[00:01:26] <xeer> to map the aliases from root to the users?
[00:01:47] <adaptr> there is only ONE root!
[00:01:54] <adaptr> but root may have many aliases
[00:02:11] <adaptr> and you only map IT to ONE actual mail user who actually receives the mail
[00:02:26] <xeer> postmaster.. that's what I asked earlier
[00:02:53] <adaptr> no, postmaster is NOT a real user
[00:03:11] <adaptr> it is mapped to root in all distributions I have ever used
[00:03:11] <xeer> postmaster is not allowed to have a uid?
[00:03:20] <adaptr> it doesn't *need* one
[00:03:33] <adaptr> as it's just a mail alias for an adminstrator
[00:05:12] <xeer>  postfix/local[6167]: B996E3FFAF: to=<root at mail dot domain.com>, orig_to=<root>, relay=local, delay=0.01, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir)
[00:05:28] <adaptr> success!
[00:07:08] <xeer> That's great, but it's random to me where the files are kept. =/
[00:07:21] <adaptr> not at all
[00:07:26] <adaptr> !maildir
[00:07:27] <knoba> adaptr: "maildir" : a mailbox format introduced by qmail where emails are saved as individual files in a directory structure rather than into a single flat text file. Postfix settings like !home_mailbox and !virtual_mailbox_maps will allow delivery to maildir if the path value returned ends in /
[00:08:01] <xeer> Well I choose to use maildir because I like how it operates better then mbox
[00:08:11] <adaptr> obviously
[00:08:14] <xeer> I just don't know where postfix is putting the files..
[00:08:17] <adaptr> mbox is very last century
[00:08:23] <adaptr> you have told it where to put them
[00:08:30] <xeer> Maildir/
[00:08:31] <adaptr> so go look there
[00:08:33] <xeer> that's not a full path.
[00:08:41] <adaptr> now try *READING*
[00:10:52] * xeer mumbles
[00:11:29] <xeer> I'm finding a /root/Maildir
[00:11:31] <adaptr> !home_mailbox
[00:11:32] <knoba> adaptr: "home_mailbox" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: Optional pathname of a mailbox file relative to a local(8) user's home directory.
[00:11:50] <adaptr> RELATIVE TO A LOCAL USERS HOME DIRECTOREEEEEYYYY
[00:11:58] <adaptr> chorus!
[00:12:03] <xeer> lol
[00:14:48] <xeer> If I'm not confused, I need to make a virtual hash file for my email address and their directory location (so they don't go to /root/Maildir)? This hash goes to virtual_alias_maps?
[00:16:21] *** krawek has quit IRC
[00:18:35] <adaptr> nope
[00:18:45] <adaptr> !virtual_mailbox_maps
[00:18:46] <knoba> adaptr: "virtual_mailbox_maps" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: Optional lookup tables with all valid addresses in the domains that match $virtual_mailbox_domains.
[00:19:16] <adaptr> but that's just a lookup table, the location of the maildirs is at
[00:19:19] <adaptr> !virtual_mailbox_base
[00:19:20] <knoba> adaptr: "virtual_mailbox_base" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: A prefix that the virtual(8) delivery agent prepends to all pathname results from $virtual_mailbox_maps table lookups. This is a safety measure to ensure that an out of control map doesn't litter the filesystem with mailboxes. While virtual_mailbox_base could be set to "/", this setting isn't recommended.
[00:19:21] *** jeffspeff has joined #postfix
[00:19:52] <xeer> Yes, though virtual_mailbox_base doesn't know about user names in the email address.
[00:19:59] <adaptr> so you can set _base to /var/vmail/ and map each virtual user to anywhere underneath
[00:20:19] <adaptr> there are no user names in an email address, especially not with virtuals
[00:23:11] <xeer> If I set _base to /var/vmail, how can I seperate the emails by domain and then by user? eg: /var/vmail/domain.com/username/new,cur,tmp .. etc

[00:27:53] <adaptr> that one has all the details
[00:28:37] <xeer> Alright, ty
[00:28:55] <xeer> I'm already there though, been reading this page since yesterday afternoon..

[00:30:13] *** GoGi has joined #postfix
[00:30:47] <xeer> an example on that page (the last one) uses virtual_alias_maps with "postmaster at example dot com postmaster"
[00:30:48] *** remalit has quit IRC
[00:30:56] <xeer> do I need to alias every address??
[00:31:07] <xeer> whats the purpose of that...?
[00:32:13] <adaptr> no, if the RHS is not a folder or a FQN address then it is a local address
[00:32:30] <adaptr> and yes, every address must be present, unless you do a bit of wildcarding
[00:34:28] <xeer> and they should point to what user?
[00:34:39] <xeer> my postmaster, correct?
[00:34:53] <adaptr> wherever you wish them to go

[00:49:50] *** jeffspeff has quit IRC
[00:52:44] <xeer> warning: do not list domain MYDOMAIN.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains
[00:52:58] <adaptr> you're telling me ?
[00:53:00] <xeer> though, I only have it listed in virtual_mailbox_domains
[00:53:28] <xeer> mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost
[00:53:33] <xeer> myhostname and mydomain are commented out
[00:53:43] <xeer> and my default hostname is not my domain name.
[00:54:01] <adaptr> don't guess - prove
[00:54:08] <adaptr> postconf mydestination
[00:54:55] <xeer> I might ask, why doesn't it like it?
[00:55:45] <xeer> do I even care about what is in mydestination if I am using virtual domains?
[00:55:58] <adaptr> certainly, if only because of the aforementioned warning
[00:55:58] <xeer> all thats in there is localhost and localdomain

[00:56:45] <knoba> adaptr: "address_classes" : http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html describes how Postfix deals with different classes of addresses: local, relay, virtual alias, virtual mailbox, and Internet.
[00:56:48] <adaptr> sjeesh!
[00:56:54] <adaptr> there's 5 classes
[00:57:02] <xeer> hrm..
[00:57:02] <adaptr> each domain you control may be in only one class
[00:57:38] <adaptr> local, mydestination, relay_domains, virtual_bla and .. damn I always forget the last one

[03:59:53] *** growltiger has joined #postfix
[04:01:16] <dembug> can anyone tell me where i can find the config where i can change where authdaemond looks for the maildir: authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=<null>, sysuserid=5000, sysgroupid=5000, homedir=/home/vmail
[04:01:47] <dembug> I thought this was in the /etc/courier/authdaeond authdaemonrc but it seems to be set already so im a bit confused :)
[04:03:27] <sahil> dembug: is that a Postfix question? :)
[04:03:49] <dembug> heh, :( lol thats the thing, i'm not entirely sure :)
[04:04:11] <dembug> anyway i'm just glad i've finally got imap and pop3 working 100%, and virtual maps etc
[04:04:28] <dembug> only problem is i've missed some maildir var in some config :) and it says /home/vmail instead of what it should be /var/mail/vmail :D
[04:04:46] <dembug> its imapd trying to chdir in the wrong place , let me look in imapd.conf :P
[04:08:35] <dembug> virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/vmail
[04:08:38] <dembug> meh im stumped :(
[04:09:40] <dembug> heh i suppose i could be naughty and just ln -s /var/mail/vmail /home/vmail - that'd stop the imap auth daemon from moaning :)
[04:13:04] <dembug> aha
[04:13:16] <dembug> i might have forgotten to restart authdaemond :P
[04:13:52] <dembug> awesome, it works :) you rock thankyou for nothing!!!

[09:38:14] <corey> Hi people.
[09:38:57] *** cilly has joined #postfix
[09:40:11] <corey> I have my main.cf configured with virtual domain support, but all my mail goes directly to root.
[09:40:32] <corey> I'm not that familiar with the virtual_* variables to correctly map the emails to their respective folders based on the email address.
[09:40:36] <corey> How can I do such a thing?
[09:52:08] <corey> postfix seems to be ignoring the data in virtual_mailbox_maps. I have my address followed by my desired path. Instead it puts new mail in /root
[09:53:08] <corey> (yes, I have postmap'd the file)
[09:56:32] <rikkyc> corey: Can you show your config files?
[09:57:35] *** seekwill has quit IRC
[09:58:04] *** war9407 has joined #postfix
[09:58:12] <corey> Ah more debugging helped. Sending to postmaster@domain goes to root as expected. postfix tired to put mail from corey@domain into /home/corey, which doesn't exist because I'm not going to create a user for each address. I'm trying to make this virtual.

[10:00:36] <corey> oh i lied, 508 is the UID of corey in /etc/passwd.
[10:00:44] <corey> Should I remove this entry?
[10:03:31] <corey> I did so and I receive a bounced message stating the user does not exist. Shouldn't postfix be reading the address from my virtual_mailbox_maps hash file?
[10:03:39] <f3ew> corey, you need to move the domain from mydestination to virtual_mailbox_domains
[10:04:13] <corey> that has already been done
[10:06:45] <corey> I removed the domain from mydestination because the logs reported it shouldn't be in both places.
[10:06:55] <corey> I actually just commented out mydestination
[10:10:04] <f3ew> no
[10:10:20] <f3ew> see postconf mydestination to see actual values
[10:10:53] <corey> It includes myhostname and mydomain
[10:11:13] <corey> both of which I commented out because it had my domain name in it..
[10:13:46] <corey> The readme says to put my domain in mydestination. the error logs warns that it shouldn't be in both places... i'm confused!
[10:14:20] <corey> * be in both virtual_mailbox_domains and mydestination
[10:16:05] <corey> Final-Recipient: rfc822; corey at localhost dot localdomain
[10:16:13] <corey> that's from the bounced message
[10:17:18] <corey> if I include my domain in mydestination, the email address should exand to my domain name.. should I just ignore the message the log gives me about having it in both placeS?
[10:19:06] <f3ew> no
[10:19:21] <f3ew> See http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html

[10:39:09] <corey_> the readme doesn't tell me what goes in the virtual_uid_maps file. postfix wants me to give it the uid for the recipient?
[10:39:26] <corey_> should I give it the uid of the postmaster?
[10:42:48] <f3ew> the uid of the owner of the directory where the mail will be stored

[11:23:28] <buffoon_work> hi! i want to configure postfix to use a mysql database for the transport. First i used hash tables (example line: domain.com :[123.123.123.123]) which worked fine. now i use a table with just the domain and then the ip adress (tried with [] and without) but i always get "could not connect to transport [123.123.123.123]: No such file or directory"
[11:25:09] <buffoon_work> i guess the syntax in the database is wrong...
[11:25:35] <buffoon_work> but how do i have to put that on the database?
[11:26:42] <shasta> start with :
[11:27:08] <buffoon_work> ah, so :[123.123.123] should work?
[11:27:43] <shasta> select transport from transports where domain='domain.com' should return exactly what you had in hash tables -- ':[123.123.123.123]', or, if you want it to be more readable -- 'smtp:[123.123.123.123]'
[11:30:29] <buffoon_work> ah, ok. works fine now thank you

[13:08:09] <xpoint> UB`, your postfix have one missing thing, where is your wan ip ?

[13:08:34] <UB`> no wan
[13:08:35] <UB`> yes
[13:08:46] <UB`> it's behind a NAT
[13:08:51] <xpoint> then add the wan ip
[13:09:21] <UB`> is it a problem if there isn't?
[13:09:28] <xpoint> postconf -e 'proxy_interfaces=<wan-ip>' where wan-ip is the wan ip
[13:09:38] <tuxick> i'm using ldap-aliases.cf: query_filter = mailAlternateAddress=%s, result_attribute = mail, yet postfix passes %s to dovecot deliver
[13:09:40] <tuxick> how to fix this?
[13:11:33] <tuxick> probably need to find out how to pass correct param in master.cf ?
[13:12:15] <xpoint> dovecot have its own lda, why not use it as mailbox_command ?

[13:13:01] <xpoint> tuxick, http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
[13:13:19] <cpm> maybe tuxick isn't doing local delivery?
[13:13:40] <cpm> maybe he's using dovecot deliver because his users are virtual?
[13:13:48] <xpoint> cpm, alias rewrite before lda
[13:14:19] <tuxick> users and aliass both in ldap
[13:14:27] <xpoint> dovecot uses lda even for virtual users
[13:14:46] <xpoint> but do not use postfix lda
[13:15:26] <cpm> xpoint, I see
[13:15:39] <xpoint> tuxick, you have 2 issues, one is ldap, other is lda config
[13:15:53] <tuxick> ldap isn't the problem :)
[13:16:01] <tuxick> postfix finds the alias just fine
[13:16:30] <xpoint> but is the final dest what dovecot sees or not is the point :)
[13:16:57] <tuxick> well that's the point, i can either make postfix pass the 'real' address to deliver
[13:16:59] <xpoint> alias rewrite before lda
[13:17:31] <tuxick> yeah, that sounds like the keywords i mean :)
[13:17:42] <xpoint> yep
[13:18:18] <xpoint> UB`, no problem
[13:18:19] <tuxick> this means i have to find this in postfix docs somewhere, not in dovecot
[13:18:55] <tuxick> or find a way do make deliver do things right
[13:19:02] <xpoint> tuxick, read readme ldap in postfix ?
[13:19:40] <xpoint> see the wiki page above, and fix postfix ldap to make alias rewrite before lda
[13:20:04] <xpoint> solved
[13:20:07] <tuxick> hold on, that wiki is about dovecot
[13:20:25] <tuxick> if i pass real address to dovecot lda why read that?
[13:20:26] <xpoint> its about sex to :)
[13:20:52] <cpm> it is all about sex
[13:21:03] * tuxick sighs
[13:21:45] <xpoint> tuxick, as i say you have 2 uniq issues, one is dovecot config in postfix, the other is ldap config in postfix
[13:22:07] <xpoint> both problems need to be solved
[13:22:21] <tuxick> no, i have 1 issue that can be solved in two ways
[13:22:39] <tuxick> if postfix takes care of rewriting dovecot is just fine
[13:22:59] <tuxick> or if it doesn't, i need to find out how to fix dovecot
[13:25:04] <tuxick> and i can't figure out either
[13:26:19] <tuxick> ah sorry, "dovecot config in postfix"

[14:09:17] <tuxick> it's sorted now
[14:09:17] <xpoint> results is ether empty, or results that dovecot/postfix needs
[14:09:32] <tuxick> well i did get the right result, but it wasn't passed on
[14:09:43] <tuxick> until i also defined virtual_alias_maps
[14:09:46] * cpm hopes tuxick doesn't pass on
[14:10:05] <tuxick> cpm: au contraire! got almost everything sorted now
[14:10:08] <xpoint> tuxick, remember dovecot can only deliver to mailbox, not to alias, that all
[14:10:26] <tuxick> xpoint: no worries, dovecot has been working fine all along
[14:10:42] *** master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master
[14:11:02] <tuxick> but now i can mail to an alias, have that expand to valid ldap account, have milter-clamav use userprefs from mysql etc :)
[14:11:16] <xpoint> tuxick, see deliver as a local lda in postfix terms then you know what to change in postfix
[14:11:19] <tuxick> the only problem now would be multiple accounts with same aliases
[14:11:43] <tuxick> xpoint: yesyes, that's why i needed postfix to take care of rewriting

[14:13:14] <tuxick> suppose qmail could have done the trick too yes
[14:13:25] <tuxick> but i wanted something capable of handling milters and ldap

[15:54:10] <al-Quaknaa> Hello, please, where can I find out what certain status numbers mean for generic checks? For example those two:

[15:54:17] <al-Quaknaa> generic_checks: name=reject_unauth_destination status=2
[15:54:44] <rob0> I wonder why you're using verbose logging? It rarely helps.
[15:54:48] <lunaphyte_> the source code?
[15:55:09] <al-Quaknaa> I don't know why my server rejects messages from outside
[15:55:16] <al-Quaknaa> I'm trying to set it up with mailman
[15:55:39] <al-Quaknaa> But most howtos I've found are with virtual domains, which I don't want to use
[15:56:30] <lunaphyte_> postfix will almost certainly complain loudly enough about rejections without the need for verbose logging.
[15:56:39] <al-Quaknaa> I think something with my mynetworks or mydestination is wrong.
[15:56:47] <al-Quaknaa> OK, I'll turn it off and see what I get ...

[17:40:56] <madsage_> i wasnt sure where, i added to main.cnf  it didnt help either..
[17:41:05] <seekwill> Then you NEED to link that box to your exchange server.
[17:41:24] <seekwill> You NEED NEED NEED to authenticate the users BEFORE it hits your Exchange server
[17:41:38] <madsage_> via LDAP?

[17:57:09] <mrichman> can i have both postfix and sendmail share /var/spool/mail/ ?
[17:57:26] <mrichman> i see postfix uses cur,new,tmp and sendmail just has mbox file
[17:57:57] <seekwill> mrichman: Looks like postfix is using Maildir...
[17:58:12] <mrichman> seekwill: yes, thats in the config file
[17:58:27] <seekwill> Why would you run sendmail and postfix at the same time?
[17:58:28] <mrichman> seekwill: so just point my mail reader to ~/Maildir ?
[17:58:42] <mrichman> seekwill: was not intentional
[17:58:52] <seekwill> Oh... I don't know.
[17:58:54] <mrichman> seekwill: i was following a howto on setting up TLS locally

[18:00:34] <mrichman> Is there a way to force postfix to accept TLS connections only?

[18:01:02] <mrichman> yes i know...this is for a specific test

[18:23:14] <madsage_> thanks, that will help. this was sposed to work out of the box, spam vigalante. without too much reconfiguration or postfix knowlege. i could have built my own sendmail filer from source by now. lol
[18:23:47] <madsage_> been using sendmail for 12yrs now
[18:23:57] <madsage_> sendmail and qmail
[18:24:47] <cpm> when migrating from sendmail to postfix, first, forget that you thought that you knew anything. Start at postfix.org, and begin.
[18:25:26] <cpm> madsage_, also a ~12 yr sendmail veteran. The learning curve for me +postfix was very steep, until I just accepted that I didn't know anything.
[18:25:27] <cpm> :)
[18:25:53] *** rmayorga has quit IRC
[18:26:17] <madsage_> i guess i should have done more research before deployment. no worries. i'm thinking i'll stick to what works for me. come back to postfix later. i do belive it is far more configurable. but i need to know what i'm doing better.  i just need it to stop rejection on unknown recipient for now. maybe
[18:26:39] <madsage_> cpm, yeah i admit. i dont know this. =]
[18:26:47] *** rmayorga has joined #postfix
[18:26:52] <cpm> why  would you stop rejecting on unknown recipient? You should reject on unknown recipient
[18:26:53] <madsage_> well enough to have deployed it
[18:27:38] <madsage_> cpm, yes i agree it should. but until i can figure that out, get it to auth via LDAP and my active directory, i'm bouncing email.
[18:28:04] <cpm> you moved an untested smtp box into production?
[18:28:06] <madsage_> surely there is a simple solution to stop bouncing emails?
[18:28:29] <cpm> you are not bouncing, you are rejecting. (I hope) That's wholly different
[18:28:55] <madsage_> were a small company, i dont think anybody even knows yet, that i've bounced some emails. otehr than i told my CEO. my spam filter is not working right yet.
[18:29:07] <cpm> bounced or rejected?
[18:29:10] <madsage_> yes rejecting
[18:29:16] <madsage_> rejecting
[18:29:29] <madsage_> Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table
[18:30:44] <cpm> I spent 4 months with various virtual postfix implementations, before I cut over from the old sendmail box. I think you've got some homework to do.
[18:31:23] <madsage_> yep, i just redirected my smtp port back to the exchange server for now
[18:31:32] <cpm> cool
[18:31:41] <seekwill> Didn't I say to do that a while ago :P
[18:32:02] <mrichman> I have inet_interfaces=all and proxy_interfaces = my.public.ip.address but I still cant connect to 25/tcp from outside...any ideas?
[18:32:10] <madsage_> back to teh drawing board, i only rejected spam mostly anyways. heh
[18:32:23] <seekwill> madsage_: If you were a small company, I'd suggest going with an outside provider for that sort of thing
[18:32:35] <cpm> quite so.
[18:32:36] <madsage_> seek, no control man.
[18:32:41] * cpm still wants to do that.
[18:32:46] <seekwill> madsage_: No control?
[18:32:58] <madsage_> yes no control over the filter, or little
[18:32:58] <cpm> who wants control? holy cow
[18:33:10] <seekwill> madsage_: You mean, you won't have control?
[18:33:16] <madsage_> yes ofcourse
[18:33:18] <madsage_> heh
[18:33:21] <seekwill> Why would you want control?
[18:33:26] <madsage_> i guess i'm a glutton for punishment
[18:33:30] <seekwill> You can't even get your mailserver up :P
[18:33:38] <madsage_> email server is fine
[18:33:44] <seekwill> relay
[18:34:01] <seekwill> What would you... control?
[18:34:16] <Dominian> spammer at 12 o'clock!
[18:34:19] * Dominian gets out the gun
[18:34:51] <madsage_> retrieval of false positives and things like this. while i know some of the providers have some nifty panels for such things
[18:35:25] <madsage_> i need more *nix boxes anyways
[18:35:28] <seekwill> madsage_: Message Labs is probably one of the largest, and best, providers of this type of service
[18:35:38] <seekwill> I wonder if they do outgoing mail as well..
[18:36:21] <xpoint> seekwill, why do you care ?
[18:36:40] <seekwill> Because it would be a complete solution
[18:36:56] <xpoint> seekwill, to what problem ?
[18:37:00] <seekwill> Outgoing mail
[18:37:26] <cpm> yes, fully applied SEP field. That's a win
[18:37:27] <xpoint> will fix recipients denied emails ?
[18:37:39] <cpm> xpoint, will fix the BLAME
[18:37:46] <seekwill> SEP?

[18:40:31] <mrichman> Damn Bellsouth bastards block 25/tcp ... how do I set this up to listen on an alternate port?
[18:41:16] <xpoint> mrichman, there is a reason thay do block 25, no ?
[18:41:32] <mrichman> xpoint: common with ISPs
[18:41:52] <mrichman> I guess 587/tcp is a well-known alternate?
[18:41:58] <xpoint> mrichman, my isp is okay with it
[18:42:07] <seekwill> mrichman: It's not an "alternate"
[18:44:08] <xpoint> mrichman, your isp forbids you to use the ip to have a smtp listen server, so if you need to have one ask isp to give you a ip that is first of all static assigned, and there tos allow to run a email server on this ip, else ask them about backup mx
[18:45:01] <mrichman> xpoint: well i have a static IP and can control my MX record...they wont unblock 25/tcp for me since they assume any use of 25/tcp is for spamming
[18:45:20] <mrichman> xpoint: can I configure an alternate port in an MX record? dont think so
[18:45:38] <xpoint> backup mx
[18:45:47] <seekwill> mrichman: Incoming 25 for spamming?
[18:45:50] <xpoint> isp or other
[18:46:01] <seekwill> Or they are blocking outgoing 25?
[18:46:06] <mrichman> both
[18:46:22] <xpoint> clueless isp :-)
[18:46:29] <mrichman> unless you use mail.bellsouth.net of course
[18:46:40] <xpoint> mrichman, ask how to send mail then
[18:46:59] <mrichman> no - they want all 25/tcp traffic to go through their server only
[18:47:15] <xpoint> postconf -e 'relayhost=mail.bellsouth.net'
[18:47:30] <seekwill> mrichman: So do that
[18:47:41] <mrichman> xpoint: right, but that wont fix the incoming connection issue, which is all i care about
[18:47:56] <xpoint> mrichman, backup mx
[18:48:16] <mrichman> not sure if i'm explaining this properly
[18:48:16] <seekwill> mrichman: Dyndns offers a mailhop service that can help with that
[18:48:25] <xpoint> where the backup mx do port forwarding
[18:48:41] <mrichman> oh
[18:48:55] <mrichman> cuz i was about to say DNS records dont specify ports
[18:49:23] <xpoint> mrichman, and yes dyndns have domain port forwarding
[18:49:49] <xpoint> mrichman, change port on dns is not needed
[18:49:54] <mrichman> ok....so assuming i get that set up, how do I get postfix to listen on something other than 25/tcp ?
[18:50:19] <xpoint> mrichman, in master.cf
[18:50:28] <Trengo> buy a static IP?
[18:50:35] <mrichman> Trengo: i have one
[18:50:42] <Trengo> and they block 25?
[18:50:44] <mrichman> YES
[18:50:45] <Trengo> on a static?
[18:50:47] <mrichman> Bellsouth
[18:50:49] <mrichman> YES
[18:50:51] <Trengo> change providers
[18:50:52] <mrichman> lol
[18:51:08] <Trengo> ;)
[18:51:28] <xpoint> Trengo, yes clueless isps

[18:52:55] <Trengo> they dont sell
[18:53:15] <Trengo> mrichman thats outgoing but incoming scares me
[18:53:32] <Trengo> means a shop can't handle their own email
[18:53:38] <cpm> Trengo, buy a business account, and port 25 isn't blocked.
[18:53:52] <Trengo> cpm thats not what mrichman says
[18:54:01] <cpm> what's the IP address?
[18:54:05] <cpm> I'll find out right now.
[18:54:24] <Trengo> mrichman whats the IP address?
[18:54:30] <madsage_> how can they block outgoing port 25, what do they expect you to use? lol
[18:54:53] <mrichman> they expect me to use mail.bellsouth.net
[18:54:53] <cpm> madsage_, they expect you to use the upstream MTA to relay
[18:54:57] <cpm> exactly
[18:55:02] <madsage_> or maybe they are blocking all except ISP smtp port 25
[18:55:04] <mrichman> but in my case, i only need inbound smtp for my scenario
[18:55:11] <cpm> uh huh

[19:07:39] <cpm> pickcoder, you are a network consultant. you need it.
[19:08:17] <pickcoder> apparently, they refuse to offer business-class in my neighborhood
[19:08:22] <cpm> business class allows you a cidr, and swip so you can run your own dns/smtp blah blah. Worth it.
[19:08:39] <pickcoder> my mechainc has a garage at the end of the street and they won't sell him b-class either
[19:08:45] <cpm> well, with 6mb, you can get a vps somewhere. That's reasonable.

[19:27:26] *** jeeter522 has joined #postfix
[19:29:53] <jeeter522> Got a little problem guys, would appreciate any help - I was running postfix solely on a box as a front end MTA and having it fwd over to an exchange server (using relay_recipients + transport), what I would like to do now is also accept mail using Dovecot POP3 on the same box postfix is on, is this possible? from what I gather postfix still trys to send my mail off to exchange, and not keep it local :| any ideas??
[19:31:17] *** madrescher has joined #postfix
[19:36:50] *** gonewestcoast has quit IRC
[19:37:10] <gonewestcoast_> jeeter522: Yeah, look up split-domain. :)
[19:37:19] *** gonewestcoast_ is now known as GoneWestCoast
[19:37:26] <cpm> look up split personality while you're at it too.
[19:38:21] <GoneWestCoast> In other words, what you can do is have relay_recipients also be a transport map that lists the Exchange server for non-local users.
[19:39:16] *** comforteagle has joined #postfix
[19:39:57] <comforteagle> anyone know how I can reconfigure postfix on centos so I can reinstall from the package & go through the config script again?
[19:39:59] <jeeter522> well, the whole reason i put postfix in was to secure exchange, but now the exchange server is crapping the bed, so i need to move everyone to pop3/imap on the postfix box pronto
[19:40:33] <jeeter522> so the source of everyones email box is on the exchange server, and i have a relay_recipient and a transport to point to my exchange box, and filter all valid addys
[19:41:28] <jeeter522> but say i switch port 110 to my linux server, and try to send a test email, i bounce back w. the 5.1.1
[19:43:15] <jeeter522> gonewestcoast : so my situation is kinda reversed, you know what i mean ?
[19:45:13] *** olinux has joined #postfix
[19:45:17] <GoneWestCoast> Sure, the Postfix box doesn't realize that those accounts exist locally.
[19:45:28] <GoneWestCoast> It just views them as relay recipients (read as: recipients to relay). :)
[19:46:04] <olinux> in the  event of a hard bounce is it common practice for a mail server to attempt delivery again? (i.e. perhaps the receiving mail server was temporary offline)
[19:46:07] *** morbusg has joined #postfix
[19:46:28] <GoneWestCoast> olinux: Only if they're misconfigured.
[19:46:33] <GoneWestCoast> If they have soft-bounce turned on, sure.
[19:49:00] <jeeter522> GoneWestCoast : im not so sure I follow? I thought relay_recipients was intended for email addresses only, not servers?? how is this done? i couldnt find any good doc on split domain
[19:49:17] <morbusg> How does one define hosts which are allowed to send mail to my system when I'm getting mail via my ISP's relayhost. check helo_access and client_access seem to be no-go.
[19:50:01] <GoneWestCoast> jeeter522: The way you've set this up is, those addresses exist, but they exist on the Exchange box.  The postfix MTA isn't aware that you've added those boxes locally.
[19:50:45] <jeeter522> correct, is there a way to have both? only because these local boxes are temporary
[19:52:13] <jeeter522> probably not

[20:02:33] <GoneWestCoast> am: Oh, wait.  Actual delivery location?
[20:02:52] <ams> yes
[20:03:06] <GoneWestCoast> ams: Google does something similar.  They broke LDAP internally to user a variety of endpoint servers (running Cyrus).
[20:03:20] <GoneWestCoast> ams: So you have a username, a domain, and a server within the schema.
[20:03:35] <GoneWestCoast> Is that what you're trying to do, or do you mean something else by "location?"
[20:04:03] <ams> i mean the mail spool directory location
[20:04:33] <ams> or, wait
[20:04:35] <ams> that is stupid
[20:04:42] <ams> thanks, that was a stupid idea
[20:04:58] <GoneWestCoast> ams: Stupid or not, it's possible.  Just have the assignment be the result of an LDAP query.
[20:05:09] <GoneWestCoast> It MAY have to change on a "per server" basis though, I don't think that can be set per user.
[20:05:37] <jeeter522> GoneWestCoast : i am completely stuck here, anything you can recommend me doing to fix this issue without completely breaking the link between postfix/exchange ?
[20:05:58] <GoneWestCoast> jeeter522: How many users?
[20:06:04] <jeeter522> about 40
[20:06:05] *** dinar has joined #postfix
[20:06:21] <GoneWestCoast> Okay, either you're going to be scripting or typing a lot. :)
[20:06:31] <GoneWestCoast> Build the users locally on the gateway box.
[20:06:39] <GoneWestCoast> For right now, pretend Exchange isn't there.
[20:06:42] <jeeter522> ok
[20:07:09] <GoneWestCoast> When it is, give each user a .forward file in their home directory, set to deliver either to the Exchange server, or to deliver to both the exchange server as well as locally.
[20:07:42] <GoneWestCoast> I was in an environment where they did this for 80K users.
[20:07:55] <GoneWestCoast> There was PROBABLY a better way to do it, but if you're time critical...
[20:10:14] <ams> shoot the people who wanted a exchange server
[20:10:17] *** madrescher has quit IRC
[20:11:04] <GoneWestCoast> ams: I view the exchange portion as irrelevant.
[20:11:19] <GoneWestCoast> We've got an MX server here that's a gateway, instead of Exchange we've got a Zimbra server.
[20:11:25] <GoneWestCoast> I just don't like having my endpoint servers on the edge. :)
[20:11:41] <GoneWestCoast> jeeter522: Be sure you turn on Soft-Bounce before you start changing this stuff.

[23:15:24] <XSlicer> Hey, Ive had this problem with "do not list domain in both mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains", which I fixed, only I read through my logs and it seems I received a few mails. Is there any way of retreiving those?
[23:16:38] <pickcoder> XSlicer: they should have been delivered then
[23:16:53] <XSlicer> They werent, sadly.
[23:17:32] <pickcoder> were they rejected?
[23:18:45] <XSlicer> No, only postfix/qmgr[40486]: 05D265CDB: removed
[23:18:54] <XSlicer> Like normal
[23:20:54] <seekwill> Why can't people ask cooler questions
[23:21:41] <pickcoder> XSlicer: if it wasn't rejected.. and it was transported to another hop
[23:21:51] <pickcoder> then either the policy_content monster ate it
[23:22:02] <pickcoder> or your virtuals put it in the wrong place and you can't find it?
[23:22:11] <pickcoder> meh
[23:22:17] * pickcoder needs to go home

[23:22:27] <adaptr> I need a new swiss army knife
[23:22:29] <XSlicer> Nah, it all works now, only during that error it seems it didnt deliver..
[23:22:43] <seekwill> adaptr: Becuse uh...
[23:22:45] <pickcoder> adaptr: we sell Leatherman & Gerber
[23:22:49] <pickcoder> ;)
[23:22:54] * sysmonk loans adaptr his knife
[23:22:55] <XSlicer> Unless it didnt deliver to my virtual
[23:22:57] * seekwill has a Gerber
[23:23:23] <adaptr> me too, but I meant inside postfix
[23:23:26] <adaptr> hence perl
[23:23:40] <adaptr> YOU wanted cool questions
[23:23:48] <adaptr> and this one is at least marginally hard to answer
[23:24:00] <pickcoder> a Perl hook would slow it down IMO

[23:25:27] <sysmonk> adaptr: is it? :P
[23:25:54] <adaptr> compared to setup, maintenance and software costs, hardware is irrelevant these days
[23:26:15] <adaptr> for any remotely commercial application, anyway :)
[23:26:16] <sysmonk> tell that to my employer ;/
[23:26:33] <seekwill> Who is your employer?
[23:27:11] <sysmonk> seekwill: teh one which pays less for work than for hardware / setup / anything else :P
[23:27:16] <seekwill> oh
[23:27:50] <Dantix> seekwill: I found a way to differentiate the path incoming mails takes. I'm using amavis running on localhost:10025. Locahost is differente for each of my boxes, so amavis put it register on the message header with the hostname, let me track the mail path  :D and I maintain myorigin the same on both server ...
[23:28:03] <seekwill> ah ok

[23:33:28] <Led-Hed> in my transport_maps I have 'autoreply.domain.tld' in my main.cf I have mydestination = $transport_maps,  I dont want to accept mail when the recipient is @autoreply.domain.tld.  Is there a way to prevent postfix from accepting mail for the autoreply domain?
[23:33:47] <loadkast> Adaptr: I need someone how and walk me through it form start to finished
[23:34:11] <sysmonk> loadkast: how much ya pay?
[23:34:23] <rob0> "mydestination = $transport_maps", ugly!
[23:34:52] <sysmonk> rob0: atleast it's preatier than "mydestination = $my_mum"
[23:34:52] <loadkast> why should i pay ..
[23:34:52] <sysmonk> ;P
[23:34:56] <Led-Hed> rob0, ok.  Thats what the tutorial I followed told me to do.  What is better?
[23:35:05] <sysmonk> loadkast: why should we walk you through from the begining till the end?
[23:35:17] <sysmonk> you've got all the documentations, and we can answer some _specific_ question or give a hint
[23:35:23] <sysmonk> but not _WALK_ through everything
[23:35:25] *** Dantix has joined #postfix
[23:35:40] *** XSlicer has quit IRC
[23:35:42] <adaptr> we could get thumbs to walk all OVER you
[23:35:44] <rob0> What is better is to list in mydestination what you need in mydestination, and only use transport_maps when you need to override DNS for a given domain.
[23:35:44] <sysmonk> walking through everything is almost the same as teaching, it requires lots of time and effort
[23:35:47] <loadkast> because ... im asking.. you too
[23:35:48] <adaptr> that's no problem

[23:36:03] <knoba> rob0: "sweet" : http://sweet.nodns4.us/
[23:36:05] <sysmonk> and answering a specific question can be fast, but in no way it'll take that long
[23:36:09] <rob0> loadkast: ^^
[23:36:21] <sysmonk> and if it will, then both helper and you would learn something
[23:36:33] <loadkast> well i can install the app . i need help configuring it
[23:36:54] <rob0> I need cookies
[23:37:06] <loadkast> i can send you some
[23:37:06] <Dantix> hi again, what autoresponder is advisable to use with virtual users stored at mysql database? seems Yaa! isn't active anymore..
[23:38:01] <loadkast> can someone list all the apps i should have install
[23:38:03] <sysmonk> loadkast: 'well, i can buy milk, but youll have to teach me how to bake a pie'
[23:38:14] <pickcoder> loadkast: what O/S
[23:38:24] <loadkast> Fedora
[23:38:29] <sysmonk> pickcoder: you'll have to install it by the way
[23:38:32] <pickcoder> an RPM would be ideal
[23:38:46] <sysmonk> he will only supply hardware and cd's
[23:38:58] <sysmonk> everything else you'll have to walk through

[23:39:42] *** VaNNi has quit IRC
[23:40:00] <pickcoder> I'm sure there is an RPM available for Fedora
[23:40:19] <loadkast> I just installed them
[23:40:20] <al-Quaknaa> I don't really know which transport should be used for this delivery (if I should modify anything) and why is it not just piping the mail to the command as I would expect it to ...
[23:40:49] <rob0> Al, a wild guess, "postconf allow_mail_to_commands"?
[23:40:49] <sysmonk> pickcoder: yeah, but he'll have to time rpm -i ... that's HARD. so he'll take that on him. you'll only have to configure everything
[23:41:01] <sysmonk> rob0: ye, just wanted to say that too
[23:41:19] <al-Quaknaa> mx3:/etc/postfix# postconf allow_mail_to_commands
[23:41:19] <al-Quaknaa> allow_mail_to_commands = alias, forward
[23:41:39] <sysmonk> al-Quaknaa: and mydomain.net expands from where?
[23:41:39] <loadkast> ok
[23:41:52] <al-Quaknaa> sysmonk, sorry, I don't understand
[23:41:56] <al-Quaknaa> what do you mean?
[23:41:58] <pickcoder> loadkast: there is a decent basic guide to help you configure the existing setup
[23:41:59] * sysmonk /whois'es loadkast and sees #sendmail
[23:42:14] <sysmonk> al-Quaknaa: where do you have pokus at mydomain dot net | /var/lib/mailman... ?
[23:42:38] <rob0> I bet it's in virtual_alias_maps and not in alias_maps as it needs to be.
[23:42:42] <sysmonk> mhm
[23:42:48] <sysmonk> the only real answer to that
[23:42:53] <adaptr> sysmonk: heh, he probably started out there and ran here in disgust/fright/desperation
[23:42:58] <sysmonk> atleast, the one which comes to my mind
[23:43:01] <al-Quaknaa> I have those "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post pokus" lines in /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases whic is mentioned in main.cf in alias_maps

[23:51:57] <sysmonk> rob0: like grep line  | md5 -s ?

[23:52:33] <al-Quaknaa> he said line, not the whole file .. well, that's the whole line, I have the same on a working install and it works ..
[23:52:48] <Juzzy> Is there a way to forward ALL emails (local and remote) to a specific remote mailbox, and not to the original recipient (for a QA and dev enviroment) ??
[23:52:48] <pickcoder> Led-Hed: do you have services that send mail to "root", "uucp" ,etc
[23:52:54] <Led-Hed> ahh
[23:52:56] <rob0> Okay, yeah, I don't get it then. I was guessing maybe the "" were missing.
[23:53:18] <rob0> um, could it have been edited in Windows?
[23:53:24] <al-Quaknaa> No
[23:53:57] <Led-Hed> pickcoder, so it would be ok to have mydesionation = localhost and virtual_mailbox_domains for virtual accounts
[23:54:07] <pickcoder> Led-Hed: sure
[23:54:15] <Led-Hed> ok, will try that.  Thanks
[23:54:24] <adaptr> more usually, you put the machine's FQDN in mydestination
[23:54:29] <adaptr> it will sanitize mail routing
[23:54:43] <al-Quaknaa> Should it work without playing with transports, right?
