[02:10:43] <kreg_lt> meaning you still need to leave 25 open for other smtp servers?

[02:12:35] <rob0> TLS is the next version of SSL, the heir so to speak.
[02:13:52] *** keanne has quit IRC
[02:14:19] *** pitakill has joined #postfix
[02:16:48] <kreg_lt> TLS isn't anykind of "upgrade". it just lets you say "hey i wanna do SSL next"
[02:17:00] *** Motoko-chan has joined #postfix
[02:17:11] <kreg_lt> but if you instruct customers to just setup SSL and the incoming/outgoing settings, what is the point?

[02:22:24] <kreg_lt> smtps is depreciated?? that's what tls kicks on if you use tls to go ssl.

[02:45:42] <diveli> hi, i want to relay mail on server 192.168.187.32 to 192.168.187.31. On the former, I've set relay host to be 192.168.187.31. On 192.168.187.31, do I need to specify that 192.168.187.32 is allowed to relay its mail to it? and do I do that with the 'mynetworks' setting, and/or the 'relay_domains' setting
[02:45:56] <diveli> thanks
[02:46:52] <kreg_lt> that'd be one way
[02:47:12] <kreg_lt> how did you set relay host to be 192.168.187.31 on .32?
[02:47:51] <diveli> i set 'relayhost = 192.168.187.31' in the main.cf
[02:48:16] <diveli> then i started getting relay access denied messages in the log file and new I had forgotten something :)
[02:48:23] <diveli> knew* - gah
[02:50:04] <diveli> so do i just need to authorise 192.168.187.32 to relay its mail to 192.168.187.31, on 192.168.187.31? and is that with 'relay_domains' setting?
[02:52:32] *** FrozenDawn has joined #postfix
[02:54:33] <kreg_lt> i'd say mynetworks would do it
[02:54:48] <diveli> ahh right, cheers
[02:55:34] <kreg_lt> need to convince the .31 that the mail being sent to it, has arrived to ti's final destination. if the server is say relay denied, the server things the mail has not reached the end of it journey

[03:04:57] <FrozenDawn> hi there. Where I work, we are considering moving from qmail to postfix. I'd like to know if there is anything analogous to the .qmail file on postfix (that is, a user config file that allows you to pipe your e-mails and stuff like that)
[03:05:04] *** Tachy has joined #postfix
[03:16:06] <context> kreg_lt: and technically yes. TLS is 'ssl 3.0' id imagine its a at least just A TINY BIT better then SSL2.0
[03:16:57] <context> not to mention smtps was just an ugly hack in the first place ...

[03:24:10] *** Signum has joined #postfix
[03:24:32] *** knoba has joined #postfix
[03:34:20] <rob0> FrozenDawn: .qmail was taken from Sendmail's .forward files, and Postfix supports those as well. They become very powerful used in combination with recipient_delimiter.
[03:38:11] <rob0> Coming from qmail you might want to use "recipient_delimiter = -" (hard coded in qmail.)
[03:39:09] <rob0> Then, ~user/.forward-foo will handle user-foo at your dot domain mail.
[03:44:29] <context> rob0: you know if there is a way to use recipient delimiter and have it create a directory in my maildir for each addition type to my addr
[03:44:45] <context> so context+postfix at domain dot com would go into a postfix dir

[03:59:26] <ColdLight> rob0: thanks. I will see if I can find something to read about .forward files
[03:59:49] <ColdLight> rob0: (I was frozendawn)
[03:59:54] <rob0> it's "man local"
[04:00:09] <rob0> or online, local.8.html
[04:08:35] *** FrozenDawn has quit IRC

[05:06:45] <ColdLight> context: why do you say that ? I am reading the man for "aliases", and it seems .forward can do pretty much everything I'd want
[05:07:11] <ColdLight> (a.k.a. send my mail through pipes)
[05:07:53] <ColdLight> (and rob0, thanks again. I was suprised to find out the man was actually readable)
[05:08:48] <context> coldlight: yeah i needed to read further, but im prolly gonna use mailbox_command to do what i want
[05:15:39] <context> hmm i think im gonna have to use maildrop or dropmail

[07:04:22] <lowks> i have set up two instances of postfix one as mta and the other mda
[07:04:43] <lowks> the problem is my mda has a mailq containing other domain's mails
[07:04:57] <lowks> which is the part of the config i should be checking ?
[07:08:05] <f3ew> lowks, errr?
[07:10:31] <lowks> f3ew: $mynetworks ?
[07:10:47] <f3ew> lowks, I don't know what your config looks like
[07:10:56] <f3ew> Where is the mail coming from? See your logs
[07:11:45] <lowks> well i got queues from domains like poseidon.cs.um.edu.mt
[07:11:51] <lowks> which shouldn't be there at all
[07:11:56] <lowks> this is just a mda
[07:12:04] <lowks> for my domain only
[07:13:26] <f3ew> from, or to?
[07:13:32] <f3ew> And what do your logs say?
[07:13:57] <lowks> (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to kaplancollege.com[72.166.181.37]: Connection timed out)
[07:14:05] <lowks> i have two email servers
[07:14:09] <lowks> email1 and email2
[07:14:12] <lowks> email2 is the smtp
[07:14:22] <f3ew> are there bounces?
[07:14:27] <f3ew> these*
[07:14:30] <lowks> email1 runs the other services -> pop, imap
[07:14:45] <lowks> f3ew: yah and they are like taking up the queue
[07:14:56] <lowks> correct me if i am wrong but isn't this supposed to appear only in email2 ?
[07:15:01] <lowks> where smtp is running ?
[07:15:24] <lowks> if there is an email for my domain it's supposed to be forwarded from email2 to email1
[07:16:59] <f3ew> Errr, are these bounces?
[07:17:36] <lowks> yes
[07:17:57] <f3ew> why are you bouncing stuff?
[07:19:21] <lowks> i dunno
[07:19:51] <lowks> well if i am not an open relay isn't it i am supposed to be bouncing stuff ?
[07:21:51] <f3ew> lowks, don't accept mail for unknown recipients
[07:22:01] <f3ew> reject, don't bounce

[09:22:22] <CyberCr33p> can I do something about that?
[09:23:34] <sep> you can add a spf record. you can send abuse messages to the server he uses to send with, other then that you just have to wait it out.
[09:24:48] <CyberCr33p> ok thanks
[09:25:43] <CyberCr33p> he uses X-Mailer: The Bat! (v3.71.04) Professional
[09:25:45] <CyberCr33p> to send the spam
[09:26:27] <bon> i wouldn't bet on that :)
[09:27:21] <CyberCr33p> that is what it says at the headers of email
[09:28:12] <Signum> Doesn't mean much.
[09:28:21] <CyberCr33p> but I think it's not possible to find the ip that he uses to send the spam
[09:28:53] <Signum> ...unless you have an original of the spam mail
[09:29:18] <CyberCr33p> I don't
[09:30:05] <CyberCr33p> I will try to add spf record
[09:30:07] <CyberCr33p> for that domain
[09:33:33] <sep> CyberCr33p, is the orginal headers not in the bounce ? look at the recived lines
[09:34:15] <CyberCr33p> wait 1 sec

[09:36:53] <CyberCr33p> the fake e-mail address is: nygcoderzcek at coderz dot gr
[09:37:59] <sep> anyone have any ideas of the best shared storage solution ? for my maildirs. i have them on nfs now. are there significant performance gains by moving them to forinstance iscsi ?
[09:42:47] *** ^Willie^Laptop has joined #postfix
[09:42:48] <f3ew> sep, dunno
[09:43:13] <f3ew> Outblaze used NFS, iscsi has the limitation of allowing only one host to access the filesystem
[09:43:52] <sep> seriously ? that would make iscsi plainly unusable
[09:44:31] *** harobed has joined #postfix
[09:44:33] <sep> my problem is that i have a mailserver with nfs maildirs that have a constant load of >15 atm
[09:44:44] <sep> so i need to scale up a bit
[09:47:36] <f3ew> Oh, add another NFS disk set
[09:47:45] <f3ew> scale horizontally
[09:47:59] <f3ew> s/scale up/scale out/
[09:48:05] <f3ew> Is NFS tuned
[09:48:08] <f3ew> ?
[09:49:47] <sep> im tuning daily
[09:49:58] <sep> not so sure if i dare to run async
[09:52:02] <sep> but it's not easy to know where it performes the best

[09:55:16] *** Lap_64 has joined #postfix
[09:56:51] <sep> f3ew, do you use any automatic method to spread load out over the nfs disksets ?
[09:57:06] <f3ew> sep, round robin distribution of users
[09:57:07] *** cutmasta has joined #postfix
[09:57:24] <sep> when you add them ?
[09:57:27] <f3ew> then move users around
[09:57:28] <f3ew> yes
[09:57:35] <f3ew> and username based hashing
[09:57:39] <sep> i have mine grouped into domains,
[09:57:44] <f3ew> u/us/user@domain/
[09:58:01] <f3ew> across a few dozen NFS mounts
[09:58:44] <sep> that would spread load nicely yeah
[09:59:02] <sep> i have /domain.com/user
[10:00:51] *** war has joined #postfix

[11:02:45] <fifo_> Wtf? Is that perhaps amavisd? How can I temporarily disable it, so e-mail is at least working?
[11:04:13] <smesjz> is amavis running at all? disabling anti-virus/anti-spam is a workaround that i wouldn't use
[11:04:40] <fifo_> smesjz: amavis is broken beyond repair. down to the bones of perl
[11:05:00] <fifo_> The mail is a standstill. I need to get it going for the mean while
[11:05:17] <fifo_> What could that error mean?

[11:07:01] <smesjz> well, doesnt matter if you know how to read main.cf
[11:07:26] <smesjz> dont blame Postfix for a broken down delivery agent/transport :)
[11:07:49] <fifo_> No. I'm not blaming postfix. postfix is good boy

[11:19:18] <fifo_> Why can't they just leave it alone. I said I'll fix it
[11:19:38] <smesjz> well, disabling amavis isnt a fix
[11:19:45] <fifo_> btw, amavis doesn't run because a "BASIC CPAN LIBRARY Compress:Zlib NOT FOUND"
[11:20:03] <fifo_> I know, if their e-mail is running, they will stop wining, and I can fix perl.

[11:30:35] <bart_> i need to disable bad header qurantine
[11:30:55] <smesjz> fifo_: that's the reference to Amavis..get rid of it and postfix reload && postqueue -f
[11:30:59] <bart_> or add some domains to whitelist that bad quaratine doesnt check mails from this domains
[11:31:03] <smesjz> let's see if that's gonna make a difference
[11:31:49] <fifo_> smesjz: thats the old one
[11:31:54] <fifo_> in the running one that line is deleted
[11:32:03] <fifo_> smesjz: but I found the error: ravencore
[11:32:24] <smesjz> care to explain?
[11:32:27] <fifo_> Every time i restarted postfix, ravencore regenerated the freaking configuration files. crappy software
[11:32:39] <fifo_> Thats why that line was in there again
[11:33:12] <fifo_> I have to change the configuration in a highly specialised way in /usr/local/ravencore/etc/postfix/main.cf/content_filter.local
[11:38:03] <smesjz> right
[11:41:40] <fifo_> Oh well, thanks for all your help
[11:41:55] <fifo_> Now just to slap the sysadmin for installing 2minute setups
[11:42:29] <fifo_> I don't get the point with these packages. Cpanel and Plesk are ok, they are commercial and done properly, but these open source ones. ouch.

[13:45:20] *** the1d has joined #postfix
[13:47:35] <the1d> hi, I have a problem with delivering lots of uniqe mails til a server - they complain that I only deliver one mail pr. connection - how can I raise that value? I'm not able to use default_destination_recipient_limit for anything as the mails only has 1 recipient
[13:51:17] <cpm> let'em complain.
[13:57:19] <the1d> no can do..
[13:57:38] *** asmas has quit IRC
[13:58:34] <the1d> I can't find any information on how many mails a given smtp process tries to deliver to a foregin server
[13:59:05] *** ramoni has joined #postfix
[13:59:16] <cpm> that's an interesting complaint. lots of us do our best to block streamlining email.
[14:00:01] <cpm> as that's typically how spammers send mail
[14:00:14] <cpm> never heard anyone complaining about that before.
[14:00:30] <cpm> are you sending them a huge amount of mail or something?
[14:01:04] <the1d> yes.. 43k mails in a matter of ~9 hours
[14:01:36] <the1d> it's a survey-system. Each mail is unique to the reciever, as it contains a code for the questionnaire
[14:04:14] <the1d> they complained that we saturated their mailserver for 9 hours while we delivered the mails - and one of their arguments was that we only send 1 mail pr. connection, and that we had 100 connections open during the whole period..
[14:05:04] <the1d> and I'm just running Postfix 2.2 with fairly default settings and have never had problem before - with even larger amounts of mail..
[14:05:37] <cpm> you are not having a problem now. They are having a problem
[14:05:41] <cpm> do you do this often?
[14:06:01] <the1d> well.. they are a paying customer, so.. :/
[14:06:58] <the1d> do it often? it's almost alt that the mailserver does - during the last 6 months it's send out ~2mill mails
[14:07:38] <cpm> and this particular postmaster is the only whiner you've encountered?
[14:07:45] <the1d> yes..
[14:07:54] <the1d> alas
[14:08:19] <the1d> I'm all for shouting "STFU" at him, but I'm not sure management would be so happy..
[14:08:42] <the1d> I've set up a new transport for the customers domain (and subdomains)
[14:10:07] <the1d> but I'm not sure it's the correct solution - some of the things they complain about (eg. DO send more mails pr. connection) I can't find an answer to
[14:10:31] <the1d> I've set
[14:10:32] <the1d> ku-smtp_destination_concurrency_limit=5
[14:10:32] <the1d> ku-smtp_connection_cache_reuse_limit=25
[14:10:32] <the1d> ku-smtp_connection_cache_time_limit=4s
[14:10:44] *** lambda has joined #postfix
[14:10:51] <the1d> and the ku-smtp transport has a maxproc limit of 5
[14:11:33] <the1d> I belive that should limit the maximum number of possible connections via that transport to 25 - or am I wrong?
[14:12:05] <the1d> and each connectin is reused up to 25 times to deliver an unknown number of mails
[14:12:09] <the1d> connection even

[14:29:40] <cpm> the1d, you might take this one to the mailing list.
[14:30:16] <the1d> cpm: could you point me to the right one where I sign up? :)
[14:31:16] <the1d> right now I'm writing a subliminal STFU answer to their postmaster and waining them that I've crippeled the rate of delivery to them
[14:32:09] <cpm> the1d, errr, , , ah, , sure. http://www.postfix.org/lists.html
[14:32:37] <cpm> btw, www.postfix.org is generally the first place to look for anything relative to postfix. fyi
[14:33:33] <the1d> ah - only a -users.. somehow (don't ask me why) I had imagined 8 or 9 different "possible" candidates for the correct ML to use..
[14:33:54] <the1d> (I might be a bit brainwashed by different FreeBSD and NetBSD lists) ;D
