[01:44:21] *** fabounio has quit IRC
[01:44:34] <sirus> yeah
[01:44:53] <sirus> there was a nice how to do that did postfix/dovcot/spamassain the works
[01:46:46] <sysmonk> !workaround
[01:46:48] <knoba> sysmonk: Error: "workaround" is not a valid command.

[01:58:44] <daemon> hey guys what do I need to bind my postfix to a specific ip on my server
[01:59:15] <daemon> well specific set of ips
[01:59:17] <daemon> ipv4/ipv6
[01:59:39] <xpoint> smtpd_bind_*
[01:59:46] <daemon> ah cheers xpoint
[02:00:06] <xpoint> or is it really smtp_bind
[02:00:22] <xpoint> dont remember :(
[02:00:35] <daemon> lol
[02:01:08] <xpoint> but if your server have multiple ip you can make it in master.cf with one ip and hostname for olso the helo name to match
[02:01:30] <daemon> yeah
[02:02:04] <xpoint> from out side it seams as 2 diff servers, but is just postfix :-)
[02:03:02] <daemon> mtp_bind-address 192.168.1.1
[02:03:04] <daemon> smtp_bind-address 192.168.1.1
[02:03:07] <daemon> apparently
[02:03:12] <sysmonk> daemon: do you want it to listen on one ip, or to connect to others servers only from one ip?
[02:03:30] <daemon> sysmonk, i just want it to listen on my primary ipv4/ipv6
[02:03:34] <sysmonk> if you want to listen on specific ip's - use inet_interfaces or master.cf
[02:03:36] <daemon> instead of across all my users ips to ;)
[02:03:41] <daemon> which is unnesary
[02:03:41] <sysmonk> if you want it to send from some ip - use smtp_bind_address
[02:03:54] <sysmonk> daemon: then use inet_interfaces
[02:04:03] <daemon> sysmonk, inet_interfaces looks like im goin to tell it an interface
[02:04:08] <daemon> such as lo0 em0
[02:04:10] <sysmonk> daemon: no
[02:04:12] <sysmonk> !inet_interfaces
[02:04:12] <knoba> sysmonk: "inet_interfaces" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: The network interface addresses that this mail system receives mail on. By default, the software claims all active interfaces on the machine. The parameter also controls delivery of mail to user at [ip dot address]. If your server does not react to connection attempts on a certain interface you should check this setting.
[02:04:50] <daemon> ah i see

[13:24:04] <sysmonk> ;)
[13:24:20] <tuxick> 50 DM !
[13:24:38] <Sypher> sysmonk, for a DNS server? :)
[13:24:41] <Sypher> 10 bucks.
[13:25:21] <tuxick> why in germany?
[13:25:29] <Sypher> my country DNS'es are blocking some websites.
[13:25:31] *** wishie has joined #postfix
[13:25:35] <tuxick> lol
[13:25:44] <tuxick> what backward country is that?
[13:25:46] <sysmonk> Sypher: ah, you're searching for a recursive dns?
[13:25:48] <Sypher> Italy.
[13:26:04] <tuxick> i wonder what kind of sites that would be
[13:26:04] <sysmonk> Sypher: just run your own. not hard to do so
[13:26:04] <wishie> im getting my logs _filled_ with "Relay access denied" errors from some shoddy looking email addresses.. is this normal ?
[13:26:14] <sysmonk> wishie: yup
[13:26:17] <Sypher> top 8 in the world ... and we're blocking sites trough DNS ... figures we've got stupid people @ govt.
[13:26:34] <wishie> sysmonk: as in, atleast 1 per second ?
[13:26:36] <tuxick> not as stupid as the people who voted for that govt
[13:26:47] <Sypher> tuxick, i didnt vote. :)
[13:26:55] <tuxick> that's also stupid!
[13:27:07] <Sypher> nope, when you can only vote for 1 thing, its not stupid.
[13:27:25] <tuxick> true
[13:27:35] <Sypher> Its like "hey, you want rice with bread, or bread with rice?" then they come to you and tell you "well, we've given you the chance to vote, isnt it?"
[13:27:43] <tuxick> ;p
[13:27:43] <sysmonk> wishie: scaning you or whatever
[13:27:51] <wishie> and, is there a way i can just block these hosts ? it seems to be * at yahoo dot com.tw and * at 163 dot com
[13:27:53] <tuxick> Sypher: beppe grillo!!
[13:28:16] <Sypher> tuxick, he says right things, but his motives are yet to be found.
[13:28:21] <tuxick> i loved his vaffanculo campaign
[13:28:28] <wishie> sysmonk: its been going on for _hours_
[13:28:35] <Sypher> tuxick, where are you from ?
[13:28:42] <tuxick> wishie: firewall :)
[13:28:44] <tuxick> Sypher: .nl
[13:28:51] <tuxick> but i speak italian as well
[13:28:59] <sysmonk> wishie: pastebin your log ( i.e. 50 lines of it )
[13:29:28] <tuxick> wishie: consider greylisting too
[13:29:30] <Sypher> tuxick, i see ...
[13:29:43] <sysmonk> darn, /me needs to go afk
[13:30:12] <wishie> http://www.wishie.net/postfix.log
[13:30:37] <tuxick> just firewall the fucker
[13:30:42] <tuxick> make sure to drop the packets
[13:30:47] <tuxick> instead of reject
[13:31:03] <tuxick> bleh, that won't even matter
[13:31:18] <tuxick> might save some b/w
[13:31:42] <wishie> well, its just my logs (which i use to monitor some other things) are just filled with this crap
[13:31:53] <tuxick> this again shows why USA tops my logs
[13:32:28] <wishie> so how can i tell postfix to just drop those connections ?
[13:32:39] <tuxick> ISPs should not allow their doze customres to connect to outside :25
[13:32:58] <tuxick> wishie: i'd say simply firewall
[13:33:05] <tuxick> or greylist, anvil
[13:33:17] <shasta> greylist? heh
[13:33:34] <wishie> ill have to read up on it.. im not too familiar with postfix etc
[13:33:47] <wishie> and the 'firewalling' here, is done by my crappy DSL router
[13:33:59] <shasta> greylist kicks in only when the email *would* be delivered
[13:34:13] <shasta> wishie, just ignore them. it's someone looking for openrelays
[13:34:19] <shasta> and you can't firewall entire world
[13:34:28] <tuxick> http://www.postfix.org/rate.html
[13:34:30] <wishie> yeah, but its been going on for hours and hours now
[13:34:58] <shasta> wishie, so what? :)
[13:35:22] <tuxick> spammers are the criminals nodoby goes after
[13:35:30] <wishie> i suppose the problem is, its logging into /var/log/messages .. ill have to change that
[13:35:39] <tuxick> wishie: rate limiting :)
[13:35:46] <shasta> !smtpd_soft_error_limit
[13:35:48] <knoba> shasta: "smtpd_soft_error_limit" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: The number of errors a remote SMTP client is allowed to make without delivering mail before the Postfix SMTP server slows down all its responses.
[13:35:50] <shasta> !smtpd_error_sleep_time
[13:35:52] <knoba> shasta: "smtpd_error_sleep_time" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: Postfix 2.1: the SMTP server response delay when a client makes more than $smtpd_soft_error_limit and fewer than $smtpd_hard_error_limit errors without delivering mail. Postfix 2.0 and earlier: the SMTP server delay before sending a reject (4xx or 5xx) response, when the client has made fewer than $smtpd_soft_error_limit errors without (1 more message)
[13:35:56] <shasta> wishie, ^^^
[13:36:24] <jduggan> wishie: access map in recipient restrictions can drop * at yahoo dot com.tw... but its no difference, postfix is already rejecting it.. might be best to use iptables and block them @ tcp level
[13:36:26] <tuxick> or that :)
[13:36:59] <shasta> like I said, you can't block entire world
[13:37:09] <shasta> and it *is* going to repeat from other IPs
[13:37:13] <jduggan> nope, but if its all coming from a group of IPS

[15:40:14] <SniZ> dovecot can do quotas?
[15:40:21] <tuxick> yes
[15:40:37] <tuxick> and i agree, just use dovecot deliver

[16:47:41] <w00p]wakeup> since todays morning i am trying to get postfix running on my little hobby-server
[16:48:06] <w00p]wakeup> but i think i am not really getting it
[16:48:51] <SniZ> hobby-server? for hobbits O_O?
[16:49:02] <w00p]wakeup> :D
[16:49:16] <w00p]wakeup> no its a laptop i am currently not using as a desktop
[16:49:57] <w00p]wakeup> so it is running a web-server
[16:50:42] <w00p]wakeup> lot of stuff already works fine, but the next thing to have would be an email server to send and recieve emails
[16:50:51] <shasta> !basic
[16:50:53] <knoba> shasta: "basic" : http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html : a good starting place for Postfix beginners, many common questions are answered here.
[16:51:37] <icewaterman> tuxick: that doesnt explain what i want to do.
[16:53:13] <w00p]wakeup> i read this
[16:53:43] <w00p]wakeup> (the basic thing) but all i got it to do is sending mail on the local machine
[16:53:54] <w00p]wakeup> like user bla can mail to user blubb
[16:54:33] <w00p]wakeup> in my understanding i would need some port to recieve mail from the internet
[16:55:00] <w00p]wakeup> i it the same as the smtp-port or something different?

[18:36:26] <rob0> "Snakeoil"
[18:37:14] <rob0> Did you do your openssl patch and get the new "snakeoil" cert?
[18:39:22] <shasta> Mandatory TLS encryption: announce STARTTLS support to SMTP clients, and require that clients use TLS encryption.  According to  RFC 2487 this MUST NOT be applied in case of a publicly-referenced SMTP server. Instead, this option should be used only on dedicated servers.
[18:39:27] <shasta> ^^^^
[18:39:32] <rob0> This must be outbound only, or with an upstream MX, right?
[18:45:07] <shasta> yep, you can't expect that all the MTAs in the world have TLS support

[18:57:24] <Kurushiyama> Nevertheless: I found a solution. my problem actually was that I have a XEN cluster and wanted to use some sort of lightweight smtp on them except for my mailhost. ssmtp is the solution, since it can use tls and is authenticated automatically since the servers are all in mynetwork

[20:56:03] <disaster2> i have this error when i send mail from hotmail to my mail account
[20:56:05] <disaster2> http://pastebin.com/d2715319
[20:57:10] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  If I'm not mistaken, those should usually be created when you install postfix.
[20:58:51] <stef22decembre> Verilium > Thanks... no, they aren't !
[20:59:12] <stef22decembre> I have installed postix on my server multiples times
[20:59:17] <stef22decembre> with ubuntu
[20:59:36] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  Time to reinstall then, perhaps.  My qmgr is located at /usr/libexec/postfix/qmgr, for example.
[20:59:36] <stef22decembre> and this is the first time he say me that !
[21:00:33] <stef22decembre> when I look at the content of the package postfix
[21:00:46] <stef22decembre> I have postdrop...
[21:00:48] <Verilium> Hmm, with ubuntu, I can't really say.  I'm installing from source usually.
[21:00:48] <rob0> Stef, somebody changed your master.cf, and there is no point in asking us to guess what happened.
[21:01:16] <stef22decembre> hum
[21:01:36] <stef22decembre> but the master.cf is a file I have never touch !
[21:01:50] <stef22decembre> can I repair this ?
[21:02:21] <rob0> If it doesn't work "out of the box", file a bug with your distro.
[21:02:32] <stef22decembre> in reponse to Verilium, the packs "postfix" doesn't contain qmgr for example !
[21:02:50] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  Then you need to see if there's accompanying postfix packages.
[21:03:22] <stef22decembre> Verilium > it says that there is no dependances...
[21:05:07] <stef22decembre> packages.ubuntu.com says that /usr/bin/qmgr is provided by packs postfix
[21:05:18] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  I have no idea how ubuntu are doing their postfix packages, but, as some other software, maybe there's postfix, postfix-server, or something along those lines.  *shrug*
[21:05:25] <rob0> disaster2, you're apparently the MX for freeheberge.fr. If you want to accept that mail you have to set it up, such as in mydestination.
[21:05:32] <rob0> !tell disaster2 basic
[21:05:58] <rob0> /usr/bin/qmgr ?? How strange.
[21:06:14] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  Try to upgrade, or reinstall the package then?  Do a dpkg -L postfix, and see if qmgr appears in there?
[21:06:51] <stef22decembre> the file /var/spool/postfix/public/qmgr doesn't exist instead
[21:07:07] <stef22decembre> of course I tried to renstall
[21:07:25] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  I'm looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/postfix/filelist.  qmgr isn't in /usr/bin. :)
[21:07:39] <rob0> The correct location for the qmgr(8) binary is as Verilium said.
[21:08:17] <rob0> /var/spool/postfix/public/qmgr would be the socket, if qmgr was running of course
[21:08:20] <stef22decembre> Hum... sorry, I look at the wrong line !
[21:08:22] <Verilium> Looks like Ubuntu's postfix packages put qmgr in /usr/lib/postfix/qmgr.
[21:08:44] <stef22decembre> it's the socket the problem !
[21:09:03] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  Does the exist at this locattion?  /usr/lib/postfix/qmgr
[21:09:12] <stef22decembre> postqueue: warning: unable to look up public/qmgr: No such file or directory
[21:09:15] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  If it does, then it's a config problem, and not the fact the file isn't there.
[21:09:54] <stef22decembre> ok
[21:09:57] <stef22decembre> I look
[21:10:30] <rob0> Millions of Ubunti apt-get install postfix, and it works. Why doesn't yours?
[21:10:39] <stef22decembre> locate qmgr said : /usr/lib/postfix/qmgr
[21:10:43] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  You might want to look at what the 'daemon_directory' config is set at in your main.cf.
[21:11:02] <Verilium> Yeah, I'd think ubuntu/debian messing up their postfix package, it'd be heard about much more. ;)
[21:11:07] <stef22decembre> rob0 > I am sorry
[21:11:11] <rob0> delete the entire config before you reinstall again
[21:11:19] <stef22decembre> I ask myself the self question !
[21:12:13] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  If I'm not mistaken, where postfix tries to find qmgr is defined by what 'daemon_directory' is set to.
[21:12:43] <stef22decembre> there is no 'daemon_directory' in main.cf

[21:17:07] <Verilium> Nope, better not, else you won't have as much help.
[21:17:49] <Verilium> stef22decembre:  Maybe try an 'apt-get remove postfix', and then also, an dpkg -P postfix (I believe that would be it?), and then install it again..
[21:19:25] <stef22decembre> ok
[21:19:38] <stef22decembre> apt-get remove --purge postfix
[21:20:12] <Verilium> Oh neat, you can do that.
[21:20:33] <stef22decembre> I can and I do !
[21:20:35] <rob0> Does that remove /etc/postfix and /var/spool/postfix ?
[21:20:55] <Verilium> I'm hoping it will, but I'm not sure.
[21:21:07] <rob0> if not, rm(1) can do it :)
[21:21:17] <Verilium> Can't say I have an ubuntu box I can try it out on.
[21:21:36] <stef22decembre> I think it does
[21:21:41] <stef22decembre> If not

[23:00:09] <_apk> and I also restarted it afeter
[23:00:14] <Zborg> ok
[23:00:42] <_apk> I've also changed owner and group of the files
[23:01:15] <Zborg> do you have something in syslog ?
[23:01:27] <_apk> I'm going to check
[23:02:18] <_apk> ouch syslog is a very big file ehehe
[23:02:51] <Zborg> yes, but hopefully it should be something near the end if there is anything :)
[23:02:55] <_apk> yes, but the last lines is the log of the mail that I have sent to test postfix log file
[23:03:03] <_apk> s/is/are
[23:03:05] <Zborg> hm
[23:03:10] <Zborg> try to restart syslog
[23:03:31] <Zborg> it's probably got disturbed when you deleted the files
[23:03:36] <_apk> but have I to touch those file, or have I to let postfix create them?
[23:03:41] <_apk> (like apache does)
[23:03:51] <Zborg> no idea
[23:03:54] <shasta> postfix logs to syslog only
[23:03:59] <shasta> not directly to files
[23:04:01] <Zborg> you want to wipe them regularly ?
[23:04:13] *** fabounio has joined #postfix
[23:04:28] <_apk> no Zborg...I had to try postfix submission
[23:04:30] <Zborg> yes, syslog then redirects according to /etc/syslog.conf iirc
[23:04:42] <_apk> and insted of using tail -f...I deleted them :/
[23:04:58] <Zborg> so it's just a wrong manip :)
[23:05:22] <Zborg> if not I would have suggested logrotate to manage your log files
[23:05:39] <_apk> thank you guys
[23:05:41] <Zborg> _apk: so, did restarting syslog fix the problem ?
[23:05:57] <_apk> I removed the files that I created, restarted syslog-ng and then postfix
[23:06:12] <_apk> and now it's ok :)))
[23:06:30] <Zborg> great :)
[23:07:01] <_apk> I fought 3 damn days to understand how to tell postfix to not send outgoing mails throw spamassassin
[23:07:13] <_apk> the answer was in submission :P
[23:08:05] <WeRReD> hey there. Could someone please tell me why I get this error when trying to send a mail?  Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
[23:08:27] <WeRReD> the funny part is that yesterday everything worked just fine
[23:08:30] <shasta> !unknown_local
[23:08:32] <knoba> shasta: "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).
[23:08:47] <shasta> WeRReD, ^^^^
[23:09:10] <WeRReD> shasta: thanks a lot, I'll check
