Postfix will retry it. [08:02:17] <ChrisC35> ya i should put customers that want to do this on their own ip, and put them in a VM and send from that [08:02:45] <ChrisC35> or can a mail server on an IP use different ip's for different accounts? [08:03:19] <PatrickDK> ChrisC35, the way I do it is with sender based transport [08:03:40] <ChrisC35> how is that done? [08:03:48] <PatrickDK> so senders email addresses I put in my db, get routed to the mailserver that is listed for them [08:04:23] <PatrickDK> sender_dependent_relayhost_maps [08:04:29] <ChrisC35> but i would have to have a separate mail server on its own machine, using its own ip then right? [08:04:42] <PatrickDK> not really [08:04:46] <ChrisC35> if I wanted to use a specific ip for mail from that customer's domain? [08:04:51] <ChrisC35> or I could use VMs? [08:04:56] <PatrickDK> what you need is a different postfix mailqueue, and bind the smtp to a different ip [08:05:10] <PatrickDK> I personally have 8 postfix's all installed on the same vm [08:05:13] <ChrisC35> on the same server then, i can share those? [08:05:22] <ChrisC35> cool [08:05:48] <PatrickDK> there is several config changes you have to do for that [08:06:00] <ChrisC35> but if I set up a new IP for them to send mail on, but the domain is still the same, it will still inherit the same reputation? [08:06:04] <PatrickDK> mainly setting ip's for everything, and different mailqueues [08:06:26] <PatrickDK> it's an rbl list [08:06:34] <PatrickDK> rbl's create reputations via ip [08:06:47] <ChrisC35> you'd think they'd use domain [08:06:52] <PatrickDK> how broad of a ip block gets affected depends on them [08:06:57] <ChrisC35> then all you have to do is change the ip to get around it [08:07:01] <PatrickDK> using domain is almost impossible [08:07:13] <PatrickDK> people do it [08:07:19] <ChrisC35> oh they will block a whole range of IP's [08:07:19] <PatrickDK> but it isn't hardly as reliable [08:07:29] <PatrickDK> some block whole ip ranges [08:07:43] <PatrickDK> normally people don't ever use those rbl's [08:07:48] <PatrickDK> cause they block too much ligit stuff [08:08:02] <ChrisC35> well i guess shaw is using it [08:08:15] <PatrickDK> shaw should be using their own list [08:08:20] <PatrickDK> or paying someone for their list [08:08:34] <ChrisC35> most of these emails not getting thru seem to be shaw.ca [08:09:23] <PatrickDK> hotmail is always fun when they ban you :) [08:09:29] <PatrickDK> they ban you for 4 hours [08:09:43] <ChrisC35> wow thats light [08:09:44] <PatrickDK> if doing that 4 hours, you attempt to send them a single email, the ban is extended [08:10:04] *** Internat has quit IRC [08:10:09] <PatrickDK> during [08:10:10] <ChrisC35> lol - so if you are sending out 2000 hotmail emails, you could end up with a lifetime ban [08:10:12] <roe_> black/white lists are always a good topic for centralization/decentralization [08:10:12] *** Internat has joined #postfix [08:10:48] <PatrickDK> ya, I'm running two whitelists, and 3 blacklists on my servers [08:11:11] <ChrisC35> well for tonight I will put my head in the sand, and play fallout 3 [08:13:35] *** CrazyFoam has joined #postfix [08:28:41] *** sophokles has joined #postfix [08:29:32] *** phnord has joined #postfix [08:31:46] <roe_> morning in europe?

[23:31:47] <ziro> rhineheart_m: looks like yahoo is tarpitting you, check the url [23:31:57] <shasta> ziro, not exactly [23:32:09] <rob0> Rhine, your IP address is on Spamhaus PBL. It's not a tarpit, it's a rejection. [23:32:43] <seekwill> And it would be a graylist, vs. a tarpit... [23:33:07] <zzattack> I changed /etc/pam.d/smtp and now my users are in a mysql db [23:33:16] <ziro> shasta: postfix is my inbound server, just a relay server, then I have two other servers, one GroupWise and one Exchange server, I want postfix to send the same mail to each server, [23:33:19] <zzattack> but I'd rather just use on pass per user using the unix accounts [23:33:21] <rob0> The rejection is a violation of SMTP, because you can't do a 5xx in the banner, which is what they are doing. [23:33:23] <zzattack> how can I achieve this? [23:34:25] <rob0> !fcrdns [23:34:25] <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 . [23:34:30] <rob0> rhineheart_m: ^^ [23:35:04] <shasta> ziro, and you probably want the same from/to? i can't think of any solution [23:35:35] <ziro> shasta: correct.. ok, thanks though. I'll keep digging [23:35:43] <seekwill> ziro: Your postfix server should have a list of valid recipients before accepting emails [23:36:02] <shasta> that's another thing, yes [23:36:40] <ziro> seekwill: this one is just a relay server, another server in front of that does have that. [23:36:52] <seekwill> oh [23:36:53] <seekwill> ok [23:36:55] <seekwill> :) [23:37:47] <seekwill> Why doesn't that server fwd to your two servers? [23:37:59] *** carl- has quit IRC [23:40:37] <ziro> I actually process many domains, this relay server is just used a a holding queue, if one of the clients is down. [23:41:26] <ziro> but in this case, I want a copy to go to two different servers, and yes, having the same to/from [23:41:28] <rob0> A lower-priority MX host? With no recipient validation? [23:41:47] <ziro> no [23:41:50] <ziro> a "next hop" [23:42:35] <rob0> whew, that's good, I don't like backscattering spam magnets. [23:43:36] <rhineheart_m> thanks to all of you.. does it require ports to be open before I could actually send emails? [23:43:43] <ziro> first server does the sqlgrey check, relay_recipients check etc etc, then passes it down to this server to relay then to the client. [23:44:22] *** timotiCK has quit IRC [23:44:56] *** timotiCK has joined #POSTFIX [23:46:36] <ziro> I wonder if there is any add on that does this, checking site/google [23:48:59] <rhineheart_m> what are the ports needed by postfix to be opened? [23:49:57] <shasta> what knowledge is needed to run a mailserver? [23:50:30] <ziro> how to log on to IRC and ask away.. :-) [23:51:48] <cafuego> rhineheart_m: Inbound 25/tcp and 465/tcp [23:52:13] <cafuego> rhineheart_m: Outbound to remote 25/tcp and 465/tcp, also allow 53 tcp and udp to your DNS server(s) [23:52:21] <rob0> Sending mail simply requires the ability to make an outbound connection. No one connects back at you, except for optional auth/identd. [23:53:14] <cafuego> rhineheart_m: If your users send from remote to you, you may want 587/tcp opened inbound as well; the submission port. [23:53:43] <rob0> BTW this stuff is partly covered in the BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README, but that does assume some understanding of Unix and basic networking. [23:53:45] <cafuego> rhineheart_m: This is of course all IF you have a firewall now that blocks all traffic by default. [23:54:06] <cafuego> If you didn't have a firewall, postfix would simply listen on the ports it needs and be fine. [23:54:14] *** niki has joined #postfix [23:54:22] *** wdp has quit IRC [23:55:03] <rhineheart_m> cafuego, thank you [23:55:10] <rob0> 465 is deprecated by 587+STARTTLS [23:55:37] <rhineheart_m> what do you mean with this? Outbound to remote 25/tcp and 465/tcp, also allow 53 tcp and udp to your DNS server(s) [23:56:31] <cafuego> rhineheart_m: Your postfix would want to connect to those ports on remote hosts. [23:57:06] <cafuego> rhineheart_m: And if you had a firewall, you would of course also be blocking unauthorised outbound traffic. [23:57:08] <rhineheart_m> like using outlook to fecth mails from the server? [23:57:23] <cafuego> rhineheart_m: no, to send mails from you to remote postfix servers [23:57:27] <rhineheart_m> yeah.. I have a firewall. [23:58:01] <rob0> Postfix does not connect outbound to 465 ... even if configured to do so, there is no native smtps client support. [23:58:07] <rhineheart_m> so.. 25. 465 [23:58:14] <cafuego> outlook - god forbid - would use pop3 or imap ... which uses ports 110 and 143 or 993 and 995. [23:58:55] <cafuego> the altter two are pop3s and imaps. [23:59:17] *** jra has joined #postfix [23:59:42] *** mXr has quit IRC
