[03:47:59] <sahil> hm.  ok, can you also pastebin a few lines of the authenticated-related error(s) you get in maillog?
[03:48:11] <sahil> and btw, those smtpd_recipient_restrictions look a bit bare!
[03:51:32] <corporeal> heh
[03:52:14] <sahil> and just to be sure, you did follow the SASL_README carefully, right?  from the one line you did paste earlier, it would seem you just did not setup the actual authentication.
[03:53:31] <corporeal> carefully? no. but it should work considering other configs i've seen but i dont know

[07:19:40] <lkthomas> how could I config it ?
[07:23:14] <mudd`Hossam> i might know why i just did this
[07:23:54] <mudd`Hossam> check your mydestination = in main.cf
[07:24:10] <lkthomas> me ?
[07:24:14] <mudd`Hossam> if thats messed up, then postfix assumes you are using system mail
[07:24:29] <mudd`Hossam> lkthomas: yes
[07:24:35] <lkthomas> how do you define "mess up" ?
[07:25:31] <mudd`Hossam> lkthomas: mine reads 'mydestination = sub.domain.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain'
[07:25:44] <lkthomas> May 19 13:22:11 mail postfix/local[4620]: 1C3E116FD9: to=<2 at citylife dot com>, relay=local, delay=0.03, delays=0.01/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "2")
[07:25:48] <lkthomas> still using local
[07:26:20] <mudd`Hossam> lkthomas: ah i see, this is not the same problem then
[07:26:31] <lkthomas> it should use postfix/virtual instead of local
[07:26:36] <mudd`Hossam> lkthomas: i don't believe i can help you =[

[10:09:05] <Fantec> (as far as I know but I may be wrong, I do not have the envelop sender in header_checks)
[10:15:20] <cite> header_checks do only see one header at a time. You can't refer to the contents of the preivous/next header in a check.
[10:16:12] <cite> And no, you don't habe access to the envelope sender either, because cleanup or trivial-rewrite might have rewritten it

[12:52:31] <Matic`Makovec> Hi there. This might not be exactly a postfix question but I'm sure it's somehow related to. I'm woundering whether there's a way of adding an extra line (or at least some text) in the email header with SMTP?

[12:57:35] <cite> Matic`Makovec: Using header_checks or a policy daemon, you can easily trigger an action like PREPEND X-My-Text: Yarr!
[12:58:30] <cite> Matic`Makovec: You can also call formail -i from example procmail or define it as a transport in master.cf (and then use FILTER in an access map)
[12:58:33] <Matic`Makovec> Heh, thank you :)
[12:58:47] <cite> Matic`Makovec: Or you can write your own milter application.
[12:59:15] <cite> But I'd say something along the lines of /^Subject:.*/ PREPEND X-my-text: yarr! will be the easiest way to achieve that.
[12:59:32] <cite> (that is, given every message you receive has a subject*g*)
[12:59:48] <Matic`Makovec> :)
[13:00:16] <Fantec> a non postfix question : is there anyplace (irc/web) where there are advice about how should behave a SMTP serveur ? (ie sender verify, bounces, etc.)
[13:00:43] <whymarkwh> if my exchange server is: rcc.mail(added in host.conf as  192.168.31.1  rcc.mail) then i added this line in postfix(relayhost=rcc.mail) will this foward all mail to my exchange server(rcc.mail)?
[13:02:33] <cite> whymarkwh: Your setup is described in: http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#firewall

[13:03:21] <cite> Anways, the who README should be helpful to you.
[13:05:33] <whymarkwh> is postfix a mailserver or client?
[13:06:10] <cite> Like every other MTA on earth, it has an smtpd server process, but can also deliver mails to other servers, acting as a client.
[13:06:29] <cpm> it's a mail transport agent.
[13:07:29] <whymarkwh> i've tried the setting as i found them on google. i can send mail using postfix to the internet but cant seem to link it to my internal exchange server.
[13:07:56] <whymarkwh> did the hostname and relay host thing just can seem to get it to work
[13:08:40] *** mmp has joined #postfix
[13:09:00] <mmp> Hello, is it possible to store contents of .forward file in LDAP directory instead of .forward itself?
[13:09:09] <mmp> (running postfix, of course:)
[13:09:27] <whymarkwh> does all the config changes can make with sendmail rely on the master.cf file?
[13:09:57] <whymarkwh> does all the config changes one can make with postfix rely on the master.cf file?
[13:10:04] <cite> whymarkwh: It's not that hard, really. You need the domain for which Postfix should accept mail in relay_domains, an you need a transport_maps entry like yourcompany.com smtp:[rcc.mail]
[13:10:21] <cite> whymarkwh: No. Please read http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html

[13:13:36] <cbsmith> cite: Can't you optionally just use relayhost instead of transport_maps?
[13:13:56] <cite> mmp: I'm not aware of a possibilty to do this. You can, however, rewrite recipient addresses using virtual_alias_maps from LDAP...
[13:14:09] <cite> cbsmith: And if he want's to send a message out to the internet...?
[13:14:30] <mmp> cite: situation is that I have vserver running postfix and I don't want to have home dirs mounted there..
[13:14:44] <cbsmith> cite: I thought relayhosts only effected mail addressed to a domain in "relay_domains". Am I messed in the head?
[13:15:17] <cite> cbsmith: I think you are confusing relay_domains and relayhost...
[13:15:45] <cite> mmp: Postfix offers various possibilities when it comes ot virtual hosting. Just look it up in the documentation.
[13:15:53] <cbsmith> cite: I think you are probably right. ;-)

[13:19:03] <cbsmith> cite: Looks like I should have used relay_transport to do what I wanted.
[13:23:10] <mmp> and one more question -- does mailbox size limiting work also for maildirs ?
[13:24:20] <Samonoske> when i run  :set_auth_mech : unknown authentication mechanism: pam
[13:24:21] <Samonoske> is that bad?
[13:25:44] <mmp> documentation says that virtual_mailbox_limit limits maildir file size -- is it meant as everything unter user's maildir, or is it just size of one message?

[14:50:46] <Dominian> hrm
[14:51:02] <Dominian> Ok.. what I'm wanting to is probably going to require some help from you guys in here as.. well I've never done it Hehe
[14:51:16] <mwalling> you dumping mailscanner?
[14:51:27] <mwalling> </troll>
[14:52:05] <Dominian> nope
[14:52:41] <Dominian> I have a friend that I do backup mx for.
[14:52:46] <Dominian> Receipient verification all that jazz.
[14:53:01] <Dominian> However, he had a small issue with a power supply this weekend and now his email server is caput for now
[14:53:28] <Dominian> So.. I want to create a second "queue" just for his domain/email addresses that everything for him will go into
[14:53:51] <Dominian> that way he gets no loss of email as its more than likely going to be mroe than 5 days before he gets it back up and running.
[14:54:24] <Dominian> So.. i want postfix to attempt to send first.. if it can't.. shove his email into his "hold" queue for the time being..when everyting comes up.. I'll flush the queue manually then remove it
[14:54:41] <cite> Dominian: http://www.postfix.org/ETRN_README.html
[14:54:43] <Dominian> and also.. I get his email out of the "main" queue
[14:54:46] <Dominian> cite: ahh yes.
[14:54:53] <Dominian> cite: thank you.. I totally freakin' forgot about ETRN
[14:54:59] <cite> ;)
[14:55:22] <Dominian> er.. wait
[14:55:29] <Dominian> wait yeah.. nevermind
[14:55:47] <cite> This way, _he_ can schedule the queing process when his server is up again.
[14:55:53] <cite> (and he's done configuring and stuff)
[14:55:56] <Dominian> true
[14:55:57] <Dominian> but..
[14:56:00] <Dominian> I'm not worried about that
[14:56:04] <cite> but?
[14:56:09] <Dominian> Just want to get the hold queue built so he doesn't lose email..
[14:56:18] <cite> that's how ETRN works
[14:56:21] <Dominian> most of these emails will go bye bye after 5 days if he hasn't accepted it by then.
[14:56:25] <Dominian> oh
[14:56:29] <Dominian> hmmm
[14:56:37] * Dominian feels another tutorial writing coming on
[14:56:40] <Dominian> :)
[14:56:41] <cite> set queue_lifetime a bit higher.
[14:56:48] <cite> do postsuper -r ALL to refresh the mails
[14:56:56] <Dominian> cite: right
[14:57:08] <Dominian> but that will become cumbersome wants he has a few hundred waiting ;)

[14:58:15] <Dominian> so its a bit .. scary ;0
[14:58:21] <cite> it's like, erm, four lines
[14:58:30] <Dominian> its still scary!

[15:06:23] <johndo> it rejects the first attempt with a "server busy" message to see if the the sender will try again

[15:06:45] <johndo> if the sender does try again "
[15:07:15] <johndo> (within the right time period), the recieving server will add the sender to an internal whitelist for some amount of time

[15:10:02] <johndo> you can't recieve messages at that domain?
[15:10:50] <empiric> i ca not send msg to that domain also i can not recieve any email from that domain
[15:10:54] <empiric> whats the solution
[15:11:31] <johndo> If you can not send messages to that domain, and are getting the greylisted message, it should eventually get through
[15:11:43] <johndo> assuming your smtp server is rfc compliant
[15:12:17] <johndo> as for recieving, check the logs on your local smtp server to see of their server is even making a connection attempt
[15:12:19] <empiric> get through but when user are complaing they can not recive emails from that domain since last 4 days

[16:20:04] <cite> powerdns-recursor, running soothly at 70% CPU load at about 6500 qps.
[16:20:08] <cite> smoothly*
[16:20:20] <seekwill> Is it on the same box as the MTA?
[16:20:29] <seekwill> And 70% of what? :)
[16:20:53] <cite> Old P4 Xeon, dedicated box, local server is using nscd, thinking about swiching to an lwres style stup.
[16:20:54] <rob0> you might want to have your nameserver on a separate box.
[16:21:06] <cite> Do I really look that stupid? ;)
[16:21:21] * cpm isn't sure how to answer that one.
[16:22:00] <rob0> um, gigabit is almost as good as loopback
[16:22:20] <rob0> and you would spread out your load
[16:22:23] <cite> Well, tbh, there _was_ a time when I was just running bind locally.
[16:22:32] 
[16:22:48] <seekwill> lol.. powerdns's site "conforms to all relevant DNS standards documents"... relevant...

[16:24:18] <crumblenaut> what package does the 'newaliases' command come with?
[16:24:23] <crumblenaut> doesn't seem to be included with postfix itself
[16:24:45] <seekwill> sendmail?
[16:24:48] *** k4z has joined #postfix
[16:25:15] <crumblenaut> so i have to install sendmail to get the newaliases command on a system that uses postfix?
[16:25:16] <crumblenaut> genius
[16:25:23] <seekwill> cite: Did your company evaluate BIND? Just wondering how that compared to PowerDNS
[16:25:33] <cite> rob0: The mail servers themselves are not having any real trouble. THere isn't much of that spam going through. I'm just limited in terms of memory, that's why I enforce that 400 process limit.
[16:26:11] <cite> seekwill: Erm, well, that's tricky. We have some strict procedures set up on which operating systems (read: linux dsitributions) we use.
[16:26:22] <mwalling> slackware?
[16:26:25] <seekwill> crumblenaut: From what I understand (though I could be totally wrong), /etc/aliases is a "sendmail" thing. I don't even use aliases in my postfix setup...
[16:26:30] * mwalling ducks
[16:26:49] <seekwill> cite: Oh, powerdns comes with your distro?
[16:26:50] <cite> seekwill: And, well, most of the time, just compiling stuff from sources isn't an option. So yes, we did evaluate, and it bind9 locked up every single time when we hit 4k qps.
[16:26:58] *** af_ has joined #postfix
[16:27:18] <seekwill> What about bind8? We evauluated both bind's and 8 performed better than 9
[16:27:37] <seekwill> Though I don't know what kind of qps we've seen from bind in general
[16:27:45] <seekwill> (I never looked..)
[16:28:20]

[16:31:57] <f3ew> crumblenaut Postfix provides newaliases

[16:44:34] <Trengo> and recursive too
[16:44:46] <Trengo> sysmonk indeed, but im interested in SQL :)
[16:45:47] <f3ew> Trengo we are moving from DLZ to PDNS

[16:46:25] <Trengo> are you unhappy with DLZ?
[16:46:34] <f3ew> not fast enough
[16:46:45] <f3ew> pdns == dlz + in-memory cache

[19:10:42] *** phnord has quit IRC
[19:11:00] <rob0> Since Apple mail has the same problem, I'd guess you have a lower-level problem: networking, or maybe even a proxy in the way. Is this on port 25?
[19:11:52] *** knoba has quit IRC
[19:12:06] <SethX> yes, on 25. and no proxies in between
[19:12:12] <SethX> firewall is set properly
[19:12:29] <SethX> and no port blocks/limitations from the isp
[19:12:52] <SethX> funny thing, is that if i disactivate authorisation, i can send mail to my domain, no problem
[19:13:00] <rob0> The only command that was sent was EHLO.
[19:13:05] <SethX> as soon as i activate auth again, it dies
[19:14:07] <SethX> this is what ehlo replies : http://pastebin.com/d7c80dcc5
[19:14:23] <SethX> i notice that "auth" is not a string supplied by ehlo
[19:14:34] <SethX> is that ok, or could that be causing the problem?
[19:14:40] <rob0> probably because you told it to require TLS
[19:15:00] <rob0> Funny thing, but Postfix does what you tell it to do :)
[19:15:06] <Dominian> hehe

[19:17:34] *** pirho has joined #postfix
[19:17:49] *** fabounio has quit IRC
[19:18:21] <SethX> rob0: so, disactivate tls ?
[19:18:47] <SethX> i mean, it does accept "auth" as a string
[19:19:16] <rob0> Um, TLS with AUTH is a fabulous idea. But you have to get both working.
[19:20:08] <SethX> so, basically, i should disactivate tls..
[19:20:24] <SethX> is there any backdraw on that?
[19:22:03] <rob0> Sure. You make your auth credentials vulnerable to sniffing. It might never matter, but you never know. Personally I keep AUTH (and IMAP) over encrypted or secure channels only, but that's up to you if you don't mind the risk.
[19:24:43] * cpm never sniffs rob0
[19:24:53] * rob0 screams
[19:25:12] <SethX> so, basically, if starttls is being sent
[19:25:18] <SethX> it means that something is wrong with auth
[19:25:20] <SethX> right?
[19:25:29] <jduggan> is there anyway to use access maps to restrict sasl user->mail from address via a mysql map? or is this something i need to pass to a policy daemon

[19:49:42] *** brancaleone has quit IRC
[19:49:53] <quieteyes> RDNS should ALWAYS point to the hostname
[19:50:03] <mwalling> !fcrdns
[19:50:04] <knoba> mwalling: "fcrdns" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_Confirmed_reverse_DNS : very important if you want big sites to accept your mail. If you can't have it from your ISP, see !relayhost .
[19:50:28] <victori_> so mail.fabulously40.com?
[19:50:54] <quieteyes> yes - another way to think about it - what does your MX for your TLD say, ie. what is the hostname in the MX that accepts mail?
[19:51:30] <victori_> mail.fabulously40.com
[19:51:57] <victori_> mail.localdomain  which is incorrect
[19:52:17] <quieteyes> mail.localdomain should only appear in the zone file for localdomain :)
[19:53:08] <victori_> ?
[19:53:42] <victori_> hmm this brings me to my next question, I can't possibly have an ip address that reverses to various hostnames can I?
[19:53:44] <quieteyes> don't worry about it - just pull the mail.localdomain from the records for fabulously40.com
[19:54:01] <quieteyes> sure you can, just don't expect a consistent response from the DNS server :P
[19:54:08] *** c00l2sv has joined #postfix
[19:54:53] <quieteyes> just like forwards, you can have as many reverse addresses as you like  but the DNS server returning that response will have a tendency to give what it "thinks" is the right one
[19:55:11] <quieteyes> easier to just bind a single IP to a name
[19:55:18] <quieteyes> there are ways around that however
[19:55:27] <victori_> ya except they only give out oh so many ip addresses at a colo
[19:55:53] <quieteyes> what you do is for a different domain - say nifty50.com - is you say that the mail exchanger is mail.fabulous40.com - even though it's not in the same domain
[19:55:56] *** amrit is now known as amrit|wrk
[19:56:05] <victori_> ah
[19:56:28] <quieteyes> then you set up the mail exchanger to accept mail for your primary domain, and you set up the other as a virutal domain, etc.
[19:56:33] <victori_> quieteyes: so how do I go about reconfiguring postfix to respond with the correct hostname? don't see localname anywhere in main.cf
[19:57:17] <victori_> myhostname?
[19:57:25] <quieteyes> victori_, you will want the mail exchange to ALWAYS respond with the exact hostname that you have assigned in DNS, it doesn't matter how many domains it answers for, it only matters that the forward and reverse records match correctly
[19:58:03] <quieteyes> !standard
[19:58:03] <knoba> quieteyes: "standard" : Your question is probably answered in http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html
[19:58:11] <quieteyes> !quieteyes
[19:58:12] <knoba> quieteyes: "quieteyes" : a seemingly nice guy, until his veins pop out and he hits !standard
[19:58:20] <quieteyes> lol
[20:01:02] <quieteyes> hope that helps

[20:17:59] <seekwill> nightwatch: Umm... how can one IP resolve to all those domains?
[20:18:20] <seekwill> nightwatch: You need an IP address for each domain
[20:18:41] <Dominian> er
[20:18:45] <Dominian> no they don't seekwill ..
[20:18:59] <Dominian> My server handles multiple domains.. lots of them in fact.. One IP
[20:19:05] <seekwill> How do you get a reverse IP?
[20:19:09] <Dominian> the doamins just specify me as the MX
[20:19:16] <Dominian> seekwill: well it maps to only ONE Ip address
[20:19:22] <Dominian> so yeah in that case.. seekwill is right
[20:19:26] <seekwill> ...
[20:19:27] <Dominian> rDNS you can only have one IP
[20:19:35] <Dominian> Forward DNS is a different story
[20:19:40] <jduggan> i think i'm not understanding smtpd_sender_login_maps correctly - does anyone have any experience with it? ive actually created a blank map at the moment so i dont want to force any user to a specific email address
[20:19:55] <seekwill> Dominian: We had this discussion before :)
[20:20:01] <Dominian> I think we did
[20:20:10] <devdas> jduggan: you query using the sender address, it returns a list of valid names
[20:20:14] <Dominian> but its been long enough ago that I don't remember
[20:20:16] <jduggan> do need to add .* username to allow any?

[20:20:54] <Dominian> hehe
[20:21:31] <jduggan> devdas: it queries the MAIL FROM: address to the right sasl user?.. i guess what im tryin to achieve is query the user to the address (i.e., if the user isnt has an address against his name thats the only address he can send from)
[20:21:33] <devdas> jduggan: @domain <all valid logins>
[20:21:34] <seekwill> Dominian: You must be hosting very nice people to be on the good side of yahoo
[20:22:04] <devdas> jduggan, use the address to find the login name
[20:22:20] <devdas> It's exactly the opposite of what you said you want to do
[20:22:34] <Dominian> seekwill: lol
[20:22:45] <jduggan> devdas: but it means every mail from must have a user
[20:24:09] <devdas> jduggan, only if they authenticate

[20:25:09] <devdas> hmmm
[20:25:24] <devdas> I am not sure what it does if the address is not listed at all
[20:25:29] <jduggan> it rejects
[20:25:49] <devdas> ah
[20:25:56] <jduggan> i tested with a blank map
[20:26:12] <jduggan> which in my mind implies no restrictions for this user.. ofcourse it doesnt work like this =]
[20:26:19] <Dominian> seekwill: I don't think I send too many emails to yahoo.. I get a shit load from them..
[20:26:38] <jduggan> if i add my user with my mailfrom then it all works fine
[20:26:58] <devdas> what happens if you return 'not found'
[20:27:13] <devdas> In all cases the result of table lookup must be either "not found" or a list of SASL login names separated by comma and/or whitespace.
[20:27:40] <seekwill> Dominian: Lucky you :(
[20:27:43] <jduggan> does that imply the actual string 'not found'
[20:27:47] <Dominian> seekwill: yah

[21:48:58] <ananke> however, we just noticed something. i think it breaks when we send from hosts _not_ defined in mynetworks
[21:49:04] <rob0> yes
[21:49:20] <Dominian> right
[21:49:21] <rob0> sounds like broken virtual_mailbox_maps

[21:52:14] <ananke> i guess i don't understand how it works, to understand that error. it seems it should give me no relay, instead of the misleading 'user unknown'
[21:52:23] <rob0> But from mynetworks it is accepted (permit_mynetworks) and aliased in virtual_alias_maps, so it works

[21:55:08] <cyr-> habnabit_: yeah thanks, but we are not allowed to downgrade this one.

[21:55:51] *** Severed_Head_Of_ has joined #postfix
[21:55:58] <ananke> rob0 : i guess we were under the impression that @vbi.vt.edu is a domain that this postfix instance is responsible for, and should accept e-mails; therefore, permit_mynetworks wouldn't matter
[21:57:22] <habnabit_> cyr-: 10.5.2 Server?
[21:57:46] <rob0> Postfix agrees that vbi.vt.edu is in virtual_mailbox_domains. Then it looks up the username at vbi dot vt.edu in virtual_mailbox_maps. That returns nothing, therefore the username is considered invalid.
[21:58:35] <rob0> When sending from within mynetworks, permit_mynetworks causes acceptance. And virtual_alias_maps redirects it somewhere deliverable, so it works.
[21:59:16] <ananke> rob0 : ohh, so it goes via two different paths
[22:00:05] *** dim has quit IRC

[22:08:36] <Kassah> got a question... I want to setup a store and forward postfix configuration... but the catch is... it's going to sit on the IP it's later going to deliver to?

[22:22:03] <ananke> k, another strange question: what should the virtual_mailbox_maps entry be for this example user? there is no mailbox, and i'm either going to send it off to another host, or hand it off to another program, via the aliases [or transport map, as i already have]
[22:23:01] <rob0> "user@domain  anything" (I think zimbra uses virtual aliases to redirect everything.)
[22:23:26] <rob0> user@domain is the lookup key, doesn't matter what the result is

[22:52:51] <sky> rob0: ive been looking at reject_unknown_client_hostname but its still warning me about all the connections
[22:53:21] <Dominian> er
[22:53:28] <Dominian> should that be reject_unknown_sender_hostname..?
[22:53:33] <Dominian> you talking about people sending through you?
[22:53:58] <sky> spammers are attempting to connect and i get a warning 'hostname verification failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known'
[22:54:10] <sky> many per second...
[22:54:45] <Dominian> reject_unknown_sender_hostname I think is what you want...
[22:54:50] <Dominian> not sure about client.. I could be wrong
[22:56:08] <cite> sky: You will get those messages and there is absolutely nothing you can do about that.
[22:56:45] <sky> thats pretty much a bummer
[22:59:22] <sky> cite: isnt that a problem?
[22:59:40] <sky> every user of postfix is forced to long multiple attempts per second of this?

[22:59:56] *** tshine has joined #postfix
[23:00:13] *** ramoni has quit IRC
[23:01:21] <HSorgYves> the error message "User unknown in local recipient table" does refer to alias_maps (or can it be virtual_alias_maps as well)?
[23:01:46] <rob0> !unknown_local
[23:01:47] <knoba> rob0: "unknown_local" : User unknown in local recipient table means that the recipient domain was found in $mydestination but the username was not found in local_recipient_maps (by default: users in /etc/passwd and aliases(5) in /etc/aliases).
[23:01:48] <cite> sky: Erm. To be honest, I never thought much about that.
[23:02:09] <sky> I was just trying to cut down on my disk thrashing, and that one sticks out pretty well
[23:02:16] <cite> sky: It's just a normal thing, a client connects and Postfix isn't able to verify that host name.
[23:02:17] <rob0> Maybe sky is using a broken resolver?
[23:02:18] <HSorgYves> rob0: great thx
[23:02:29] <cite> sky: Check your DNS caches if you see it for literally _every_ client
[23:02:36] <sky> its not every client, no
[23:02:41] <sky> its just spam attempts
[23:02:50] <sky> its a working system
[23:03:01] <rob0> A lot of spam sources do have working rDNS
[23:03:15] <sky> 'warning: 92.112.187.46: hostname 46-187-112-92.pool.ukrtel.net verification failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known'
[23:04:04] <cite> A-RR query throws an NXDOMAIN here.
[23:05:12] <cite> Oh funny. I got this IP in my logs, too ;)
[23:05:59] <rob0> not surprising actually, it looks like a zombie (generic rDNS, "pool")
[23:08:18] <rob0> afk
[23:09:42] *** ricosecada has joined #postfix
[23:10:09] <ricosecada> When using the sendmail command from the console, is there a way to specify the subject?
[23:10:31] <seekwill> Type it in the header?
[23:11:25] *** VaNNi has quit IRC
[23:13:07] <ricosecada> seekwill, how exactly? I am using it like this: $ sendmail -F Rico rico at mymail dot com < sometxtfile
[23:13:19] <seekwill> Put it in your sometxtfile
[23:13:38] <ricosecada> I am using it to send myself a copy of snort alert
[23:13:45] <seekwill> ok
[23:13:54] <ricosecada> It can't be specified on the command?
[23:14:17] *** VaNNi has joined #postfix
[23:14:21] <seekwill> ricosecada: man sendmail ?
[23:14:54] *** jellis-real has quit IRC
[23:14:58] <ricosecada> I haven't found anything about subject.. I was wondering if I am missing something.
[23:15:11] <seekwill> Type it in the header
[23:15:28] <seekwill> Per the manpage, you're supposed to be sending sendmail a properly formatted message body
[23:15:44] <seekwill> Or... message (body + header)
[23:15:46] <HSorgYves> ok, i think i am getting closer... is alias_maps considered or alias_database when receiving local mail?
[23:16:20] *** j_s has quit IRC
[23:17:15] <seekwill> ricosecada: Fine, I'll give you a hint: echo "Subject: This is a subject\r\n\r\n" >> message_body; cat sometxtfile >> message_body; echo "\r\n.\r\n" >> message_body
[23:21:04] <seekwill> You don't like my beautiful script?
[23:21:10] <sysmonk> *caugh* *
