[01:26:21] <k-man> hello
[01:27:44] <k-man> is there a way to make it easy for users to add and remove their away messages?
[01:28:57] <rob0> Postfix does not implement an "away messages" feature, so ... um ... maybe?
[01:30:46] <k-man> rob0: do you have any suggestions as to how I might go about implementing an away message system?
[01:31:25] <rob0> No, in fact I think they're generally very ugly and prone to abuse.
[01:31:53] <rob0> My suggestion, you won't like ... "don't" :)
[01:33:26] *** pirho has quit IRC
[01:33:52] <k-man> rob0: actually, i am of the same opinion, but the users love the idea

[03:41:40] <rob0> I used "nullmailer" a long time ago
[03:41:51] <rob0> !standard
[03:41:52] <knoba> rob0: "standard" : Your question is probably answered in http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html

[07:51:16] <yajith> hi all..
[07:52:24] <yajith> when sender_bcc is enabled, if the bcc'd mail box is having a prob. ( too large etc. ) will the original user get a bounce message.. ?
[07:57:27] <f3ew> yes
[07:57:48] *** force has joined #postfix
[07:58:13] <rob0> (the envelope sender)
[08:00:46] <force> when would you recommend using postfix maps?
[08:01:00] <force> i've never used postfix before until today
[08:01:20] *** nphase_ has quit IRC
[08:02:30] <force> i've read a bunch of tutorials etc on postmap however, the debian etch package doesn't seem to have the maps directory in /etc/postfix
[08:02:44] <rob0> I would recommend reading the documentation, as your question makes no sense.
[08:02:45] <force> i'm using amavis, spamassassin, postgrey as well
[08:03:00] <force> hmm
[08:03:11] <force> the problem is i don't really have the time to read it
[08:03:19] <rob0> ahh.
[08:03:27] <force> i'm getting it up and running as fast as possible
[08:04:38] <force> so like, for example there is an access filter file
[08:04:42] <yajith> f3ew: is there anyway to get sender_bcc functionality, without that happening ?
[08:04:47] <force> which lists known common spammers
[08:05:08] <force> i guess im just wondering where to get them
[08:05:31] <f3ew> yajith, make sure you never run out of space?
[08:05:36] <rob0> yaj, maybe a special transport(5) to the bcc address
[08:05:50] <yajith> f3ew: :)
[08:06:17] <yajith> rob0: can u pls. explain a bit more..not familiar with that one over here..
[08:06:38] <rob0> I'm not even sure it would work.
[08:06:49] <rob0> 07:05 < f3ew> yajith, make sure you never run out of space?

[10:31:26] <recon1025> hello everyone
[10:43:31] <R1ck> f3ew: what method do you use to provide redundancy in case one of those md3000s fails?
[10:43:45] <f3ew> R1ck, duplicate SAN
[10:44:21] <R1ck> f3ew: do you rsync the data nightly or something to the other md3000?
[10:44:30] <f3ew> hourly
[10:45:01] *** recon1025 has quit IRC
[10:45:19] <R1ck> ah. and how much data is that? i noticed rsync always takes a long time to calculate differences and stuff
[10:45:38] <f3ew> not much at the moment
[10:46:27] <R1ck> 1G? 100G? 1M? :)
[10:47:01] <f3ew> ~ 10G or so
[10:47:14] <f3ew> that's the mail
[10:47:32] <f3ew> then there's the database stuff for the other app, which is ~ 400 GB as a text dump
[10:48:14] <R1ck> ah.. we currently have 74G of mail.. to rsync that would take long I'm afraid, but I really dont want to configure drbd or something on the NAS'es
[10:48:28] <R1ck> by the way, what kind of OS runs on those MD3000's ?
[10:54:09] <f3ew> Linux w/ iSCSI
[10:55:04] <R1ck> openfiler or your own implementation?
[10:55:41] <f3ew> openfiler

[15:48:58] *** jtaji has quit IRC
[15:49:13] <cpm> running a secondary (backup) mx is tricky, and this is just one of the reasons why.

[16:51:50] <sysmonk> yeah, that's true.
[16:53:56] <lunaphyte_> it's weird.  all day long, i'll be doing something where i'm not reading email, and be getting no spam at all.  then, i'll go check my email, and suddenly i'll have a bunch of spam dating all the way back to when i last checked my messages.

[17:02:39] <sysmonk> lunaphyte_: did you try to turn it off and on again?
[17:02:49] <seekwill> Turn off bouces? WHY?
[17:03:10] <sysmonk> seekwill: just for a while, to give postfix a rest
[17:03:11] <lunaphyte_> CAiRO: by unplugging your mail server.
[17:03:14] <sysmonk> and then reenable
[17:03:14] <sysmonk> ;)
[17:03:22] <CAiRO> because of all those faked from addresses
[17:03:26] <seekwill> oh
[17:03:32] <sysmonk> CAiRO: oh, backscatter ;)
[17:03:32] <seekwill> What, postfix can't handle ???
[17:03:59] <lunaphyte_> sysmonk: i turned it off, but when i tried to turn it on, nothing happens.  it just sits there, limp.
[17:04:07] <sysmonk> lunaphyte_: oh my
[17:04:19] <CAiRO> my postfix has like 10k mails in the queue and all are bounce mails which fail to get sent because the faked sender does not exist
[17:04:21] <sysmonk> lunaphyte_: did you feed it?
[17:04:37] <CAiRO> whats the best way to avoid such things?
[17:04:39] <lunaphyte_> CAiRO: you don't turn off bounces, you avoid them, by not accepting mail you can't (or don't plan to deliver) in the first place.  do not accept mail if you cannot deliver it.
[17:09:54] <CAiRO> lol, ok, i think ive had soft bounces turned on
[17:10:45] <seekwill> What are soft bounces?
[17:11:47] *** eanxgeek|laptop has joined #postfix
[17:11:59] <R1ck> seekwill: when a mail would bounce, the message remains in the queue instead of getting bounced
[17:12:41] * seekwill is still confused
[17:12:55] <seekwill> When trying to send an email, but it was transfailed by the remote system?
[17:13:49] <R1ck> eg when you receive an email but your LDA (maildrop, procmail etc) is misconfigured and rejects the mail.. it then holds the message in the queue and tries again later iirc
[17:14:26] <seekwill> uh ok
[17:14:29] <CAiRO> i think thats the cause for my queue getting bigger and bigger
[17:14:42] <seekwill> Don't misconfigure!
[17:15:06] <CAiRO> yea, im thinking about giving up my own mail hosting.. too much effort
[17:15:12] <seekwill> :)
[17:15:23] <seekwill> Gmail!
[17:15:41] <CAiRO> each time i have to look into the postfix configuration, i wish i hadnt.. because it has one million options and i dont understand half of them
[17:15:57] <Dominian> heh
[17:16:00] <CAiRO> yeah, a real alternative.. as far as i know gmail can handle mails for my domain if set up so
[17:16:01] <lunaphyte_> yeah, definitely.  the more complete strangers i can give access to my mail, the better.
[17:16:01] *** jangell has joined #postfix
[17:16:03] <Dominian> documentation ftw!
[17:16:10] <Dominian> CAiRO: it can
[17:16:17] <Dominian> CAiRO: I push jabber through them with google apps
[17:16:27] <Dominian> and at some point.. I probably will roll my email tot hem.. but we'll see
[17:16:38] <seekwill> Dominian: GIVING UP???? NO!
[17:16:53] <Dominian> haha
[17:16:55] <Dominian> not likely
[17:17:00] <Dominian> but its always a good fall-back option
[17:17:08] <R1ck> heh, and when you receive a mail at the google servers.. its theirs. so when you mail sourcecode, it'll belong to them
[17:17:12] <CAiRO> lunaphyte_: complete strangers?
[17:17:36] <lunaphyte_> yeah.  i don't know anyone who works at google.
[17:18:05] <CAiRO> lunaphyte_: yeah, but dozens of companys are involved for each email.. you probably dont even know their names
[17:18:26] <lunaphyte_> huh?  how do you figure?
[17:18:28] <CAiRO> and potentially, they all have access to the data their servers handle
[17:18:35] <seekwill> I read your email
[17:18:45] <CAiRO> lunaphyte_: except you send all your emails in your  lan
[17:18:51] <lunaphyte_> seekwill: that's because i send it to you.
[17:18:52] <CAiRO> but if you send them through the internet..
[17:19:15] <Dominian> R1ck: eh?
[17:19:22] <seekwill> lunaphyte: yep
[17:19:28] <lunaphyte_> something ephemeral has a much smaller attack surface than something resting on a disk.
[17:19:33] <seekwill> CAiRO: TLS
[17:19:49] <R1ck> Dominian: afaik, everything you put on google / gmail servers, will belong to them
[17:19:50] *** karrotx has joined #postfix
[17:20:04] <lunaphyte_> he has an accurate point, but it's not really a practical concept.
[17:20:06] <R1ck> it's in the terms & conditions
[17:20:08] <Dominian> R1ck: where'd you hear that?
[17:20:21] <Dominian> R1ck: I think you're mis-interpreting their terms
[17:20:25] *** Deddi has joined #postfix
[17:20:32] <CAiRO> seekwill: does  your mail server also encrypt the mails it sends to others? or is only the connection from your mail client to your server encrypted?
[17:20:51] <seekwill> CAiRO: That's kinda a client thing...
[17:20:53] <Dominian> and anything *that* sensitive.. I GPG encrypt
[17:21:02] <lunaphyte_> regardless, terms and conditions serve no purpose other than possible recourse, at best.  they prevent nothing from happening.
[17:21:03] <CAiRO> R1ck: even if it was in their terms it would be illegal in most countries
[17:21:13] <Dominian> including the US
[17:21:36] <Dominian> I believe the terms basically state that you can use your servers.. etc etc etc, but we will use your emails against you if legal proceedings yada yada yada dictate
[17:21:39] <CAiRO> seekwill: so all those providers which route your data through the various networks could also read your mails .. if they wanted to
[17:22:08] <seekwill> CAiRO: I'm not disagreeing with you!
[17:22:12] <Dominian> hehe
[17:22:20] <R1ck> well, being an admin myself I'd rather have full control over my mail instead of having to rely on a company
[17:22:27] <CAiRO> so i dont trust google any more or less than those providers
[17:22:27] <Dominian> in reality, email is the most unsecure form of communication in the world
[17:22:30] <lunaphyte_> yes, of course, but the practical application of the concept pales in comparison.
[17:22:45] <Dominian> just GPG encrypt your messages.. if you're that worried
[17:23:08] <lunaphyte_> CAiRO: you're disregarding real world concepts.
[17:23:50] <R1ck> we are required by law to notify the justice department about what e-mailaccounts we host, what websites, who mails who and when etc
[17:24:21] <R1ck> someone always knows what you're doing.. big brother is watching ;)
[17:24:21] <rob0> huh?
[17:24:31] <lunaphyte_> yes, and citizens are by law required to pay taxes.
[17:24:56] *** alys has quit IRC
[17:25:02] * rob0 has never notified the spooks about such things

[17:25:51] <rob0> oh you're in EU
[17:25:53] <R1ck> from the government
[17:25:56] <lunaphyte_> rob0: i believe there is a special exclusionary clause, in your particular case.

[17:27:01] <R1ck> yup
[17:27:36] <R1ck> if you don't comply and they find out, you can get fined for like 5000,- euro's a day or something
[17:28:01] <R1ck> although I dont think any of the ISP's have been fined so far for not complying

[17:40:19] <CAiRO> hmm, ok, unfortunately i still have a problem with bounced mails.. how do i find out why an email is bounced instead of rejected?
[17:40:36] <CAiRO> i get log messages like this: Dec 19 17:39:13 vedron postfix/virtual[6737]: 16D9C5D002D: to=<fax at btmmusic dot de>, relay=virtual, delay=0.08, delays=0.06/0/0/0.02, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "fax at btmmusic dot de")
[17:41:02] <rob0> unknown user: "fax at btmmusic dot de"
[17:41:16] <CAiRO> yes, but why does it not reject that email?
[17:41:21] <rob0> !unknown_virtual
[17:41:22] <knoba> rob0: "unknown_virtual" : \"User unknown in virtual $X table\" means that the recipient domain was found in $virtual_$X_domains but the username@domain was not found in $virtual_$X_maps. ("$X" can be either alias or mailbox .)
[17:41:30] <rob0> dunno, I guess you messed up
[17:41:54] <rob0> maybe some not-so-magic tricks in virtual aliasing?
[17:42:25] *** F6F has joined #postfix
[17:42:27] <rob0> maybe a wildcard in virtual_$X_maps
[17:42:30] <CAiRO> well, i also have these other messages saying "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table".. and those mails get rejected
[17:42:54] <CAiRO> strange...
[17:43:12] <rob0> well, I already gave you 2 suggestions, get to work!
[17:43:37] <daguz> I'm trying to setup TLS and verify its proper operation.  We can see (with packet sniffer and headers) that the message has been encrypted.  However on many messages the header says: "(No client certificate requested)".  Is this bad, do we care?
[17:43:50] <lunaphyte_> daguz: no.
[17:43:51] <daguz> WE see this both sending and receiving.
[17:43:58] <daguz> no not bad and we dont care?
[17:44:01] <daguz> cool..
[17:44:09] <lunaphyte_> unless you were expecting the client to provide a cert.
[17:44:35] <rob0> Client certs are not much used in SMTP.
[17:45:05] <daguz> How does the certificate get authenticated?
[17:45:12] <daguz> (on either side)
[17:45:23] <CAiRO> !unknown user
[17:45:24] <knoba> CAiRO: Error: "unknown" is not a valid command.
[17:45:34] <CAiRO> !unknown_user
[17:45:35] <knoba> CAiRO: Error: "unknown_user" is not a valid command.
[17:45:47] <lunaphyte_> daguz: typically (like rob0 said) tls isn't used for authentication.
[17:46:02] <daguz> ok. thanks it sounded bad...
[17:46:10] <daguz> now we're not too worried.
[17:46:12] <daguz> :)
[17:46:13] <rob0> Clients always check server certs, but mostly the standard is to not worry about MITM possibilities.

[17:48:30] <rob0> you need each end to require and verify certs in order to prevent "man in the middle" attacks.

[17:50:42] <rob0> It's a potato salad recipe.
[17:51:43] <rob0> if you connected to a site where the cert did not match the reverse DNS name, you'd see that in logs.
[17:52:43] <daguz> thanks, that helps..  is there a good summary of how the tls works other than postfix's documentation?  WE've not found that useful for understanding the overall concepts.
[17:54:00] <daguz> Is this an openssl question?
[17:55:10] <roe_> clients are becoming *much* more sensitive to fake certs these days, just try the beta of tbird to see
[17:55:58] <rob0> it IS an openssl question, and I don't know much about that

[22:00:07] <rob0> IME clamav is rather superfluous with sane SMTP checks. Zen and helo checks take out almost any virus you might see.

[22:45:53] <Bart[mdv]> Hello. Why postfix does not rcv mail from IPv6 address?
[22:45:55] <Bart[mdv]> postfix/smtpd[32763]: NOQUEUE: reject: EHLO from unknown[2001:470:90ba:5:21b:fcff:fe9c:a4ed]: 501 5.5.2 <[2001:470:90ba:5:21b:fcff:fe9c:a4ed]>: Helo command rejected: invalid ip address; proto=SMTP helo=<[2001:470:90ba:5:21b:fcff:fe9c:a4ed]>
[22:46:08] <Bart[mdv]> I try send mail from 2001:470:90ba:5:21b:fcff:fe9c:a4ed
[22:46:41] <Dominian> You have it listening on IPv6?
[22:47:04] <Dominian> what does: postconf -n | grep inet_protocols   return
[22:47:43] <Bart[mdv]> I can rcv email if IPv6 address have reverse DNS record
[22:48:24] <Bart[mdv]> # postconf -n | grep inet_protocols
[22:48:24] <Bart[mdv]> inet_protocols = all
[22:49:33] <Dominian> then it something with smtpd
[22:49:36] <Bart[mdv]> also I can recive email if IPv6 address (or subnet) added in mynetworks
[22:49:42] <Dominian> look int your smtpd_* restructions
[22:49:48] <Dominian> restrictions
