RE: OT: AOL?
How can I test to ensure that my RDNS is working??? dig -x ip.ad.re.ss dig for win32 can be had at ftp.isc.org. or free registration to get to this page: http://preview.samspade.org/t/ or: http://www.dnsstuff.com/ Do I have to have an entry for every domain in reverse DNS??? The critical ones are any ip's that are SMTP clients sending mail to other mail servers. Each sending ip should have matching PTR and A records. Of course, the reverse zone delegation must be done and the delegated NS responding. For all CF or web apps that send mail: 1. the envelope @sender.domain must have A and/or MX records. 2. The MX for @sender.domain must accept mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] That is, in your CF apps that send mail (and that you want to give the best chance of being delivered), just don't invent any old [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will have no success with MX's that do sender address verification or DNS validations of @sender.domain.

Re: IMail as Mail Delivery Agent for CF
Anyone have experience or recommendations about using IMail to deliver mail from ColdFusion in-lieu of using CFMAIL? Dumping tons of mail in short time on Imail for relaying is very probably going to screw it up, since Imail queue processing in that situation is flaky. The mail chunk just won't go, it spurts, it stops, you can't kick it to life, it trickles out, etc, etc. If only for low volumes, then it should be ok, but don't bet on 30k/msgs per hour.

Re: (Admin) New spam code
I was basing it on the mail headers. Basically what your mail server reports itself as to my mailserver. I've since found that my assumptions were not 100% correct. ALL mail headers can be forged. Using easily forgeable Received: headers for validation is useless. Here are the checks your MTA/MX can perform: 1. For ip of sending MTA a. require PTR record ( avoid, too many false positives) b. require the PTR hostname and that hostname's A record match. Mostly reliable for detecting forgeries of frequently-forged @sender.domains, including your own (if you do your DNS correctly). Find a list of 4000+ frequently forged domains at monkeys.com with A + PTR matching. 2. Helo/ehlo a. helo/ehlo command required b. helo/ehlo hostname required and/or be a FQDN (avoid, too many false positives) b. filter for trick hostnames 3. MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] a. require FQDN for sender.domain b. require that sender.domain have A and/or MX records Len ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

Re: NSLookup
I was under the impression that it used UDP by preference UDP is used to query as long as the response packets do not have the TC = TrunCated bit set. If TC, then the DNS client queries with TCP. but will fall back to TCP if UDP is not available. afaik, TCP is not tried as fallback if UDP queries are not responding. see: http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/dns.htm you can get dig for win32 here, in the tools package: ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/contrib/ntbind-8.3.3 I'm not sure dig for win32 has the full man page, so here it is for bind8. When rolling out to dig from CF, you can limit the verbosity of the response with dig arguments: DIG(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual DIG(1) NAME dig - send domain name query packets to name servers SYNOPSIS dig [@server] domain [query-type] [query-class] [+query-option] [-dig-option] [%comment] DESCRIPTION Dig (domain information groper) is a flexible command line tool which can be used to gather information from the Domain Name System servers. Dig has two modes: simple interactive mode for a single query, and batch mode which executes a query for each in a list of several query lines. All query options are accessible from the command line. The usual simple use of dig will take the form: dig @server domain query-type query-class where: server may be either a domain name or a raw (IPv4 / IPv6) Internet address. If this optional field is omitted, dig will attempt to use the default name server for your machine. Note: If a domain name is specified, this will be resolved using the domain name system resolver (i.e., BIND). If your system does not support DNS, you may have to specify a dot- notation address. Alternatively, if there is a server at your disposal somewhere, all that is required is that /etc/resolv.conf be present and indicate where the default name servers reside, so that server itself can be resolved. See resolver(5) for information on /etc/resolv.conf. WARNING: Changing /etc/resolv.conf will affect both the stan- dard resolver library and (potentially) several programs which use it. As an option, the user may set the environment variable LOCALRES to name a file which is to be used instead of /etc/resolv.conf (LOCALRES is specific to the dig resolver and is not referenced by the standard resolver). If the LOCALRES variable is not set or the specified file is not readable, then /etc/resolv.conf will be used. domain is the domain name for which you are requesting information. See the -x option (documented in the OTHER OPTIONS subsection of this section) for convenient way to specify reverse address query. query-type is the type of information (DNS query type) that you are requesting. If omitted, the default is ``a'' (T_A = address). The following types are recognized: a T_Anetwork address any T_ANY all/any information about specified domain mx T_MX mail exchanger for the domain ns T_NS name servers soa T_SOA zone of authority record hinfo T_HINFOhost information axfrT_AXFR zone transfer (must ask an authoritative server) txt T_TXT arbitrary number of strings (See RFC 1035 for the complete list.) query-class is the network class requested in the query. If omitted, the default is ``in'' (C_IN = Internet). The following classes are recognized: in C_IN Internet class domain any C_ANY all/any class information (See RFC 1035 for the complete list.) Note: ``Any'' can be used to specify a class and/or a type of query. Dig will parse the first occurrence of ``any'' to mean query-type = T_ANY. To specify query-class = C_ANY, you must either specify ``any'' twice, or set query-class using the -c option (see below). OTHER OPTIONS %ignored-comment ``%'' is used to included an argument that is simply not parsed. This may be useful if running dig in batch mode.

Our development box is win2000, access 2000, IIS 5, CF which matches our hosting ISP. The database will move over to SQL7 mid year. as you must know, access sucks at any volume. I doubt the rate of queries to support our dynamic mapping solution will be supported by Access. ESRI/Eagle Technology donated ArcView for producing the maps. ARCIMS Server is an option but it requires high bandwidth and IE5. We need a simpler solution to cater for conservationists with old browsers/pcs and slow modems.

Re: Using CF to control Spam
My inbox has become increasingly infested with spam - up to 30 a day now - so I've been writing a small app in CF to help control it. Basically, the robot logs into my current spam-infested inbox and checks each email against a trusted addresses table in my db - if the email is from a trusted source, it's sent to another clean POP. If it's potentially spam, a message is sent to the sender and the email is quarantined in the db - if that sender is a real person, they'll click on a link which will validate their email address, add it to my trusted addressbook and deliver their email to my clean POP. It works well, but it's annoying having to have another POP - can anyone think of a better way of doing it? google for TMDA, tagged message deliver agent. a lot of ISP's have successfully set up IMGate, in my sig, to reduce spam and abuse by 90%, for free. TMDA would kill the last 10%.

Oh, and just to make it perfectly clear, in Neo you'll write CF as you do now. You'll have other features and technologies available to you too, but if you want to write CF as you do in CF5 (and earlier) you'll be able to. The ease of use, the minimal learning curve, the rapid development - none of that changes at all. ah, if it were just a technology thing. ah, if it were just being first with the best :)) MS never wins on pure technology. MS is never first. Any non-MS commercial product on a strategic platform like IIS opposite MS strategic products that are free, are at serious risk of being Macintosh-ed, later if not sooner. At a minimum, throwing a screenplay on the table about Neo going against MS on MS IIS and opposite MS .net and MS c# and all MS middleware and MS's $30B in cash and supposing MS's good will and laissez-faire is not going to get tons of VC now or in the future. :)) but CF/Neo development could still be a comfortable little niche, just like the Macintosh segment.

Re: OT: SPAM lists?
And shutting people down with no warning is also inexusable People running open relays are lazy or incompetent, so sending them a warning, even automated (no labor) won't energize them or power up their skills.

Re: OT: SPAM lists?
I'll agree that a blackhole list for web servers is a great idea. Definitely a far greater risk and traffic waste than open relays. You can only say that since you haven't been the victim of a mutli-week, high-source-bandwidth DoS and other malicious attacks mounted through 1000's and 1000's of open relays world-wide.

Re: OT: SPAM lists?
Well Len thanks for calling me lazy and incompetent. Until I got blacklisted I did not know about open relays. So how does that put me in either category? If you run a public mail server, don't know what open relays are, nor how to close your own, that's incompetence. The mail server I was running had no documentation about the possible abuse of or even the existence of open relays. then change mail servers. there's lotsa of good ones around, commercial and free. I can guarantee you that had I received a warning, it would certainly would have energized me to deal with the situation. So would have coming in the office one morning to find your mail server hijacked and the transit point for 30K abuse mails/hour all night, and 600K mail queued up to go, disk full. Please watch those blanket statements in the future...because I am far from lazy or incompetent...you weenie ;-) As with MS and their repeated security screw ups, the grace period for open relays is over, long ago. That said, if you pay to pay MAPS and DL their RBL reverse zone, it's 10+ mb of open relays, IIRC. (Don't put your mailbox server on internet as MX host, either.)

Re: OT: SPAM lists?
I was looking at automating my server-side SPAM filtering. Are there any resources for pulling known SPAM addresses? Free, as in beer? We run an SMTP anti-abuse gateway, and subcribe it to selected RBL servers, do DNS validations, enforce SMTP protocol compliance, regex filters on headers, bodies, attachments. This kills 90% of spam, and a bunch of worms, virii, too without costing anything. A couple of new ones that look promising are spamassassin.taint.org and tmda.sourceforge.net. Another one combines the MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a lookup of the owner of the sending mailserver's ip. If you say [EMAIL PROTECTED] and your mailserver is not an AOL ip, click.

Re: Image Resizing tags
Does anyone out there who's messed with tags like CF_ImageSize have any info on the nature of the files these tags produce, especially when it comes to running pre-compressed images through them? I'm digging around trying to settle on one of these tags, but I don't want to end up tossing, say, a 3k JPG through one of these tags, trimming it down width/height-wise, and end up with a larger file than I started with because the tag couldn't deal with compression. well, such a tag would suck and deselect itself from your short list, wouldn´t it ? Use ImageRobot batch image processor from www.Jasc.com. Just about everything you could do to an image in PaintShop Pro 4, you can do with IR, to 1000´s of images at once. IR let´s you set the jpg compression ratio, of course. You can also lay around a border of 1 or more pixels, overlay a trademark, logo, etc. Scanned photos are almost always too pink, with insufficient saturation and contrast. All can be corrected with IR. Hint: re- / down-sizing an image by resampling will cause it to lose sharpness, to soften it usually too much, esp withthumbs where you´re already at squinting size. So we always run our thumbs through one level of the sharpen filter as last IR process before saving. makes a visible diff.

Re: OT: Detecting router IP
Is there anyway to dynamically retrieve the IP assigned to a router, which is getting its IP from a DSL line in ColdFusion? IF the router uses the same hostname for its inside ip address as it does for its outside address (the DHCP assigned address you´re after), then doing a PTR query (get hostname by ip) on the fixed inside ip address will answer with a hostname. Then do an A query to an outside, public DNS with that hostname to see the outside ip address. hmmm, not real confident about all that. The first IF is a biggy.

I can see why this idea would arise, an idle mind? a stalled mind?? an over-revving mind :)) DNS == database; CF uses databases, but using a traditional DNS model, I can't think of any compelling reasons why someone would attempt to do this, beyond idle curiosity. ah, sweet reason. :)) There are, on the other hand, a number of negative technical, security, and performance issues that immediately come to mind. etc, etc. DNS is one hairy piece(s) of functionality. Even if you wrote an CF-achievable, dumbed-down DNS, what's the point vs BIND and all the existing proprietary versions? What is interesting grist for the CF mill is that BIND9 is being delivered with database API using PostgreSQL as the example backend. So I expect CF apps for DNS database admin to appear for BIND9. ( (BIND9 isn't quite ready for infrastructure prime time.) But CF as database web admin app has nothing to do with CF app functioning as a domain name service/daemon.

Re: CF DNS
Yeah .. for BIND on Linux it's just as easy as appending to one text file, and creating another. Then just restart the daemon and away you go. yes, but it doesn't scale well. Editing by hand or CF writing out a 1000 or 10,000 or 100K line named.conf text is pretty dumb. It's clearly a database pb, so that's why BIND9 has a database API and can read the zone data right out of the database. Unlike BIND8, BIND9 can also start serving data while it's starting up and reading in the zone data. The A root server, for the .com TLD, has at least two NS records and two A glue records for each of 20+ million .com domains.

RE: M$ licensing has me at wits end
We have used MySQL to great success, but the above statement really misstates the case. MySQL is missing many features necessary to the daily operation of a RDBMS. It is really only a marginal step up from Access in this manner. In many scenarios, MySQL is (much) faster than Microsoft SQL Server. However, this speed comes at a terrible price, including data integrity. There is no row level locking or transactions built into MySQL, no column or table constraints, no default values for columns, no foreign keys, no stored procedures, no sub-selects or views, no TRUE or FALSE constants, no UNION statements, etc. We use these throughout our code liberally ever day. ok, this is what I've heard about MySQL which pretty much disqualifies it for many CF applications.

RE: Slightly OT: CF in Europe
Well this is a completely subjective view but my perception is that CF is considered quite a hot technology here in the UK. I don't know, but I believe the relative strength of CF versus ASP is stronger in the US than in Europe because a lot of people in the US started building web apps before ASP came out or was usable. The timing is certainly one contribution, but there are a lot more "cowboys" and "entpreneurs" in the USA who don't insist on buying only "safe" products. In Europe, the entire culture, across countries, is a bureaucratic, standardized, politicized mentality, seeking at all costs (extremely high, eg, the EC machinery of fraud and waster) to avoid the tiniest risk or non-compliance, and if the product is not 100% "safe" (ie, it's not an MS product for an MS strategic platform), the product, eg CF, is seen as too risky. Is this a conscious orientation? No of course not. It's like asking fish is they are conscious if water.

RE: Mail Servers
If a host receives 1,000,000 e-mails from a single host in a day, can't it be flagged as suspicious activity and rerouted to a temp account or dumped? Many mail servers are capable of this or some similar behavior. For instance, as you probably guessed by watching this thread :), our shop uses VOPmail (among other mail servers). VOPmail has a feature that forces the server to wait a period time in between each message over a certain number of legitimate or illegitimate messages from a single source. This is called tarpitting, where the sender/spammer is held "on line" while the attacked server twiddles its thumbs for x seconds or minutes, tying up an SMTP sending process in the attacker's machine. (yahoo has been doing this to EVERBODY recently but not a spam defense, yahoo's seem just to be overwhelmed). Tarpitting can also be triggered by x number of SMTP protocol errors in a session, with exponentially increasing response delays per by the attacked per error. ie, the more errors the attacker makes, the longer he has to wait to get a response from the attacked. Another tactic is to limit the number of RCTP TO: in single SMTP session. Another tactic is to block SMTP command pipelining (senders sends many commands without waitnig for a response, a classic spam tactic) Although this is a nice feature for decreasing the amount of mail that accumulates through a dictionary attack, this is not good relay protection because it only take one piece to get through and get reported to the ORBS database. NO relaying unless some kind of AUTH succeeds, a totally different situation from dictionary attack or mail bomb.

RE: Mail Servers
Having problems with SMTP and hops. What mail server(s) does anyone recommend to work well with CF 4.5. What do you mean "with" : on the same machine? If yes, then I recommend against it. CF is happiest as a dedicated machine. If neither CF nor the mail is very busy or important, ok together. otherwise put them on separate machines. Imail, Mailsite, and Vircom VOP are probably the 3 top mail servers for NT for medium to largish installations (up to 200K mailboxes per machine). Mailsite is probably stronger than Imail if you want to keep you mail user base/authentification in an SQL box and do lots of list services, but there is a new ODBC driver for Imail that should bring it up to Mailsite's level. Imail has a very nice Web mail facility included, and www.HKSI.com has great templates for it. Coolfusion's iMS is a very interesting alternative to tradtional mail servers if you want lots of programmability in mail the backend operations, imo.

Re: Mail Servers
stay away from mailsite! It's a major bitch keeping smammers out of it. we have it running on an NT box here and we have to fix it at least once a week because of spammers killing it with tons of mail. Just curious: what can't mailsite do for anti-spam defense that sendmail can? MAPS? ORBS? DNS validations? If you want to stick with mailsite for its ODBC support, you can use IMGate (in my sig, it's free) to protect Mailiste and give this level of reject rate and daily traffic with a medium-powerd PC for the IMGate relay hub, from today's logs: Grand Totals (13 Nov 2000) messages 94746 received 96975 delivered 4 forwarded 726 deferred (6890 deferrals) 828 bounced 34676 rejected equals 36% of received!! 1608m bytes received 1960m bytes delivered 34045 senders 6983 sending hosts/domains 25926 recipients 3898 recipient hosts/domains Per-Hour Traffic Summary time received delivered deferredbounced rejected -01004578 4333202 58 2247 0100-02004463 4091414 68 2503 0200-03003909 3491407 43 2436 0300-04003678 3344389 19 2060 0400-05004146 3778221 18 2276 0500-06004420 4045343 12 2471 0600-07004015 3766373 16 1979 0700-08005045 4978394 38 2050 0800-09006792 7058228 74 2410 0900-10006970 7646639 48 1778 1000-11007854 8640929 80 1964 1100-12007211 7792370 57 2001 1200-13007613 8375260 75 2220 1300-14007784 8331203 76 2252 1400-15007364 7943788 59 1882 1500-16008003 8410717 82 1849 1600-1700 901954 13 5298 1700-1800 0 0 0 0 0 1800-1900 0 0 0 0 0 1900-2000 0 0 0 0 0 There is another Imail/IMGate user who avg's a 50% reject rate every day.

Re: Mail Servers
But what do you do, if spammers IP constantly change if he is dialling in via call by call ? Then only blocking of IP-classes would help. All relayers must use authentification, preferably SMTP AUTH, or POP-B4-SMTP, even if they relay from trusted ip's. There simply is no other way to be safe from relay hijacking, esp there is no safety in trusting msg headers.

Re: OT: Bind problems
I'm trying to create a "fake" test Domain as part of a project. For example I just created www.wluke-testing.co.uk - the Bind file was called db.wluke-testing.co.uk and obviously I entered the entry into named.boot. But I can't get it to resolve. Do I have to wait a set period of minutes until it'll resolve? Yes, like a woman, it has warm up for best results. If your machine's "DNS client" aka "resolver" is pointing at that DNS, the zone's records are availailable immediately after you stop/start BIND (this smells like a BIND4 vintage) to re-parse the named.boot and any changes in the zone files or new zone files.

I think this is bunk, but a suit here is telling me that it is possible = to detect the client's mail client. OK, I've used JS to detect browsers = and all associated stuff, but the mail client? Sometimes a header will identify the SMTP client program. But I'm pretty sure there's no reliable way to determine the mail client, even when it's sending directly to a CF machine as SMTP server, ie, Howie's iMS. SMTP is just not setup to function like that.

Re: WOT: Allaire stock price
With all of MS's server-side momentum/juggernaut only increasing, SOAP, XML, asp, .net, C# tools and noises, ALL non-MS NT/W2K web server appplication server vendors are in MS's gun sights, and investors know what happens to the MS's strategic targets. Investors can't be faulted for expecting MS, medium- and long-term, to own every square inch of the W2K/NT4 Internet services platform. ie, investors could very well think Allaire is already a lame duck, imminent roadkill waiting, lame on highway, for the steamroller. Even if MS gets split in two or three, they are going to own that OS/Internet platform and give away whatever tools it takes to kill off all the Allaire's.

RE: WOT: Allaire stock price
Are you saying that ColdFussion will be a thing of the past?? I'm suggesting what a lot of investors, dumb and smart, could be thinking about Allaire et al as presumptious, even talented players on what MS considers to be their own, private strategic turf. If former market share godzillas like Netscape (browser and web server) and Novell got crushed, sooner or later, by MS with predatory giveaways of inferior products, what hope has a leader-of-a-pack-of-midgets player like Allaire?

Re: WOT: Allaire stock price
That might be true of less established, more exposed, non-quoted companies, but not the Allaires of this world. CF has been compared to ASP for along time, and CF goes from strength to strength on merit. but we're talking about stock prices and Internet investors, not product merits. The scenario you overlook is that if M$ targets a company with critical mass, like Hotmail and many others, it becomes acquisition target - that is a much more likely scenario for Allaire IMO. nah, MS has committed to XML/XSL for 2 years and are championing SOAP. Too much overlap with CFML. They don't need to buy Allaire, whose installed base and showcase design wins are smaller than MS's own with ASP.

So we wanted to install another mail server for CF that can bypass exchange. Meaning we dont want a mail server, like some, that still POINTS to another mail server. We want a mail server that can send out SMTP mail on it's own, i dont care about receiving mail. Any recommendations? see my siggy for free IMGate. anti-relay and anti-spam for protecting exchange while allowing CF to relay its outbound at LAN speed without DNS lookups.
