[01:14:44] <tundra> Hello, I have a postfix server that's working as an MX server that relays email to another server, I want to monitor the account abuse, keep a copy of the emails in the MX server and let the message continue its way to the destination server
[01:14:49] <tundra> does anyone know how can I do that?

[01:24:24] <sahil> tundra: perhaps bcc maps of some sort?
[01:28:38] <tundra> the ISP will write to the abuse account, it will get to the MX, I want to redirect the email to a script to parse and get info from it, and then let it go the abuse inbox on the destination server
[01:29:43] <tundra> The MX is already working and delivering everything on the destination server, but I want to monitor on the MX server the abuse account to get info from it. hotmail will send the junk reports to that account.

[03:47:47] *** Haris_ has quit IRC
[03:49:39] <sahil> pldrouin: what problem exactly are you trying to solve?  give an example.
[03:49:59] <rob0> /usr/sbin/postconf: warning: relay_host: unknown parameter
[03:50:32] <sahil> s/relay_host/relayhost/
[03:50:40] <pldrouin> I meant relayhost
[03:50:58] <rob0> relayhost is unrelated to relay_domains / relay_recipient_maps
[03:51:10] <rob0> !relay_domains
[03:51:11] <knoba> rob0: "relay_domains" : A configuration parameter in the main.cf: What destination domains (and subdomains thereof) this system will receive mail for and will relay mail to. Subdomain matching is controlled with the parent_domain_matches_subdomains parameter. See also !address_classes
[03:51:40] <rob0> relay_domains are domains where you are the MX but not the final destination.
[03:51:59] <pldrouin> I have a backup smtp server that relays emails to the main server for some addresses that I specify using relay_domains and relay_recipient_maps
[03:52:15] <rob0> anyway, please answer sahil ...
[03:52:36] <pldrouin> I specify the main server via relayhost
[03:52:42] <rob0> um, sounds like you need transport_maps
[03:52:56] <rob0> usually you do, with relay_domains
[03:53:15] <pldrouin> But I would like avoiding using the main server when I send emails to other addresses from mynetworks
[03:54:33] *** hparker has joined #postfix
[03:55:21] <pldrouin> rob0: So does it mean that I would not need relayhost at all?
[03:56:28] <rob0> !relayhost
[03:56:29] <knoba> rob0: "relayhost" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: The default host to send non-local mail to when no entry is matched in the optional transport(5) table. When no relayhost is given, mail is routed directly to the destination. If your relay host requires authentication see the !saslclient channel factoid.
[03:56:55] <rob0> if you're in bad or dynamic IP netspace, you need a relayhost
[03:56:56] <pldrouin> My backup server is not the final destination, but it is listed as a MX and I want it to relay emails that match relay_domains and relay_recipient_maps to the main server
[03:57:12] <rob0> !fcrdns
[03:57:12] <knoba> rob0: "fcrdns" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_Confirmed_reverse_DNS : $myhostname should resolve to your IP address, which in turn should resolve to $myhostname. This is very important if you want big sites to accept your mail. If you can't have it from your ISP, see !relayhost .
[03:57:13] <pldrouin> nope, I have a static IP and reverse DNS
[03:57:17] <rob0> ok
[03:57:30] <rob0> then no, you probably do not need a relayhost
[03:58:21] <pldrouin> So how will the backup server know which server is the final destination for the matching domains/addresses?
[03:58:49] <pldrouin> Suppose I have more than 2 servers listed as MX
[03:59:05] <pldrouin> but that only one is the final destination
[03:59:10] <rob0> 02:54 < rob0> um, sounds like you need transport_maps
[03:59:14] <rob0> 02:54 < rob0> usually you do, with relay_domains
[03:59:53] <pldrouin> ok, so in transport_maps I can specify which server to relay mail to for relay_domains?
[04:00:22] <cite> Good morning.
[04:00:23] <rob0> see transport.5.html ("man 5 transport")
[04:00:47] <rob0> you're up early, cite :)
[04:01:08] <cite> I' always up around 4. This way at least I get some things done befor the meetings statr ;-)
[04:01:31] <pldrouin> I guess this is what I need: relay_transport (default: relay:)
[04:01:31] <pldrouin>               This  is  the default for remote delivery to domains listed with
[04:01:31] <pldrouin>               relay_domains. In order of decreasing  precedence,  the  nexthop
[04:01:31] <pldrouin>               destination   is   taken   from  relay_transport,  sender_depen-
[04:01:31] <pldrouin>               dent_relayhost_maps, relayhost, or from the recipient domain.
[04:02:18] *** m1n3s6 has joined #postfix
[04:12:25] <pldrouin> So in main.cf, I have commented out the line about relayhost, and I have added the following line:
[04:12:40] <pldrouin> relay_transport = smtp:smtp.myserver.com
[04:12:47] <pldrouin> Does it look right to you?
[04:13:20] <rob0> [] brackets to inhibit MX lookup of smtp.myserver.com
[04:14:16] <pldrouin> sorry, I did not know that trick. Where should I put the brackets? Like this: [smtp.myserver.com] ?

[05:15:29] <devdas> or postsuper -d ALL, depending on what you mean by flush

[05:22:31] <Dominian> well if you got a 250 OK.. then it took the messages

[06:58:32] <Haris1> well, postfix should deliver those mails to the relevant mailbox
[06:58:46] <Haris1> does that mean, amavis is not returning a status of good or bad?
[06:59:00] <deface> yeah, postfix is handing it over to amavis
[06:59:19] <deface> warning: SASL: Connect to smtpd failed: No such file or directory <-- looks like a messed up chroot
[06:59:36] <Haris1> na.. right now I'm worried only abou the amavis problem
[06:59:44] <Haris1> why isn't mail comming back from amavis .. hmm

[07:01:01] <Haris1> mc2 = postfix, msc3 = amavis box
[07:01:12] <deface> is that necessary ?
[07:01:21] <Haris1> yes
[07:01:21] <deface> whats your expected load ?
[07:01:29] <Haris1> 1000- 18K mailboxes
[07:01:34] <Haris1> 1000 - 18K mailboxes
[07:01:41] <deface> z\: yes, and i answered

[07:02:34] <z\> how do i reload postfix? isnt it just a reboot? /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix restart?
[07:02:36] <deface> mailbox count means nothing, its a message count you'd have to worry about
[07:02:46] <deface> reload
[07:02:50] <deface> postfix reload
[07:03:25] <Haris1> well
[07:03:35] <Haris1> visualize the traffic for that many mailboxes =)
[07:03:57] <Haris1> I expect more than 1000 messages every 5 mins.
[07:04:04] <deface> relying on 1 server to host 18k mailboxes isn't recommended
[07:04:07] <z\> done, how about this Nov 28 12:08:20 freebsd dovecot: POP3(syntax at freebsd dot mindgate.net): mail_location: mbox: mkdir(/mail) failed: Permission denied

[07:04:21] <Haris1> deface: You'r side tracking from the original issue at hand :[
[07:04:28] <deface> unless your on some type of dfs, loosing that many mailboxes .. nasty
[07:04:38] <Haris1> deface: postfix and amavis are hosted on seperate boxes right now
[07:04:43] *** dan__t has joined #postfix
[07:04:47] <deface> Haris1: fix delivery, then i'll fix amavis :)
[07:04:52] <deface> i already told you what to look for

[07:04:54] <knoba> deface: "chroot" : The fifth column in master.cf, if not n , means that the Postfix process described on that line runs in a chroot, see !debug , !queue_directory and files in the examples/chroot-setup subdirectory of the Postfix source archive which show examples of a Postfix chroot environment on a variety of systems
[07:05:21] <z\> is the chroot for me?
[07:05:29] <Haris1> I HATE .. chroot
[07:05:31] <deface> z\: check permissions on your delivery dir
[07:05:36] <deface> z\ no
[07:05:39] <Haris1> I'm not implementing chroot =)
[07:05:55] <deface> Haris1: postconf -n & your master.cf please
[07:06:04] <z\> deface sorry to be a dumb dumb, but where could that be?> the delivery dir?
[07:06:12] <z\> syntax doesnt exist as a user
[07:06:23] <z\> im trying to setup a virtual user/domain mail server..
[07:06:27] <deface> z\: in your dovecot config
[07:06:37] <z\> following this steps http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=11
[07:07:01] <deface> z\: so you either missed a step, or there wrong
[07:07:49] <Haris1> http://rafb.net/p/IhsM9V84.html
[07:08:03] <z\> been trying to install a mail server on this box for a couple of times tho.
[07:08:12] <z\> all of them wont work.
[07:08:42] <UQlev> z\: your link is to postfixadmin not to a postfix itself
[07:09:25] <Haris1> there's nothing wrong with postfix config or master.cf
[07:09:33] <Haris1> as the paste shows
[07:09:53] <Haris1> maybe I should change 127.0.0.1:10025 to public-IP:10025 ?
[07:10:01] <Haris1> in master.cf
[07:10:09] <z\> UQlev what do you mean?
[07:10:42] <UQlev> z\: have you got problem installing postfix or postfixadmin?
[07:11:06] <Haris1> I just need a clue where I'm going wrong
[07:12:47] <deface> Haris1: what does forward_method in amavisd.conf look like ?
[07:13:27] <z\> well i did screwed up before i tried to install postfix from a source not from the ports
[07:13:40] <z\> then i installed one from the ports
[07:13:56] <z\> it was successfull same with postfixadmin -- the installation
[07:13:56] <Haris1> # grep method 20-debian_defaults
[07:13:56] <Haris1> $forward_method = 'smtp:[212.110.95.8]:25';
[07:13:56] <Haris1> $notify_method = 'smtp:[212.110.95.8]:10025';
[07:14:13] <Haris1> I have to restart amavis to enable $notify_method
[07:15:38] <Haris1> as far as I think, postfix via master.cf is listening on 127.0.0.1:10025, while amavis is expecting it to listen on 212.110.95.8:10025 ?
[07:16:10] <Haris1> so when amavis contacts 95.8 to send it back the mail, it gets connection refused, rather than postfix at the other side
[07:16:37] <Haris1> what is 451 error?
[07:16:41] <deface> i dont use amavis, but thats possible
[07:16:54] <deface> server convif error
[07:16:59] <deface> config*
[07:17:03] <Haris1> 451 	Requested action aborted: local error in processing
[07:17:12] <Haris1> that means something's wrong with postfix's config
[07:17:25] <deface> yeah, your smtpd is jacked
[07:17:29] <Haris1> since amavis log says -> Nov 28 08:02:41 msc3 amavis[9125]: (09125-01-5) (!)FWD via SMTP: <root at mc2 dot mol.com.mk> -> <root at mc2 dot mol.com.mk>, 451 4.5.0 From MTA([212.110.95.8]:25) during fwd-connect (Negative greeting:  at (eval 53) line 442, <GEN24> line 12136.): id=09125-01-5
[07:17:39] <z\> UQlev.. what should i do?
[07:17:46] <Haris1> Ok, so what could be wrong with postfix config? hmm
[07:17:50] <deface> warning: SASL: Connect to smtpd failed: No such file or directory
[07:18:41] <Haris1> let me fix this
[07:18:44] <deface> 212.110.95.8 25
[07:18:46] <deface> gives no greeting
[07:20:21] <Haris1> does it need to?
[07:21:04] <Haris1> let me change that back to 10025
[07:23:37] <deface> yes
[07:23:46] <deface> smtp needs to respond to a helo/ehlo
[07:25:14] <Haris1> how do I enable it?
[07:25:21] <Haris1> I can one setting for banner, one for helo
[07:25:27] <Haris1> which one is need?
[07:25:29] <Haris1> the banner?
[07:25:50] <deface> yah

[07:31:14] <rob0> devdas: how's it going?
[07:31:30] <Haris1> you'v seen my postconf -n and master.cf
[07:31:35] <Haris1> delivery should! be working!
[07:31:36] <devdas> Friends and family are still alive
[07:31:41] <rob0> good :)
[07:31:47] <Haris1> what do you mean, still alive?
[07:31:52] <Haris1> you expect to be bombed?
[07:31:53] <rob0> He's in Mumbai
[07:32:14] <Haris1> ah, I'm totally perplexed about why that happened in Mumbai
[07:32:32] <deface> Haris1: delivery may be working, but your handing off to amavis
[07:32:32] <Haris1> sure there's alot of injustice there, but the BBC report said, the perpetrators were after foreigners only
[07:33:01] <Haris1> something's not right about that news
[07:33:18] <rob0> Haris1: I haven't seen the postconf / master.cf, but I have a guess ...
[07:33:33] <Haris1> ?
[07:33:43] <rob0> ... the reinjection smtpd doesn't have the amavisd host in $mynetworks
[07:33:51] *** Fallenou has joined #postfix
[07:34:21] <deface> rob0: amavis is blocking, not postfix
[07:34:40] <Haris1> rob0: There are two things regarding that
[07:35:13] <Haris1> one, why is it needed to run on 127.0.0.1:10025 rather than 212.110.95.8:10025? Since amavis box won't be able to connect to it, in that case
[07:35:34] <Haris1> secondly, I did have it there, only with a wrong , in between, I just removed that and restarted postfix
[07:35:50] <Haris1>  -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8 212.110.95.0/26
[07:36:07] <rob0> "Blocked MTA-BLOCKED", I am thinking that the reinjection smtpd is rejecting it.
[07:36:26] <rob0> can't have a space in -o options
[07:36:44] <rob0> a comma should work
[07:36:58] <deface> lol
[07:37:16] <Haris1> someone here told me
[07:37:19] <Haris1> the space is needed
[07:37:28] <Haris1> jra I think told me
[07:37:33] <rob0> the space will break it.
[07:37:47] <Haris1> without space the line is a logic line
[07:37:56] <Haris1> and with space it continues the first line
[07:37:58] <Haris1> something like that
[07:38:08] <Haris1> does that make sense?
[07:38:14] <rob0> the space will break it.

[08:47:27] <recon1025> hello everyone
[08:47:59] <recon1025> im trying to supress postfix "access denied" messages from being generated due to a reject match that would be found in either sender_access or recipients
[08:48:05] *** madrescher has joined #postfix
[08:48:07] <recon1025> your help would be greatly appreciate
[08:48:09] <recon1025> your help would be greatly appreciated
[08:49:12] <recon1025> ive been scouring the documentation for an answer invain :/
[08:49:43] <devdas> recon1025, why?
[08:50:48] <recon1025> because we do have some customers who keep sending to specific addresses that we decided to block due to spam
[08:50:59] <recon1025> but we would like to supress these messages before they become problematic
[08:51:07] <recon1025> in terms of filling up our queue
[08:51:22] <devdas> If the mail is rejected, then there is no queue entry at all
[08:51:41] <recon1025> err that's correct but a resopnse will be sent to the person trying to send an email
[08:51:49] <recon1025> and if he sends 100 emails, that's a 100 responses with "access denied"
[08:52:42] <recon1025> we would simply like to supress these messages and if customer is wondering what's going on, he can call us up and we'll be happy to explain
[08:52:46] <recon1025> is this a limitation in postfix?
[08:53:14] *** phnord has joined #postfix
[08:54:20] <recon1025> hmm.. a reponse does have to enter the queue
[08:54:23] <recon1025> here's how
[08:54:34] <recon1025> user sends an email and that users is on sender_access with a deny match
[08:54:41] <recon1025> so that decision is made before his email enters the que
[08:54:43] <recon1025> however
[08:54:49] <recon1025> a response does get sent back to that user
[08:54:56] <recon1025> and that response enters the queue
[08:55:01] <recon1025> and that's what we have a problem with
[08:55:06] <devdas> the response is generated by his/her server
[08:55:15] <devdas> not your Postfix
[08:55:17] <recon1025> how so?
[08:55:23] <recon1025> oh

[10:26:33] <kiuma> hello
[10:28:44] <kiuma> I have two domains, a .it and a .com
[10:29:38] <kiuma> currently the .it is unavailable, I used postgresql to create a virtual domain.
[10:29:59] <wdp> Oo
[10:30:10] <kiuma> I'd like the my address for .com be an alias for .it
[10:30:31] <kiuma> all .com domain be an alias for .it
[10:30:37] <wdp> atm i don't get how this is related to postfix.
[10:30:44] <kiuma> how can I do
[10:31:01] <kiuma> It's a postfix configuration, isn't it
[10:31:22] <wdp> you want that all mailaddresses of the .com domain are an alias of the same mailaddress at the .it domain?
[10:31:24] <kiuma> I don't know how to do, can anybody explain me how to do ?
[10:31:44] <kiuma> wdp: yes
[10:32:02] *** mark-use has joined #postfix
[10:32:05] <wdp> so what transport are you using? local, virtual.. ?
[10:32:17] <kiuma> I'm trying so send emails with gmail, but I see nothing
[10:32:29] <kiuma> virtual
[10:33:12] <wdp> you're storing addresses, domains and aliases in a database?
[10:33:21] <kiuma> correct
[10:33:28] <wdp> s/addresses/mailboxes
[10:33:40] <kiuma> only wingstech.it
[10:33:53] <wdp> so you just add an alias from thatsme at yourdomain dot com to thatsme at yourdomain dot it
[10:34:01] <wdp> and i bet you did that already, correct?
[10:34:01] <kiuma> let me pastebin some select results

[10:38:03] <wdp> ye i have a similar setup.
[10:38:59] <wdp> for what do you have "destination"
[10:39:00] <wdp> ?
[10:39:12] <kiuma> where do I have to see ?
[10:39:23] <wdp>           address             |        goto        |    domain    |    destination     |            created            |           modified            | active
[10:39:55] <kiuma> table ?
[10:40:15] <wdp> alias table. i don't know for what you have the field "destination". Anyway.
[10:40:25] <wdp> Can u pastebin the Postfix SQL script?
[10:41:16] <kiuma> I don't know if I already have it, let me check (it's a gentoo installation)
[10:42:34] <wdp> http://pastebin.ca/1269227
[10:43:18] <wdp> look in your main.cf for the config file you're using to access your sql aliases db
[10:44:03] <wdp> if not there.. probably use my pastebin as example
[10:44:21] <kiuma> http://pastebin.ca/1269230

[12:58:13] <reisi> could someone clarify main.cf setting "relay_domains", are "strangers" clients connecting outside "mynetworks" setting?
[13:00:11] *** devdas has quit IRC
[13:02:15] <Roobarb> reisi: relay_domains is the list of domains you will relay mail for.
[13:03:01] <Roobarb> mynetworks is the list of networks (or hosts) from which the permit_mynetworks smtpd_mumble_restrictions restriction will not block mail from
[13:03:33] <reisi> Roobarb: hmm relaying would mean my postfix would be serving as a mail gateway?
[13:03:45] <Roobarb> yes
[13:03:57] <Roobarb> but only for domains you specify
[13:03:58] *** BuenGenio has quit IRC
[13:04:03] *** BuenGenio has joined #postfix
[13:04:15] <reisi> Roobarb: ok, thanks .. i guess i'm starting to get the picture bit by bit
[13:04:18] <Roobarb> typically you'd also have transport_maps entries for those domains
[13:05:51] <reisi> could anyone comment on my plan to have our internet gateway (also running httpd) to do run postfix to relay mail to and from our organization.. actual mail folders would be on an another server and that'd be running postfix also
[13:07:49] <jtreglos> I have a postfix on a box that is only used by a web app on the same box to send emails to the outside world. My problem is that the emails on the same domain name as the box are kept by the postfix, instead of being sent outside where they should go... How could I tell the postfix not to keep any email, even those from the same domain ?
[13:08:09] <Roobarb> reisi: a single mail gateway is fairly common
[13:08:41] <reisi> Roobarb: you mean i should just keep all mail-related on the one and only server?
[13:08:58] <Roobarb> jtreglos: configure mydestination appropriatly
[13:09:34] <Roobarb> reisi: you can if you wish; its quite a common configuration
[13:09:36] <jtreglos> Roobarb: ok, what value should it have ?
[13:10:43] <Roobarb> jtreglos: as a guess, *not* your hostname
[13:10:45] *** denis_ has quit IRC
[13:10:56] <efphe> i'm setting up a MTA gateway. it has to use always two relay hosts: each mail has to be forwarded on two different places, without modifying it. how can i achieve this?
[13:11:00] *** denis_ has joined #postfix
[13:11:02] <jtreglos> lol, ok, so any other value would do ?
[13:11:12] <reisi> Roobarb: in my org we have quite limited resources for system administration, and i thought separating actual mail-hosting server and the open-to-internet process might be good idea to make our systems a bit more secure
[13:11:19] <Roobarb> jtreglos: probably just 127.0.0.1 is sufficient
[13:11:23] <jtreglos> ok
[13:11:28] <jtreglos> thanks :)
[13:11:46] <Roobarb> reisi: yes, most people separate the two, but can run it all on just one box if you want
[13:12:12] <Roobarb> jtreglos: although where do you expect that mail to actuall go?
[13:13:13] <reisi> Roobarb: separating is what i'm aming for, so i guess head back to docs..
[13:13:22] <jtreglos> Roobarb: the mail server that should really receive those emails is outside the box, managed by an outside provider
[13:13:43] <Roobarb> jtreglos: what is mydomains set to?
[13:13:52] <jtreglos> lemme check
[13:15:17] <jtreglos> you mean mydomain, singular right ? it is set to the domain name of the box
[13:15:45] <Roobarb> mydenstination, sorry
[13:15:53] <jtreglos> oh ok
[13:16:10] * Roobarb getting hungry
[13:16:15] <jtreglos> hehe
[13:16:17] <jtreglos> mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
[13:16:51] <efphe> is it possible to split each mail on multiple relay hosts?
[13:17:05] <Roobarb> ok, so your web content is sending mails with something@$mydomain or something@$mynostname ?
[13:17:16] <Roobarb> efphe: ?
[13:17:33] <jtreglos> yep
[13:18:41] *** BuenGenio_ has joined #postfix
[13:18:45] <efphe> Roobarb, i need to send each mail to two different MTA. I have the host GW which is an internal MTA: it has to send each mail received to MTA1 and MTA2
[13:18:52] <jtreglos> oops sorry that was a question that needed a real answer :p
[13:19:04] <jtreglos> well lemme check
[13:19:09] <efphe> in `relayhost` i can specify a unique host
[13:19:27] <efphe> but i need to forward mails on two relay hosts
[13:19:41] <efphe> always, not depending on sender and so on
[13:19:58] <jtreglos> ok, myhostname is commented, so I guess it gets its value from the system
[13:20:31] *** sophokles has quit IRC
[13:20:44] *** mjh has joined #postfix
[13:20:45] <efphe> Roobarb, do you know if this is possible?
[13:21:13] <jtreglos> so I don't know the value of myhostname, but the emails sent by the app that don't arrive are those like something at domain dot tld
[13:21:42] <jtreglos> or if you prefer, something@$mydomain
[13:23:21] *** sophokles has joined #postfix
[13:23:24] <Roobarb> efphe: you mean you want to send one mail, twice, via two routes, so the recipient gets two copies?
[13:25:31] <Roobarb> jtreglos: postfix will be looking to sent those to the MX for $mydomain then
[13:25:50] <efphe> recipients won't get mail twice (i have another hack behind). I mean each mail has to be forwarded to two different MTA which handle both the same domain
[13:27:08] *** m1n3s6 has quit IRC
[13:27:11] <efphe> obviously i will use brackets to specify the relay hosts: i have to specify their IPs
[13:27:27] <efphe> so for example i have the domain foo.bar
[13:27:29] <jtreglos> Roobarb: hum, the problem is, that's not happening
[13:27:44] <Roobarb> efphe: you haven't quite answered my question; do you want two messages to be created, or are you looking to use relay2 if relay1 is down?
[13:27:56] <efphe> sorry, the first
[13:28:15] <efphe> messages have to be `doubled`
[13:28:59] <Roobarb> efphe: I can't really see why you'd want that, but recipient_bcc_maps may help you
[13:29:24] <efphe> no Roobarb i can't change mail, nor use bcc and so on
[13:29:36] <efphe> i simply need to send one mail to 1.1.1.1 and to 1.1.1.2
[13:29:45] <Roobarb> efphe: then postfix cannot help you. it won't magically duplicte mail
[13:29:50] *** BuenGenio has quit IRC

[13:30:47] <Roobarb> efphe: Im curious; why would you want such behaviour?

[13:44:05] *** UQlev has quit IRC
[13:48:20] *** BuenGenio_ has quit IRC
[13:48:31] <wdp> efphe, you could write a postfix daemon for it
[13:49:41] <wdp> which is recieving the mail and sending it using sendmail or something (not posfix itself) to other mailservers
[13:50:02] <wdp> though i don't know HOW exactly, nor i understand why someone wants this.
[13:50:02] *** saurabhb has quit IRC
[13:50:08] <wdp> i bet exim won't help you either.
[13:50:27] <wdp> thats just not how it works.

[14:03:24] <efphe> wdp, i have a LAN with a poor connection
[14:03:35] <efphe> the connection is often broken

[14:04:11] <efphe> and they can't rely on lan internet connection
[14:04:21] <efphe> so they want a external webmail
[14:04:34] <efphe> so they want *also* a external webmail
[14:04:44] <reisi> Roobarb: you don't happen to remember any good howtos on building 2xpostfix arch? :)
[14:04:48] <wdp> and u wanna store the same mails on two different servers
[14:04:59] <wdp> or?
[14:06:14] <munga> can't you just use offlineimap to backup your email ?
[14:07:25] * Roobarb would pick the more reliable server and host all mail on that
[14:07:52] <Roobarb> or fix the root cause of your problem - a flaky network

[14:09:00] <wdp> Roobarb, probably thats not possible, thats why he's asking.
[14:09:03] <wdp> Roobarb, :)
[14:09:33] <efphe> i can't make another choice
[14:09:34] <Roobarb> wdp: I guess that depends on the problem
[14:09:37] <efphe> i have to do that
[14:09:51] <Roobarb> efphe: deliver to one mailbox and rsync to the other
[14:09:53] <efphe> i'm working for a company and that's what they want
[14:10:00] <efphe> Roobarb, i can't
[14:10:05] <Roobarb> because?
[14:10:13] <efphe> the webmail is not under my control
[14:10:13] <wdp> efphe, then just tell them: thats not possible.
[14:10:21] <efphe> wdp, no
[14:10:30] <efphe> from a technical point of view
[14:10:48] <efphe> this should be a possible thing, maybe coding something with twisted
[14:10:51] <wdp> from a technical point of view this is just not how mail should work
[14:11:05] <Roobarb> recipient_bcc_maps
[14:11:08] <efphe> wdp, that's not a reqriting of mail rfc
[14:11:17] <efphe> *rewriting*
[14:11:26] <efphe> this is another thing
[14:11:56] <efphe> i'm not pretending to discuss mail protocols
[14:11:59] <wdp> Roobarb, is it possible with postfix's sendmail to just send mails to a ip?
[14:12:12] <wdp> Roobarb, if so he could write a lil external postfix service using a bash script or something :p
[14:12:21] <Roobarb> there are many ways to duplicate one maibox to another server, but I wouldn't force postfix to do it
[14:12:21] <efphe> wdp, yes
[14:12:28] <efphe> i'm thinking abount this chance
[14:12:47] <efphe> Roobarb, some good ideas?
[14:13:06] <Roobarb> rsync, DRBD, scp  etc
[14:13:31] <Roobarb> your problem is one of data replication, not duplicating delivery
[14:13:31] <efphe> i can't use these
[14:13:36] <wdp> efphe, another thing would be probably using fetchmail.
[14:13:37] <efphe> yes
[14:13:52] <efphe> but to achieve data replication i have to use duplicating delivery
[14:13:57] <wdp> the webmail server could fetch mails without removing from the mailserver.
[14:14:03] <efphe> because i have no control on the remote hose
[14:14:06] <efphe> *host*
[14:17:13] <reisi> is MTA (postfix) or MDA (in my case, dovecot) responsible for saving mail into files?
[14:18:25] <reisi> hmm to reply my own question it's MTA.. how do I configure it to use Maildir format?
[14:19:05] <Roobarb> home_mailbox = Maildir/
[14:19:13] <Roobarb> the trailing / is the key
[14:19:38] <reisi> hmm ok, thanks again. apologies for these stupid question though
[14:20:00] <Roobarb> there are no supid questions
[14:20:08] <reisi> only stupid askers :)
[14:20:19] <Roobarb> there are stupid askers, if they ask more than once
[14:20:25] *** mark-use has quit IRC
[14:21:04] <munga> with postfix maybe this can be done writing a smtp transport agent that then will send email to two servers in parallel
[14:24:06] <reisi> how does postfix determine wheter $USER exists on my.org? does it simply test if it can retrieve user info through NSS?
[14:24:19] *** Nockian_ has quit IRC
[14:25:16] <efphe> it seems exim can do that with the unseen option
[14:25:24] <efphe> ie you can specify multiple routes
[14:25:30] <efphe> (two in this case)
[14:26:18] <efphe> adding unseen on a route option does not break the delivery work
[14:26:26] <efphe> so exim goes to the next route
[14:26:45] <Roobarb> I will point out that the people in this channel do not know everything about postfix; for a definitive answer, ask on the postfix-users mailing list
[14:27:00] <sysmonk> Roobarb: lies!!!!
[14:27:05] <sysmonk> knoba knows everything!
[14:27:13] <reisi> :)
[14:27:49] <sysmonk> reisi: depends on lot of things
[14:27:58] <sysmonk> reisi: i.e. first of all, are you using virtual or local
[14:29:46] <reisi> sysmonk: local i believe
[14:30:15] <reisi> sysmonk: currently configuring the server that is to host imap service, another postfix will be at our internet gateway, open to net
[14:30:40] <sysmonk> efphe: there's no direct way of doing what you want in postfix, but you can use a workaround with bcc's
[14:30:43] <sysmonk> !always_bcc
[14:30:44] <knoba> sysmonk: "always_bcc" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: Optional address that receives a "blind carbon copy" of each message that is received by the Postfix mail system.
[14:30:45] <sysmonk> efphe: ^^
[14:31:23] <sysmonk> reisi: with local, postfix uses the local_recipient_maps in the SMTP stage
[14:31:38] <reisi> sysmonk: oki, i look in to that then, thanks
[14:31:40] <sysmonk> and, after passing those, if the mail is queued, the 'local' delivery agent looks up the user in nss
[14:31:45] <sysmonk> if the user doesn't exist - it bounces
[14:32:25] <sysmonk> efphe: woops, i forgot to say 'AFAIK' :)
[14:32:50] <reisi> ok.. hmm surprisingly i was able to send myself mail already, with telnet :)
[14:35:58] <reisi> sysmonk: so in my gateway server, where the open-to-internet postfix will reside, it's "virtual" configuration, i need to proxy those username checks from the "real" mailserver
[14:36:31] <sysmonk> reisi: will it only relay?
[14:36:55] <reisi> sysmonk: both in and out from our organization, i guess it matches that term?
[14:37:12] <reisi> sysmonk: it'll be the one matching MX record
[14:37:31] <sysmonk> reisi: so you need to use it as relay_domains
[14:37:40] <sysmonk> and you can have the checks done against relay_recipient_maps
[14:37:43] <sysmonk> !relay_domains
[14:37:43] <knoba> sysmonk: "relay_domains" : A configuration parameter in the main.cf: What destination domains (and subdomains thereof) this system will receive mail for and will relay mail to. Subdomain matching is controlled with the parent_domain_matches_subdomains parameter. See also !address_classes
[14:37:45] <sysmonk> !relay_recipient_maps
[14:37:46] <knoba> sysmonk: "relay_recipient_maps" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: Optional lookup tables with all valid addresses in the domains that match $relay_domains. Specify @domain as a wild-card for domains that do not have a valid recipient list.
[14:37:46] *** Nockian has joined #postfix
[14:38:16] *** BuenGenio_ has joined #postfix
[14:38:40] <sysmonk> and also you might be interested in reject_unverified_recipient
[14:38:44] <sysmonk> !reject_unverified_recipient
[14:38:45] <knoba> sysmonk: "reject_unverified_recipient" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: A sender or recipient address is verified by probing the nearest MTA for that address, without actually delivering mail. Probe messages are like normal mail, except that they are never delivered, deferred or bounced; probe messages are discarded.
[14:39:57] <reisi> sysmonk: oh so when my gw's smtp is contacted by other smtp outside our org, it'll simultaniously start feeding the message to the "real mailserver", and if it says unknown recipient it'll fail instantly
[14:40:15] *** BuenGenio has quit IRC
[14:40:16] <sysmonk> reisi: not really.
[14:40:44] <sysmonk> reisi: depends on what method you choose ( the reject_unverified_recipient or relay_domains + relay_recipient_maps)
[14:41:12] <sysmonk> with reject_unverified_recipient, it wil halt the connection and connect to your 'real server' and try to look if the recipient exists
[14:41:17] <sysmonk> and cache the results
[14:41:27] <sysmonk> and if it exists - accept the mail, queue, and send to your real server
[14:41:31] <sysmonk> if it doesn't - reject
[14:41:35] <reisi> sysmonk: hmm latter that sounds more easily manageable?
[14:41:58] <reisi> sysmonk: that way i don't need to configure gw to do any ldap/alias lookups
[14:42:00] <sysmonk> if it takes too long - reject with temp failure, the next time the server will connect (and it SHOULD do that) - it will already have the results cached
[14:42:16] <sysmonk> with relay_domains/relay_recipient_maps you'll have the full map already, so it'll check against that map
[14:42:45] <sysmonk> reisi: ah, the next server has everything in ldap? then you can have the relay_recipient_maps with ldap:/
[14:43:14] <sysmonk> !address_verification_readme
[14:43:14] <knoba> sysmonk: Error: "address_verification_readme" is not a valid command.
[14:43:20] <sysmonk> reisi: http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html
[14:43:29] <sysmonk> if you're interested in the reject_unverified_recipient solution
[14:44:03] <reisi> sysmonk: ok i'll look into these both, thanks mate very much.. there's quite much to learn about smtp -- not that it surprised me though :)
[14:44:47] <sysmonk> reisi: smtp stands for SIMPLE mail transport protocol, so there isn't much about smtp :) *cough*
[14:44:57] <reisi> hate to rush this but the current server is set up so badly it might have got owned who-knows many times before, and i just arrived here :D
[14:45:36] <sysmonk> reisi: usually the question isn't 'is it owned?' but 'when was it owned, and why dont we know about it yet?' :P
[14:46:19] <reisi> sysmonk: i have to assume the worst, i'll do forensics later.. as a bonus, raid is already sending me messages it's about to fall apart :D

[19:27:53] <jeev> shit
[19:27:54] <hyper_ch> why?
[19:28:03] <hyper_ch> and the problem is....?
[19:28:06] <jeev> cause the server actually is being
[19:28:10] <jeev> moved from one datacenter to another
[19:28:18] <jeev> problem?
[19:28:33] <jeev> i guess a lot of accounts have a years worth of email in there
[19:28:44] <hyper_ch> so, the server itself will just be moved
[19:28:50] <jeev> yea
[19:28:51] <hyper_ch> but not deleted or something=?
[19:28:55] <jeev> i should really move them to west coast
[19:28:56] <jeev> yea
[19:28:59] <jeev> down for 18-24 hours though
[19:29:16] <hyper_ch> jeev: why not make a backup server then that will collect the emails meanwhile?
[19:29:50] <hyper_ch> jeev: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_backup_mx
[19:29:53] <jeev> one thing i never understood was
[19:29:59] <jeev> how do you get your clients to download from the back up server?
[19:30:11] <hyper_ch> you don't
[19:30:23] <hyper_ch> only mail will be delivered there while the actual server is offline
[19:30:32] <hyper_ch> so no incoming email will be lost
[19:31:00] <jeev> i realize that
[19:31:12] <jeev> but then will the back up server deliver it back to the server when it's back ?
[19:31:18] <jeev> or do th e people have to point over pop/imap
[19:31:21] <jeev> to the back up server
[19:32:07] <hyper_ch> jeev: as far as I understand it, it will then put the mail onto the main server again once it comes back online
[19:32:18] <jeev> really?
[19:32:20] <jeev> i dont think so
[19:32:22] <jeev> hnm
[19:32:46] <hyper_ch> jeev: well, ask in the howtoforge forums.... Falko normally is very helpful on such questions :)
[19:33:22] <hyper_ch> jeev: actually: [quote]In this tutorial I will show how you can set up a Postfix mailserver as a backup mail exchanger for a domain so that it accepts mails for this domain in case the primary mail exchanger is down or unreachable, and passes the mails on to the primary MX once that one is up again.
