[04:50:03] <monte_carlo> hi all
[04:51:39] <monte_carlo> i have postfix 2.3.3 running with mysql, virtual user and using postfixadmin program to manage the users
[04:52:05] <monte_carlo> there are 10 virtual domains hosted in my mail server
[04:54:07] <monte_carlo> one domain has weird issue,  i can still send email to unknown user in virtual mailbox table
[04:54:27] <monte_carlo> for the rest of 9 domains hve no problem like this
[04:54:30] *** dinar has quit IRC
[04:55:36] <monte_carlo> can someone help me to solve this problem pls ?
[04:56:13] *** Juspion has joined #postfix
[04:56:31] <seekwill> So you have a catchall for that domain?
[05:00:00] <monte_carlo> catchall ?
[05:01:28] <monte_carlo> only one domain has this problem, anyone can send email to unknown virtual mailbox users
[05:03:03] <monte_carlo> it should be bounced with error messages 'Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table'
[05:03:54] <monte_carlo> how to disable or enable  catchall for the domain?
[05:04:40] <chadmaynard> what are your virtual_alias_maps and local_recipient_maps set to?
[05:06:47] <monte_carlo> virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
[05:07:16] <monte_carlo> i dont specify the local_recipient_maps
[05:07:40] <monte_carlo> #
[05:07:40] <monte_carlo> #local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
[05:07:40] <monte_carlo> #local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
[05:07:40] <monte_carlo> #local_recipient_maps =

[05:09:33] <monte_carlo> pickcoder : thanks for the tips
[05:11:46] <monte_carlo> it happen for one domain
[05:12:09] <monte_carlo> another 9 domains doest have this issue
[05:17:17] <rob0> 9 lines of comments pasted in channel?
[05:17:58] <rob0> Did you know that lines beginning with "#" are ignored?
[05:20:06] <monte_carlo> rob0 : very sorry for that. I didn't know about that
[05:21:18] <monte_carlo> i am not familiar with this tool actually (using X-chat Aqua on Mac)
[05:32:37] <monte_carlo> anyone can help me to address this issue pls ?
[05:33:21] <rob0> !unknown_virtual
[05:33:21] <knoba> rob0: "unknown_virtual" : \"User unknown in virtual $X table\" means that the recipient domain was found in $virtual_$X_domains but the username@domain was not found in $virtual_$X_maps. ("$X" can be either alias or mailbox .)
[05:35:37] *** AcTiVaTe has joined #postfix
[05:40:23] <monte_carlo> ya it should be bounced with 'User unknown in virtual $X table" if try to sending email to unknown user
[05:40:51] <monte_carlo> but the problem is its still delivered by postfix virtual
[05:41:59] <monte_carlo> is this because of the main.cf config or the postfixadmin config?

[05:42:25] <monte_carlo> i use postfixadmin software to manage virtual domains, mailboxes and aliases
[05:43:16] <monte_carlo> hmmm ok let me check it rob0
[05:44:09] <Dominian> monte_carlo: wiki.slackadelic.com   the mailserver tutorial may give you a few hints..
[05:46:44] <monte_carlo> wow using slackwae 12.0, i love it

[09:41:29] <Haris1> so if virtual_mailbox_base=/mail/ that means, all email accounts will exist under /mail/ ?

[12:22:57] <mosez> hi
[12:23:16] <mosez> can i bind ssl certs to specific domains?
[12:23:40] *** dinar has joined #postfix
[12:23:42] <mosez> the mailserver itself runs for example on mail.foo.tld, adding for this a cert is no problem.
[12:24:28] <mosez> but if my customers wanna use their own domain, for axample mail.bar.tld the always get a message that the cert is not for their domain
[12:25:15] <mosez> so they can use mail.foo.tld for ssl connections without a message, but not mail.bar.tld
[12:25:42] <dinar> hello please help
[12:26:44] <dinar> i installed. configured with dpkg-reconfigure. read how-to about postfix from help.ubuntu.com.
[12:26:54] <dinar> so it should work.
[12:26:58] <sysmonk> mosez: nope. unless you can give different ip's for each domain
[12:27:39] <mosez> sysmonk: so if i give every ever mail.xxx domain an own ip i can do this?
[12:27:48] <mosez> s/ever/every/
[12:28:04] <mosez> arg
[12:30:10] <mosez> i hope you understand what i mean =)
[12:31:45] *** hparker has joined #postfix
[12:32:02] <sysmonk> mosez: ssl certs are bound do domains
[12:32:15] <sysmonk> and postfix can't know if you're connecting to mail.domain1.com or mail.domain2.com
[12:32:25] <sysmonk> you can only know that if those 2 domains resolve to 2 different ip's
[12:32:55] <sysmonk> then, in postfix, you could bind cert1 to IP1, cert2 to IP2 and etc
[12:33:40] *** ming_zym has quit IRC
[12:34:33] <mosez> sysmonk: but how did i bind these certs to the ips?
[12:35:28] <sysmonk> mosez: master.cf, just define a different smtp/smtps service for each ip, with different ssl settings
[12:36:31] <sysmonk> 1.1.1.1:smtps ........ -o smtpd_tls_cert_file=/ssl/cert1.pem 1.1.1.2:smtps ..... -o smtpd_tls_cert_file=/ssl/cert2.pem and so on

[14:10:35] <PcPixel> I can't seem to get postfix to regenerate a verified senders database. the file location is the same as where the original was, yet it won't appear. what should i check for?
[14:10:43] *** Nockian has quit IRC
[14:18:33] *** ribasushi_ has joined #postfix
[14:20:17] <PcPixel> im trying to write it to /var/spool/postfix/verified_senders.btree

[14:25:08] *** jonez has quit IRC
[14:27:34] <PcPixel> im not finding anything in the logs
[14:27:39] <PcPixel> either that or im grepping for the wrong thing
[14:27:44] <PcPixel> i just made another change to try to fix it
[14:27:53] <PcPixel> i made a new folder: /var/spool/postfix/data
[14:28:00] <PcPixel> chown'd it so its postfix:root
[14:28:06] <PcPixel> 700
[14:28:21] <PcPixel> set data_directory and address_verify_map to that folder
[14:30:07] <PcPixel> one sec, ill try checking the log again
[14:31:58] <PcPixel> hmm. how soon after the system is started should i see an error?
[14:32:55] <rob0> data_directory should be outside spool_directory
[14:34:06] <PcPixel> i can move it
[14:34:18] <PcPixel> but seem slike no matter where i tell it to write the file i just cant get it to recreate it again
[14:34:24] <PcPixel> this wouldnt be because of selinux would it?
[14:34:51] *** ribasushi has quit IRC
[14:37:19] <PcPixel> ok. i moved it to: /var/lib/postfix where postfix is owned by postfix:root and 700

[14:40:15] *** toytoy has quit IRC
[14:41:48] <PcPixel> any other log i should check other than maillog?
[14:56:23] <PcPixel> ugh, why is it people dont understand when i tell them to just ID themselves in the HELO
[15:01:05] <sysmonk> maybe cause SMTP clients/ servers aren't human
[15:01:50] <PcPixel> sysmonk: no they dont read.
[15:01:59] <PcPixel> this one guy is telling me "youre trying to get me to expose my server"
[15:02:03] <PcPixel> um; no. no i am not.
[15:02:04] <sysmonk> yeah, i know smtp servers/clients can't read
[15:02:22] <PcPixel> monk: when did you get here :)
[15:02:36] <cpm> if it's a MX host, then it -by definition- is exposed. Get over it. Sheesh.
[15:02:48] <PcPixel> cpm: no, its an outbound only server
[15:03:09] <PcPixel> cpm: im trying to get him to have it greet me with something that resolves to either an A or MX
[15:03:12] <PcPixel> nothing more.
[15:03:18] <cpm> PcPixel, okay. No worries. It's an outbound only server that he obviously doesn't want folk to accept mail from. No great loss.
[15:03:31] <PcPixel> hehee
[15:03:56] <cpm> by rfc, it has to greet with something that has an A record, which resolves to an address that has a PTR record.
[15:04:16] <PcPixel> cpm: i told him that in my last reply. hes touting "my server meets all rfcs"
[15:04:33] <PcPixel> what i find funnier
[15:04:40] <sysmonk> PcPixel: er, what do you mean 'when did you get here' :)
[15:04:49] <PcPixel> is the anti-spam service they are paying for (3rd party) doesnt even do the check
[15:04:59] <PcPixel> i can connect up with: helo i.don't.exist.at.all
[15:05:04] <PcPixel> and its happy as a clam
[15:05:26] <PcPixel> sysmonk: didnt see you join the room :P

[15:06:33] <sysmonk> i joined somewhere on jul 3

[15:44:27] <dinar> maybe somebody asked students to come here i think
[15:44:42] <Haris1> when I send mail from local network, postfix/smtpd receives it and postfix/cleanup works on it. There's no other activity for outgoing mail. Its not being delivered

[15:52:00] <Haris1> for a basic setup
[15:52:22] <PcPixel> is there a parameter in Postfix for what to use as a server name in the HELO greeting? I'm trying to illustrate a point to someone
[15:52:23] <dinar> there is special debian configuratot
[15:55:21] <Haris1> dinar: You can also bug debian people for that

[16:54:50] <Dominian> use a firewall

[16:55:01] <Dominian> so do rbls

[17:18:52] <Haris1> I added custom rules to spamassassin for one of my customers. It stopped 95+ % of spam
[17:18:59] <lrp> [Dominian] nope
[17:19:11] <Haris1> no need of greylisting if spamassassin is configured properly

[17:19:45] <Dominian> Haris1: I don't relay on SA for everything.. considering spam changes so rapidly.. takes one botnet.. with a new spam.. so kill you ;).. greylisting is just another line of defense

[17:20:01] <lrp> i have reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client safe.dnsbl.sorbs.net, reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org
[17:20:03] <Haris1> well
[17:20:06] <mosez> good to know... so i wont do greylisting but spamassasine and clamav

[17:20:35] <loker> hi everyone
[17:20:37] <magyar_> seekwill, there is no IP address
[17:20:48] <seekwill> magyar: Then how is it "working"?
[17:20:55] <Haris1> with spamassassin, I can combine the score of multiple tests into one that can be devastating to spam
[17:20:56] * pickcoder gets a newly identified source of spam daily
[17:21:01] <mosez> dominian: i think spamassasine and clamav is enough :)
[17:21:05] * Dominian shrugs
[17:21:06] <pickcoder> atleast amavis says so
[17:21:07] <loker> the error message in the log as : Aug  1 18:16:26 localhost postfix/qmgr[28953]: warning: connect to transport spamassassin: Connection refused ; should appear as I try to work with spamassasin right?

[17:21:55] <lrp> im sorry :((
[17:21:57] <lrp> that was not for here
[17:21:59] <lrp> that was from other friend
[17:22:00] <seekwill> chadmaynard is working on this firewall that incorporates the RBLs so it doesn't even hit your MTA
[17:22:03] <Dominian> Haris1: then again.. if you have a monster machine.. everything going through SA makes sense
[17:22:17] <Haris1> 1) dns blacklists 2) spamassassin, then it hits the queue
[17:22:23] <Dominian> seekwill: I saw something like that involving IP tables
[17:22:27] <pickcoder> Dominian: the least amount of crap SA has to deal with the happier your machine will be
[17:22:33] <Dominian> pickcoder: yep
[17:22:37] <seekwill> Dominian: It's not an entirely new idea...
[17:22:43] <Dominian> pickcoder: and I run on a VPS.. so.. the less the better hehe
[17:22:45] <Dominian> seekwill: I know
[17:22:49] <loker> I've commented out the spamassasin option in main.cf but, it still tries to connect to spamassasin it seems...
[17:22:49] <magyar_> seekwill, nslookup returns a proper result with an IP address

[17:22:52] <Dominian> seekwill: doing it in iptables would be nice
[17:22:57] <magyar_> I can ping the host
[17:23:00] <Haris1> iirc, snort does this
[17:23:02] <Dominian> loker: restart postfix
[17:23:04] <Haris1> so does apf and bfd
[17:23:06] <loker> I've did..
[17:23:11] <lrp> [dominian] how them i add to spamlist the other ip that are sending spam ?
[17:23:16] <seekwill> magyar: That doesn't answer my question
[17:23:35] <loker> in postfix logs, I can see that it spawns and then tries to send the queue and give the error with spamassasin
[17:23:35] <Haris1> comming back to my issue
[17:23:41] <Dominian> lrp: If they are still sending to you.. sounds like you need some more smtpd checks in place
[17:23:51] <seekwill> magyar: Can you send to other hosts, like gmail/yahoo?
[17:24:01] <mosez> got to drive home

[17:24:15] <lrp> [Dominian] mm wait a sec
[17:24:29] <mosez> pickcoder: i know ban2fail, but not for postfix...
[17:24:30] <Haris1> I'v seen considerable attacks from hinet.net
[17:24:40] <pickcoder> I have a filter and jail for it
[17:24:45] <Haris1> I'm thinking of configuring iptables to totally filter all traffic from hinet.net
[17:24:46] <pickcoder> it's in most of the recent releases

[17:25:41] <Haris1> How can I check why incomming mail for virtual mailboxes is failing?
[17:25:48] <magyar_> seekwill, I can send no problems, its when I "transport" to "rbmx" it fails with the above error
[17:25:52] <loker> what should i check? nay ideas?
[17:26:03] <lrp> [Dominian] check there http://rafb.net/p/KokpmE89.html

[17:32:50] <seekwill> All the headers?
[17:32:56] <pickcoder> no.. just selected ones
[17:33:08] <pickcoder> need to make the header selection configurable

[17:34:47] <seekwill> yeah

[17:48:13] <loker> they are queued
[17:48:53] *** sophokles has joined #postfix
[17:49:02] <loker> when the postfix starts, it tries to send the queued messages and prints error of warning: connect to transport spamassassin: Connection refused
[17:49:22] <loker> and then mail transport unavailable
[17:49:23] <pickcoder> loker: requeue them
[17:49:28] <pickcoder> you removed the transport
[17:49:33] <loker> hmm
[17:49:35] <pickcoder> but the queue retains the paths

[17:50:43] <seekwill> Testing? Something for production?
[17:50:54] <magyar_> seekwill, i have a postfix mailgateway that "transport" the mail to a mail server
[17:50:56] * pickcoder sends mail to LAN
[17:51:10] <seekwill> Why do you say "transport"?
[17:51:11] <pickcoder> magyar_: I have a similar setup
[17:51:14] <loker> ok that one is solved, thank you very much...
[17:51:21] <pickcoder> the gateway is on the public node

[17:55:41] <sysmonk> and smarthost when you're forwarding to postfix
[17:55:53] <magyar_> seekwill, I made it work with transport, I belive it will be the same issue with relayhost. I had to place fqdn in the file to make it work, as "dig rbmx" fails, but "dig rbmx.int.mydomain.com" works fine
[17:56:28] <seekwill> Using relayhost, you can put in the IP address, and it won't do any DNS lookups
[17:57:10] <sysmonk> seekwill: you can do that with transport to...

[18:48:19] <dinar> the second i write in dpkg reconfigure:
[18:48:26] <Preytell> I cannot find ANY documentation that says this does work. Do you have to specify each user, can you not just use the @domain?
[18:48:29] <dinar> domain.dom.

[18:50:48] <Preytell> I need to just forward the messages to another localhost MTA running on another port.

[18:52:25] <dinar>  ? rejected rather than relayed."
[18:52:31] <sysmonk> dinar: DO NOT paste here
[18:52:33] <sysmonk> use a pastebin
[18:52:58] <dinar> " To use the postfix default (which is based on the connected subnets), leave this blank."
[18:53:02] <Preytell> that will forward to a single address, so that all mail is sent to foo at domain dot com as a bcc, but I need to just forward the message as if it were queued for external delivery, not forwarded to a single user on the other MTA.

[18:55:32] <sysmonk> do you like when somebody comes to you and shouts so loud that you don't want to listen?
[18:55:39] <sysmonk> we don't want to read your pastebins too..
[18:55:47] <sysmonk> er, pastes*
[18:55:55] <dinar> 89.232.85.48/32
[18:56:02] <sysmonk> use a pastebin and just give a link to it, if anyone will want to see he'll go and read it
[18:56:12] <dinar> is this correct?
[18:56:30] <dinar> or 89.232.85.48 is better?
[18:57:05] <dinar> what does mean 127.0.0.0/8 ? why it is not just 127.0.0.1 ?
[18:57:37] <Haris> Ok
[18:57:48] <Haris> I have mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, plus more in here

[18:58:16] <Haris> I mean outgoing mail
[18:58:23] <sysmonk> Haris: define 'not working'
[18:58:23] <dinar> i do not know what it is.
[18:58:26] <Preytell> I am an Exim user, so postfix is not in my comfort zone, but in Exim I would just setup an "unseen" delivery which would queue a copy of the message to another smarthost, then continue with the normal delivery. I need to do that in postfix.
[18:58:28] <Haris> no mail is goin gout
[18:58:32] <Haris> going+
[18:59:02] <dinar> Yes
[18:59:22] <Haris> The last time this happened, we found, that 127.0.0.0/8 was not in mynetworks

[19:02:28] <dinar> past bin has some disadvantages
[19:02:31] <Preytell> That way all messages in and out would get a copy of messages queued to the other smarthost, which would process the message however it is configured to do so. In this case it is going to stuff a bunch of information in a database and then /dev/null the delivery.

[19:03:52] <Preytell> seems very hard to do.
[19:04:05] <sysmonk> Preytell: what info do you need to know about the mail ?
[19:04:18] <sysmonk> maybe you could get that in some other way
[19:04:48] <dinar> then: which protocols to use: all/ipv6/ipv4. i select ipv4.

[19:07:45] <Haris> should I only paste the 3 lines for the mail I sent out?
[19:08:25] <Preytell> I have a customer that says his messages are just vanishing....right.... and that attachments are not making it to the server. Postfix logs say otherwise, but I am going to forward the messages through a script that will log start of delivery time, end of delivery time, full stats on the attachments, and sender info.

[19:09:56] <Preytell> he is stating that messages take up to two hours to deliver, logs show that the messages are delivered in 1m48s, I tell him that there is some ISP magic going on, but of course his ISP denies doing anything to the messages, his ISP is AT&T....Like I believe that.
[19:10:35] <sysmonk> Preytell: simple
[19:10:42] <sysmonk> Preytell: ask him to give the mail headers
[19:10:47] <sysmonk> everything will be shown there
[19:11:01] <sysmonk> and the thing you want to do won't help
[19:11:08] <sysmonk> you won't get the start / end of delivery from that

[19:23:26] <Preytell> yeah, you see this event is "random" and he does not understand why the logs show one thing while reality shows another.
[19:23:30] <sysmonk> try posting 25 lines
[19:23:53] <sysmonk> Preytell: does he know atleast one mail that took a few hours to deliver
[19:24:06] <sysmonk> can he send you the headers of that mail?
[19:24:28] <sysmonk> you'll be able to track the problem by looking at the received headers
[19:24:34] <Preytell> Yeah, he sent the headers, that is the messages that took 1m48s from the time his server hit the MTA until the time the message was written to the mailstore.
[19:24:43] <Preytell> But again, the logs are wrong....
[19:24:46] <Preytell> in his eyes.
[19:24:47] <sysmonk> ?
[19:25:01] <sysmonk> that's NOT the logs, that's the headers he got from _his_ ISP
[19:25:12] <sysmonk> can you publish the headers somewhere ?
[19:31:04] <Preytell> no, they are in their quiet period before IPO.  This guy is a big pain in my a**.  He refuses to see that nothing is wrong, we cannot duplicate any of the errors that he reports, and by the logs he has never lost a message. He has sent in at least 30 header files and we traced all of them through the logs, and into either a rule on his inbox, or in a folder in his inbox....

[19:51:52] <rob0> There's a whole lot you have to understand. Mostly, you need to know what MIME is. Then you'll begin to figure out why body_checks can't always do that.
[19:53:02] <seekwill> Why do you want to remove it? It contains very valuable information for the reader.
[19:53:15] <pickcoder> hrm.. GIF->PS looks kinda horrid
[19:53:32] <seekwill> heh
[19:53:37] <seekwill> People still use GIF?
[19:53:39] <devaudio> well I assume you are being sarcastic, but I want to remove it because we have our postfix server as a email gateway to SMS
[19:54:03] <devaudio> and now a 1 line email "page" becomes a 10 part SMS message because of the very large disclaimer at the end
[19:54:22] <devaudio> I don't have control over the mail server adding the disclaimer, only the email <--> SMS one
[19:54:29] <pickcoder> it was easy to add so I added it
[19:55:19] <pickcoder> mail2pdf now supports TXT/HTML/PDF/GIF/JPG/TIFF/BMP/PNG based on a few command line tools and Perl modules
[19:55:20] <seekwill> devaudio: How are you going from email to SMS?
[19:55:30] <seekwill> pickcoder: You going to release this script GPL? :)
[19:55:30] <pickcoder> we'll give it a test run here and see how it does
[19:55:32] <rob0> oh you mean YOU are adding the stupid disclaimer?
[19:55:38] <devaudio> no I am not adding it
[19:55:40] <pickcoder> seekwill: I'm not sure.. I'll have to get permission
[19:55:45] <rob0> who does?
[19:55:46] <seekwill> pickcoder: Ah
[19:56:00] <roe_> better to beg forgivenss than to ask permission?
[19:56:14] <seekwill> devaudio: What about those stupid ad's from yahoo.com?
[19:56:19] <pickcoder> roe_: heh.. if it were that simple
[19:56:37] <pickcoder> I've released code snippets to public domain
[19:56:45] <seekwill> pickcoder: You must be on the clock right now ;)
[19:56:48] <pickcoder> but they weren't week-long projects
[19:56:53] * pickcoder is
[19:56:53] <devaudio> I am not speaking clearly on the way it goes --    this machien is the MX record for   domain.com , which then we make aliases to 123456782 at txt dot att.com from  pageuser at domain dot com
[19:57:28] <devaudio> our official email is someotherdomain.com, which we use to send emails to pageuser at domain dot com
[19:58:00] <seekwill> Luckily, Verizon's TXT's just cuts it off after 160chars...
[19:58:13] <seekwill> You must have an iphone...
[19:58:23] <rob0> Southwest Media Group Inc. of Henderson, NV, USA
[19:58:34] <devaudio> me? naw no one here has an iphone
[19:58:42] <sysmonk> devaudio: and you're passing teh whole mail to your sms gateway ?
[19:58:45] <devaudio> but att includes the whole thing as an 8-10 part SMS messages
[19:59:03] <devaudio> well I misspoke, there is no SMS gateway, it just emails to txt.att.com which is the actual SMS gateway
[19:59:04] <sysmonk> devaudio: i strip it to first ~130 chars, that's all
[19:59:13] <devaudio> first ~160
[19:59:16] <devaudio> that would work as well
[19:59:32] <sysmonk> devaudio: then pipe it to a command which gets only the first 160 chars
[19:59:36] <sysmonk> and sends it to txt.att.com
[20:00:01] <sysmonk> a simple perl script would do that
[20:00:07] <devaudio> but then, the problem with that is if they want the real message to be 185 chars, I would want 185 chars
[20:00:15] <devaudio> just not all the cruft after that
[20:00:23] <seekwill> How do you know what the real part of the message is?
[20:00:28] <seekwill> What if the message was in html?
[20:00:33] <sysmonk> devaudio: so make it 185 chars
[20:00:35] <devaudio> well the disclaimer is always at the end, not in html
[20:00:46] <seekwill> Are you sure?
[20:00:48] <devaudio> yep
[20:01:00] <seekwill> Is it a static disclaimer?
[20:01:03] <devaudio> yep
[20:01:06] <devaudio> it is static
[20:01:06] <seekwill> Like, only from one company?
[20:01:13] <seekwill> Then just have the perl script filter that part out
[20:01:47] <devaudio> $body =~ s/This(.*?)printout\.//sgm;
[20:01:49] <devaudio> that filters it
[20:01:53] <devaudio> what I guess I am asking is
[20:02:02] <devaudio> how do I tell postfix
[20:02:09] <devaudio> to run that perl script on messages then
[20:02:47] <sysmonk> pipe it, and then inject it back to the queue
[20:02:49] <sysmonk> !pipe
[20:02:50] <knoba> sysmonk: Error: "pipe" is not a valid command.
[20:02:54] * sysmonk fails
[20:03:02] <pickcoder> devaudio: is it being delivered to a local mailbox?
[20:03:13] <devaudio> no it's just in /etc/mail/aliases
[20:03:39] <pickcoder> so it's an alias.. or it's a mail pipe
[20:03:56] <devaudio> pagedan:                3158675309 at txt dot att.net
[20:04:05] <sysmonk> hah, we know the addie now
[20:04:05] <pickcoder> alias
[20:04:06] <devaudio> that's the line in /etc/mail/aliases

[22:04:35] <adaptr> sysmonk: what is wrong with it ?
[22:05:05] <adaptr> if any of those 50K mboxen are used at all regularly, you'd better have that DB on 14-disk SAN storage...
[22:05:12] <sysmonk> adaptr: sometimes there's problems with forwards/aliasses
[22:05:14] <adaptr> if not, you will obviously complain that it's slow
[22:05:27] <sysmonk> adaptr: that's why i said 100k+ half a year ago
[22:05:39] <sysmonk> from 100+k ~50k are actually used
[22:05:50] <sysmonk> we've destroyed the other ~50k
[22:06:11] <adaptr> so it IS on SAN storage ?
[22:06:22] <sysmonk> adaptr: nope, it's not
[22:06:25] <seekwill> adaptr: Does dbmail store each attachment as a file? Does it break out the html and text mime types?

[22:12:02] <seekwill> ...
[22:12:30] <seekwill> If an email has multiple attachments, it'll store each attachment seperately?
[22:12:42] <seekwill> Sorry, I'm a n00b!
[22:13:00] <sysmonk> seekwill: first of all, did you get the part that there's no files on the filesystem? there are only database tables
[22:13:01] <adaptr> that's the nature of SQL, yes
[22:13:11] <adaptr> sysmonk: I think he got it now
[22:13:12] <seekwill> sysmonk: Yep
[22:13:16] <sysmonk> k, good
[22:13:26] <jelly> and where is the database stored, huh??
[22:13:28] <sysmonk> i can give you table descriptions if ya want
[22:13:35] <seekwill> sysmonk: That would be awesome
[22:13:36] <sysmonk> but you'll be able to find them at dbmail website anyway
[22:13:48] *** shinao1 has quit IRC
[22:13:54] <seekwill> Ah, I think I found it... wiki
[22:14:12] <adaptr> jelly: MEMORY engine
[22:14:12] <sysmonk> k, good, i'd be lazy to describe em all :P
[22:14:16] <sysmonk> adaptr: hah :)
[22:14:22] <jelly> adaptr: durn!
[22:14:41] <adaptr> I'll change it to TMPFS if that makes you more happier
[22:14:48] <sysmonk> hehe
[22:14:52] <sysmonk> yeah, tmpfs is better
[22:14:59] <sysmonk> atleast you could store fulltext there :P
[22:15:09] <adaptr> no FTI on a memory table ?
[22:15:12] <adaptr> bummerz
[22:15:13] <jelly> does it do deduping?
[22:15:27] <adaptr> dewhut ?
[22:15:31] <sysmonk> MEMORY has some limitations as to size and some fields afair
[22:15:53] <jelly> adaptr: storing identical messages (or attachments) only once
[22:15:56] *** ChrisC35 has joined #postfix

[22:16:20] <jelly> "dupe" over here
[22:16:27] <sysmonk> jelly: heh
[22:16:32] <sysmonk> jelly: afair yes
[22:16:41] <sysmonk> jelly: it stores messages in 'messageblocks'
[22:16:49] <sysmonk> and then it references messages to the messageblocks
[22:16:56] <jelly> *mumble*wannabe exchange killer*grumble*
[22:17:11] <adaptr> pfft.. *netcat* is an exchange killer
[22:17:17] <adaptr> easily
[22:17:18] <sysmonk> netcat is a virus!

[22:17:36] <ChrisC35> Hi. I'm now getting many mails in my queue with this subject: delivery temporarily suspended: host f.mx.mail.yahoo.com[68.142.202.247] refused to talk to me: 421 4.7.0 [TS01] Messages from 64.15.152.219 temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/421-ts01.html. Is it people hitting report as spam? or could it be something else? All the emails are opted in (ie they manually signed up)
[22:17:53] <seekwill> Dominian: :P
[22:17:59] * sysmonk tries to remember how cyrus calls the 'deduping'
[22:18:01] <pickcoder> ChrisC35: wait a few hours
[22:18:09] <pickcoder> welcome to Yahell
[22:18:10] <ChrisC35> or could it be that I havent processed bounces yet and removed invalid emails, and yahoo servers are not liking the invalid emails
[22:18:11] <adaptr> ChrisC35: complain to yoohoo
[22:18:11] <jelly> ChrisC35: it's either that or yahoo is lying to you?
[22:18:24] <seekwill> ChrisC35: postmaster at yahoo dot com
[22:18:28] <adaptr> ChrisC35: there have been MANY reports of yoohoo blocking accounts and IPs for no reason
[22:18:35] <seekwill> No reason?
[22:18:39] <adaptr> less for google, but also
[22:18:42] <seekwill> There's a good reason!
[22:18:43] <adaptr> yes, NO reason
[22:18:46] <pickcoder> they'll just say "wait 30mins to an hour" if it's still being rejected, contact us again
[22:19:15] <ChrisC35> ok thanks i'll wait to see if they get resent
[22:19:19] <adaptr> come ON seekwill , it's *Disney* we're dealing with here
[22:19:25] <adaptr> evil incarnate
[22:19:29] <pickcoder> ChrisC35: it's not permanent.. a slight increase on traffic from one IP will trigger it
[22:19:53] <pickcoder> increase == lots of mail going in short time frame
[22:19:56] <seekwill> Disney?
[22:20:07] <ChrisC35> am I sending the emails too quickly then?
[22:20:18] <sysmonk> ah, here it is
[22:20:18] <pickcoder> ChrisC35: you can't send them slow enough...
[22:20:26] <sysmonk> it's called singleinstancestore in cyrus
[22:20:28] <pickcoder> it's going to happen if it's bulk mail of any level
[22:20:33] <pickcoder> or high traffic
[22:20:33] <seekwill> adaptr: dbmail seems more complicated than I'd want... :P
[22:20:34] <sysmonk> single instance store that is
[22:20:48] <seekwill> pickcoder: Legit bulk mailers know the backdoor
[22:20:58] <pickcoder> well they wouldn't tell me
[22:21:08] <seekwill> It's a secret!
[22:21:09] <pickcoder> I send a newsletter twice a month for opt-ins
[22:21:15] <adaptr> seekwill: I set it up in an hour or so
[22:21:33] <seekwill> adaptr: Yeah, but it might take me a lot longer to integrate that
[22:21:53] <seekwill> Take me another hour to understand the schema
[22:22:26] <ChrisC35> should I be staggering the sends per domain?
[22:22:32] <seekwill> Of course, installing it, might be easier to look in PHPMYADMIN instead of erd
[22:22:53] <ChrisC35> i guess i'm just sending too fast. My new server is super fast
[22:22:55] <seekwill> ChrisC35: You'll be fine. Just leave it for a while, and send a friendly note to postmaster at yahoo dot com
[22:23:13] <seekwill> ChrisC35: You are sending faster than your reputation will allow. Are you following good practices?
[22:23:13] <pickcoder> ChrisC35: there's not much you can do unless your mailer will trottle by message
[22:23:20] <sysmonk> don't forget to mention in the note that yahoo stocks suck
[22:23:21] <sysmonk> ;))
[22:23:37] <ChrisC35> well I thought I was following good practices
[22:23:38] <adaptr> seekwill: you are going to need to alter the schema ?
[22:23:46] <seekwill> adaptr: Not sure
[22:23:47] <pickcoder> seekwill: we've been following "good practices" for years and it doesn't matter
[22:23:47] <ChrisC35> but I may be unaware of some technical issues
[22:23:57] <pickcoder> I've contacted them several times
[22:23:57] <seekwill> pickcoder: Apparently not :) I'm on their good list
[22:24:11] <seekwill> pickcoder: Hire a delivery consultant
[22:24:18] *** pitakill has joined #postfix
[22:24:19] <ChrisC35> my mailer sends 4000 mails at a time then pauses a few minutes
[22:24:24] <sysmonk> seekwill: what and how much you'll be storing?
[22:24:25] *** pitakill has quit IRC
[22:24:39] <seekwill> sysmonk: gigs
[22:24:51] <seekwill> Because I'm storing photos
[22:24:52] <pickcoder> seekwill: it's the users who opt-in and then click " this is spam"
[22:24:52] <sysmonk> seekwill: suuure, but how much of them ;)
[22:24:53] <ChrisC35> good practices in relation to what?
[22:25:06] <adaptr> luser LARTing
[22:25:07] <seekwill> pickcoder: Oh yeah, that sucks
[22:25:16] <adaptr> there's such a thing as netiquette, you know
[22:25:18] <pickcoder> we have no control over idiotic users
[22:25:37] <ChrisC35> the thing I can think of is that this customers insists on sending an email that is a big image. If a user doesn't notice the subject (the store theyu signed up to) and sees teh email with the image blocked, they might think its spam
[22:25:50] <pickcoder> s/might/will
[22:26:07] <sysmonk> seekwill: how much gigs?
[22:26:10] <ChrisC35> or maybe its the fact that I havent coded in bounce cleanup yet - and so there are a bunch of invalid emails
[22:26:27] *** Grufft3ch has joined #postfix
[22:26:29] <sysmonk> bouncy bouncy bouncy ;P
[22:26:37] <pickcoder> that's my next project
[22:26:37] <sysmonk> our exchange guys are mad at me
[22:26:38] <seekwill> pickcoder: Well, I think it also depends on what you do, like if you send mail to them again. You should sign up for their feedback loop
[22:26:41] <pickcoder> automated bounce cleanup
[22:26:45] <Grufft3ch> Whats decent Mailling list software that works with Postfix?
[22:26:53] <pickcoder> seekwill: they didn't offer one or even tell me there was one
[22:26:53] <seekwill> sysmonk: No idea yet... Still working out the idea
[22:26:56] <pickcoder> I'm on AOL's FBL
[22:27:00] <seekwill> pickcoder: Now you know :)
[22:27:06] <sysmonk> cause our helpdesk try to mail ~20 thousands notification emails to our clients with bad addresses
[22:27:11] <sysmonk> and exchange relays everything to postfix
[22:27:41] <adaptr> "help"desk indeed
[22:27:44] <Dominian> seekwill: bah.. if its greylisting.. why does it ONLy happen every so often? :P
[22:28:03] <seekwill> pickcoder: www.wordtothewise.com :)
[22:28:05] <ChrisC35> Grufft3ch i coded my own its not that hard
[22:28:06] <sysmonk> and postfix check for reject_unknown_recipient_domain
[22:28:07] <seekwill> Dominian: Just messing with you :)
[22:28:09] <Dominian> hehe
[22:28:15] <sysmonk> and gives a temp fail to exchange on failure
[22:28:19] <seekwill> Dominian: WHenever I see greylist, I'm going to ping you
[22:28:39] <sysmonk> and exchange sucks, and it slows down the quuee awfully, and emails are slooooowllly delivered :)
[22:29:05] <sysmonk> seekwill: but are we talking bout 1-20 gigs or 100+ gigs?
[22:29:12] <seekwill> sysmonk: 20?
[22:29:18] <sysmonk> ah, then no problem :)
[22:29:19] <seekwill> I might purge the old stuff..
[22:29:31] <seekwill> Since they are images, resize them if need be
[22:29:37] <seekwill> ah
[22:30:30] <pickcoder> seekwill: I'll bring that up with management next week
[22:30:42] <seekwill> :)
[22:30:55] <sysmonk> bring what ? :)

[22:32:40] <adaptr> "nor glom of nit"

[22:34:33] <seekwill> Go ahead :)
[22:34:39] <jelly> or send mail to your abuse!
[22:34:47] <seekwill> My email address is billg at microsoft dot com
[22:34:57] <seekwill> jelly: Dude, that's just mean.
[22:34:57] <sysmonk> seekwill: doh, that one is my
[22:35:05] <sysmonk> yours is ballmer at microsoft dot com
[22:35:09] <seekwill> oh
[22:35:13] <seekwill> Sorry, I forgot
[22:35:20] <seekwill> jelly: Same goes with postmaster@
[22:35:36] * jelly doesn't even read his postmaster@ really
[22:35:44] <seekwill> heh, so you know when you fill out those stupid webforms where they require a legit email... I put in abuse at <theirdomain> dot .. :)
[22:35:53] <sysmonk> unsucessfully, but i do read mine ;/
[22:35:58] <sysmonk> not all the mails, but ... still...
[22:36:13] <jelly> if "checking the inbox every month" is reading...
[22:36:46] *** Grufft3ch has quit IRC
[22:36:46] <sysmonk> jelly: sadly enough postmaster@ alias -> myemail@ ...
[22:37:02] <sysmonk> and i check my email more often than once every month :P
[22:37:07] <seekwill> I have abuse@ and postmaster@ aliased to sa@, where all my other sysadmin mails go to
[22:37:14] * pickcoder never gets mail from postmaster
[22:37:43] <pickcoder> or abuse
[22:38:15] <seekwill> pickcoder: How much mail do you push out per newsletter?
[22:38:33] <Dominian> seekwill: hahah :P
[22:39:14] <seekwill> :P
[22:39:19] <sysmonk> i'm getting too much mails to my 'sysadmin' alias
[22:39:47] <sysmonk> i'm thinking of changing those to blah+daily, blah+monthly blah+crontab and etc
[22:39:57] <sysmonk> just to have more cleaner mailbox
[22:40:03] <seekwill> nice
[22:42:17] <jelly> I wonder whether our abuse people would like to have something like a www.wordtothewise.com product
[22:42:56] <seekwill> I think it's usually marketing who pushes for those kinds of services.. "we need our emails delivered to the inbox!"
[22:43:18] <jelly> fo sho
[22:43:25] <Trengo> yeah? they ask me to check who *read* the goddamn newsletter
[22:44:26] <sysmonk> Trengo: so, take the phonebook and call them all and ask them
[22:44:42] <seekwill> heh
[22:44:43] <sysmonk> in the end, send your managment teh phonebill :P
[22:44:47] <Trengo> sysmonk sure, when i get paid to do it
[22:44:54] <jelly> step 1: install trojans in customers machines
[22:44:54] <sysmonk> maybe they won't want you to do that anymore...
[22:44:55] <sysmonk> ;)
[22:44:57] <seekwill> Trengo: Hmm... I think Goodmail might be able to provide you with that info
[22:45:17] <seekwill> Though that's a bit... stalkerish, no?
[22:45:38] <Trengo> its cheaper to find someone to deliver the newsletter by hand and force the recipient to read it
[22:45:42] <jelly> step 2: do an extensive study of keyboard/mouse timings for actually read messages
[22:46:02] <seekwill> Or, give out a newsletter people want to read! haha j/k
[22:46:12] <Trengo> Marta (marketing) is worried she got no questions after last newsletter was out
[22:46:21] <Trengo> they dont
[22:46:21] <sysmonk> jelly: step 3: pass all teh security of all the major MUA's to allow that javascript
[22:46:23] <jelly> Trengo: oh noes!
[22:46:35] <seekwill> Her newsletter is too well written, didn't need any questions!
[22:46:38] <sysmonk> Trengo: i can ask her the question :P
[22:46:43] <Trengo> i hate it, i get 4 copies at least
[22:46:52] <sysmonk> hah
[22:47:00] <jelly> sysmonk: javascript?  the study will also use the trojans from step 1!
[22:47:08] <sysmonk> Trengo: ask for a paper version, atleast you won't need to buy toilet paper :P
[22:47:38] <Trengo> never
[22:47:46] <Trengo> they use waxed paper
[22:48:02] <sysmonk> eeewww
[22:48:14] <Trengo> lol
[22:48:17] <sysmonk> Trengo: another idea - ask them to fax you the newsletter
[22:48:25] <sysmonk> fax paper is nice for your ass ;)
[22:48:38] <Trengo> you'd think
[22:48:51] <Trengo> faxes are emailed as pdfs
[22:49:11] <sysmonk> yeah, that sucks
[22:49:17] <Trengo> i never tried wiping with a pdf
[22:49:18] <sysmonk> but you can | lpr them
[22:49:25] <Trengo> windows
[22:49:33] <Trengo> i suffer too much :(
[22:49:40] <sysmonk> Trengo: you can write them to a cd and try to wipe with a cd
[22:49:52] <sysmonk> although a floppy disk would be nicer
[22:49:58] <sysmonk> but you'd need many of those
[22:50:07] <Trengo> god no
