Re: [spamdyke-users] plesk/spamdyke/thunderbird/port 25 problem

I've found Thunderbird 3 to be a bit of a nightmare, insisting on using encryption/ssl/tls/whatever and other strange things when it does its auto-detect when you set up an account, but which subsequently don't actually work. So I would take a look at the use secure authentication tick box, and the connection security setting, as well as the port it is set to. i.e. untick the use secure authentication box, and set the connection security to none. Does it then work? If so, I'm thinking that possibly Spamdyke's tls (is it tls?) stuff isn't set up correctly in your config or something, so Thunderbird gets its knickers in a twist. All this is just a guess - but worth a try maybe? And while I'm here, may I wish everybody a Merry non-denominational Over Eating Day and a Happy Gregorian Calendar New Year. Faris. I have a problem with Plesk + Spamdyke. When spamdyke is added to /etc/inetd.conf like this: smtp stream tcp nowait.1000 root /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /usr/bin/env SMTPAUTH=1END=1 /usr/local/bin/spamdyke -f /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmail/bin/true sending mail using port 25 with Thunderbird fails, error message in mail client is: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: VXNlcm5hbWU6. Please verity that your email address is correct in yout Mail preferences and try again. This happens only with port 25 and only with Thunderbird. I can send mail with Outlook on port 25 or with Thunderbird using ports 465 or 587. How can I resolve this issue ? solution to this problem is changing spamdyke configuration file name to something else e.g. /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke_new.conf -- Grzegorz ___ spamdyke-users mailing list spamdyke-users@spamdyke.org http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
[spamdyke-users] Fighting BCC spam
Hi, Apologies for partially off-topic thread, however not spamdyke but qmail/spam related. I recently noticed increased number of what I call BCC Spam. It looks like From: is external, To: is local user (so mail is accepted) but there're also external BCC: recepipients. To my understanding (which aparently seems incorrect?) qmail should only bother BCC is From is local. But it does not and happily spends this spam out to BCC: targets. I did not investigate deeply yet, but as a quick solution I could probably play with qmail-inject.c to tweak qmail a bit but I do not like this approach right now, so I wonder if anyone else faced this issue already and manage to solve it?

Re: [spamdyke-users] Fighting BCC spam
This sounds me like like it's coming from a host that's infected with malware. The From: address may be external, but what's the IP address of the sender? Also, is it coming from an authenticated user's account? By From: is external I meant sender's email address found in envelope, and I was refering to email address which is not hosted on our machines i.e. f...@bar.cx (and we do not host bar.cx). It also was not authenticated but as To: is our user then qmail accepted it (which is ok). The BCC handling however does not sound OK to me, hence my question.
