[00:13:47] <jcrites> hey
[00:13:56] <jcrites> how much mail can I expect a good performance machine with Postfix to deliver per hour?
[00:16:08] *** brancaleone has quit IRC
[00:16:45] <cafuego> Depends on whether it's a good performance laptop or a good performance multi-cpu multi-core box with SAN storage and lots of gb of ram that doesn't do anything else.
[00:17:33] <jcrites> I'm just trying to get a benchmark.... on a dedicated server is it easy to get 500K/hr?
[00:17:52] <jcrites> I could probably set up something like you described, if that was the way to do it
[00:18:06] <jcrites> but I should also consider the price/performance of having a fleet of cheap machines :) I am just trying to get a baseline idea
[00:19:12] <jcrites> the company I work for sends a large volume of subscription mail to its customers, and I think we spend more money on custom MTA stuff than we ought to

[00:24:31] <oblio> hola
[00:25:31] <oblio> if qmgr happens to be erroring with this, what might it indicate?
[00:25:32] <oblio> status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: conversation with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] timed out while receiving the initial server greeting)
[00:25:54] <oblio> who is qmgr trying to talk to that is timing out?
[00:26:03] <oblio> port 25 seems fine and responsive
[00:29:16] <jcrites> so anyone have an idea how much mail I could get per hour out of a dedicated postfix server?

[00:33:40] * hparker thought rob0 ran 127.0.0.1... damnit, google failed me again
[00:41:36] <tshine> 127.0.0.1 is a labor of love. We ALL run it. It's just THAT special :)
[00:42:17] <oblio> hparker: yeah.. amavis is being a tardo it would appear
[00:42:36] <oblio> i just commented out the content-filter for now
[00:42:47] <oblio> looks like i'm at least delivering mail now
[00:42:48] <oblio> yayz
[00:43:23] <hparker> eww.. unfiltered mail... My phone would cry in pain if I did that

[01:13:53] <zention> I have got a remote server running postfix - I don't have many users just me really - is there a quick way to setup a secure link for retrieving mail?
[01:14:27] <zention> at the mo I am just sshing and using mail :) but I would like to retrieve the mail to the lan
[01:15:01] <zention> in the past I have used various web based setups using ssl to keep the connection and login secure
[01:16:31] <zention> something over ssh would be a good solution
[01:17:22] <zention> or perhaps I just run a mail server locally and retrieve but then I would have to open the firewall
[01:17:38] <rob0> Retrieving mail would be an IMAP thing, i.e., not Postfix.
[01:17:48] <zention> s/retrieve/push to/
[01:18:10] <zention> yeah I thought it would need something extra
[01:18:26] <zention> I just want that extra thing to be liteweight
[01:18:30] <zention> and secure
[01:21:30] <rob0> If you run a Postfix at home, you could relay to it, relay_domains.
[01:22:05] *** duki has quit IRC
[01:22:10] <rob0> (that's what I do)
[01:22:18] <zention> are you behind a firewall?
[01:22:30] <rob0> and yes, TLS is not very difficult to set up.
[01:23:04] <zention> I am not so concerned about the mail being encrypted moreso the login details
[01:23:41] <zention> but hey really mail should be encrytped
[01:24:01] <zention> are many ISPs using TLS?
[01:25:20] <zention> yeah I think a secure relay is probably what I want thanks rob0
[01:26:17] <rob0> As far as opening the firewall is concerned, you only need one port opened to one host, which you presumably control.
[01:26:36] <zention> I am assuming I can trigger the relay
[01:27:00] <zention> so just connect from the lan via the lan's external ip onto the remote machine
[01:27:06] <rob0> home isn't online full-time? See ETRN_README.

[02:38:29] <k-man> how can i set up postfix to filter emails that contain virus? or virii?
[02:40:28] * hparker uses clamav called from amavisd-new
[02:43:36] <shasta> ... which is quite a common setup
[02:43:42] <k-man> ok
[02:43:51] <k-man> is there a guide to that you can recommend?
[02:44:28] <hparker> both postfix and amavisd-new have docs covering how to implement that
[02:44:37] <k-man> thanks
[02:44:49] <hparker> shasta: c'mon, i wanna feel special ;)
[02:45:24] <shasta> not this time, sorry (-;
[02:46:03] <hparker> heh
[02:48:23] *** internat2 has joined #postfix
[02:51:12] <k-man> hparker, so when it detects a virus, does it just not send that email? or does it inform the receiver somehow? or what?
[02:51:26] <shasta> depends on how you configure it
[02:51:30] <shasta> read the docs :)
[02:51:42] <shasta> hparker, if you want to feel special, run qmail (-8
[02:52:57] <hparker> that would qualify me as one of Jerry's Kids, yes
[02:53:55] <rob0> I was just looking at qmail.org
[02:54:40] <rob0> "[Daniel J. Bernstein] has three suggestions for allowing your users to relay when they're not at a known IP address (which is the FAQ 5.4 solution):"
[02:54:48] <rob0> Incredibly LAME.
[02:55:37] <rob0> One of the suggestions wasn't lame, but it isn't practical. That was to use PGP signatures for relay auth.
[02:56:09] <hparker> hey Mr. CEO, I need your PGP key
[02:56:48] <rob0> The other 2 suggestions were plain old security-through-obscurity BS.

[06:12:28] <deevil> hi, I have 2 sequential ip addresses configured on the same nic, and I want postfix to bind itself only to the higher number ip, so I put that ip in inet_interfaces and "netstat -na | grep .25" shows that it's listening on that ip, but when the machine sends mail, it connects to their server from the lower ip..?
[06:12:55] <hparker> there's like bind_ip or something
[06:13:11] <deevil> oh, thanks, I'll look into that
[06:13:56] <deevil> hrmm. don't see "bind" in the conf
[06:16:01] *** fluffles has joined #postfix
[06:16:16] <fluffles> hi, can i make postfix listen on another port than the default 25?
[06:16:25] <fluffles> i do not see a "listen" or "bind" option in main.cf
[06:16:36] <fluffles> like in httpd.conf
[06:16:55] <hparker> what problem are you trying to solve?
[06:17:13] <fluffles> i want to test the config before i replace the current SMTP daemon (exim)
[06:17:37] <fluffles> so see if i can login witht he same passwords etc, if it works well, ill let it run on port 25 instead so it fluently can replace my old daemon
[06:17:51] <hparker> I would enable submission and test it there
[06:18:06] <fluffles> submission?
[06:18:16] <fluffles> is there no way to let postfix run on another port than 25?
[06:18:48] <hparker> The submission port is 567 iirc.. Standard port for remote auth
[06:20:14] <fluffles> i dont know what submission is, i do know that SMTP is port 25, and i was hoping i could (temporarily) change that to 26 or so, so i wouldn't have to kill off my old smtp server while testing this new postfix daemon
[06:21:45] <deevil> I'm not sure this'll work, but it should..? add an "smtp-test" entry in /etc/services with the port you'd like to use, and change "smtp" in master.cf to "smtp-test"
[06:21:57] <f3ew> fluffles submission is 587
[06:23:26] <fluffles> f3ew: ok but if i run postfix now it'll try to bind to port 25, which is not possible because another daemon is bound to that port on this interface.
[06:23:31] <fluffles> deevil: thanks ill try that!

[06:32:52] <deevil> can anyone help with making postfix send from a specific ip on my machine.? it's listening on the ip i'd like it to, but it's sending from the other ip
[06:33:02] <fluffles> deevil i mean
[06:33:15] <f3ew> deevil smtp_bind_address
[06:33:15] <deevil> fluffles: cool, glad it worked

[06:56:15] *** Aletheuo has joined #postfix
[06:59:25] <Aletheuo> I've got a box with 4 ip's, with postfix configured to relay inbound for 4 email domains, how do I get postfix to send out email for each email domain on its own unique ip?
[07:01:37] * hparker thinks that would require 4 different postfix instances
[07:01:57] <Aletheuo> ah, I was hoping to avoid that if its possible
[07:02:25] <Aletheuo> that would mean 4 instances of postfix / amavisd-new / spamassassin / clamav too right?
[07:02:39] <hparker> I'm not sure on that part
[07:03:22] <Aletheuo> the reason I'm having to do this is so that each outbound email looks like it came from its down domain/ip etc
[07:03:48] <Aletheuo> *own
[07:03:56] <hparker> Yeah, figured as much... Not sure why it'd make a bit of difference, but whatever ;)
[07:04:44] <Aletheuo> to prevent recipients from thinking its spam or raising suspicion on their end, if an email arrived from a domain that didn't reverse back to the same domain/ip
[07:05:17] <hparker> i host ~30 domains on one IP without problems... Other then the normal problem sites like hotmail
[07:05:59] <hparker> As long as helo, dns, and rDNS match there should be no suspicion
[07:06:23] *** DarklyCute has joined #postfix
[07:06:39] <Aletheuo> how do you get helo to match, won't it helo the 1st domain only?
[07:07:12] <hparker> my helo == dns == rDNS
[07:07:40] <hparker> As long as those pass it shouldn't matter about domains within the email
[07:08:00] <Aletheuo> what issue are you having with hotmail?
[07:08:23] *** DarklyCute has quit IRC
[07:08:59] <hparker> the same as everyone else... some email makes it.. some ends up in junk.. And some is never seen again
[07:10:00] <hparker> I just explain to anyone that asks that hotmail shouldn't be used for anything beyond forwarding jokes, smoke signals are more likely to make it to the recipient
[07:10:20] <Aletheuo> hehe
[07:10:33] <Aletheuo> ic
[07:10:34] <hparker> And yet my brother keeps using them... oh well
[07:10:48] <Aletheuo> so hotmail hasn't gotten into dkim yet I guess
[07:10:53] <hparker> We talk on the phone often enough it's not a problem
[07:11:08] <hparker> Not sure if they've adopted it or not
[07:11:30] <hparker> i've not even thought about adding it yet as it's been too much of a moving target
[07:11:56] <Aletheuo> its another one of my projects
[07:13:14] <Aletheuo> my boss wants our postfix box to answer for multiple domains, but each domain on its own ip, I gotta figure that out
[07:13:35] <Aletheuo> receiving is simple, just have postfix listen on all interfaces, its the sending thats tough
[07:14:25] <hparker> Have you searched the list yet? It comes up there, that's where I heard about multiple instances at
[07:15:21] <Aletheuo> no I haven't yet, I guess I'll check there now
[07:15:45] <Aletheuo> I guess most are asleep on here right now hehe, wish I was too actually
[07:16:16] <hparker> yeah, just after midnight here.. not sure how much longer i'm going to be here
[07:17:26] <Aletheuo> you must be central aswell, feels like 1:17am actually if it wasn't for the time change
[07:18:00] <hparker> heh.. yeah.. watched it be 1am twice last night.. was a lot tireder the second time for some reason
[07:18:37] <Aletheuo> hehe
[07:20:37] <Aletheuo> is there a searchable maillist?
[07:20:58] <hparker> i think gmane and marc have an archive

[10:22:59] <zoggy> good morning, sorry to bother, please could someone point me in the right direction. i'm not sure what to google for, but we have 2 mail servers, setup so that one is a satellite to the other, mail on the primary mail server goes immediately, but the mail from the satellite takes literally hours. where could i even start to research this? thanks in advance
[10:23:54] <dragonheart> what do the logs on the second server say? whats the configuration of the second server?
[10:23:57] <zoggy> ..even if i could just do some debugging on one email, i might be able to track it down, but i'm not sure where/how to achieve that

[10:49:20] <shinao1> hi.. i hope someone here has the time for a very silly noob.. ive been trying to setup postfix on a rpm-based distro called startcom linux. i need postfix to be able to connect to ldap on my samba-domain, and then send the local emails to the recipients email directory in /home/vmail/$user, and for the user to pick it up with dovecot. Dovecot also queries the ldap domain to ascertain that the user exists on the system.but ive become thoroughly confused.
[10:49:22] <shinao1> . postix accepts the emails and puts it in the queue, and i can neither see the emails in the external mail addresses ive been sending to, and i cant see the emails sent to local users either, in vmail? I wonder if someone can take a look at my main.cf and help recommend changes, or tell me what i should really be doing! :) id be very grateful. ive spent a great amount of time on this and i seem to be heading nowhere.

[11:13:42] <shinao1> isnt that whats supposed to be in the main.cf under minimum_uid/gid dragonheart ?

[11:27:57] <Sitting_Bull> is there a way to ger postfix to create the mail user's folders with mode 770 automatically?
[11:28:02] <Sitting_Bull> *get
[11:28:37] <Sitting_Bull> dovecot seem to want 770 set to the mailfolders of the users to be able to access it
[11:28:57] <Sitting_Bull> or can i change something in dovecot that anybody know of?
[11:29:45] <zoggy> dragonheart: regarding the primary and satellite postfix server conf issue that i mentioned earlier, did my confs look ok?
[11:30:22] <dragonheart> Sitting_Bull: umask setting?

[11:34:00] <dragonheart> zoggy: no - but mroe logs
[11:34:18] <dragonheart> btw peoples i'm trying to solve some of my own faults too
[11:35:11] <dragonheart> shinao1: you can read the manual on minimum_uid as well as i can
[11:37:16] <shinao1> ok
[11:37:21] <shinao1> thanks anyway :)
[11:37:30] <shinao1> but does my main.cf check out?
[11:39:07] <dragonheart> shinao1: check default minium gid value and if it above 101 that could be your cause
[11:39:20] <dragonheart> postconfig -n | fgrep minium
[11:39:27] <dragonheart> postconf-n | fgrep minium
[11:39:34] <wsxws> hm, that have been easy, whysoever that isnt in the howtow i sfound so far
[11:39:35] <dragonheart> omit -n too
[11:40:00] <wsxws> so just opne problem is still there, spamassassin ist filtering but does not modify the header

[14:07:28] <cpm> you always need encryption, unless you are rob0
[14:07:48] <cpm> ssh is just a handy tool, not as handy as nc, but still, pretty handy

[14:37:08] <wsxws> and sorry, but if u ask a total of 5 questions and only one of them becomes answered it be be frustrating
[14:37:17] <wsxws> +can
[14:38:20] <rob0> Here's a lesson, then. IRC does not revolve around you. People have jobs and responsibilities. Be thankful and consider yourself lucky for ANYTHING you get.
[14:38:20] <wsxws> the first really usefull answaer has been that one with the users and groupd of clamav and amavis (is came from sysmonk) and i really appreceate thatone
[14:39:02] <rob0> You were asking way off-topic questions, like how to manage your distro.
[14:39:16] <wsxws> im on irc for 11 years now and have been used to hel in 'help on dalnet for 6 years, i still help users on irc on another network and i know that this all all volunteers
[14:39:42] <wsxws> secand all should be an are
[14:40:47] <cpm> 'secand all should be an are' ?? WTF?
[14:40:52] <wsxws> and i did not think thos question would be that out of topic cause they all belong to this postfix-based emailsystem
[14:41:15] <wsxws> cpm that shopuld have been the corrention for the sentence before
[14:41:47] <wsxws> all all volunteers = all are volunteers
[14:44:06] <wsxws> i meanwhile fixed all problems which appeared by myself (exept that one sysmonk helped, thanks again) and the last error over here is a postfix-error
[14:44:46] <wsxws> according to the log : static postfix/pipe
[14:48:17] <rob0> Anyway, not that you deserve an answer, but the proper way to handle mail to root is via aliases(5). And I have no idea about Cyrus.
[14:50:09] <wsxws> i guess the most of u already has been pissed because of nonworking configfiles for hours too, so if i offend u i herewithin appologize for that

[15:24:25] <amaia> hi everyone... i have a problem: when i try to send an e-mail to an allusers@ list, my server stops responding because postfix opens a large number of "local" processes and the uptime rises to 60 for a few minutes
[15:24:31] <amaia> is there a way to prevent this?
[15:25:19] <amaia> i think what is happening is that postfix tries to deliver the e-mail to all users at the same time and opens hundreds of simultaneous processes that hang the machine
[15:28:11] <kamihacker> I am not familiar with postfix
[15:28:16] <kamihacker> but google using the keywords

[15:32:19] *** solar_ant has quit IRC
[15:32:21] <kamihacker> amaia, did you read/skim all the possible commands on main.cf for postfix ?
[15:32:40] <cpm> amaia,
[15:33:05] <cpm> set your local_destination_concurrency_limit to something like 2 and stop and then start postfix and try again.
[15:33:36] <cpm> also, what says;
[15:33:39] <cpm> postconf default_destination_concurrency_limit
[15:33:40] <cpm> ?
[15:34:01] <amaia> 20
[15:34:28] <cpm> k
[15:34:38] <amaia> the local_destination_concurrency_limit is already set at 2 by default
[15:34:45] <cpm> k
[15:34:47] <amaia> i ran postconf local_destination_concurrency_limit
[15:35:06] *** UQlev has joined #postfix
[15:35:07] <amaia> so, it shouldnt be because of that, right?
[15:35:12] <cpm> nope.
[15:35:53] <cpm> however, it should only attempt 2 local destinations per
[15:35:56] <cpm> not hundreds
[15:36:13] <amaia> and, what is the default_destination_concurrency_limit for?
[15:36:14] <cpm> what's this '@list' bit? Are you using a list manager of some kind?
[15:38:03] <amaia> mailman
[15:38:17] <amaia> but the processes that i see at "top" are from user "postfix"
[15:42:01] <amaia> cpm, "The local_destination_concurrency_limit parameter controls how many messages are delivered simultaneously to the same local recipient." this is for user.... my destination is 1000+ different users, so this setting doesnt apply
[15:44:18] <cpm> ah, yes.
[15:44:26] <cpm> there is one just for mailman though.
[15:44:43] <cpm> do you have a mailman transport set?
[15:45:35] <Edward123> hrm i think i've somehow broken postfix's access to the lmtp socket, i don't see how though, it's got rwx for everyone: srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 6 2007 lmtp
[15:46:13] <cpm> amaia, are you using the postfix to mailman py script?
[15:46:27] <amaia> cpm, i think not... i have the default instalation... the mail is delivered via the /etc/aliases to mailman: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"

[15:55:30] <cpm> how are you launching into clam? using amavis? or doing it some other way?
[15:55:58] <cpm> I do not have this issue. The largest mailing list I have is only about 1200 members, and postings come and go. No biggie
[15:56:09] <cpm> they just kinda chunk on through,
[15:57:39] <cpm> but then again,
[15:57:44] <cpm> I don't have any local users.
[15:58:58] <amaia> cpm, i think the problem is really about they beeing local -> the hard disk doesn't handle the i/o
[15:59:29] <cpm> could be.
[15:59:47] <cpm> when you see those loads of 60, where is the issue? Is it in cpu? or iowait?

[17:44:58] <tshine> staimeer: if your DNS stuff is set up good and you aren't on any blacklists (as you have confirmed) then it's either the subject line or the email body that's causing your mails to arrive in the spam folder
[17:50:34] <staimeer> tshine The times the email passes, and the majority falls on spam
[17:57:28] <staimeer> tshine sometimes the emails go directly to* inbox, but most of the times* go to the "spam" box

[18:56:31] <Petaris> Hello
[18:58:06] <Petaris> I want to blacklist an email address for all of my users, I found instructions on how to do so but I have a question on them. They start out with a sender_access file then when specifying the check in main.cf they reference sender_checks file
[18:58:52] <Petaris> The instructions given are as follows: create and edit /etc/postfix/sender_access
[18:59:35] <Petaris> put the email address in -> someuser at somewhere dot com REJECT
[18:59:56] <Petaris> save the file then issue: postmap hash:sender_access
[19:00:25] <Petaris> open main.cf and add: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_checks
[19:00:36] <Petaris> restart postfix
[19:01:16] <Petaris> so is that correct or did they mean to use: hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access there?
[19:06:23] <emo_ninja> they meant to use /etc/postfix/sender_access (or whatever file you created your map in)
[19:06:29] <flami> I that should be sender_access . cant really use a file taht doesnt exist ^^

[20:08:01] <tshine> jodi2: nothing wrong with changing the IP, just make sure your DNS records are in place before sending mail
[20:08:35] <tshine> that's A record, MX record rDNS and for extra points SPF
[20:09:05] <unixcoder> and if u don't want to lose mails while the dns are updating use a backup mx ..

[20:10:08] <tshine> the_sniff: is it because of greylisting?
[20:10:17] <the_sniff> whats greylisting?
[20:10:35] <wdp> greylisting is like a girl
[20:10:45] <wdp> you can't life without it
[20:10:51] <wdp> live?life? whatever
[20:11:03]
[20:11:09] <wdp> the_sniff, ever tried google?
[20:11:20] <wdp> the_sniff, or wikipedia?
[20:11:24] <the_sniff> HMM
[20:11:27] <the_sniff> well
[20:11:37] <the_sniff> someone might just say what greylisting is
[20:11:44] <the_sniff> instead of hinting over it
[20:11:51] <the_sniff> ever heard of not being the riddler?
[20:11:53] *** meandtheshell has quit IRC
[20:11:58] <wdp> a special method to validate mails
[20:11:59] <tshine> greylisting works like this. the receiving MTA looks at a mail from a domain it hasn't received an email from. It then return a temp bounce code (that can vary) in hopes that the originating MTA will send it back
[20:12:06] <wdp> or better, to validate the sender of mails
[20:12:14] <wdp> (but thats not the correct description)
[20:12:19] <the_sniff> how can i disable that?
[20:12:25] *** jodi2 has quit IRC
[20:12:28] <tshine> the_sniff: you can't
[20:12:31] <the_sniff> hmm well
[20:12:41] <the_sniff> it seems to send less than 1 email per 10 seconds
[20:12:47] <the_sniff> which is pretty lame
[20:13:02] <wdp> the_sniff, greylisting is not enabled by default, also you'll need to implement a greylisting policy/daemon to your mailserver.
[20:13:15] <wdp> the_sniff, so if you never heard about greylisting, i don't think that you use it.
[20:13:28] <the_sniff> hmm ok so what else could be the issue?
[20:13:32] <the_sniff> cause thats really slow
[20:14:50] <tshine> the_sniff: when you run qshape what is the output?
[20:15:11] <the_sniff> all zeroz
[20:15:33] <tshine> hmm, do you tail your /var/log/maillog file?
[20:15:44] <tshine> err tail -f
[20:16:03] <tshine> Sounds like you are hitting greylisting. yahoo is one of the worst for that
[20:16:40] <the_sniff> dunno i don't even see any messages sent
[20:16:55] <the_sniff> lemme paste
[20:17:30] <the_sniff> http://rafb.net/p/CMoH8U96.html
[20:17:37] <tshine> if you have root to the box it's a good idea to do a tail -f /var/log/maillog (or whatever the path is to your MTA's log)

[22:48:07] <zention> trust me
[22:48:20] <unixcoder> sysmonk, u'r right i always forgot local when it comes to bsd :)
[22:48:25] <zention> 2.2 is the version
[22:48:28] <sysmonk> zention: you want me to connect to my 10+ freebsd boxes and check ?
[22:48:35] <zention> sysmonk: go on :)
[22:49:01] <zention> though all I am trying to do is authenticate via telnet
[22:49:17] <zention> and using perl base64
[22:49:18] <sysmonk> zention: 2.4 has it
[22:49:20] <sysmonk> 2.3 has it
[22:49:25] <sysmonk> searching for 2.2 :)
[22:49:29] <zention> to geenrate the password and username
[22:49:44] <zention> so currently I am not sure what it is checking against
[22:50:04] <zention> and to confuse matters even more I have both sasl abd sasl2 programs
[22:50:07] <zention> and
[22:50:21] *** githogori has joined #postfix
[22:50:35] <sysmonk> ugh, can't find postfix-2.x anywhere on my boxes ;/
[22:50:47] <zention> well what does -a do?
[22:50:54] <sysmonk> lists available sasl mechs
[22:51:05] <zention> fatal: usage: /usr/local/sbin/postconf [-c config_dir] [-d (defaults)] [-e (edit)] [-h (no names)] [-l (lock types)] [-m (map types)] [-n (non-defaults)] [-v] [name...]
[22:51:16] <zention> that appears to be what I have
[22:51:26] <sysmonk> yup, just found postfix-20010228 ( don't ask! )
[22:51:35] <sysmonk> ye, you've got an ooold postfix :)
[22:51:42] <sysmonk> zention: which freebsd is it ?
[22:51:47] <zention> 6.2
[22:52:03] <zention> It is the latest one in ports
[22:52:03] <unixcoder> u installed via ports or via pkg_add ?
[22:52:10] <sysmonk> uh, and why the hell did you put postfix 2.x on it ?
[22:52:15] <unixcoder> did u update the ports?
[22:52:18] <zention> yeah
[22:52:19] <sysmonk> zention: you're joking? :)
[22:52:21] <zention> no
[22:52:24] <sysmonk> :)))
[22:52:28] <zention> oh god
[22:52:38] <sysmonk> zention: latest one is 2.4 in the ports
[22:52:49] <sysmonk> 2.4.6 to be specific
[22:52:50] <zention> well I didn't use current
[22:53:03] <zention> tell you what I will go install current
[22:53:10] <zention> but I hope my config files stay
[22:53:14] <sysmonk> zention: maybe you've installed /usr/ports/mail/postfix22/ ?
[22:53:27] <sysmonk> zention: just back them up, for gods sake :)
[22:53:38] <sysmonk> cp -Rp /usr/local/etc/postfix/ /usr/local/etc/postfix.bak
[22:53:39] <zention> yeah 22
[22:53:48] <zention> I thought that is the highest number I will install that
[22:53:55] <zention> so current is the one?
[22:53:56] <sysmonk> zention: install /usr/ports/mail/postfix/ and not postfix22
[22:53:59] <zention> or just postfix
[22:54:06] <zention> ok
[22:54:13] <sysmonk> zention: also, update the ports, please
[22:54:18] <sysmonk> and use tag=. for it
[22:54:29] <sysmonk> (or use portsnap)
[22:54:41] <zention> which SASL shoudl I use?
[22:54:47] *** cilly has quit IRC
[22:54:50] <zention> 1 or 2?
[22:55:24] <sysmonk> uh, if you're talking about cyrus-sasl then 2
[22:55:32] <zention> it has everything I need in this one dovcot is there
[22:55:48] <sysmonk> you need dovecot or cyrus-sasl ?
[22:56:06] <zention> oh can only have dovecot or sasl
[22:56:11] <zention> cyrus not both
[22:56:25] <zention> But I want to use dovecot for the imap server
[22:56:26] <sysmonk> um, it's just kinda stupid to have cyrus-sasl for sasl, and dovecot for imap
[22:56:28] <sysmonk> or other way around
[22:56:43] <sysmonk> if you're using one tool - use it for everything :)
[22:56:44] <zention> so easiest one?
[22:56:52] <sysmonk> i don't know, i never used dovecot
[22:57:02] * sysmonk is a cyrus user, for sasl, imap, and other stuff
[22:57:04] <zention> ok cyrus my manual covers that
[22:58:20] <zention> I am going with 2.4 I have borked 2.3
[22:58:39] <zention> make clean did not sort the double choice
[22:58:58] <sysmonk> make config
[22:59:03] <sysmonk> or make rmconfig && make
[22:59:16] <sysmonk> or any way you know how to handle that :P
[22:59:17] <zention> ah the rmconfig I needed
[22:59:29] <zention> well 2.4 is better
[22:59:36] *** pirho has quit IRC
[23:04:11] <unixcoder> zention, try installing portupdate to manage the ports better
[23:04:43] <zention> I have got it
[23:04:44] *** fnuneedme has joined #postfix
[23:04:44] <sysmonk> unixcoder: portupgrade you meant?
[23:04:49] <zention> I chose 22 myself
[23:06:01] <unixcoder> sysmonk, yup :P i ment to say portupgrade :
[23:06:12] *** jamie77 has left #postfix
[23:06:42] <zention> postconf -a shows cyrus and dovecot
[23:06:49] <zention> I installed dovecot
[23:07:40] <zention> hmm just deinstalled dovecot and it still shows
[23:08:20] <sysmonk> zention: because it was compiled with dovecot support
[23:08:38] <unixcoder> :) just wanted to write that .
[23:08:49] <zention> no only cyrus support
[23:08:49] <sysmonk> unixcoder: lies!
[23:08:59] <unixcoder> sysmonk, all lies :)
[23:09:08] <zention> well I couldn't do both in 2.3 so I did not bother trying in 2.4
[23:09:44] *** stew has joined #postfix
[23:10:06] <stew> when i see "Nov 5 16:06:19 cory postfix/qmgr[4556]: 34306EC84B4: from=<foo at bar dot com>, size=4526, nrcpt=1 (queue active)" in my logs, foo at bar dot com is the ENVELOPE sender, right?
[23:11:32] <zention> ok back to the same place expecpt I have lost CRAMMD5 and other hashing and am left with LOGIN and PLAIN
[23:14:05] <zention> I try to AUTH via plain to user of the system (ie a user that has been added to /etc/passwd) I give the user's name name password in a MIME64 hash and it does not authorize
[23:14:08] *** brancaleone has joined #postfix
[23:14:30] *** veepster has quit IRC
[23:14:31] *** prebur has quit IRC
[23:15:30] *** prebur69 has joined #postfix
[23:15:42] <zention> any ideas what pam wants as an auth by hand?
[23:15:45] *** pirho has joined #postfix
[23:16:06] <unixcoder> zention, u can tell what vers of sasl u enable on postfix by adding this lines : smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
[23:16:06] <unixcoder> smtpd_sasl2_auth_enable = yes //
[23:16:21] <zention> ah ok
[23:16:38] <zention> well my confusion is really where is saslauthd checking for the user?
[23:16:57] <zention> it is it looking in its database or is it using pam and the system database
[23:17:06] <zention> I think it is the later
[23:17:39] <zention> because sslauthd -a pam is being run
[23:18:43] <zention> sasl
[23:19:25] <sysmonk> zention: ugh
[23:19:26] <sysmonk> it goes like this
[23:20:08] <sysmonk> postfix -> sasl(lib) -> sasl_auth_method(like saslauthd) -> saslauthd mode ( like pam ) -> pam.d conf file ( like /etc/pam.d/smtpd )
[23:20:24] *** Spec is now known as x-spec-t
[23:20:25] <sysmonk> i.e. postfix uses sasl lib, and it's conf file /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf ( for smtpd )
[23:20:38] <zention> ok I am missing smtpd.conf
[23:20:46] <sysmonk> then, you'd have pwcheck_method: saslauthd in there <- this says it should use saslauthd for auth
[23:20:55] <sysmonk> saslauthd -a pam says it should use pam for auth
[23:21:00] <unixcoder> cd /usr/local/lib/sasl2 && echo "pwcheck_method: saslauthd" > smtpd.conf
[23:21:15] <sysmonk> and pam searches for facility, in this case - /etc/pam.d/smtpd (or maybe i'm wrong :P )
[23:21:53] <sysmonk> unixcoder: sure, it's more harder to do a echo "pwcheck_method: saslauthd" > /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf ? :)
[23:22:05] <sysmonk> you definitely need to cd there ?
[23:22:09] <sysmonk> :P
[23:22:11] <unixcoder> yup :)
[23:22:52] <zention> the reason I am missing smtpd is because I don't have pam_stack.so on the system
[23:23:09] <zention> so I am not sure what to put in smtpd
[23:23:18] <sysmonk> uh, what?
[23:23:36] <sysmonk> wtf is pam_stack.so ?
[23:23:54] <zention> well this is from my book
[23:24:09] <sysmonk> what the *** book is it ? :)
[23:24:13] <zention> which does make reference to the fact that their example is for redhat systems
[23:24:24] <zention> The Book of Postfix
[23:24:32] <sysmonk> oh
[23:24:39] * sysmonk heard that it's a good book, but never read it
[23:24:55] <zention> well it is indepth but probably is aiding top my confusion
[23:24:56] <zention> to
[23:25:05] *** fnuneedme has quit IRC
[23:27:25] <zention> well what do you guys use if you don't use pam?
[23:28:01] <rob0> Brush a small amount of vegetable oil on the cooking surface.
[23:28:27] <rob0> Oh!! Different pam.
[23:29:17] <sysmonk> ;PPP
[23:29:25] <rob0> I just set up the auth in Dovecot, and use Dovecot SASL. That can be pam, or it can be a lot of other things.
[23:29:57] <sysmonk> zention: why can't you use pam again ?
[23:30:24] <zention> sysmonk: because I don't know what to put in smtpd
[23:30:37] * sysmonk beeeeeps
[23:30:42] <sysmonk> zention: didn't we tell you ?
[23:30:50] <zention> sysmonk: nope
[23:30:56] * sysmonk rolls over
[23:31:12] <sysmonk> zention: in /etc/pam.d/smtpd or in /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf ?
[23:31:14] <zention> pam.d/smtpd not stmpd.conf
[23:31:48] <sysmonk> zention: how about ... cp /etc/pam.d/login /etc/pam.d/smtpd ?
[23:31:49] <sysmonk> ;)
[23:32:18] *** stew has left #postfix
[23:32:54] <zention> is this wise I don't really want someone to login thru this?
[23:33:13] <unixcoder> login where :)
[23:33:21] <sysmonk> unixcoder: to postfix! :)
[23:33:24] <zention> to the box :)
[23:33:34] <zention> ok well I will give it a whirl
[23:33:42] <sysmonk> zention: it just uses the same authorization system for smtpd as for 'login' service
[23:33:59] <sysmonk> i.e. looks if there's a system account and etc
[23:34:05] <unixcoder> lol put /sbin/nologin when make users for mail
[23:34:19] *** x-ip has quit IRC
[23:34:25] <adaptr> rob0 do you have a link for setting up dovecot SASL ?
[23:35:14] <unixcoder> adaptr, did u try the dovecot wiki?
[23:35:24] <adaptr> still... linky ?
[23:35:33] <zention> ok still cannot authenitcate using telnet
[23:36:09] <adaptr> zention so just point a MUA at it! using telnet to do anything non-trivial will be.. well, non-trivial
[23:36:43] <unixcoder> zention, silly question on what port do u telnet :) and try to auth :)
[23:36:48] <zention> 25
[23:37:00] <zention> I get the mail server
[23:37:04] <zention> I EHLO it
[23:37:12] <sysmonk> zention: pastebin the configs?
[23:37:13] <zention> the AUTH PLAIN sdgtfjhsdjgfjwhdg
[23:37:34] <sysmonk> zention: and how do you get the sdfadfadsffasd stuff ? (base64)
[23:38:16] <sysmonk> maybe you have teh wrong asdafadfadgfsadga stuff
[23:38:20] <sysmonk> ;)
[23:38:23] <zention> perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("test\0test\0txxx000xxx")'
[23:38:53] <rob0> Dovecot SASL is almost completely documented in Postfix's SASL_README.
[23:39:11] <zention> when I use LOGIN instead of PLAIN it grunts something bask at me
[23:39:14] <zention> back
[23:41:11] <unixcoder> zention, do u have something similar to this in your main.cf for smtpd_sasl http://pastebin.com/m639d6ee1
[23:41:15] <zention> it does seem odd to have the user name twice
[23:41:16] <rob0> If using perl to generate an AUTH PLAIN string, you must escape any "@" characters.
[23:41:53] <zention> unixcoder: yeah mostly the same TLS is off for now though
[23:42:16] <zention> which is why I want to get the testing done - so I can get that back on
[23:42:44] <zention> there is no @ characters
[23:43:15] * sysmonk would offer verbosing postfix and sasl
[23:43:25] <sysmonk> and saslauthd
[23:43:58] <zention> the font they use in the book does not really help in distinguishing between \0 and \O but I am assuming it is a zero
[23:44:09] <sysmonk> zention: yes, a zero
[23:44:20] <sysmonk> and @ should be escapes ( as rob0 mentioned)
[23:44:34] <zention> there are no @s
[23:44:40] <sysmonk> any special chars?
[23:44:43] <zention> none
[23:44:52] <sysmonk> pastebined your config?
[23:45:03] <sysmonk> restarted saslauthd? restarted postfix?
[23:45:08] <zention> all restarted
[23:45:24] <zention> I will pastebin the main.cf but it has not had all the comments removed
[23:45:35] <sysmonk> zention: postconf -n
[23:45:40] <sysmonk> it only gives what we need :)
[23:45:44] <sysmonk> and also, cat master.cf
[23:45:53] <unixcoder> zention, or use sed '/^\#/d'
[23:47:05] <sysmonk> unixcoder: better postconf -n
[23:47:09] *** ikaro has quit IRC
[23:47:30] <sysmonk> unixcoder: or, if so, grep -v "^#" main.cf would do the trick too :PPPP
