[01:41:01] <rob0> Jake, timeouts? Is any mail going out at all? Are you on a business-class/static or consumer/dynamic IP connection?
[01:41:17] <rob0> sounds like the ISP blocking SMTP out.
[01:41:50] <jakehilton> when I send email to a user it get's delivered.. but when I use that mail client to respond or send a new email it times out..
[01:42:11] <jakehilton> postfix/smtpd[29391]: timeout after UNKNOWN from unknown
[01:42:26] <jakehilton> I get a connect from unknown.. and then a disconnect
[01:42:56] <jakehilton> so the mail client is connecting back to the smtpd but seems something is amiss
[01:43:42] <jakehilton> of course.. if I try to connect to the smtp server w/o authentication.. I get a relayed denied
[01:43:51] <jakehilton> but when I try with auth I get these wierd issues
[01:44:13] <jakehilton> but just on sending email through .. no recieving
[01:46:50] <rob0> smtpd is inbound
[01:46:56] <jakehilton> correct
[01:47:27] <rob0> oh this sounds like maybe a braindead proxy upstream
[01:47:32] <rob0> !cisco_pix
[01:47:33] <knoba> rob0: "cisco_pix" : The Cisco PIX firewall has a SMTP proxy feature which breaks ESMTP. If your Postfix server is behind such a firewall you should disable the SMTP Fixup feature.
[01:47:53] <rob0> !relay_denied
[01:47:53] <knoba> rob0: "relay_denied" : \"554 5.7.1 <RECIPIENT@RCPT_DOMAIN>: Relay access denied; from=<SENDER_ADDRESS> to=<RECIPIENT@RCPT_DOMAIN> proto=ESMTP helo=<HELO>\": This typically means that CLIENT_IP is not in mynetworks (and did not AUTH), and that RCPT_DOMAIN was not recognized as one of this Postfix's domains (not listed in mydestination, relay_domains or virtual_*_domains).
[01:48:25] <rob0> AUTH requires ESMTP.
[01:49:09] <jakehilton> everything is working except for sending email via smtp... so it sounds like I should try that first option.. disabling the SMTP Fixup feature..
[01:49:22] <rob0> indeed
[01:49:23] <jakehilton> that just in the postfix conf files?
[01:49:28] <rob0> huh
[01:51:58] <rob0> Postfix has no control over what is placed upstream. DO you have a PIX? If so, take it up with Cisco support.
[01:52:02] *** meteoroid has joined #postfix
[01:52:17] <rob0> what's the IP or hostname?
[01:53:36] <jakehilton> 209.90.89.188
[01:54:38] <rob0> no PIX, EHLO worked for me
[01:54:48] <jakehilton> I saw you connect and disconnect
[01:54:51] <jakehilton> so .. yea..
[01:54:58] <jakehilton> hmmm
[01:56:23] <jakehilton> you can see your connection and mine..

[01:56:25] <jakehilton> Aug 18 17:55:44 dat01 postfix/smtpd[6525]: disconnect from unknown[208.53.47.147]
[01:56:44] <rob0> 208.53.47.147 is yours?
[01:56:50] <jakehilton> yup
[01:57:11] <jakehilton> so it seems that the connection is lost after EHLO .. for whatever reason
[01:57:33] <rob0> could be a proxy on THAT end
[01:57:47] <rob0> some ISPs do that on port 25
[01:57:49] <jakehilton> I don't have any proxies between me and the server
[01:57:57] <rob0> did you set up submission?
[01:58:15] <rob0> nope
[01:58:18] <jakehilton> nope..
[01:58:18] <jakehilton> yea
[01:59:04] <rob0> won't take long, just uncomment the example in master.cf, stop and start.
[02:00:47] <meteoroid> is it possible to route mail for a given domain out a given ip, so that it matches with reverse dns?
[02:03:55] <jakehilton> @rob .. done.. but still no dice
[02:04:45] <archangel7863> quick question since I am not too familiar with postfix. How can I add a username and password to postfix. That is to say how can I create a new email account?

[04:18:58] <snadge> they're all .sbl.spamhaus.org .. and i know it has something to do with the RBL stuff (quite obviously)
[04:19:08] <snadge> just wondering if this is normal?
[04:23:38] <snadge> eg.. if the domain name is not found in the spamhaus.org dns, then its not spam according to them? .. or it means theres a failure using spamhaus to look up DNS period? (and i should then disable this to save overhead)

[15:45:45] <Meliorator> i know this channel is dedicated to postfix ... but ... nobody in the support channels for my distro are able to help with courier-imap ... is it ok for me to ask questions about it here (in the hope that alot of postfix users, also use it) ?
[15:46:09] <Meliorator> (i am using postfix, aswell)
[15:46:57] <Meliorator> i guess i'll ask and expect to be kicked if i'm not allowed

[15:49:19] <rob0> IME of hanging out in #courier, you probably won't get an answer at all. :)
[15:50:26] <rob0> Your best strategy is to prepare a good pastebin which describes your issue, then you can ask the same thing in multiple places without pissing everyone off.

[15:55:51] <Meliorator> i'm getting "Unable to connect to IMAP" in my client, when i try to browse folders in courier-imap. i'm using courier-imapd-ssl which is running/listening. i can't find any log files to further diagnose though ... ?
[15:56:09] <Meliorator> er by browse folders, i mean connect to the imap at all
[15:57:50] <rob0> Be methodical. Check DNS. Check the network connectivity (telnet/nc to the port.)
[15:58:06] <f3ew> firewall issues?
[15:59:04] <Meliorator> ok, to explain a little about the setup ... the server running the imap is local to the machine i am connecting from. both are in an ip range of 192.168
[15:59:29] <Meliorator> the ip use to connect to the imap is a local one, so dns or wever should be no issue

[16:27:19] <rob0> sounds like backscatter, don't accept mail that you can't deliver.
[16:27:33] <rob0> !address_classes
[16:27:34] <knoba> rob0: "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.
[16:27:56] <Meliorator> Captain: using thunderbird, i get the error "Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server. If so, use the Advanced IMAP Server Settings dialogue to reduce the number of cached connections.". I did what it suggested and changed the number of cached IMAP connections to 0 (it was set to 1) and to a few different values above that 3,5,10
[16:28:01] <Meliorator> *,100
[16:28:07] <rob0> ^^ tells how to set up proper recipient validation for whatever class[es] you use
[16:28:23] <Dominian> Meliorator: that wouldn't be a postfix problem...
[16:28:45] <Meliorator> Dominian: i'm aware of that
[16:28:50] <rob0> Yeah, he knows that :)
[16:28:51] <Captain> F'Meliorator: you must increase the max-imap-connections from tb, not from courier
[16:29:12] <Dominian> ah
[16:29:16] <Dominian> I missed the rest of the conversation.
[16:29:24] *** xpoint has joined #postfix
[16:29:36] <Captain> but you can set "IMAPDEBUGFILE=imapdebug.txt" in the imapd-config-file (that create a this file in the mailbox from the user)
[16:32:00] <Captain> F'Meliorator: http://kb.mozillazine.org/IMAP:_advanced_account_configuration
[16:36:21] <lunaphyte_> i really wish thunderbird had an option to hide messages marked for deletion.
[16:36:44] <Captain> it does ;)

[16:38:10] <lunaphyte_> yeah.....
[16:38:10] <cpbills> is there anyway to reject mail using header checks, etc, without, in the reject code, displaying the criteria upon which the mail was rejected?
[16:39:07] <Meliorator> Captain: the only thing relevant there is "Maximum number of server connections to cache", which i have set to 1 (the "safest" value). it doesn't appear to be a client side issue however, as when i run `openssl s_client -connect server:993` i do not get a reply header from courier-imapd-ssl

[16:41:24] <zupb> hi, guys. I'm begginer in postfix. How i can make account for user to Postfix? :)
[16:42:30] <Captain> http://www.howtoforge.com/sitemap/email/postfix
[16:43:48] <cpbills> like... when an email is rejected based on the header 'X-Mailer: StreamSend......' it will print 'reject: header From: "criteria used to block you!"' ... is that local only?
[16:45:50] <f3ew> It also goes in the bounce
[16:49:20] *** xemacs has quit IRC
[16:49:28] *** gonewestcoast has quit IRC
[16:49:42] <cpbills> f3ew: so how can i keep spammers from learning what i use to block them?
[16:51:03] <f3ew> cpbills, use a more generic reject message?
[16:51:33] <f3ew>  /^X-Mailer: StreamSend/     REJECT Spam spoor 1 detected
[16:51:57] <cpbills> f3ew: my line in header-checks.pcre is '/^X-Mailer: StreamSend/  REJECT spam' ... postfix ADDS the itemization
[16:52:13] <f3ew> that's only in the logs
[16:52:25] <cpbills> ok, good, thank you :)
[16:55:48] <cpbills> does postfix need to be reloaded after changes to a regexp or pcre file?
[16:56:08] <f3ew> yes
[16:56:16] <cpbills> ok

[17:24:16] <rob0> cpbills, do you suppose spammers read your error messages? In most cases it would be impossible, since communication with a zombie is mostly unidirectional. They probably have no means to return their rejections to the mother ship.
[17:24:26] <rob0> !cheatsheet
[17:24:26] <knoba> rob0: "cheatsheet" : http://jimsun.linxnet.com/misc/postfix-anti-UCE.txt : A HOWTO for pre-DATA spam control.
[17:24:51] <rob0> You're wasting your time to try to come up with header checks which will make a difference.
[17:25:31] <cpbills> rob0: right, but on the off chance they had something set up, and it was common behavior... i don't want to help in tipping them off... but as f3ew said and i proved to myself with a simple test, the matching reject is not relayed via error message
[17:26:03] <f3ew> cpbills no
[17:26:12] <cpbills> rob0: somehow we got on quite a few mailing lists who stay standardized in their headers... i don't want to 'unsubscribe' i just want to ignore them.
[17:26:23] <rob0> but your rejections SHOULD provide information in case they block a real sender.
[17:27:12] <cpbills> rob0: and they do, in logs

[18:22:56] <enzo> any idea ?
[18:26:21] <lunaphyte_> what does postconf -m say?
[18:27:14] <lunaphyte_> you probably need to install the postfix-mysql package.
[18:28:00] <enzo> there is mysql in postconf -m lunaphyte_
[18:28:11] <lunaphyte_> oh?
[18:28:13] <enzo> yes i have postfix-mysql
[18:29:00] <lunaphyte_> sorry, i'm only half paying attention.

[18:30:02] <lunaphyte_> do you get that log entry when you start postfix, or only during the process of doing the debian upgrade?
[18:30:17] <enzo> only during debian upgrade
[18:30:37] <lunaphyte_> i would just ignore it then.
[18:30:48] <enzo> well no, postfix can't run now

[23:16:20] <pickcoder> n8rrv: mailq shows deferrals?

[23:41:21] <n8rrv> My queue's are filling up, both incoming (20000) and active (~13000)
[23:41:42] <n8rrv> I guess that means they're not being delivered to the exchange server...

[23:44:26] <pickcoder> n8rrv: does the mailq listing tell you why they're failing?
[23:45:04] <n8rrv> I don't know a thing about postfix, googling trying to learn.
[23:45:24] <n8rrv> ie, what's a mail queue. I know where the queues are (/var/spool/postfix)
[23:45:34] <n8rrv> Playing w/ qshape to see if that can give me any info
[23:45:45] <n8rrv> and the logs are in /etc/log/mail.xxx
[23:45:48] <pickcoder> n8rrv: I already asked if "mailq" showed defferls
[23:45:54] <pickcoder> it should tell you what it's deferred
[23:46:02] <pickcoder> s/what/why
[23:46:11] *** k4z_ has joined #postfix
[23:46:21] <n8rrv> I don't know what 'mailq' is.
[23:46:30] <pickcoder> ugh
[23:46:34] *** gonewestcoast has quit IRC
[23:46:34] <n8rrv> Sorry for my lack of postfix experience.
[23:46:35] <pickcoder> it's a program
[23:46:43] <pickcoder> type "mailq"
[23:47:52] <n8rrv> Hehe ok, it's scrolling like crazy, and I don't see any error messages, just a tag (looks hex) a #, a date and email addresses.
[23:47:56] * n8rrv googles mailq
[23:48:01] <dragonheart> and !logs
[23:48:06] <dragonheart> !logs
[23:48:06] <knoba> dragonheart: "logs" : by default, postfix logs to the mail facility of syslog. Something like grep -i `postconf -h syslog_facility` /etc/syslog.conf or grep -rl `postconf -h syslog_name` /var/log/* should tell you where logs are going.
[23:48:31] <pickcoder> n8rrv: mailq | less
[23:48:43] <pickcoder> if they're starting with an "*" then they're queued to be tried
[23:49:00] <pickcoder> also man mailq
[23:49:05] <n8rrv> No, but they all end w/ a *
[23:49:10] *** felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz
[23:49:52] <n8rrv> I'm having a hard time believing the level of spam I'm seeing.
[23:50:08] <pickcoder> er.. yeah end with "*"
[23:50:49] <pickcoder> you can also mailq | tail
[23:50:53] <pickcoder> to see the last 10 entries
[23:50:55] <n8rrv> Well, I don't see any in there that are real addresses on our system.
[23:50:59] <pickcoder> or mailq | head
[23:51:01] <pickcoder> to see first 10
[23:51:09] <pickcoder> n8rrv: then they shouldn't be queued
[23:51:12] <magyar_> hi, is amavis looks into individual users $HOME/.spamassassin folder?
[23:51:38] <pickcoder> n8rrv: you should probably stop postfix
[23:51:42] <pickcoder> kill the queue
[23:51:49] <pickcoder> and figure out how you got a relay
[23:51:56] <pickcoder> s/got/configured
[23:52:15] <n8rrv> It sends everything to our exchange server, I doubt postfix even knows who is on our system.
[23:55:09] <n8rrv> Ok, so it looks like the queue's aren't being emptied, because I see emails from 7am (8 hrs ago)
[23:55:41] *** F6F has quit IRC
[23:56:24] <n8rrv> We rebooted both the spamassassin/postfix server and the exchange server in a hopeless desperate attempt to clear this.
[23:56:27] <n8rrv> No such luck :(
