[00:22:48] <webPragmatist> hey when it says "Comment out the local delivery agent entry" in master.cf
[00:22:59] <webPragmatist> what exactly does it mean to coment out?
[00:24:55] *** Haris has quit IRC
[00:25:48] <adaptr> prepend a # character ?
[00:26:02] * webPragmatist rolls eyes
[00:26:09] <adaptr> there are plenty of examples right there in the file
[00:26:22] <adaptr> did you even open it ?
[00:26:47] <webPragmatist> no not really... i just ask questions for fun
[00:27:10] <shasta> sigh

[00:27:47] <shasta> i don't know about yours, but my master.cf contains only ONE "local"-whatever reference (besides /usr/local, which are obvious PATHS)
[00:27:50] <adaptr> please, save us all some time
[00:27:58] <shasta> so this is kinda self explaining
[00:28:05] <webPragmatist> that's what's confusing
[00:28:15] <webPragmatist> there's already a bunch of entries
[00:28:30] <shasta> webPragmatist, post your master.cf on pastebin

[00:30:13] <shasta> so
[00:30:28] <shasta> how many things named "local" are there?
[00:30:37] <shasta> maybe I'm old and blind, but I only see ONE
[00:30:52] <webPragmatist> .............. ok end smart ass comments please.

[00:32:02] <webPragmatist> basically each of these is what though is what i was scared about commenting out
[00:32:15] <webPragmatist> what does flush mean?
[00:32:30] <webPragmatist> and what does local have to do with flush
[00:32:34] <webPragmatist> so why is it in the same list?

[00:33:51] <webPragmatist> i've read that and it doesn't seem to explain the master.cf in much detail

[02:24:03] <activenet> hi guys. I am following the guide at: http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/ and after I test sending emails from telnet smtp i check the mail.log and i see this quirky error: May 28 10:20:14 server dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(john at example dot com): User query failed: Table 'mailserver.mailbox' doesn't exist any ideas?
[02:24:26] <mwalling> well, does the table exist?
[02:24:53] <activenet> i am follow the guide and it did not ask me to create a table with that name so where is it coming from?
[02:25:27] <mwalling> i smell bs
[02:25:27] <mwalling> http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/#step-3-create-the-database-tables
[02:25:50] <mwalling> if you're going to follow a guide with out knowing what you're doing, ffs follow the guide.
[02:26:59] <activenet> yes there are three tables. virtual_domains virtual_users and virtual_aliases none called mailbox
[02:29:56] <shasta> this is a question for #dovecot, obviously
[02:30:03] <activenet> ok thx
[02:30:13] <mwalling> shasta: but he doesnt know why
[02:30:26] <mwalling> so he's just going to bark up a barkless tree in there too
[02:30:55] <activenet> i know its a conf file somwhere
[02:31:20] <mwalling> Buy the man a drink!
[02:31:25] <unclecameron> be nice
[02:31:34] <mwalling> ignore me
[02:32:52] <mwalling> he obviously missed a step in Signum's tutorial, and the error message tells where.
[02:34:26] <unclecameron> one way or another you have to create the table it's hunting for
[02:34:58] <mwalling> he's got a deer license, but he's hunting rabbit
[02:36:36] <seekwill> Who needs a permit these days...
[02:37:51] <activenet> found it
[02:38:20] <mwalling> activenet: see, deep down inside, arent you glad i was an asshole and didnt tell you the answer?
[02:38:25] <seekwill> Got that wasscally wabbit?
[02:38:48] <activenet> my dovecot-sql,conf file is skewed has a vile user_query line which i need to fix for this guide
[02:39:10] * mwalling pats activenet on the back
[02:39:45] <activenet> can i tell it to recreate the dovecot-sql.file and then edit it properly?
[02:40:10] <rob0> sh be vewy vewy quiet
[02:40:18] *** shadfc has joined #postfix
[02:40:23] <sahil> rob0: hahaha.
[02:41:13] <shadfc> i just did an upgrade on a debian system and i cant seem to get mail to deliver anymore.  using mysql and virtual domains/alias/mailbox maps.  Anyone care to help me debug this?
[02:41:51] <unclecameron> if you're using clamav there was a debian upgrade to that package which horked the whole system
[02:42:20] <mwalling> activenet: the -sql file is pretty simple, you can recreate it from Signum's tutorial
[02:42:24] <unclecameron> tail you log...best way to find the culprit
[02:42:29] <mwalling> !logs
[02:42:30] <mwalling> !debug
[02:42:32] <knoba> mwalling: "logs" : by default, postfix logs to the mail facility of syslog. Something like grep -i `postconf -h syslog_facility` /etc/syslog.conf or grep -rl `postconf -h syslog_name` /var/log/* should tell you where logs are going.

[02:56:46] <activenet> thx
[02:59:11] *** bpgoldsb has quit IRC
[03:03:21] <activenet> ffs now i am getting - server dovecot: user john at example dot com: Logins with UID 5000 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file).

[03:04:10] * shasta stares at this channel's name
[03:04:27] <activenet> ok ok sorry
[03:04:56] <shasta> besides, this error message is *so* self-explanatory
[03:05:46] *** loompek has quit IRC
[03:06:03] <activenet> yeah well not when you go back over the guide and you have done what it says: postconf -e virtual_uid_maps=static:5000
[03:06:05] <activenet> etc
[03:08:47] <shasta> well, I agree that error message is meaningless for an illiterate

[04:33:06] <jonez> greetings.
[04:33:36] <jonez> I am following http://www.postfix.org/SOHO_README.html#client_sasl and wondering if there is a postfix 2.2.x equiv. of  smtp_sasl_type
[04:33:57] <jonez> when I run 'postconf smtp_sasl_type' I get 'warning: unknown parameter' ... any clues appreciated.
[04:34:20] <rob0> Nope.
[04:34:48] <jonez> ok, so the solution is to .... upgrade to 2.3? :)
[04:35:09] <rob0> If upgrading, why not go to the latest stable? 2.3 is ancient.
[04:35:22] <jonez> I typically use whatever is shipped with the linux distro I install
[04:35:39] <jonez> I suppose by now opensuse 11.0 is out, so whatever ships with that is what I will use
[04:35:46] <rob0> 2.3 would do it, yes
[04:35:58] <jonez> how was sasl_auth done in 2.2?
[04:36:09] <rob0> Cyrus SASL only.
[04:36:19] <jonez> ah
[04:36:37] <rob0> oh, but for that matter ... client AUTH is still Cyrus only
[04:36:37] <jonez> since that is what I am using on the machine in question ("eros"), no worries then :)
[04:37:02] <rob0> so you could just check your local copy of SASL_README
[04:37:16] <rob0> and maybe not need to upgrade
[04:37:43] <rob0> There was no SOHO_README back then.

[04:44:46] *** kk_CHN has joined #postfix
[04:49:27] *** githogori has joined #postfix
[04:49:45] <jonez> ok.. I went ahead and set smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous and smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes and finally smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd (complete with a run of 'postmap' after installing). according to SASL_README in my distro, this is all that needs to be done
[04:50:06] <jonez> however, I consistently get a message in syslog about not being able to use sasl to authenticate, and the message stays in the local queue.
[04:50:17] <jonez> have I missed something obvious? :)
[04:52:10] <jonez> hmm.. perhaps it is my smtpd.conf (part of the cyrus-sasl) package that has been misconfigured.
[04:52:12] * jonez checks
[04:55:57] <rob0> no, smtpd.conf is for smtpd(8) not smtp(8)
[04:56:47] <rob0> I never used client AUTH in Postfix. I got a static IP.
[05:00:49] <jonez> well, I have a home office behind a cable modem, and a colod machine with a static ip that I want to use for relay of outbound email.
[05:01:01] <jonez> inbound is working great, it's outbound that is br0ked :)

[06:08:39] <bmunat> how does one control the amount of logging for postfix?
[06:09:03] <bmunat> the only config param i've found is debug_peer_log and it does not seem to have any effect
[06:09:58] <hparker> the smtpd line in master.cf needs some v's
[06:10:56] <bmunat> hparker: that controls the logging?
[06:11:16] <hparker> that will turn up the verbosity, I forget the max number of v's though
[06:12:30] <bmunat> oh, mine is way too verbose... hundreds of logging line per email
[06:12:41] <hparker> then check for that
[06:12:46] <bmunat> k, thanks

[06:22:16] <brasilino> it makes always postfix accepts mail!
[06:23:47] <seekwill> brasilino: Well, you need to apply other systems in conjunction with DK/DKIM. You can't assume that if a message is signed, it's a good piece of mail
[06:25:45] 
[06:26:20] <seekwill> No, you don't want to reject if the user does not sign mail
[06:26:25] <seekwill> Not everyone signs their mail yet.
[06:26:40] 
[06:26:51] <seekwill> Ask your teacher then :P
[06:27:10] <seekwill> It really is a bad example anyways.
[06:27:12] 
[06:27:28] <seekwill> That's the wrong idea... I'd highly suggest changing your topic
[06:27:44] <seekwill> What you want to do is reject if the signature fails.
[06:27:52] <seekwill> Or if it fails, quarantine it

[10:35:19] <wlx> hi
[10:36:26] <wlx> postfix with sasl2 are installed  in my ubuntu server, everythink work great except smtp auth.
[10:36:59] <wlx> everybody can send mail with my server now
[10:37:37] <wlx> the smtp auth does not working now
[10:37:55] <wlx> the server is upgrade from ubuntu 6.04, now is ubuntu 8.04
[10:38:22] <wlx> so can somebody help me or give me a hint?
[10:39:07] <dragonheart> swap for log/config info only
[10:40:08] <wlx> dragonheart,  are you talking to me?
[10:40:15] <dragonheart> yes
[10:40:56] <wlx> what's meaning of swap for log/config?

[10:54:36] <wlx> it should be work now.

[10:58:04] <ekimus_> hmmm "fatal: main.cf configuration error: mailbox_size_limit is smaller than message_size_limit" there are no local users on this system. why is postfix still complaining?
[11:02:30] <wlx> ok, and the auth.log here: http://210.77.68.215/auth.log

[11:03:59] *** kk_CHN has joined #postfix
[11:07:40] <wlx> yes, I can,  by remove the comment in the file: /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
[11:08:13] <wlx> but it seems this does not change anything.
[11:08:42] *** af_ has joined #postfix
[11:09:04] <ekimus_> wlx: i think i remember ubuntu has some strange location for smtpd.conf, at least that fixed it for me when i was trying to get a 6.06 running....
[11:09:27] <dragonheart> wlx: well postfix is trying sasl so the error is probably in the config there.
[11:09:34] <dragonheart> in sasl
[11:10:24] <wlx> if I add mysql information in smthd.conf file, the error in auth.log disappeared, but the relay is opened yet
[11:14:34] <wlx> so the new log here: http://210.77.68.215/mail.log
[11:14:42] <wlx> http://210.77.68.215/auth.log
[11:16:44] <wlx> ekimus_,  yes, the smtpd.conf is locate in /etc/postfix/sasl/ directory.

[14:37:20] <byspeed> Well, i did not think that it is this important because it is only a warning, not a fatal... in php warnings are uncritical :)
[14:37:55] <byspeed> i only removed the kaltmacher.de from mydestination... the error is still the same, but without the warnung
[14:38:00] <byspeed> *warning
[14:40:44] <lunaphyte_> whether something is critical or not and whether or not you should fix it are not the same thing.  if you only fix errors/warnings/whatever that you perceive as critical, then you are asking for trouble.
[14:41:14] <byspeed> okay
[14:41:20] <lunaphyte_> so show postconf -n then, and show the current logs.

[14:58:35] <Dominian> I guess I'm still not following what it is you want to accomplish.
[15:02:35] <ecomp> the exchange-admin will stop the delivery from postfix to exchange, but will hold all incoming mails in the queue (for example by a exchange reboot ...)
[15:04:50] <Haris1> ecomp: You mean postfix is a secondary mx for the same domain for which MS Exchange is primary ?
[15:05:27] <Haris1> ecomp: postfix is a backup mail server? ..and Exchange is the primary mail server?
[15:07:09] <ecomp> postfix is the primary mx for 5 domains, check spam and virus and relays only the "clean" mails to the exchange
[15:08:33] <ecomp> the problem is, that the exchange admin has no experience about linux/postfix/amavis... so a simple shell-command would be perfect ;-)

[17:04:54] <swarog> till now, i already have over 1000 mails in queue undelivered to gmail only. the thing is neither one mail (small or big) is passing trough to gmail
[17:05:33] <swarog> strange thing is, when i try to send email to gmail mx server manualy by telneting to port 25, from the same server im getting timeouts on, mail is successfully delivered
[17:05:39] <swarog> what could be the catch?
[17:06:14] <Dominian> dunno..

[21:09:28] <stickystyle> sorry, thought i was in another channel :-/
[21:09:30] <cite> There is nothing else you should do.
[21:09:50] <petoj> cite, why not fail2ban?
[21:10:31] *** denis has quit IRC
[21:10:35] <kithpom> petoj: what is IDS?
[21:10:42] <cite> I consider fail2ban to be harmful because it gets data from one domain (the "logging domain") and enforces rules on a different domain ("host packet filtering domain").
[21:10:56] <cite> Even undergradutae students are taught that this is "a bad thing[tm]".
[21:11:38] <petoj> kithpom, Intrusion Detection System
[21:12:14] <cite> petoj: And as a further remark: If you run, say, Postfix on your mailserver, you do that because you have evaluated it and you trust it. This means you trust a codebase of, say, 80k lines.
[21:12:41] *** sepski has quit IRC
[21:12:46] <cite> Now, if you add fail2ban to this, you suddenly have to trust (a) your operating systems packet filter, (b) the fail2ban code and (c) your own ability to write correct rules.
[21:13:24] <cite> Why on earth should any sane being suddenly trust a codepage twice as large just to get rid of some log messages instead of simply doing the appropriate thing, which is, obviously, force users to choose "good" passwords.
[21:13:30] <cite> s/codepage/code base/
[21:13:41] <petoj> cite, yes, but when I trust, it improvec my security...

[21:13:55] <petoj> *improves i meant..
[21:14:27] <kithpom> petoj: any particular approach to an IDS?
[21:14:35] *** spiekey has quit IRC
[21:14:35] <cite> No, it doesn't improve anything. Security measures have to be "defense in depth", but with simply adding a security measure which relies on host integrity (the host Postfix is actually running too), you don't get defense in depth.
[21:15:00] <cite> Defense in depth would be adding an IDS on a different host.
[21:15:15] <cite> Not runnign fail2ban on the host that runs Postfix.
[21:15:25] <petoj> kithpom, no
[21:15:38] <kithpom> ok, thx
[21:16:45] <petoj> cite, yes, it can be; you told me over :D
[21:17:58] *** petoj has quit IRC
[21:19:54] <kithpom> ok if this is a login issue is it something that I should or could resolve with dovecot or ip rules?

[23:09:09] <will> does anyone know if there is a way to pass the "propagate_unmatched_extensions" parameter to an smtpd process in master.cf.  For some reason this option is not in the man page for smtpd so it doesnt look like you can just do -o option as usual....maybe this option has to be global :( ?
