Package: postfix Version: 2.7.1-1~bpo50+1 Severity: normal
I have permit_mynetworks before reject_unauth_pipelining in my main.cf file. Despite this, postfix logs an entry about improper pipelining when a mail client doesn't wait for a response before sending the next command. As soon as I upgraded postfix from 2.5.5 to 2.7.1, I started getting the improper pipelining message in my logs every five minutes, which resulted in noisy logcheck reports. The problem client was xymon monitoring smtp/smtps. I discussed this on the xymon user list and managed to find a workaround in the xymon configuration, but it should have been resolved as soon as I added permit_mynetworks to the postix config. I won't argue the merits of rejecting unauthorized pipelining, I completely agree with the practice ... but I should have the option of allowing it if I have a broken program that I have to use. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages postfix depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf- 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.14.29+b1 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.7-18lenny6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-11 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-23+lenny1 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15+lenny8 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii ssl-cert 1.0.23 simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL Versions of packages postfix recommends: ii python 2.5.2-3 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages postfix suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mail-r 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii evolution [mail-r 2.22.3.1-1 groupware suite with mail client a ii libsasl2-modules 2.1.22.dfsg1-23+lenny1 Cyrus SASL - pluggable authenticat ii mutt [mail-reader 1.5.20-5~bpo50+1 text-based mailreader supporting M pn postfix-cdb <none> (no description available) pn postfix-ldap <none> (no description available) ii postfix-mysql 2.7.1-1~bpo50+1 MySQL map support for Postfix ii postfix-pcre 2.7.1-1~bpo50+1 PCRE map support for Postfix pn postfix-pgsql <none> (no description available) ii procmail 3.22-16 Versatile e-mail processor ii resolvconf 1.42 name server information handler pn sasl2-bin <none> (no description available) pn ufw <none> (no description available) -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
