyteller: in case your isp has a mail gw you can relay through, see man 5 postconf, 'relayhost' description
[00:51:09] <shasta> Zordrack: depends on your setup, really :)
[00:51:42] <shasta> Zordrack: pastebin your postconf -n
[00:52:01] <Zordrack> homecooked gentoo based postfix/bogofilter/spamassasin/perl/bash scripting :)
[00:52:32] <Zordrack> hang on a sec. gotta find a way to get it onto this machine then

[01:03:27] *** jra has quit IRC
[01:06:16] <Zordrack> ok, here we go
[01:06:32] <Zordrack> how do you want to recieve the file ?
[01:07:45] <shasta> pastebin it
[01:08:14] <Zordrack> just paste it all into here ?
[01:09:51] <ptomter> i try to move files from a old mail folder to a newmail folder and I get this message : list is to long :
[01:10:13] <ptomter> how can I easely move old mails from one folder to another folder when mv. command cant work?
[01:10:13] <shasta> Zordrack: not here, http://rafb.net/paste/ for example
[01:10:37] *** meandtheshell has quit IRC
[01:10:51] <Zordrack> shasta> thanks, on my way
[01:11:48] <Zordrack> shasta> done: http://rafb.net/p/oN1zun97.html
[01:12:09] <shasta> ptomter: with some help of shell scripting? :) like (if you use bash):  for f in $(ls -1 /old/mail/folder/); do echo mv $f /new/mail/folder/; done
[01:12:33] <shasta> ptomter: if you're sure things that pop out on screen then are correct, remove "echo" from that one-liner
[01:12:38] <storyteller> Bah...the archlinux docs for setting up postfix with sasl point to an invalid server...time to write some letters...
[01:13:23] *** Mathman has left #postfix
[01:14:07] <ptomter> No easier way to move the files with the mv. command?
[01:14:39] *** GMFlash has joined #postfix
[01:15:29] <shasta> ptomter: you're probably doing `mv * blah/`. with many files in your current dir, there's a big chance '*' will be expanded to a list longer than 32767 characters (which is argv limit on x86 bash, if i recall correctly). you have to workaround it.
[01:16:05] <shasta> ptomter: that one-liner should do that if you understood my remarks about it
[01:19:03] <shasta> Zordrack: doesn't really matter where you it in your case as long as it's before 'permit'. you have to decide if you want to check recipient_access before RBL checks (saving some bandwidth off DNS queries) or after them
[01:19:58] *** Fullmoon has joined #postfix
[01:20:15] <shasta> Zordrack: that's a 2.1.5 postfix? :)
[01:21:00] *** Fullmoon has quit IRC
[01:21:02] <shasta> (if so, consult your local man pages for syntax, as it might have changed since then and I only have 2.3 manuals laying around, and no knowledge what was before)
[01:21:04] *** Fullmoon has joined #postfix
[01:23:55] <ptomter> shasta I tried the line and it worked fine. but when i moved the echo it would move the files
[01:24:40] <Zordrack> shasta> honestly i have no idea what version it is. but let me have a look. aside from that  does it look right ?
[01:25:21] <shasta> ptomter: ain't that what you wanted?
[01:26:01] <ptomter> I want to move the files from location a to location b: when i type :mysql -u root [-p] < DATABASE_MYSQL.TXT
[01:26:01] <ptomter> adduser -g users -s /bin/shell -p PRETERITUM -d /home/ptomter -m ptomter
[01:26:01] <ptomter> adduser -m tale
[01:26:01] <ptomter> tar -czvf home.tgz /home
[01:26:02] <shasta> Zordrack, it looks pretty much like a default config, so yeah
[01:26:05] <ptomter> ops sorry
[01:27:05] <ptomter> I want to move the files from location a to location b: when i type :for f in $(ls -1 /old/mail/folder/); do echo mv $f /new/mail/folder/; done : All the files is showing on the screen but when I delete the echo from the line it want move the files for me . Or did I do something wrong?
[01:28:34] <shasta> a) < ptomter> I want to move the files (...)
[01:28:41] <shasta> b) (...) when I delete the echo from the line it want move the files for me
[01:29:02] <shasta> i think i don't understand what you want :)
[01:29:49] <ptomter> it seems that the command line didnt work.
[01:30:07] <shasta> didn't move the files?
[01:30:15] <shasta> what error did you got
[01:31:33] <ptomter> I didnt get any error but when I go to the folder and the files isnt there.
[01:31:40] <ptomter> it is still in the old folder

[03:37:18] *** xpoint has quit IRC
[03:37:52] <storyteller> Usually they drag their feet and refuse to even test to see if their server is up because I'm running linux. I say "Ping your server, it's down" and they say "We just don't support linux, I'm sorry"
[03:38:50] <djs_2_6> That is why I NEVER tell them what I run.  They don't need any rope to hang me...]
[03:38:56] <storyteller> lol
[03:39:35] <djs_2_6> Well, if you read most of those agreements, they say only one computer hooked to the modem, and that is all they need to know about...
[03:40:00] <storyteller> I once told a tech I run linux and he said "Do you work for NASA?"
[03:40:36] <djs_2_6> I did not realize NASA used linux.  I thought they were mostly proprietary...
[03:41:22] <storyteller> He just assumed that only rocket scientists can run linux
[03:41:49] <djs_2_6> Well, occasionally, linux can be a PITA...
[03:42:13] <storyteller> I told him that I installed linux on my 59 year old computer illiterate mother-in-laws computer and she hasn't asked me for help once since.
[03:42:45] <storyteller> I spent 2 weeks running that box myself working out the bugs and it just works...really pleased with how that went
[03:43:01] <djs_2_6> I prefer xBSD myself.
[03:43:04] <rob0> Yeah it can be a great thing for people like that. Things work, no viruses.
[03:43:42] <storyteller> I figured she had been running windows 95, so KDE wasn't too much farther from what she ws used to than moving her to XP
[03:44:15] <djs_2_6> And way less crashing, even if she makes mistakes...
[03:44:22] <storyteller> I'm going to vmware BSD next week...I've finally gotten comfortable enough in linux to want to compare the 2
[03:44:43] <storyteller> Yes...totally...she hasn't messed anything up yet

[04:01:30] <xenoterracide> can I make it so postfix listens only on certain IP addresses?

[05:03:04] <bezerker> Greetings all.  I'm curious if there is any current updated version to the workaround.org isp style mail howto for Debian? I'm running debian etch and apparently the amavisd part (not entirely postfix related I know) is different. =P
[05:09:34] <lawnchair> hows it diff
[05:10:13] <lawnchair> etch doesnt use amavisd.conf anymore
[05:10:26] <lawnchair> but it has a conf.d/ with config files in there
[05:10:48] <lawnchair> you shouldnt have to touch amavisd-new all that much to get it workin

[05:15:51] <lawnchair> prolly not important than ;)
[05:15:56] *** Bronsky has joined #postfix
[05:15:59] <bezerker> ha hopefully not :P
[05:16:11] <lawnchair> i mean its a new version of amavisd-new
[05:16:20] <lawnchair> so things have been taken out etc....
[05:17:10] <bezerker> yeah. That's what I was figuring.  I'll poke around with it some more.  Just a bit pressured for time as i'm moving my mail off of my old server tonight and I don't have more time after that hehe. :)

[09:18:27] <prologic> Hey guys, in an ideal situation for mail servers, would you need the mail server's ip to match it'shostname
[09:18:59] <prologic> ie: a.b.c.d resolves to mail.foobart.com and mail.foobar.com resolves to a.b.c.d ?
[09:19:33] <f3ew> yes
[09:20:30] <prologic> k thanks
[09:21:13] <prologic> also I'm trying to find a solution to this
[09:21:24] <prologic> a few of my users want a their mailboxes to by blacklisted by deafult
[09:21:35] <prologic> ie: noone can send them emails- all get rejecteed
[09:21:40] <prologic> unless the user first sends them an email
[09:21:45] <f3ew> TMDA with the challenge-response disabled
[09:21:50] <prologic> probably inserting into some database and checking on incoming mail
[09:22:00] <prologic> TMDA ?
[09:22:29] <prologic> hrmm ok
[09:22:35] <prologic> care to elaborate a bit while I read :)
[09:22:59] <f3ew> TMDA does that already
[09:23:29] <prologic> does it work well with psotfix or can integrate into it ?
[09:23:40] <prologic> how does a user control their baclk/white lsits and/or other settings ?
[09:23:43] * prologic reads
[09:23:46] <f3ew> it works well, you might need to do some integration work

[09:25:07] <f3ew> I know it does what you want

[09:25:22] <f3ew> heh
[09:25:25] <prologic> hrmm
[09:25:30] <f3ew> write a policy daemon
[09:25:33] <prologic> you don't recommend it yet you point me to it :)

[09:25:50] <prologic> I could write anything time permitting :)
[09:25:55] <prologic> no I nkow :)
[09:25:56] <f3ew> I don't recommend spamassassin either
[09:26:01] <prologic> haha

[09:26:14] <prologic> and you'd better say postfix :)
[09:28:50] <danige> I would like to permit postfix to send only to my domains, but the list seems to be ignored and some use the server as an open relay... (I have now completely shut down postfix since I found out. what do I need to look at?) I followed the workaround stuff...

[09:48:28] <danige> mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
[09:49:03] <danige> the others seem to be able to come through as localhost spoofs...
[09:49:04] <Signum> danige: /etc/postfix/sender_access and /etc/postfix/recipient_access look reasonable?
[09:49:24] <Signum> danige: well, you trust localhost completely. is some web application on the same server generating mails?
[09:49:53] <danige> not so sure if this could be some php exploit...
[09:50:43] <danige> so sender access is only with actual domain names and recipient access are only my defined recipients, (email addresses on the server with the domains (no local mail))
[09:51:15] <danige> so I can remove the mynetworks to give it the names of my actual network domain names?
[09:51:32] <Signum> danige: mynetworks lists IP ranges - not domain names
[09:51:39] <danige> s/so I can/ So, can I
[09:52:03] <danige> yes. I have only one host to send from... so it would be 127.0.0.1
[09:52:03] <Signum> You can set "mynetworks=" if you like and see if the spam stops
[09:52:21] <danige> but then I can't send mail at all eh?
[09:52:35] <Signum> Not if you inject mails on port 25 to localhost.
[09:52:49] *** hparker has quit IRC

[09:57:28] <Signum> That's apparently not localhost. Hmmm.
[10:04:49] <f3ew> is there an ok in check_sender_access?

[10:07:23] <danige> http://pastebin.ca/460758
[10:07:46] <danige> is the mail header that made me worry I got this mail on my server and it seems to be sent from my server...
[10:11:09] <danige> I gotta go, sorry that I' can't wait... I will be back...

[11:46:00] <Malph> lol  I I think if I had more than one log to follow it wouldn't be so bad
[11:47:27] <Malph> whoever decided that this program needed to use an asp page to transmit it's email is a sadist
[11:47:45] <Malph> that comment in no way reflects on postfix
[11:48:25] <Roobarb> Malph: I use multitail for its line-colouring feature
[11:48:27] <renato> has anybody on here connected postfix with postgres?
[11:48:47] <f3ew> Malph yes
[11:48:48] <ek> renato: Looks like you're trying to connect to Postgres via secure socket layer. Make sure your PostgreSQL is properly set up.

[11:49:41] <renato> ek, postgres "should" be properly set up. googling about that error I found it sometimes to be related to postfix being chrooted

[11:50:17] <Malph> ek: not a single thing it's the way the pragram that is interfacing with postfix that is driving me nuts

[11:50:53] *** Taube is now known as taube
[11:51:12] *** taube is now known as Taube
[11:51:15] <renato> I am no expert , I had it running (a month or so ago) but I have not worked on it constantly and now that I am having a problem I am  a bit lost because I do not remember the whole issue well
[11:51:43] <ogreg> f3ew: server of my ISP doesn't know SASL
[11:51:51] <ek> renato: Well, understanding the problem would be step one. It's hard to help if you can't explain what is wrong.
[11:52:00] <Malph> I'm using a program called fogbugz from fogcreek and it uses an asp page to transmit it's email.  one email at a time and it's taking about 40 seconds per email for the page to do it's thing.
[11:52:24] <ek> Malph: Standard home ISP?
[11:53:04] <Malph> smtp relay from an onsite xserve to our smtp down in texas
[11:53:15] <f3ew> ogreg SASL is just the library
[11:53:22] <ek> renato: I'm not a big Postgres user... In fact, I highly recommend MySQL over it..
[11:53:31] <renato> first of all, in master.cf there are two setups, one is "smtps     inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd" and the other one is  "smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd" I guess smtps is smtp with ssl?
[11:53:32] <ek> But, that's only opinion (in a way).
[11:53:48] <f3ew> renato that's for mail entering postfix
[11:53:51] <f3ew> but yes
[11:54:06] <ek> Malph: Is the domain/IP able to relay without issues? Or are you suppose to have to authenticate to send mail?
[11:54:32] <renato> f3ew, so that has nothing to do with postfix  communicating to postgres with or without ssl...
[11:54:49] <Malph> our mail server in texas has our external IP whitelisted so we do not need authentication
[11:55:02] <renato> so what parapeter would determinne whether postfix wants to communicate with postgres with or without SSL?
[11:55:06] <renato> parameter
[11:55:43] <Malph> anyone outside of the office however needs to authenticate
[11:55:44] <ek> Malph: From the same machine, can you telnet to the SMTP port and send mail out?
[11:55:51] <Malph> yes

[11:57:10] <ek> ogreg: SASL1 or SASL2?
[11:57:32] <ek> Malph: Is the ASP page's IP any different than yours?
[11:57:44] <ek> Well, not page, but application.
[11:57:44] <Malph> no
[11:57:46] <ogreg> ek: 2

[16:13:48] <Mc_Fly> lunaphyte_: I just need a way to get a secondary mailserver.
[16:13:52] <lunaphyte_> why?
[16:14:21] <Mc_Fly> lunaphyte_: If my primary should crash or the net be unavaileble

[16:14:53] *** cutmasta has joined #postfix
[16:14:54] <lunaphyte_> my opinion, anyway.
[16:16:13] <lunaphyte_> is your mailserver a colo'd server or a package from the hosting company?
[16:16:48] <Mc_Fly> lunaphyte_: it's my own server, running gentoo linux
[16:16:55] *** Lap_64 has quit IRC
[16:18:16] <lunaphyte_> if you want some sort of protection again non-service related outages (e.g. horrific crashes, physical hardware failure, etc.) then install another server.
[16:18:29] <lunaphyte_> mirror the setup, and switch to if if needed.
[16:18:48] <lunaphyte_> probably prohibitively expensive, iyam.
[16:19:06] <lunaphyte_> well, i take that back.
[16:20:23] <Mc_Fly> lunaphyte_: hehe, one server in that enviroment is eneugh ;-)
[16:20:49] <Mc_Fly> lunaphyte_: there are no free services out there are there?
[16:21:11] <lunaphyte_> if you kept the backup machine offsite, and could replace it in a reasonable amount of time.
[16:21:32] <lunaphyte_> there are plenty of free services.
[16:21:38] <lunaphyte_> you'll probably get what you pay for though.
[16:22:01] <Mc_Fly> lunaphyte_: like what?

[18:58:39] <ribasushi> hi
[18:59:24] <flami> hey
[18:59:29] <ribasushi> is there a compromise way to run postfix with mailscanner, or they are just designed to by fully incompatible with each other in any configuration?
[18:59:41] <ribasushi> I have been playing with amavisd-new - it is clearl an inferior product
[19:00:10] <flami> what are you missing then ?
[19:00:45] <ribasushi> flami: you mean what is it I do not like about amavisd?
[19:00:54] <flami> yeah ^^
[19:01:43] <flami> http://www.mailscanner.info/postfix.html you mean this mailscanner ?
[19:02:01] <ribasushi> in my setup virus/attachment/link checks are critical, whereas spam checks are just for convenience (users can even opt out)
[19:02:24] <ribasushi> amavis falls flat on its face, in the former - it can simply let a message through, or not
[19:02:30] <ribasushi> no message modification whatsoever
[19:02:40] <ribasushi> (stripping attachments, changing links, etc)
[19:02:53] <ribasushi> flami: this mailscanner yes
[19:02:59] <flami> ahh well ^^ I dont like changing content
[19:03:14] <ribasushi> flami: problem being it wants access to the queue, postfix does not like to have its queue touched
[19:03:16] <flami> so I guess thats the guide to run mailscanner with postfix
[19:03:22] <flami> ahh
[19:03:40] <ribasushi> I really like postfix though
[19:03:51] <ribasushi> very clever setup and all
[19:04:32] <ribasushi> flami: this is corporate environment with dumb office clerks
[19:04:38] <ribasushi> you don't change the content - no one will
[19:04:46] <ribasushi> and double clicks will fly
[19:05:37] <flami> hehe :P the mail wont arrive at all it gets stuck in spamassassin ( well it will arrive but then be in the spambucket where noone looks at it )
[19:05:59] <ribasushi> no spamassasin :)
[19:06:12] <ribasushi> I never mentioned this three legged perl beast
[19:06:54] <flami> I read that mailscanner doc bt it seems as if it could access the queue :/ dont know though im happy with my amavis+SA setup ^^
[19:07:43] <ribasushi> flami: so basically you are counting on the fact that the viral email will have spam content and will be caught by your spam filtering
[19:07:59] <ribasushi> flami: now what if you have a _targetted_ malware sending?
[19:08:52] *** seekwill has joined #postfix
[19:09:56] <flami> I mean spam isnt only "viagra" lots of fake links are in blaclists quite quickly and most of the stuff that arrives at my door will be in spam or virus quanrantine.
[19:10:19] <flami> you cant say this mailscanner finds everything
[19:13:42] *** frb-work has joined #postfix
[19:13:57] <frb-work> Hi, how do I empty the Queue without delivering the mails?
[19:14:06] <jeffrey> postsuper -d ALL
[19:14:29] <frb-work> thanks, I knew how to flush the queue, but not clear it
[19:14:53] <jeffrey> isn't that the same thing ?
[19:15:00] <jeffrey> oh flush meaning re-run
[19:15:40] <frb-work> yeah, /etc/init.d/postfix flush will reprocess the queue
[19:15:57] <rob0> ribasushi: a friend of mine has a Mailscanner howto: http://wiki.slackadelic.com/doku.php/howto:mailserver
[19:16:36] * cpm scans rob0
[19:16:48] <cpm> you could just set to deliver to /dev/null
[19:16:55] <cpm> at least then you'd know where it went
[19:16:56] <rob0> I'd advise caution, because even if it works reliably now, it might break without warning in the future.
[19:17:13] <jeffrey> anyone good using domainkeys ?
[19:17:21] <jeffrey> s/using/setting up
[19:17:30] <rob0> (I guess "without warning" is wrong, because it would be okay until you upgraded Postfix or Mailscanner.)
[19:17:55] <rob0> Dave Null reads all my mail. Saves me a lot of time.
[19:18:18] <rob0> Dave's my administrative assistant.
[19:19:32] *** amrit|zzz is now known as amrit|wrk
[19:20:04] <ribasushi> rob0: it is still ugly... I am almost tempted to add smtp/lmtp support to mailscanner myself
[19:20:38] <rob0> Oh, if mailscanner went to LMTP, it would be 100% compatible with Postfix.
[19:21:11] <ribasushi> I know... I spent a week getting the hang of both amavis and postfix
[19:21:17] <rob0> Reading the queue files directly was a lousy idea in the first place.
[19:21:27] <ribasushi> it's just this "no mail should be ever modified" is a dead-end approach
[19:21:29] <rob0> What's wrong with amavisd-new?

[19:22:58] <ribasushi> yes... mailscanner definitely needs an smtp interface

[19:56:10] <NoFX_SBC> i send a message from:me at hotmail dot com to:me at hotmail dot com using my own smtp(smtp.mydomain.com) and the hotmail receive the message and save in my inbox but if i send a message from:me at mydomain dot com.br to:me at hotmail dot com hotmail receive the message and save in my spambox.. how do this possible?
[19:59:20] *** _colin_ has quit IRC
[19:59:27] <NoFX_SBC> any idea?!
[19:59:45] <cos> I'm having trouble.  Trying to use canonical to rewrite an faulty domain from a legacy server, but it's not getting rewritten.
[20:00:03] *** Taube is now known as taube
[20:00:48] <cos> NoFX: it's entirely possible.  do we know what criteria exctly hotmail uses to determine what is spam?  I doubt they tell anyone.  but you should have a way to mark the message "not spam" and if you do that you might train hotmail to recognize it is not
[20:01:41] *** earthian has quit IRC
[20:03:37] *** eltech has joined #postfix
[20:06:56] <smesjz> NoFX_SBC: one part that contributes is that you send mail from a @hotmail.com address using your own mailserver. Hotmail.com's SPF/Sender-ID/whatever-they-call-it-now might not like this
[20:07:03] <aluchko> NoFX_SBC, could hotmail be suspicious why mail from hotmail.com is going through an external smtp server? (disclaimer: I'm not terribly knowledgeable about mail server stuff)
[20:07:35] <NoFX_SBC> cos i not understand howto hotmail smtps servers accept a msg incoming from a strange smtp(smtp.mydomain.com) with from:me at hotmail dot com
[20:09:11] <NoFX_SBC> s/howto/how
[20:11:15] <cos> smesj,aluchko: he said the opposite of what you seem to think he said.  (though maybe he said the opposite of what he meant, I don't know)
[20:11:51] <cos> NoFX: there's no reason they wouldn't accept it unless they were configured not to accept it.  it's their choice.  there's nothing impossible about it.
[20:13:19] <cos> so, I have an entry in canonical to rewrite "localhost.localdomain" to ourdomain.com, because we have one legacy server that generates all its email from @localhost.localdomain
[20:13:25] <cos> but the rewrite isn't working
[20:13:39] <cos> "postmap -q localhost.localdomain canonical" gives the right answer
[20:13:45] * aluchko is thinking the opposite of what he thinks he's thinking
[20:14:02] * rob0 thinks the opposite of what cpm is thinking
[20:14:03] <cos> the legacy server is in mynetworks, and I added permit_mynetworks to local_header_rewrite_clients
[20:14:15] <rob0> (or, I think so, anyway)
[20:14:16] <cos> I also tried setting local_header_rewrite_clients to static:all
[20:14:39] * smesjz inverts rob0
[20:14:45] <rob0> cos, "postconf canonical_maps"
[20:14:46] <cos> but that mail keeps getting delivered with @localhost.localdomain intact, not rewritten
[20:15:19] * rob0 is umop episdn
[20:15:33] <cos> rob0: that gives me what I expect, canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical
[20:16:04] <rob0> I've never used canonical(5) so I don't know any more than that.
[20:16:35] <rob0> I can only suggest the address rewriting README and "man 5 canonical".
[20:17:26] <cos> I have read the address rewriting README twice over :/
[20:17:32] <cos> and the man page for canonical
[20:18:07] <cos> also I have other entries in the canonical map that *do* work, though they are for servers that are configured to use this server as their relay_host
[20:18:33] <cos> so it's a different situation, because this entry is intended for mail delivered "normally"
[20:19:01] <cos> (which is to: virtual users, so it gets sent on to other places)
[20:19:35] <rob0> !debug
[20:19:36] <knoba> rob0: 'debug' : http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html : a good starting point for how to deal with problems and to report information to those who might help. Post your information in a pastebin such as http://pastebin.com/ or http://rafb.net/paste/ .
[20:20:12] <rob0> cos, if you want to post your "postconf -n" and logs of what's happening and the contents of the canonical map, I'll look.
[20:20:26] <rob0> no guarantees I can figure it out of course :)

[20:43:21] <renkho> ?.. ok
[20:43:29] <rob0> That "reject" on the end would sure do it. :)
[20:43:42] <smesjz> I assume you have a check_sender_access somewhere that blocks gmail
[20:44:07] <renkho> nothing
[20:44:37] <cos> renkho: that smtpd_sender_restrictions line tells postfix: permit mail from my local networks, then permit anyone who does pop before smtp, and otherwise, reject.
[20:44:55] <cos> IOW, you told postfix to reject *everyone* except your local networks and those who do pop before smtp
[20:44:56] <rob0> And your pop-before-SMTP kludge will not do what you expect, being in smtpd_sender_restrictions. You need that in smtpd_recipient_restrictions.

[21:08:07] <rob0> "Relay access denied" means that the @fileserviceholding.com was not recognized as a destination on this machine.
[21:08:40] <renkho> cos: now i have this error :Relay access denied;
[21:09:20] <cos> renkho: what are your mydomains?
[21:09:41] <cos> (the list of domains your postfix is supposed to believe are itself)
[21:10:00] <renkho> mydomain= viaperu.com
[21:10:17] <renkho> mmmm there are a lot of domains :s
[21:10:18] <rob0> mydestination, NOT mydomain
[21:10:19] <renkho> on the server
[21:10:57] <rob0> or, virtual_mailbox_domains, or virtual_alias_domains
[21:11:08] <renkho> no is not configured as virtual_*
[21:11:18] <renkho> was working without that
[21:11:38] <rob0> "postconf mydestination"
[21:12:18] <renkho> mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
[21:12:59] <cos> ahh, okay
[21:13:24] <cos> you probably want something like this:
[21:13:24] <cos> mydestination = $myhostname, localhost, localhost.$mydomain, /etc/postfix/domains.local
[21:13:37] <cos> and then in the domains.local file, list all the domains you want to treat as local to your server
[21:13:42] <cos> (one domain per line)
[21:13:49] <renkho> ok, let me try
[21:14:15] <cos> you also probably want to read the basic configuration docs at postfix.org
[21:14:18] *** Ryushin has joined #postfix
[21:14:30] <cos> since it sounds like you're using a configuration that was not made for your environment, and you'll run into lots of problems
[21:14:57] <cos> so you want to go through all of your important configuration variables and figure out what you need to do with each one, one by one

[21:20:35] <renkho> also learn a bit of awk and cut was useful this time :D

[21:28:17] <Indy7759> actually, I'm having a somewhat similar problem. I have a local host w/ bugzilla installed and it needs to send mail out. my mail hosting is done by an outside hosting company so when I send email from my internal network, it doesn't have a dns entry for it, so the host bounces it. any suggestions?

[21:48:06] <kwame> I send an email to my test account, and it does not reach the recipient, but it does not bounces it back
[21:48:14] <kwame> where can I look for troubleshoot?

[21:58:43] <x-ip> yesss
[22:00:10] <cos> kwame: look at the logfile.  tail -f the logfile when you send the email and watch what happens.
[22:00:38] <cos> (postfix uses syslog to log, so look at your syslog.conf if you don't know where mail.* gets logged to)

[22:51:59] <jpaetzel> I'm running postfix with virtual users and dspam and I have a couple of questions, one of which is maybe more of a dspam question.
[22:52:21] <jpaetzel> I have: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, check_recipient_access pcre:/us
[22:52:22] <jpaetzel> r/local/etc/postfix/dspam_incoming
[22:52:49] <jpaetzel> Which works fine, except for a small annoyance, in that email to invalid system users gets handed off to dspam.
[22:52:56] <jpaetzel> err, invalid users.
[22:53:48] <jpaetzel> I would think that having reject_unauth_destination listed before dspam would prevent that from happening, but it's not.
[22:55:03] <jpaetzel> And my second question is how the heck do I do server side mail filtering when using the virtual delivery agent?
[22:55:42] <jpaetzel> I was thinking maybe I could get dspam to do final delivery via maildrop, but maybe there's a better way?
[22:57:06] <Zerberus> jpaetzel:  reject_unlisted_recipient
[22:57:45] <jpaetzel> great...thanks. :)

[23:10:33] *** madclicker has quit IRC
[23:10:46] <jpaetzel> afaik sieve is going to be no different than procmail or maildrop.
[23:12:33] <jpaetzel> I'm more than willing to be educated here, but my understanding of postfix's virtual delivery agent is it doesn't support such mechanisms.
