[00:17:41] <ThersiT> I keep reading in the postfix docs that some parameters are set one way by "default"
[00:18:04] <ThersiT> where are these "defaults" set?
[00:18:45] <ThersiT> is it the /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist file??
[00:22:13] <Zonei> Hi. I've set up virtual domains and mailboxes as mentioned in the VIRTUAL_README, but my server still responds with Relay access denied to incoming mail. What setting is responsible for that
[00:22:14] <Zonei> ?
[00:23:20] *** CartoonCat has quit IRC
[00:27:40] *** chadmaynard has quit IRC
[00:30:40] *** chadmaynard has joined #postfix
[00:35:11] <lunaphyte> ThersiT: defaults aren't set.  they just "exist".
[00:35:30] <lunaphyte> if they were set, then they wouldn't really be defaults.
[00:36:04] <lunaphyte> they're hard-coded in postfix.  read the man page for postconf for info on determining default values.
[00:36:08] <Zonei> Here's the pastebin of postconf -n
[00:36:16] <Zonei> oops here: http://pastebin.com/d6377ac1c
[00:37:23] *** pirho has quit IRC
[00:38:07] <ThersiT> lunaphyte: thanks, I'm just tring to get a handle on what's going on so I know what to change.
[00:47:29] *** chadmaynard has quit IRC
[00:48:17] *** Surye has joined #postfix
[00:48:34] <Surye> What would cause emails to just sit in incoming, and only send out when postfix is restarted
[00:49:28] <lunaphyte> !tell Zonei logs
[00:49:28] <knoba> Zonei: -> "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.
[00:49:47] <Zonei> ?
[00:50:00] <lunaphyte> Surye: show logs
[00:51:00] *** F6F has quit IRC
[00:51:04] <Zonei> lunaphyte I know where the logs are, I just don't know why it still rejects incoming with relay access denied, even though i've setup virtual mailboxes

[01:02:56] *** war9407 has quit IRC
[01:05:28] <Zonei> lunaphyte some what? it says Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied
[01:05:57] <lunaphyte> Zonei: pastebin a log snippit that demonstrates what you're describing.
[01:06:37] <Zonei> it's one line, can I paste here?
[01:07:31] <lunaphyte> grab the few preceding/following lines and pastebin it.  it will probably shed some light on the context.
[01:07:56] <Zonei> the line before is daemon started, and the line after is disconnect
[01:08:19] <Zonei> but if you insist... sec
[01:10:56] <Surye> If qmgr is set to 300 sec wakeup in the master.cf, does that mean mail will only get delivered once every 5 minutes?
[01:12:08] <Zonei> lunaphyte: http://pastebin.com/d46a6ac14  I tested it by telnetting to the server.
[01:12:10] <lunaphyte> Surye: no
[01:12:31] <Surye> Hmm, killing qmgr causes it to flush incoming
[01:12:47] <Surye> logs show nothing while it's waiting, just the recieve
[01:13:51] *** Ryushin has joined #postfix
[01:17:43] *** cilly has quit IRC
[01:18:05] <lunaphyte> Zonei: where is valid-domain.com?
[01:18:26] <lunaphyte> btw - those log messages are incomplete.  where's the connect?
[01:18:33] <lunaphyte> !obfuscate
[01:18:34] <knoba> lunaphyte: Error: "obfuscate" is not a valid command.
[01:18:37] <lunaphyte> hmm.
[01:19:04] <Zonei> lunaphyte listed in virtualmailbox file
[01:20:15] <lunaphyte> i don't see a parameter using that file in your pastebin.
[01:21:10] <Zonei> lunaphyte lines 65 and 66
[01:21:49] <lunaphyte> /etc/postfix/vmailbox ?  then what is virtualmailbox?
[01:22:31] <Zonei> lunaphyte that's the file the virtual email address is listed in, with appropriate directory in /var/spool/mail/
[01:23:30] <lunaphyte> grrr.
[01:24:30] <lunaphyte> supporting obfuscated log entries sucks.
[01:24:39] *** scott has quit IRC
[01:25:00] <Surye> But IP addresses are super secret.
[01:25:22] <lunaphyte> Zonei: have you postmapped /etc/postfix/vmailbox?
[01:25:28] <Zonei> yes
[01:28:18] <lunaphyte> what does postmap -q valid-domain.com /etc/postfix/vmailbox say?
[01:29:46] <Zonei> nothing
[01:29:59] <lunaphyte> pastebin the contents of that file.
[01:30:27] <lunaphyte> we really prefer it here if you don't munge stuff, btw.
[01:30:45] *** wooz has quit IRC
[01:30:56] <Zonei> lunaphyte its one line:   valid_account at valid-domain dot com<tab>valid-domain.com/valid_account
[01:31:02] <Zonei> I know, but I have to. :/
[01:31:06] <lunaphyte> why?
[01:31:26] <lunaphyte> !tell Zonei virtual
[01:31:27] <knoba> Zonei: -> "virtual" : a way to configure additional domains and user accounts (that do not need to exist in your /etc/passwd). See: http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html
[01:32:06] <lunaphyte> that map isn't meant to contain lhs data.
[01:32:16] <Zonei> lhs?
[01:32:33] <lunaphyte> left hand side - eg. usernames - anything to the left of '@'.
[01:32:46] *** gutocarvalho has quit IRC
[01:33:03] <lunaphyte> that's why it's named *domains*, not addresses, or users, etc.
[01:33:13] <Zonei> Postfix virtual MAILBOX example: separate domains, non-UNIX accounts, I followd that, and its vmailbox example has the lhs
[01:33:56] <Zonei> do I need separate file with domains only for virtual_mailbox_domains?
[01:35:12] <Zonei> besides, this used to work few months ago when I first touched Postfix, but for the life of me, I forgot what I did, and unfortunately did not keep the config file....

[01:42:53] <Zonei> what do I need in mynetworks and mynetwork_style to allow anyone to send to recipients in virtual mailbox?
[01:49:04] *** diego_ has joined #postfix
[01:52:39] <googlah> doesn't mynetworks only specify which networks should be able to relay via smtp?
[01:52:50] *** Ryushin has quit IRC
[01:53:07] <googlah> e.g outgoing.
[01:54:22] <lunaphyte> Zonei: it's better to separate those files.
[01:55:17] <Zonei> ok, i'll try with that, i'll switch to db anyhow, once i get this going.
[01:55:37] <Zonei> thanks for all your assistance, i must go now, but i'll come back harrass you guys some more if i need help. ;)

[02:22:09] <ThersiT> if i'm running postfix on a cable modem (with a dynamic IP) from behind a little linksys router, do I need to set "proxy_interfaces" in my main.cf?

[02:30:23] *** luke-jr has joined #postfix
[02:30:33] <luke-jr> How can I require all relayed emails to be approved individually?
[02:31:00] <lunaphyte> oh no, not you again.
[02:31:02] <lunaphyte> ;)
[02:31:11] <lunaphyte> approved by who?
[02:31:54] <luke-jr> by the postmaster, me
[02:33:32] <lunaphyte> describe how you envision you approving messages.
[02:33:53] <lunaphyte> (the short answer here is no, but i'm curious what you're thinking)
[02:34:13] <ThersiT> can proxy_interfaces be a hostname or does it have to be an IP?
[02:35:04] <luke-jr> lunaphyte: I don't care about that detail, but getting an IM I can reply to with 'send' or 'discard' would be nice
[02:40:14] *** ming_zym has joined #postfix
[02:40:53] <lunaphyte> ThersiT: either is fine.
[02:41:45] <lunaphyte> luke-jr: postfix itself doesn't employ a mechanism for doing that, but it's modular enough that something like that could probably be constructed.
[02:42:24] <luke-jr> lunaphyte: so how do I get outbound emails automatically "no flush" until my script tells it OK
[02:42:26] <luke-jr> ?
[02:43:44] *** diego_ has quit IRC
[02:44:41] <lunaphyte> off of the top of my head, i think i'd start by looking at delivery transports and defer_transports
[02:45:02] <luke-jr> sounds complex ?
[02:45:05] <luke-jr> oh well, bbiab

[07:13:29] <jeev> i use amavisd-new to do my dkim and stuff

[07:28:15] <SaetheR> this might be simple, but this web server I'm working on keeps trying to locally deliver mail sent to one of the domains it hosts, instead of where the mx record points
[07:28:47] <SaetheR> and the server's hostname isn't the same as the domain the mail is supposed to go to

[07:40:21] <__machine> is it invalid to specify a Return-Path when sending a mail? do i need to leave this blank and allow my smtp host or intermediate hops to add this header?

[08:09:25] <siebo> and the message is never delivered.
[08:13:28] <siebo> any suggestions about how to diagnose this?

[10:26:13] <f3ew> __machine, the Return Path header is added by the remote delivery agent, from the envelope sender
[10:34:29] <__machine> there must be a way to set it... as it is used by many mailing lists etc to automatically remove bounces etc

[10:35:25] <Zonei> Being new to MTAs, I'm trying to understand the process. After Postfix delivers the incoming email into /var/spool/mail/..., what service do I need to allow individual users to login with POP3 and fetch email _from there_? It seems to me dovecot and courier are taking only from Maildir in /home/username, or am I wrong?
[10:40:01] <f3ew> loompek yes
[10:40:17] <loompek> tanks
[10:40:19] <loompek> thanks
[10:40:20] <f3ew> Zonei, dovecot can be configured for either
[10:40:24] <f3ew> #dovecot
[10:40:45] *** Zeit|awy has quit IRC
[10:41:01] <Zonei> f3ew: I'll check it in depth, thanks.
[10:41:34] <Hyperi> uhm
[10:41:37] <Hyperi> Dovecot = <3
[10:41:49] <Hyperi> It's really easy to configure and has lots of automated options.
[10:42:09] <Hyperi> Courier is when you want to spend several sleepless nights to understand it and actually get to work :)
[10:42:15] <Hyperi> Good enough comparison ? :)
[10:42:44] <Hyperi> (And specially courier isn't fully potential for small/medium systems, it was ment to be used on huge corporate sized systems :)
[10:43:03] <Hyperi> Unless you like to hurt yourself and install it for personal usage only ^^
[10:44:15] <Zonei> Hyperi: heh, thanks for the review. ;)
[10:46:50] * f3ew likes Courier
[10:46:53] <f3ew> It's easy
[10:58:54] <Zonei> Speaking of which, any real threats if I don't run postfix chrooted?
[10:59:49] <sysmonk> if there will be some kind of vulnerability your setup might be affected more than the one which is chrooted

[13:31:20] <loompek> google greylisting
[13:31:53] <loompek> that means that recipient's mta returns a 450... and tells the sender's mta to try sending the mail after a few minutes...
[13:31:58] <loompek> 5 minutes usually

[13:36:38] <sunta> hello
[13:37:28] <sunta> is it possible to use 2content_filter? I use spamassassin as content_filter but want to use amavis as 2nd content_filter
[13:39:42] *** change_ has quit IRC
[13:44:02] <sysmonk> o_O
[13:44:15] <sysmonk> sunta: you do know that amavis uses spamassassin?
[13:44:50] <sunta> it can.
[13:46:20] <sunta> I had that before. but I want the $SCORE in the subject. that didnt work when calling spamassassin by amavis if I remeber right
[13:48:05] <sysmonk> dunno, never abused it that way :)
[13:48:32] <sysmonk> anyway, you can't have more than one content filter, but you CAN have a chain of them
[13:48:49] <sysmonk> i.e. you send the mail to sa, then sa sends to amavisd (if sa can work that way)
[13:49:05] <sunta> ok, thats a good hint man
[13:49:12] <sysmonk> or the other way around - mail is sent to amavisd, and amavisd sends it to sa or send it to postfix instance which sends it to sa
[13:49:29] <sunta> have any resource I could read?
[13:49:48] <sysmonk> er, not really
[13:49:57] <sysmonk> maybe somewhere in www.postfix.org/docs.html
[13:50:37] <sunta> i suspected u say that hehe
[13:52:17] <sunta> currently I have content_filter=spamassassin in my master.cf. can I use another content_filter for service-spamassassin within master.cf?
[13:52:46] <sysmonk> no
[13:53:02] <sysmonk> oh i know, look at amavisd documentation
[13:53:11] <sysmonk> it has example how to reinject the mail after the scaning
[13:53:23] <sysmonk> you can then use the spamassassin content_filter for the reinjected smtp instance

[16:05:02] *** McJerry has quit IRC
[16:06:09] <cpm> rosco, for one thing, vacation is a pain in everyone else's rear-end when people use it. back in the day of regular ole mail servers and local accounts, vacation was trivial. times change, now everyone wants all these virtual (read vanity) domains, and zillions of non-local users, and vacation just isn't a big priority, because it's an auto-irritate mechanism, that just increases the useless email floating around.

[17:42:22] <Techdeck> hey fellas, I have the following line in my main.cf -- virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual   --   how do I reload postfix to reread that file without restarting it? I need something like 'newaliases', /etc/init.d/postfix reload didn't work
[17:44:21] <jelly> !postmap
[17:44:22] <knoba> jelly: "postmap" : a command to 'compile' text files to hash databases. Example: a file transport will be converted to transport.db by running 'postmap transport'. Your main.cf will contain something like transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport (without the '.db')
[17:44:56] <Techdeck> do I need to reload postfix after?
[17:45:05] <jelly> tbh I don't know, but I think not
[17:45:37] <Techdeck> hmm, so what do I run exactly? postmap /etc/postfix/virtual ?
[17:46:23] <jelly> that will work, yes

[17:59:54] <cpm> felix-da-catz, if you are just impatient, and can't wait for the qmgr to just do it's job unattended, as it will, if you just leave it alone, you can read man postqueue

[18:00:44] <sirio> 0/act
[18:00:52] <sirio> oops. sry.
[18:02:19] <felix-da-catz> Well here is the problem.  I know about postqueue -f and -r and -p.  But they are processing the emails with old settings in one of my config files. They are not reprocessing the email as if it were a brand new email coming into the system for the first time.
[18:04:08] <felix-da-catz> I basically took dspam out of the equation and am trying to get the emails sent directly to their maildir without going through the dspam server.  But the messages are still trying to go through the dspam server for some reason.
[18:04:42] <felix-da-catz> Ah never mind.  Apparently they have all been sent now
[18:04:54] <felix-da-catz> I used postsuper -r ALL and it seems to have worked properly

[18:29:33] <sanmarcos> I don't need to run my postfix server on 25 right, I can just run it securely on 587 and I will receive emails?
[18:31:56] <brd> uh, no
[18:32:00] <felix-da-catz> No, mail servers communicate on port 25.  If you are talking about sending email from your email client to the mail server on port 587 then that will work.  But mail server to mail server requires port 25
[18:32:17] <brd> 587 is the submission port... i.e. for clients only
[18:32:46] <sanmarcos> ok, so I have to run both
[18:32:55] <sanmarcos> (I mean I just tried gmail to my server and it worked with 587 only)
[18:33:44] <roe_> gmail most definitely did not deliver mail to your mail server on 587
[18:34:13] <sanmarcos> it did, I had 25 closed off at the firewall
[18:36:24] <vice-versa> or so you thought
[18:37:20] <f3ew> closed in the wrong direction :)
[18:38:28] *** mark-use has quit IRC
[18:39:59] <roe_> it would be a violation for gmail to use 587 to deliver mail to another server, no sane mail admin would ever try such a thing
[18:40:17] <roe_> nor should your mail server allow mail to be delivered through 587
[18:40:35] <brd> I wouldn't claim that gmail admins are sane...
[18:41:09] <roe_> perhaps not, but they are at least responsible in so far as their predictability, much more so than hotmail's or msn's mail admins
[18:41:22] <sanmarcos> google has mail administrators?
[18:41:29] <sanmarcos> they actually pay people to run mail servers?
[18:41:45] <brd> sanmarcos: I think they payed someone to write a bot to run the mail servers
[18:42:00] <roe_> brd, they probably built a robot to do it

[20:53:37] <puff> Hi... can somebody give me a little help a) checking my postfix install to make sure I'm not sending backscatter elsewhere,b) blocking incoming backscatter?
[20:54:42] <seekwill> Do you know what backscatter is?
[20:54:53] <seekwill> Blocking incoming backscatter isn't trivial
[20:55:40] <puff> Yeah, I know.
[20:55:46] <puff> But I'm swamped here.
[20:55:55] <puff> I'm more concerned with a), though.
[20:56:16] <puff> First, make sure I'm not inflicting this on somebody else :-)
[20:56:31] <lunaphyte_> not generating backscatter is trivial.
[20:56:39] <puff> Good.
[20:56:41] <lunaphyte_> !tell puff backscatter
[20:56:42] <knoba> puff: -> "backscatter" : http://www.postfix.org/BACKSCATTER_README.html

[20:56:50] *** m1n3s6 has quit IRC
[20:57:03] <puff> However, that doesn't really address question a).
[20:57:31] <lunaphyte_> puff:  the bottom line is very simple.  don't accept mail you can't/won't deliver, and you won't generate backscatter.
[20:57:40] <seekwill> Well, if you know what it is, you know how to try it
[20:58:11] <Techdeck> thanks jelly
[20:58:14] <lunaphyte_> aye, indeed, it doesn't address not generating it.  odd.
[20:58:16] <Techdeck> what you said earlier worked great!
[20:59:00] <puff> lunaphyte_: "Doctor my arm hurts when I do this." "Then don't do that."
[20:59:44] <puff> seekwill: I'm more concerned with what settings I need to check to make sure I don't _send_ backscatter.
[21:00:14] <seekwill> puff: Send yourself a message that will bounce and see if it accepts it and then sends it back to you "i dont want it anymore"
[21:00:59] <seekwill> or if it says "no!" before it accepts

[22:16:35] <kosta> I'm looking for imformation how to block my users to send spam via our smtp server
[22:17:52] <felix-da-catz> smtp authentication maybe?
[22:18:08] <felix-da-catz> are they getting spam bots on their computers or what?

[22:18:56] <brd> unplug their computers :D
[22:19:01] <kosta> :)
[22:19:06] <felix-da-catz> lol that is what I usually do honestly.
[22:19:22] <brd> block their computer from talking to the smtp server int he firewall
[22:19:28] <kosta> right now I working with 4500 > clients
[22:19:49] <brd> you should probably disable their account temporarily
[22:20:03] <kosta> so adding them to firewall is a litle bit hard
[22:20:26] <kosta> probably I will create some scripts to cound emails sended from specific ip
[22:20:30] <felix-da-catz> So would disabling their accounts
[22:20:55] <kosta> and that script will disable their accounts
[22:21:02] <felix-da-catz> Unless it is just one computer every once in a while
[22:21:12] <kosta> or I will add simple firewall rule to block spam from their accounts
[22:21:45] <kosta> problem is that IP addresses are from IP pool so I cant do much with IP blocking
[22:22:09] <brd> do they auth against your servers?
[22:22:16] <felix-da-catz> Only allow submissions on port 587.  UNless the programs are using their settings in Outlook or something.
[22:22:46] <brd> felix-da-catz: IIRC I think most spam virus programs use the API calls in outhouse or outhouse express
[22:23:11] <kosta> Yes. Bots are usually looking into outlook settings

[22:24:11] <felix-da-catz> lol  I don't know enough about them, but thanks for the tips.  :D
[22:25:10] <felix-da-catz> Do you have some examples of the spam emails that are being sent?  Maybe you could put a limit on the number of recipients on the messages.  I don't know if that only works for incoming or outgoing as well.
[22:25:17] <brd> felix-da-catz: I know nearly nothing about them.. and that is too much :)
[22:25:42] <brd> do you scan messages for viruses? with clamav or so?

[22:38:35] <knoba> vice-versa: "pop" : postfix is not a pop or imap server
[22:39:04] <cinderous> so really my issue just lies with dovecot I guess
[22:39:23] <vice-versa> so it seems
[22:39:53] <seekwill> You see the files?
