[00:01:03] <rob0> !default_privs
[00:01:04] <knoba> rob0: "default_privs" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: The default rights used by the local(8) delivery agent for delivery to external file or command. These rights are used when delivery is requested from an aliases(5) file that is owned by root, or when delivery is done on behalf of root. DO NOT SPECIFY A PRIVILEGED USER OR THE POSTFIX OWNER.
[00:01:21] <rob0> see also aliases(5)
[00:02:14] <pickcoder> rob0: you may not want a specific sudo-able user being the default
[00:04:50] <rob0> "see also aliases(5)" means "the owner of a file in $alias_maps is the user who executes commands."
[00:05:00] <pickcoder> the only reason I say that is I use a custom group/user to deal with mail-centric integration which I don't want as the default
[00:05:19] <rob0> so, add that user's file to your alias_maps
[00:05:23] <rob0> done
[00:05:25] <rob0> no pipe
[00:05:26] <pickcoder> I don't want it there
[00:06:08] <pickcoder> I have NIS serving content and I don't want aliases matching elsewhere
[00:06:25] <pickcoder> (though I still block that recpient elsewhere)
[00:09:04] <tvirus> Is it possible to keep my generic file in plain text and use it in the main.cf mapping?
[00:09:22] <_fury> so I'm having a really odd problem with postfix refusing to relay mail for certain users and I really can't figure this one out. The user authenticates to SASL and all. the maillog just says that relay access is denied, but doesn't mention anything about them authenticating.
[00:10:08] <pickcoder> rob0: not to totally negate you; if I wasn't so paranoid I could probably get by with what you said but I prefer to have it as a service instead of an alias
[00:10:36] <pickcoder> (I may even tag on a custom content filter at some point if that's possible for a pipe service
[00:12:46] <pickcoder> though I'm sure it's more advantageous to do that in the pipe command
[00:13:08] <akhilesh> sysmonk: Does the recipient_delimiter work for virtual forwarded address also ?
[00:13:18] <pickcoder> tvirus: eh? generic file of what?
[00:13:29] <rob0> !recipient_delimiter
[00:13:30] <knoba> rob0: "recipient_delimiter" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: The separator between user names and address extensions (user+foo). See canonical(5), local(8), relocated(5) and virtual(5) for the effects this has on aliases, canonical, virtual, relocated and on .forward file lookups. Basically, the software tries user+foo and .forward+foo before trying user and .forward.
[00:13:53] <rob0> recipient_delimiter affects all classes of address.
[00:14:16] <pickcoder> _fury: if you turn up logging verbosity then it will log more information on the SASL handshaking if it's happening
[00:14:41] <tvirus> pickcoder: It lets you route an email from user at host dot com to userB at host dot com.
[00:14:43] <rob0> No, if it doesn't say they authenticated, they did NOT auth.
[00:14:45] <pickcoder> though it should still say something about it in the logs
[00:14:55] <_fury> pickcoder: that's an idea, what should I set it to?
[00:15:01] <tvirus> The file is called 'generic'
[00:15:03] <rob0> Sounds like MS Outhouse.
[00:15:10] <rob0> !outlook
[00:15:11] <knoba> rob0: "outlook" : MS Outlook has numerous problems with TLS and AUTH support. Try using a better client to troubleshoot your Postfix server's AUTH features; then once you know it works, you can go back and break it such that Outlook will work.
[00:15:31] <pickcoder> _fury: what are you using for the auth client?
[00:15:35] <pickcoder> er.. service
[00:15:44] <_fury> dovecot
[00:15:45] <_fury> the user having problems is outhouse :(
[00:15:54] <_fury> but this actually always worked before
[00:15:56] <rob0> Why am I not surprised? :)
[00:16:16] <pickcoder> disable_plaintext_auth = no
[00:16:29] <pickcoder> make sure "login" is an auth mech
[00:16:44] <pickcoder> and plain
[00:17:18] <pickcoder> it's usually the disable_plaintext_auth that people miss
[00:17:32] <_fury> ya it was commented out and set to yes
[00:17:36] <pickcoder> it's either excluded and the default is yes or it's commented and hidden
[00:17:58] <_fury> my thing says mechanisms = plain
[00:18:14] <pickcoder> I have login and plain and OL works
[00:19:15] <_fury> ah
[00:19:19] <_fury> yes tha tlooks like it fixed it
[00:19:22] <_fury> yeah outlook is so horrible
[00:19:32] <_fury> I wish I could just confince them all to use thunderbird or some other sane client
[00:20:23] <Trengo> might as well tell the secretaries not to use word...
[00:20:31] <pickcoder> OOWriter
[00:20:40] <Trengo> same thing
[00:21:04] <pickcoder> atleast it's not tied to Thunderbird and consumes 40-60MB of RAM when idle
[00:21:21] <_fury> yes
[00:24:57] <pickcoder> tvirus: which parameter are you talking about using a plain text file with?
[00:25:30] <vice-versa> and their reply to that is, "whatever that means"
[00:26:09] <pickcoder> that's better than the blank stare
[00:26:33] <vice-versa> hehe

[00:36:27] *** PodMan99a has joined #postfix
[00:36:31] <akhilesh> somehow, the recipient_delimiter does not seem to work.... although its present in main.cf, I cant recv emails :(
[00:36:44] <akhilesh> how can I diagnose it ?
[00:37:14] <PodMan99a> hey all... trying to get my postfix+spamassassin+maildrop to deliver marked messages to INBOX.Spam ?? any docs?
[00:39:45] *** akhilesh has quit IRC
[00:40:09] *** BenB has joined #postfix
[00:41:13] <BenB> I'd like to filter spam before accept/queue, to avoid bounces. I found http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_PROXY_README.html , however, that sounds overly complex to me - essentially 3 SMTP-speaking daemons (before-filter postfix, filter, and after-filter postfix).
[00:42:12] <BenB> spamassassin has "a fast, low-overhead C client program" called "spamc". I'd like postfix to talk to that *directly*.
[00:42:16] <BenB> how can I do that?
[00:42:34] <hparker> BenB: use a milter
[00:43:31] <BenB> hparker: is there a howto how to connect spamassassin?
[00:43:47] <xpoint_dell> amavisd
[00:44:12] <hparker> Not sure about a howto, but about any milter that'll talk to spamassassin should work
[00:44:36] <hparker> Might be something at spamassassin.apache.org
[00:44:57] <higuita> there are many howto in the net for postfix+spamassassin (via milter, via amavis, etc)+clamav
[00:45:30] * hparker prefers to read docs and understand how things work so he has an idea when they break
[00:45:47] <BenB> xpoint_dell: I don't want a local network daemon. I want postfix to *directly* talk to spamassassin. definitely no amavisd.
[00:46:11] *** Tykling has left #postfix
[00:46:25] <BenB> higuita: I've founds tons, and they *all* use amavisd.
[00:46:53] * BenB finds http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/spamass-milt/
[00:46:54] <xpoint_dell> BenB, sure, one could use spambayes
[00:47:56] <higuita> BenB: http://laic.u-clermont1.fr/~mr/linux/spamass-milter_postfix_en.html
[00:49:01] <BenB> higuita: thanks
[00:49:19] <higuita> :)
[00:49:34] <higuita> google is your friend :D
[00:49:47] <BenB> higuita: only once I knew the keyword "milter" :)
[00:49:59] <higuita> :)
[00:50:02] <BenB> higuita: google is only your friend for keywords, not for concepts :)
[00:50:28] <hparker> Docs are good for keywords
[00:50:30] <hparker> !milter
[00:50:31] <knoba> hparker: "milter" : Postfix support for Sendmail milters: http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html
[00:52:41] <PodMan99a> !spam
[00:52:43] <knoba> PodMan99a: "spam" : for you and SPAM for me, we'll all live together in SPAM harmony at SPAM.com
[00:52:59] <hparker> :P
[00:53:16] <BenB> I'm all for "!spam" ("not spam")
[00:53:18] <PodMan99a> any one know how to make knoba to tell me how to move spam to another folder?
[00:53:25] * hparker is having BLT for dinner, wonders if he ought to have SLT instead
[00:54:13] <hparker> PodMan99a: No, postfix doesn't handle that, what package is maildrop part of?
[00:54:53] <higuita> BenB: you could search for postfix -amavis spamassassin , it would at least show entries using the content filter and probably sooner or later, milters :)
[00:55:50] <higuita> but, yes, its easier to search when we already know what to search ... google still have to improve this :D
[00:56:17] <BenB> PodMan99a: not sure what exactly you're asking, but my preferred way is to let the anti-spam software insert certain headers, then let the maildrop/delivery software (e.g. cyrus' deliver) filter spam into folders based on the headers.
[00:56:43] <BenB> using sieve, procmail or whatever way you prefer to filter mail on the server.

[01:00:53] <BenB> higuita: (FWIW, the problem is inherent in keyword-based search. you'd need a hierarchical taxonomy ala Yahoo! Directory (just better maintained and navigatable) for concepts.
[01:02:24] <BenB> internet -> mail -> server -> postfix -> spamfilter -> spamassassin -> before accept -> (1) before-queue / (2) milter
[01:02:45] <BenB> </offtopic>
[01:02:54] <hparker> Sounds like a nice site for you to start :P
[01:03:04] <BenB> hparker: yup, did that: ManyOne.
[01:03:14] <BenB> too bad it died due too too little funding.
[01:03:22] <hparker> ahh
[01:07:44] <higuita> BenB: cuil.com have a tag reference when we search... it would help alot for this kind of search (but of course, with more tags and more useful :)

[01:30:56] <BuenGenio> morning/evening/afternoon
[01:31:42] <BenB> BuenGenio: it's night here. I am offended.
[01:33:45] <BuenGenio> i have the weirdest problem with my postfix install: I've setup postfix to serve mail for several virtual domains. when I send mail from webmail hosted on the server, the mail is delivered to the corresponding user in that virtual domain, however when i try to send email from an outside box, postfix tries to deliver it to a corresponding local user, which naturally results in a bounce
[01:34:12] <BuenGenio> can someone please point what i'm missing
[01:35:01] <BuenGenio> the other problem is that when I connecting to my server with thunderbird/outlook/windows mail the connection is suddenly dropped before any negotiation takes place...
[01:35:05] <BenB> how did you set this up?
[01:35:43] *** BuenGenio has quit IRC
[01:35:43] <BenB> BuenGenio: I'm using virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
[01:35:56] <BenB> see docs for how /etc/postfix/virtual needs to look like
[01:36:02] *** seekwill has quit IRC
[01:36:11] *** BuenGenio has joined #postfix
[01:36:17] <BenB> BuenGenio: see docs for how /etc/postfix/virtual needs to look like
[01:36:40] <BenB> BuenGenio: I'm using virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
[01:36:50] <BenB> (in main.cf)
[01:39:06] <BuenGenio> well, virtual looks like eugene at byng-systems dot com.ua      eugene.byngsys
[01:39:06] <BuenGenio> bond at byng-systems dot com.ua        bond.byngsys
[01:39:07] <BuenGenio> etc..
[01:39:07] <BenB> don't forget postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
[01:39:07] <BenB> BuenGenio: it must look like:
[01:39:07] <BenB> example.net         ---
[01:39:07] <BenB> support at example dot net        fred
[01:39:07] <BenB> @example.net        spamme
[01:39:10] <BenB> "---" is anything non-null, non-whitespace
[01:39:16] <BuenGenio> that's the gist of what i have
[01:39:24] <BenB> did you do postmap?
[01:39:31] <BuenGenio> byng-systems.com.ua                 byng-systems.com.ua
[01:39:39] <BuenGenio> virtualmin does it i suppose...
[01:39:46] <BuenGenio> but i just did it
[01:39:46] <BenB> do it
[01:39:49] <BuenGenio> manually
[01:40:28] <BuenGenio> User unknown in virtual alias table
[01:40:33] <BenB> that should work, to my knowledge... the only other thing I can imagine would be a problem with your delivery agent (cyrus, courier etc.)
[01:40:38] <BenB> but I don't think so
[01:40:43] <BuenGenio>  relay=none, delay=0.42, delays=0.39/0/0/0.02, dsn=5.0.0,
[01:41:09] <BuenGenio> yeah, i'm using saslauthd
[01:41:43] <BenB> "User unknown in virtual alias table"?
[01:41:52] <BenB> look into that
[01:41:55] <BuenGenio> that's from info.log
[01:42:11] <BuenGenio> except the user is in /etc/postfix/virtual
[01:42:28] <BuenGenio> eugene at byng-systems dot com.ua                    eugene.byngsys
[01:42:42] <BenB> and you did postmap /etc/postfix/virtual ?
[01:42:47] <BuenGenio> yes
[01:42:49] <BenB> and restarted postfix?
[01:42:52] <BuenGenio> yes
[01:43:00] <BuenGenio> (postmap does it too)
[01:43:02] <BenB> *shrug*
[01:43:12] <BenB> don't know, then
[01:43:20] <BuenGenio> the weird thing is that when mail is sent locally - mail gets through, if sent from outside the box - bounce
[01:43:36] <BuenGenio> ok, well thanks anyway
[01:46:16] *** BuenGenio has quit IRC
[01:46:35] *** BuenGenio has joined #postfix
[01:51:20] <BuenGenio> could  "do not list domain byng-systems.com.ua  in BOTH virtual_alias_domains and virtual_mailbox_domains
[01:51:20] <BuenGenio> " have something to do with this?
[01:51:35] <BenB> sure
[01:51:45] <BuenGenio> how so?
[01:51:50] <BuenGenio> and where
[01:52:01] <BenB> I have none of these.
[01:52:04] <BenB> maybe remove them
[01:53:02] <BenB> my postconf says
[01:53:06] <BenB> virtual_alias_domains = $virtual_alias_maps
[01:53:16] <BenB> virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps
[01:53:33] <BenB> they are not in mail.cf, so I assume they are default
[01:54:27] <BenB> wild guess: check the permissions of the files, esp. /etc/postofix/virtual.db
[01:54:30] *** gutocarvalho has quit IRC
[01:54:53] <BenB> maybe the smtpd cannot access it, but the local sendmail can.

[02:12:06] <BenB> higuita, hparker: milter still talks over a socket...
[02:12:49] *** thumbs has joined #postfix
[02:13:15] <BenB> so, I have (internet) -> postfix -> (milter socket) -> spamass-milter -> (stdin/stdout) -> spamc -> (local network) -> spamd - and all back again
[02:13:43] <BenB> I'd like: (internet) -> postfix -> (local network) -> spamd
[02:14:00] <BenB> or better yet: (internet) -> postfix -> (unix socket) -> spamd
[02:14:46] <BenB> situation with amavisd is not much better (or even worse) than with milter
[02:15:10] <BenB> this is all a complete waste of I/O resources.
[02:15:37] <BenB> (and useless process creation)
[02:15:39] <hparker> no clue, never looked at pre-queue... I've had too many attacks to consider it
[02:16:07] <hparker> when one of your email addys suffers a huge spam run or joe job, you'll see why
[02:16:26] <BenB> hparker: for me, it's the only option. I don't want ham to be ever lost, and I get too much spam to look over it.
[02:16:52] <BenB> and I don't want to spam other people, so bounces are completely out of question.
[02:17:15] <hparker> I do after queue and filter 3k+ a week out of one of my accounts, leaving me 5-10 a day to look at... Works for me
[02:17:32] <BenB> my personal mail constantly suffers this. I get 5000+ per day.
[02:17:48] <BenB> and deleting mail unseen is not an option for me. see "no ham lost" mantra.
[02:18:08] <hparker> so, quarantine what scores > 10, kill > 20
[02:18:09] <BenB> anyways, before queue is the only solution for me that I see.

[04:52:45] <harlan> I notice that incoming email from blackberry often "sucks up" the next email that comes in, ie, when I read the message sent form a blackberry it is common for whatever message arrived next to be appended to the blackberry message.  I'm using procmail as the delivery agent.

[05:14:38] <Dominian> harlan: that's a bit confusing..
[05:14:45] <Dominian> You mean appending/
[05:15:00] <harlan> yes.
[05:15:18] <Dominian> does it do it with anything else or just blackberry emails?
[05:15:44] <harlan> If 2 messages are delivered, the first from a blackberry and the 2nd from a "normal" source, the inbox shows 1 email message.
[05:15:59] <harlan> It *only* happens on email sent from a blackberry.
[05:16:06] <Dominian> and what do the headers look like?
[05:16:16] <harlan> on which message?
[05:16:26] *** goldfischli has joined #postfix
[05:16:28] <Dominian> on the one that is being appended
[05:16:35] <Dominian> I've never ever heard of that happening
[05:16:43] <Dominian> each message is its own "queue" file for a reason..
[05:16:52] <harlan> they both look normal to me (I did not do deep surgery).  I wonder if the blackberry email is missing a final EOL or something.
[05:17:02] <Dominian> so either a) something with the sending server is hosed or b) you have something weird in your config mucking with queue files, headers, or something else.
[05:18:25] <harlan> I'm pretty sure all the config stuff is "stock" in that regard.
[05:18:47] <pickcoder> or it could be the blackberry
[05:18:48] <Dominian> that's really weird
[05:18:53] <Dominian> ae
[05:18:54] <Dominian> er.. aye
[05:19:02] <harlan> I'm expecting it has to do with blackberry messages.
[05:19:04] <Dominian> I'd look at making sure the latest firmware for the BB is on there ..
[05:19:41] <harlan> they are not under my control.
[05:19:46] <pickcoder> harlan: how are you sending the mail from it
[05:19:53] <harlan> these are messages coming in from random folks.
[05:20:14] <harlan> hey pickcoder, it's folks replying to an email from their blackberry.
[05:20:19] <harlan> I don;t have one.
[05:20:20] <pickcoder> SMS?
[05:20:26] <harlan> no idea.
[05:20:31] <Dominian> Well, the only true way to test out and find out what is going on.. get your hands on a blackberry.. monitor the mail log and start sending test messages...
[05:20:48] <Dominian> blackbery messages go through my postfix server just fine.. nothing weird like that at all.
[05:21:02] <harlan> ok, I'll see what I can do.  Thanks for the ideas.
[05:21:07] <Dominian> np
[05:22:32] <pickcoder> wonder if could be the pop3 client
[05:22:40] * Dominian shrugs
[05:22:44] <harlan> I'm not using a pop3 client.
[05:22:48] <pickcoder> imap?
[05:22:55] <harlan> nope.  Maildir and mbox.
[05:23:01] <pickcoder> via what
[05:23:02] <pickcoder> pine?
[05:23:03] <pickcoder> mutt?
[05:23:04] <Dominian> imap
[05:23:14] <Dominian> blackberry defaults to imap for retrieval
[05:23:14] <pickcoder> you're reading it somehow
[05:23:19] <harlan> I use nmh, but I also look at the messages in the Maildir or mbox.
[05:23:37] <harlan> I'm talking about email sent from a blackberry.
[05:23:46] <pickcoder> to the mailbox you're reading
[05:23:52] <harlan> yes
[05:24:04] <pickcoder> are you running any filters on the incoming mail?
[05:24:07] <Dominian> Who's the carrier they are coming from?
[05:25:00] <harlan> I've seen it at 2 sites, one qwest, the other hurricane electric.  But who knows what transit it used from blackberry.
[05:25:19] <Dominian> odd

[09:24:24] <sebastian> someones awake?
[09:24:53] <f3ew> yes
[09:25:07] <sebastian> i got a question about postfix and mail forwarding
[09:25:14] <sebastian> maybe you can help me out?
[09:25:28] <sebastian> i got all my users in an ldap db
[09:25:36] <sebastian> and it works quite well
[09:25:40] <sebastian> all users get their mail
[09:26:03] <sebastian> but tehre are some users, where the mail hzas to be forwarded to a subdomains mail exchanger
[09:26:07] <sebastian> and that does not work
[09:26:21] <sebastian> the mail is delivered to the primary mail server
[09:26:37] <sebastian> so the question is
[09:26:57] <sebastian> how does postfix determine the mail adress the mail is delivered to?
[09:27:08] <sebastian> and how can i change its behaviour?
[09:27:35] <sebastian> in the ldap there is a mail adress attribut called "mail"
[09:27:40] <sebastian> which is set correctly
[09:28:31] *** jeev has quit IRC

[12:59:06] <BuenGenio> hoping somebody can give me a hand
[12:59:19] <BuenGenio> 1) when sending mail remotely through thte server - the connection just gets dropped before or at handshaking
[12:59:30] <BuenGenio> 2) sending mail from roundcube to a user @ virtualdomain gets it delivered fine. when sending from outside - postfix tries to deliver it to route it to a local system user, which inevitably fails

[13:31:13] <tore> will the mx2 get all the mail, que it. and then send it to mx1 when it's back up?
[13:35:35] <vice-versa> http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#backup
[13:36:03] <shasta> how about instead of wasting our time, you waste some yours to read the basic documentation, just like the one vice-versa gave you? ;)

[13:39:04] <tore> yeah, will do ;p
[13:41:31] <vice-versa> tore: to answer your second question, in theory yes, however secondary MXs tend to be abused/exploited by spammers
[13:43:13] <tore> mm. but it says that I have to pouplate /etc/postfix/relay_recipients with the mail-adresses that I want to back up
[13:43:37] <tore> what if I have 1000 domains hosted, where accounts are added or deleted all the time?
[13:45:32] <vice-versa> and that's the second issue, secondary MXs sometimes are more work than the value of the fault tolerant redundancy they actually provide
[13:47:33] <vice-versa> this is the very thing spammers hope to exploit on secondary MXs, that they're not as well configured as the primary

[15:10:27] <shasta> !recipient_bcc_maps
[15:10:28] <knoba> shasta: "recipient_bcc_maps" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: Optional BCC (blind carbon-copy) address lookup tables, indexed by recipient address. The BCC address (multiple results are not supported) is added when mail enters from outside of Postfix.
[15:13:46] <kexman> In order to use TLS, the Postfix SMTP server generally needs a certificate and a private key. Both must be in "PEM" format.

[15:22:09] <kexman> yes yes there is ;)
[15:22:12] <sysmonk> wow
[15:22:33] <kexman> but pem files have the key / certificate in one file !
[15:22:34] <kexman> no ?
[15:22:39] <kexman> and dh parameters
[15:22:47] <sysmonk> really?
[15:23:02] <kexman> at least the ones that courier made for me they look like this : rsa private key; certificate; dh parameters

[15:23:18] <lunaphyte_> kexman: postfix (and most programs in general) don't give crap about the name you give a file.  they *look* at the actual file, and decide if they like it or not.  so you can name your cert postfix.dickinmyass if you want, and postfix will be perfectly happy.

[15:57:31] <sysmonk> (10 connections / s from each host, and few thousand hosts)
[15:58:42] <vice-versa> I gave them some iptables rules to rate limit 25 which greatly reduced the saturation

[17:26:08] <vice-versa> see, wasn't so hard now was it ;)
[17:26:20] <pickcoder> kexman: why would you require tls auth and say "maybe" for security level?
[17:26:23] <Anduin__> :p
[17:27:19] <kexman> pickcoder: well im a newbie and dont really understand it well.
[17:27:42] <kexman> pickcoder: i tought these options influence connection when i receive mail from other servers
[17:27:56] <pickcoder> get rid of the security level param or make it "encrypt" if you want to enfofce TLS for SASL
[17:28:07] <pickcoder> !tls
[17:28:08] <knoba> pickcoder: "tls" : short for "Transport Layer Security" (RFC2246). It adds an additional layer of encryption to protocols like SMTP, POP3 or IMAP to improve security during transmission over the internet. You can find HOWTOs on that topic on http://www.postfix.org/docs.html
[17:28:20] <kexman> pickcoder: i want to enfore tls for sasl
[17:28:48] <pickcoder> http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_tls_security_level
[17:28:49] <kexman> pickcoder: im reading the docs on the postfix site. they are great but as you see i still need some clearing :)
[17:29:01] <kexman> reading the exactly the same site !
[17:29:04] <pickcoder> default is empty
[17:29:13] <pickcoder> read note 2
[17:29:34] <kexman> When TLS layer encryption is optional ("smtpd_tls_security_level = may" or the obsolete "smtpd_enforce_tls = no"), it may however still be useful to only offer AUTH when TLS is active. To maintain compatibility with non-TLS clients, the default is to accept AUTH without encryption. In order to change this behavior, set "smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes".
[17:29:47] <kexman> that is writtein in the TLS_README
[17:29:52] <kexman> so i set it to may and yes
[17:30:00] <kexman> ill go for encrypt then
[17:30:04] <pickcoder> like I said
[17:30:07] <pickcoder> drop the security param
[17:30:12] <pickcoder> restart postfix
[17:30:19] <kexman> smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt
[17:30:26] <pickcoder> that's fine
[17:30:27] <kexman> restarted
[17:30:57] <kexman> using thunderbird and i set the Use secure connection : NO

[17:32:02] <kexman> http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#server_tls_auth
[17:32:15] <pickcoder> the readme is correct for general use where you don't want to enforce TLS
[17:32:28] <kexman> as i pasted before it says that i can add smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes even using may for the other parameter
[17:32:53] <pickcoder> hm
[17:33:08] <kexman> pickcoder: for imap and pop3 tsl enforcing i would need to consult courier imap and pop3 config files ? right ?
[17:33:32] <pickcoder> may for security level does not enforce tls
[17:33:43] <pickcoder> kexman: yes
[17:33:47] <f3ew> kexman yes
[17:34:22] <pickcoder> kexman: I think you're looking at it backwards
[17:34:38] <kexman> well then i got it wrong . sorry
[17:34:43] <pickcoder> you can enforce TLS with the security level of "encrypt"
[17:34:48] <kexman> thanks for clarifying
[17:35:00] <pickcoder> tls_auth_only = no  means you can auth with or without tls

[18:28:11] <BuenGenio> good evening/morning/afternoon
[18:28:13] <BuenGenio> i have a few weird issues with postfix
[18:28:16] <BuenGenio> 1) when sending mail remotely through thte server - the connection just gets dropped before or at handshaking
[18:28:22] <BuenGenio> 2) sending mail from roundcube to a user @ virtualdomain gets it delivered fine. when sending from outside - postfix tries to deliver it to route it to a local system user, which inevitably fails
[18:28:52] *** linux_manju has quit IRC
[18:28:58] <BuenGenio> 3) i don't receive mail from some services, including GMail, but do from others, e.g. Hotmail
[18:29:25] <vice-versa> lots of issues

[18:33:51] <sysmonk> pizdablatskoje_mudajobishche
[18:33:53] <lunaphyte_> so, does uname -imo mean "whatever my opinion is of what uname should be"?  :p

[18:34:30] <vice-versa> imo, yes

[18:36:30] <lunaphyte_> yes
[18:37:09] <vice-versa> what switch does it not like?
[18:38:29] <vice-versa> or is because they're combined? (I would think that would be the case though)
[18:39:04] <vice-versa> *wouldn't be rather
[18:39:10] <sysmonk> vice-versa: -o
[18:39:19] <sysmonk> what does -o do?
[18:39:34] <vice-versa> OS
[18:39:43] <lunaphyte_> something like uname -pms would be more suitable for bsd
[18:39:43] <pickcoder> why not do uname -a
[18:40:16] <vice-versa> I was thinking of using -a but thought some might object to it
[18:40:21] <lunaphyte_> yes, uname -a would be most portable, i'd say.
[18:40:31] *** magyar has quit IRC
[18:40:35] <vice-versa> uname -a it is then

[19:06:10] <sysmonk> HMMMM

[19:06:33] <sysmonk> BuenGenio: where are you from?

[19:06:54] <BuenGenio> sorry, weed is riping too
[19:07:00] <sysmonk> heh
[19:07:04] <sysmonk> BuenGenio: i'm near you
[19:07:14] <sysmonk> so sure, come here, gimme some vodka and i'll help ya :)
[19:07:14] <BuenGenio> sysmonk, orly?
[19:07:18] <sysmonk> orally
[19:07:21] <sysmonk> err, yes, really

[19:07:30] <BuenGenio> :D
[19:07:33] <vice-versa> BuenGenio: yeah, you got a vehicle?
[19:07:49] <BuenGenio> well, isn't the point of IRC/interweb to facilitate remote work?
[19:08:09] <BuenGenio> yeah, but i might not make it to russian border - the roads are notoriously bad around here
[19:08:11] <BuenGenio> :)
[19:08:16] <vice-versa> only if large bodys of water are involved
[19:08:29] <BuenGenio> or vodka?
[19:08:33] <BuenGenio> haha
[19:09:00] <BuenGenio> so yeah, i could ship something to you
[19:09:11] <BuenGenio> plenty of vehicles with LT number plates around
[19:09:20] <sysmonk> BuenGenio: yes, irc / intarwab is for remote stuff
[19:09:22] <sysmonk> but vodka isn't remote
[19:09:23] <BuenGenio> could piggy back you some goat produce
[19:09:29] <sysmonk> and vodka is MORE IMPORTANT than anything
[19:09:41] <BuenGenio> if you're Swedish, I guess...
[19:09:45] <BuenGenio> bloody expensive
[19:09:48] <BuenGenio> haha
[19:09:52] <sysmonk> so, vodka first, then support!
[19:10:00] * BuenGenio hopes there are no Swedish admins in the channel
[19:10:10] <BuenGenio> sysmonk, that's a very mercantile
[19:10:13] <BuenGenio> approach
[19:10:16] <BuenGenio> :)
[19:10:28] <BuenGenio> plus i asked first ;)
[19:10:31] <sysmonk> BuenGenio: and you'll even get support on your 'almost-native' language - russian ;)
[19:10:57] <hparker> remote vodka?!?! Is that what VoIP stands for?
[19:10:59] <BuenGenio> my almost native language is spanish and php
[19:11:02] <vice-versa> complete with drunken slur
[19:11:06] <BuenGenio> hahahaha

[19:11:17] <hparker> ;)
[19:11:26] <BuenGenio> (tu)
[19:11:45] <BuenGenio> i need help with routing issues and delivery in postfix
[19:11:52] <vice-versa> BuenGenio: your first issue sort of sounds firewall or mtu related, that !cisco_pix factoid was meant you
[19:12:03] <sysmonk> BuenGenio: php is native in lithuania
[19:12:05] <BuenGenio> oreally
[19:12:09] <sysmonk> but spanish ... err... what's that ? :)
[19:12:26] <BuenGenio> some dialect of Catalan, i think
[19:12:40] *** gonewestcoast has joined #postfix
[19:12:44] <BuenGenio> that's if Catalan has dialects...
[19:12:52] <BuenGenio> !cisco_pix
[19:12:53] <knoba> BuenGenio: "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.
[19:12:53] <sysmonk> is it compilable or interpretable?
[19:13:12] <BuenGenio> it's unsupportable
[19:13:17] <BuenGenio> hehehe ;)
[19:13:33] <BuenGenio> vice-versa, i run my own firewall
[19:13:49] <BuenGenio> afaik the hosting company doesn't filter any traffic to my box
[19:13:59] <vice-versa> then I guess you ruled that out at least?
[19:14:17] <BuenGenio> let's hope so
[19:15:17] <BuenGenio> what's bothering me is that mail sent locally (from webmail) is delivered to a user on the virtual host - i.e. /home/corpwebsite/homes/johny/mail
[19:15:31] <BuenGenio> when mail comes from outside, the box tries to put it into /home/johny/mail
[19:15:56] <BuenGenio> and my virtual.db looks right enough...
[19:16:06] <vice-versa> BuenGenio: can you telnet out to a remote smtp and complete a delivery?
[19:16:28] <BuenGenio> you mean to my SMTP from here?
[19:16:36] <BuenGenio> or from the server
[19:16:37] <vice-versa> from the same host postfix is on obviously
[19:16:40] <BuenGenio> ok
[19:16:46] <BuenGenio> i'll try with google
[19:17:08] <BuenGenio> ok i'm on 250 already
[19:19:18] <BuenGenio> it's when i get to RCPT TO: google tellls me relaying is denied...
[19:20:04] <BuenGenio> anyway, it connects, so
[19:21:26] <BuenGenio> either way, judging from my particular set of conditions, postfix works fine as an MTA
[19:21:41] <BuenGenio> i can see other hosts delivering mail to my box in the logs
[19:21:47] <sysmonk> what does work wrong?
[19:21:59] * sysmonk didn't read the problem description
[19:22:10] *** Roobarb has quit IRC
[19:22:38] <BuenGenio> basically, when i try to use mail.myserver.com.ua to send mail, the connection drops abruptly before the mail is sent
[19:22:52] <sysmonk> what do logs say?
[19:22:55] <BuenGenio> and it's these connections that i don't see in the logs
[19:22:57] <sysmonk> pastebin the line where it drops
[19:23:12] <BuenGenio> hence i am unable to even think where to start looking
[19:23:34] <BuenGenio> is this something to do with Debug level?
[19:23:56] <BuenGenio> debug_peer_level is currently 3
[19:24:29] *** TheAvatar_ has quit IRC

[19:25:25] <BuenGenio> what was that all about? :P

[19:25:48] <BuenGenio> on protocol level
[19:25:55] <BuenGenio> not just when the mail is accepted for delivery?
[19:25:56] <sysmonk> BuenGenio: i asked for a log entry showing how it doesn't work ;/

[19:31:29] <sysmonk> vice-versa: :)
[19:31:33] <Dominian> wait wait wait
[19:31:36] <BuenGenio> no, thunderbird as well
[19:31:42] <Dominian> BuenGenio: What version of postfix is on that macos server?
[19:31:53] <Dominian> In my experience, postfix installations on MacOS servers are totally fucked.
[19:31:59] <BuenGenio> 2.5.1
[19:32:00] <Dominian> meaning they are configured really stupidly from the get go.
[19:32:17] <Dominian> Well, thats definitely recent.
[19:32:19] <BuenGenio> Dominian, ok, i'll keep that in mind! ^_%
[19:32:23] <Dominian> BuenGenio: Did this come preinstalled ordid you install it?
[19:32:29] <BuenGenio> i did
[19:32:41] <Dominian> What was installed on there before?
[19:32:54] <cpm> ime, OSX-server is meant to be used out of the box, in some  very very simple configurations. Note that all your changes will get overwritten by the administrative tools on a reboot.

[19:34:55] <Dominian> sysmonk: I'm just backing you up :)
[19:34:56] <BuenGenio> Dominian, ok, just bear with me, i'll just set up verbose logging for remote incoming connections
[19:35:07] <sysmonk> hehe, take him over, he likes you more :P
[19:35:21] <Dominian> Don't need verbose logging
[19:35:29] <Dominian> the default logging enabled in postfix should be enough
[19:35:31] <BuenGenio> well it's good to know sysmonk is not that keen on vodka either! :)
[19:35:51] <Dominian> also you may want to pastebin: postconf -n

[20:03:56] <puff> Hey... slightly off-topic, but nobody's awake on #spamassassin.  I have my system setup so postfix feeds incoming mail to spamasassin and clam-av. At first this worked very well, now hundreds of spams get through.  I haven't done any sa-learn stuff, not sure how it works and what I should do at this point.
[20:04:34] <ffeynman> lunaphyte_:  I think adding it there is easy... but what do I do about MX records etc :)

[22:02:52] <knoba> sysmonk: "amavis" : a mail virus scanner. A content filter that scans all received mail for spam (using the built-in spamassassin) and viruses (using any external virus scanner). See: http://www.amavis.org/

[22:03:24] <vice-versa> don't do that again!
[22:03:35] <sysmonk> oh, or are you about before queue / after queue stuff?
[22:03:45] <gamercod4> ^^
[22:04:09] * sysmonk slaps gamercod4, just for fun
[22:04:13] <gamercod4> xD
[22:04:41] <mechtn> if i currently have postfix up and running with a domain - mail.example1.com and i want to add mail.test1.com to it then would i just add it to the mydestination line?
[22:05:11] <lunaphyte_> possibly.
[22:05:18] <sysmonk> mechtn: right. and create mx entries on the dns. and create users
[22:05:21] <vice-versa> seems to me I recall they changed the location of those files in recent versions because of others that have done this, so you're not alone gamercod4
[22:05:34] <sysmonk> vice-versa: what locations?
[22:05:38] <sysmonk> vice-versa: /me lazy to page-up
[22:05:47] <sysmonk> and also, don't forget, page-up is now patented by microsoft!

[22:05:51] <mechtn> mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost
[22:06:02] <mechtn> mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost mail.test1.com
[22:06:11] <mechtn> would i just fix it like that?
[22:06:16] <vice-versa> sysmonk: post-install, postfix-files and postfix-script
[22:07:03] <vice-versa> and isn't both pg-up & pg-dn?
[22:07:18] <sysmonk> should be both
[22:07:52] <sysmonk> it's not that 'pg-up & pg-dn', it's "scrolling teh f*kin document 1 page forward or backward" or something like that
[22:08:00] <vice-versa> they really need to give the US patent system an overhaul imo
[22:08:51] <sysmonk> oh, we don't care, 85% lithuanian use pirated microsoft products at home
[22:09:02] <sysmonk> the other 15% just have an OEM license ;)
[22:09:03] <vice-versa> sysmonk: yeah i read that on /., didn't pay it much mind, the US patent system is wacked and or corrupt

[23:33:43] <sysmonk> vice-versa: that's what my brother is like
[23:35:14] <vice-versa> the base of it appears to be well intentioned or perhaps even instinct, we want better for our offspring then we had it for ourselves
[23:36:24] *** carl- has quit IRC
[23:36:49] <sysmonk> vice-versa: so, now we need a solution
[23:36:59] <sysmonk> where did you say you had that bomb ?
[23:37:07] <seekwill> Hey hey hey
[23:37:10] <seekwill> Let's not talk about that
[23:37:23] <seekwill> Not over unsecured networks at least
[23:37:26] <vice-versa> naw, a good global depression will sort that mess out eventually
[23:37:41] * seekwill wonders what he jumped into
[23:37:57] <sysmonk> seekwill: oh, we need a secure one, like efnet!
[23:38:09] <seekwill> yeah
[23:38:25] <sysmonk> hm
[23:38:31] <sysmonk> by the way, i wonder how #postfix looks there
[23:38:38] <seekwill> Not as cool
[23:38:43] <lennard> way lame
[23:38:54] <sysmonk> 09-11 00:38:56 -!- Irssi: #postfix: Total of 1 nicks [1 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 0 normal]
[23:38:57] <sysmonk> niiiice

[23:39:09] <seekwill> What network?
[23:39:12] <sysmonk> efnet
[23:39:27] <lennard> so what are we on again? freenode?
[23:39:32] <vice-versa> pwe: afap?
[23:39:39] <pwe> as fast as possible
[23:39:41] <sysmonk> vice-versa: a[SF]ap
[23:39:45] <vice-versa> as far as possible?

[23:42:02] <knoba> vice-versa: "tune" : Postfix performance tuning: See http://www.postfix.org/TUNING_README.html
[23:46:36] * vice-versa sighs
[23:47:16] <vice-versa> I feel like I haven't gotten jack accomplished today
[23:47:27] <sysmonk> !TUNING_README
[23:47:28] <knoba> sysmonk: Error: "TUNING_README" is not a valid command.

[23:47:54] <vice-versa> as in jack all
[23:48:05] <kexman> stereo jack ? :)
[23:49:56] <lunaphyte> jack hoff.
[23:50:16] <vice-versa> meh, if nothing else I created a few (hopefully) useful #postfix factoids
[23:50:32] <lunaphyte> i say definitely add that to your resume.
[23:50:47] <sysmonk> hehe
[23:51:17] <sysmonk> yeah, i liked the part on f3ew's resume abuot being an op @ freenode #postfix
[23:51:17] <sysmonk> ;)
[23:54:21] <kexman> hehehe
[23:54:22] <kexman> lol
[23:54:30] <kexman> he really wrote that into his resume ? :)
[23:54:37] <kexman> well not that it isnt a GREAT thing
[23:54:43] <kexman> great achivement
[23:55:04] <kexman> do any of you guys use ldap for anything ?
[23:55:36] <sysmonk> a bit, but i'll be trying to do a ldap based project this year to get ldap better
[23:56:29] <kexman> i never used it
[23:56:35] <kexman> what would one use ldap for ?
[23:56:40] <kexman> mail , samba ?
[23:56:46] <habnabit_> Being an op on any freenode channel probably demonstrates that you know a goddamn lot about something.
[23:57:00] <habnabit_> Well. Any respectable freenode channel.
[23:57:07] <kexman> habnabit_: yip
[23:57:16] <lunaphyte> more like what wouldn't one use ldap for?
[23:57:19] <sysmonk> habnabit_: sadly, but in my country nobody knows what the hell is freenode
[23:57:21] <kexman> or you know goddamn lot about alot of alot of alots :)
[23:57:27] <kexman> lol
[23:57:31] <kexman> sysmonk: which would that be ?
[23:57:35] <sysmonk> kexman: lithuania
[23:57:42] <vice-versa> lunaphyte: fortunately I'll never have the need to submit a resume
[23:57:45] <kexman> thats not to far from here :)
[23:57:56] <kexman> vice-versa: owning a company ?
[23:57:59] <sysmonk> vice-versa: i've been asked to send my resume to one company
[23:58:07] <sysmonk> so i had to make one this week
[23:58:31] <sysmonk> i'm seeking for a new job, but nobody wants me :(
[23:58:37] <vice-versa> kexman: partner
[23:58:47] <sysmonk> vice-versa: good for you ;(
[23:58:53] <sysmonk> kexman: where are you from?
[23:59:57] <sysmonk> *Everybody shuts up after my words about nobody wanting me*
