[01:18:59] <ullio> hello. is there a way to combine more then 1 header check to see if like 2 conditions match? like if /Return Path: <>/ and /Message-ID: klj / ?

[01:21:02] <ullio> oh. i see. just read a post from mr. wietse
[01:21:09] <ullio> its impossible
[01:28:33] <rob0> right, but if it's really important, you could have the first header divert to a FILTER action. Doesn't scale well.

[05:29:45] <Evill> Anyone familiar with dk-filter/dk-milter?
[05:34:14] <Evill> Having problems with verification.
[05:34:30] <Evill> It's adding the "X-DomainKeys: ..." header line, but not "Authentication-Results:"
[05:34:44] <Evill> It occurred to me that that may mean it's actually in signing mode, but choosing not to sign that domain.
[05:34:54] <Evill> But there are no verbose options to give me any clues.

[10:15:55] <onik> i am using dovecot .. i am trying host domain on centos 4.6 using postfix 2.5.2 with plain text authentication . It says SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure.. Postfix Verbose log says xsasl_cyrus_server_first: sasl_method LOGIN xsasl_cyrus_server_auth_response: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure
[10:16:00] <onik> can anyone help?
[10:21:01] *** Zyna has joined #postfix
[10:24:53] <dragonheart> are you using pop/imap on the same authentication method?
[10:25:10] <dragonheart> if so does that password work
[10:27:28] <onik> i am not sure
[10:28:05] <dragonheart> check the dovecot log too
[10:28:05] <onik> when I do postconf -a it gives me dovecot cyrus both
[10:28:28] <dragonheart> ah  - so set it to use dovecot
[10:28:56] <xpoint> postconf -n
[10:29:05] *** Draecos has joined #postfix
[10:29:50] <xpoint> postconf -a only gives what is supported, but its not default selected
[10:29:53] <onik> when I enable smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot , postfix hangs
[10:30:18] <xpoint> super :)
[10:30:42] <xpoint> is ssl tls working ?
[10:30:43] <onik> ??
[10:31:00] <onik> no. I am not using it
[10:31:57] <xpoint> you have to, and cyrus sasl need to have crypt support
[10:32:41] <dragonheart> somethign like smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth    the chroot location that dovecot puts its auth socket
[10:32:53] <xpoint> if it hangs some packages is brokken and or needs updating or recompile depending on your distros
[10:33:22] <onik> smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd
[10:33:39] <dragonheart> is dovecot creating an auth socket ? if so where
[10:33:45] <dragonheart> what are the postfix errors now?
[10:34:32] <onik> how do I check dovecot  auth socket?

[14:24:29] <rob0> Yup, one clearly positive contribution to email. There were possibly others, but his ego and mistakes tended to blur those.
[14:25:13] <cpm> cool. Now I can think good thoughts.
[14:25:17] <cpm> must not think bad thoughts
[14:25:21] <rob0> I think it's at least partly true that qmail's design inspired Postfix.
[14:26:11] <Trengo> cpm :) tradspool ftw
[14:26:17] <cpm> Trengo, yup
[14:26:19] <Trengo> everything else scares me
[14:27:12] <rob0> The chief difference being that Wietse stuck with it until he got it right, and DJB got bored (or whatever) and declared his flawed project "perfect".
[14:27:23] <cpm> it's all pretty scary, tradspool works really well. many years ago, I used it for my mailman archives using mailnews gateway, it's really clean and nice. i tried, -oh so hard- to use nntp in-house instead of email, , , what a waste of time

[15:12:44] <recw> f3ew: i also think that the problem emerges when it tries to work with dovecot

[15:14:45] <Aw0L> is it better to have a catch-all mailbox for non-existent recipients, or just let them get rejected?
[15:15:18] *** linderox has quit IRC
[15:16:13] <rob0> Catchalls are a seriously bad idea. Definitely, reject bad recipients.
[15:18:48] <recw> rob0: ok  -yep it's better to reject bad recipients, where to change parametres

[15:28:30] *** idle-boy` has joined #postfix
[15:29:13] <Aw0L> rob0, well that makes it easier - but why exactly is it a bad idea to have a catchall?
[15:31:00] <recw> Aw0L: maybe cause it's no reason to catch mail that has incorrect recipient..
[15:31:08] <rob0> After your first dictionary attack from a spammer, one reason will become abundantly clear.
[15:32:13] <rob0> If a human is reviewing the catchall, it works for misspelled localparts. But if it's discarded, a misspelled localpart is lost.
[15:32:50] <Aw0L> it'll make people type correctly I suppose
[15:33:43] <Aw0L> I'm a little lost on the dictionary attack thing - wouldn't spammers not know which addresses are real and which are fake?
[15:33:52] <Aw0L> fake = non-existent
[15:33:52] <rob0> If I type "awol at your dot domain" and the real address is "aw0l at your dot domain", I would know right away that I messed up.
[15:35:44] <rob0> Spammers care little for accuracy. When using stolen resources, it costs nothing more to do a dictionary attack on the localpart.
[15:36:41] *** recw has quit IRC
[15:37:03] <Aw0L> I think I need picture

[15:37:58] *** xnixan has joined #postfix
[15:42:23] <rob0> Dictionary attacks happen most commonly on big, universally known domains. I bet every major ISP and freemail provider sees them every day. My own personal domain was hit once a few years back, and the catchall was inundated in spam. Now I just reject the unknown recipients, so I don't even know if I'm getting dictionary attacks unless I look in logs.
[15:43:49] <rob0> The last one I took note of, a few months ago, was when my domain was used as sender addresses, so I got (and rejected) a wave of backscatter to bad recipients.

[21:39:33] *** cpm has quit IRC
[21:39:59] <Rabble_Leader> why doesn't evolution get my mail even though I know postfix is working?  How's that?
[21:40:13] <recw> cpm: any ideas?
[21:40:57] <Rabble_Leader> I think maybe evolution is looking in the wrong place. is looking in the wrong place
[21:42:01] <devdas> Rabble_Leader: that's a pop3/imap server issue
[21:42:09] <Rabble_Leader> I test postfix on terminal and everything seems ok.  But evolution never finds mail that I know is stored in user directory
[21:42:12] <devdas> Where does the POP3 server expect the mail to be?
[21:42:18] <devdas> Tell Postfix to deliver there
[21:43:01] <Rabble_Leader> noe there's a question I can't answer.  I don't know where evolution thinks it should be
[21:43:33] <Rabble_Leader> I guess I'll have to do more research on my own.  Thanks.
[21:43:43] <devdas> not evolution, your IMAP/POP3 server
[21:44:10] <Rabble_Leader> courier?
[21:44:33] <devdas> are you sure?
[21:44:52] <Rabble_Leader> that's what I installed to enable pop and imap
[21:45:20] <devdas> ok, it expects ~user/Maildir/ by default
[21:45:40] *** olliu has joined #postfix
[21:45:42] <Rabble_Leader> I also think I may have screwed up because I did something to mkdir, but isn't evo looking for mbox format?
[21:45:47] <devdas> Is Maildir a file in the user's home, or a directory containing cur new and tmp as subdirectories?
[21:45:50] <devdas> no
[21:46:15] <Rabble_Leader> it is in the users home dir
[21:46:35] <Rabble_Leader> I know it's receiving the mail too
[21:46:37] <olliu> at wich stage exactly does postfix generate a message id if the delivered mail does not contain one?
[21:46:54] <devdas> In cleaup, IIRC
[21:47:02] <Rabble_Leader> I can't answer that question.  Over my head
[21:47:16] <devdas> _where_ in the homedir?
[21:48:13] <Rabble_Leader> no.  the mail is coming in and going to the maildir.  Evo just isn't getting it when I say to.  Doesn't creat an error message either though.  That's why I'm stumped.
[21:50:31] <devdas> Is evo trying to directly read the mbox file? or connect via IMAP?
[21:50:37] <devdas> Can you create an IMAP account?
[21:50:43] <Rabble_Leader> ok.  here's a question.  I wanna purge whatever I've done so I can start over.  Is ther a log I can look at that will guide me in backtracking?
[21:51:05] <devdas> postconf -n tells you what you have changed from the default config
[21:52:23] <Rabble_Leader> ah ... that might be helpful.   It's great to meet you guys.  Another question.  What were they talking about in the other forum saying I wasn't logged in.  I mean I'm in black.  Is that what it means.  a

[23:27:04] <olliu> hmm. how can i make my content filter telling postfix that the mail got dumped?
[23:28:15] <adaptr> try #content-filter ?
[23:28:21] *** idle-boy` has quit IRC
[23:30:12] <olliu> ?
[23:31:42] <adaptr> "hi, I'm using X; how can I tell Y to do Z?"
[23:32:00] *** mattx86 has joined #postfix
[23:34:23] <olliu> well, yes, problem is, that beyond the mere information how a content-filter wrapper could look like - as written in the filter readme - it gives no infomation about the way, the content filter talks back to postfix.
[23:37:23] <olliu> i would like to report back to postfix - tgetting it into the logfile - that a mail got discarded so i can see what happened to it - rather then message accepted for delivery wich appears to be postfix interpretation of exit code 0
[23:37:52] <olliu> (returned from the content filter process)
[23:38:21] <adaptr> a content filter should return to postfix what it received, i.e. an RFC2822 message
[23:38:41] <adaptr> and there are  a few optional variables that can be passed both ways, but not a lot
[23:39:49] <mattx86> is it possible to specify allowed sender domains (locally hosted domains) for specific recipients (eg, spam and ham addresses) in postfix?
[23:39:58] *** m0t3jl has quit IRC
[23:40:27] <adaptr> are these recipients locally known ? i.e. do they belong in your domain(s)?
[23:40:29] *** devdas has left #postfix
[23:40:35] <olliu> in the example the mail gets dropped with EX_TEMPFAIL if bad, exit 0 + sendmailed if good. now, if my content filter built along this pattern comes alon a bad mail i need postfix not to write "service temp. unavailable but rather something like his mail is bad.
[23:40:59] <olliu> his=this
[23:41:08] <adaptr> olliu: postfix will not do that if you set TEMPFAIL
[23:41:18] <adaptr> so drop it with another status
[23:41:26] <olliu> good point. but what status should i choose
[23:41:28] <adaptr> 550 REJECT usually does the trick
[23:41:35] <olliu> i looked over sysexit.h
[23:41:40] <adaptr> there's probably a list somewhere
[23:41:43] <olliu> nothingplausible
[23:42:17] <olliu> i googled till my fingers bleed for status codes to use to communicate to postfix caller. to no avail.
[23:42:17] <mattx86> adaptr: yes
[23:42:48] <adaptr> mattx86: it is always permitted to send mail between locally-owned domains
[23:44:19] <adaptr> olliu: UNAVAILABLE returns a 5xx Service Unavailable to the client, which is standard for spam
[23:44:31] <adaptr> and blacklisting etc.
[23:45:35] <mattx86> adaptr: I want to restrict sender access to local domains only, for the spam and ham recipient addresses.  I want to avoid the possibility of a spammer teaching our server that his spams are ham.
[23:46:30] <adaptr> mattx86: if you have spammers among your locally-owned domains, you have bigger problems to worry about
[23:48:01] <mattx86> adaptr: true, but that's not what I'm getting at.  see, if remote domains are *also* allowed to send e-mail to our spam and ham training addresses, well, that's bad.
[23:48:29] <adaptr> oh
[23:50:26] <mattx86> if they don't have a local e-mail account, they shouldn't be allowed to train our spam system  :)
[23:50:39] *** tombar_ has joined #postfix
[23:51:26] <adaptr> well, if these training addys are virtual, then you can restrict senders quite easily
[23:53:33] <mattx86> the training addys involve using a combination of transport_maps and it's own transport in master.cf
[23:53:40] *** keffer has joined #postfix
[23:54:18] <mattx86> the transport just runs a script based on which address it was sent to (spam or ham at domain dot tld)
[23:55:34] <mattx86> so technically, I could modify the script to query a list of virtual domains
[23:55:52] <mattx86> I was just hoping for a shortcut in postfix  ;)
[23:56:31] <mattx86> I know there's sender and recipient access, but I don't know that you can do what I'm wanting with that
