Package: postgrey Version: 1.27-4 Tags: patch Severity: important Justification: google handles a lot of mail, so this has rather big implications
This is also the case for 1.27-4volatile1. I did not look into lenny/sid packages, but they also might be affected. /usr/share/postgrey/whitelist_clients contains: # google.com (big pool, reported by Matthias Dyer) /^.*-out-.*\.google\.com$/ Unfortunately this is not enough. Google services occasionally send mail from hosts with PTRs such as mail-gx0-f60.google.com which obviously does not match the regex. I personally was hit with the lack of a whitelist entry for such hosts after my private email domain disappeared off DNS for a few days. Subsequent probe messages from Google groups happened to be sent from addresses like the the abovementioned one, and were refused by postgrey. That meant I could not receive messages from google groups for a few months. After discussing this with the team at Google which deals with external mail delivery, we finally agreed that the best way to work around it is to add _additional_ entry, with the following regex: /^mail.*\.google\.com$/ We could also fold both regexes into one if needed, but it is important NOT to remove the one that is currently distributed. -- Marcin Owsiany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://marcin.owsiany.pl/ GnuPG: 1024D/60F41216 FE67 DA2D 0ACA FC5E 3F75 D6F6 3A0D 8AA0 60F4 1216 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
