Yup :).
Appreciate the RFC references. I have begun to notice though different
usages of the same code by remote MTA's.
That's right. If you have a look at RFC 2821, you'll see:
-
550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
(e.g., mailbox not found, no access, or command rejected
for policy reasons)
-
Now note the one about policy reasons. This includes things like
Spam/Virus Denied, and probably a bunch of other things. Basically, the
problem(?) is that the code is generic enough to represent a wide range of
failures. This is both a strength and a weakness. It's a strength in
that if people need a new error code (like when implementing a spam
filter) they can just use that. But it's also a weakness in that parsing
results is a pain :). The RFC will give you the general description, but
your logs will give you the specifics. You'd probably want something like
(excuse my perl):
%errors = (
...
'550' = {
'Spam or virus' = [ '(spam|virus|whitelist)' ],
'User unknown' = [ '((recipient|user).*?unknown|mailbox.*?not found)'
],
...
}
)
then you'd use this pseudo-perl to eg. total the number of each different
type of message.
# Somewhere above we have a loop for the errors, which sets $errno and
# $errtext, and has a label NEXTERR
if($errno == 550) {
$errcoll = $errors{$errno};
foreach $type (keys %{ $errcoll } ) {
foreach $regex (@{ $errcoll-{$type} }) {
if($errtext =~ /$regex/) {
$types{$type}++;
next NEXTERR;
}
}
}
push @unknowns, $errtext;
}
Hope that helps.

[courier-users] Filters clogging up
Hi all. I modified my courierperlfilters recently, and after a while, they seem to clog up, and refuse to deliver e-mail. The only solution I've found is a hard reset (no, shutdown -r doesn't work). Obviously when the machine is in this state, I don't have too much time to do problem diagnosis, so I'm still unsure of what the problem is. Anyway, where all this is leading is, is there a way that I can have the filter restarted after eg. processing 1000 messages?

The problem is, the error messages after the numbers come from all different hosts around the Internet, wherever you're sending the message to (yes, this is the ones in your logs). The SMTP error codes can, I believe, be found in the SMTP RFCs (2821 and 2822 I believe). The only way I can see to deal with the other messages is to make sometihng which parses what you've got in your logs, and e-mails anything unrecognised to you. Then every time you receive one of these, you can add something to parse it.

[courier-users] courierperlfilter question
Hi all. I'm wanting to test a perlfilter script, and from what I can figure it wants a socket ID in ARGV when it starts. I'd like to test this filter without having it run as one of Courier's mail filters. I can probably come up with some wrapper around it, etc, but I don't understand how to pass the file descriptor to the script. I've tried (in perl): --- open($handle, mailfile); $foo = '/usr/local/bin/spamassassin-filter.pl ' . $handle; print `$foo`; --- That doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?

[courier-users] courier, esmtproutes, and forwarding all mail
Hi. I've got a number of servers, and am trying to get them all to forward all e-mail to our mail server. Some of these are internal servers. I want it so that if a cron job fails, and tries to send e-mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will automatically be forwarded to our mail server. I've put: :sunet.com.au in the esmtproutes file, and .sunet.com.au .bcc.local. in the esmtpacceptmailfor file. However, the problem I'm getting at the moment is that when I do echo hi | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm getting the following error in the logs: 517-Domain does not exist: test.bcc.local. I've also turned off every BOFHDNS thing I could find. Is courier the right tool for forwarding local mail to a central mailserver? I've done this before with sendmail and postfix, but thought that since I'm using courier on the mail server, it would be easier to have a standardised environment.

On Mon, 10 Nov 2003, Jerome Bullert wrote: Most mail users are not used to entering the fully qualified email address as the username, when they've been taught that the username is that portion of the email address before the @ sign, and the server name is that portion after the @ sign. This is reinforced by support teams, sign-in instructions, and FAQs from AOL to Yahoo to Netscape Mail to workplace systems and so on. This is what users are taught. Just a note -- with my home e-mail address, I did exactly this when I first signed up. Unless you explicitly note this on your sign-in instructions, people will do the wrong thing. On the other hand, I worked support for about a year, and I had people make the opposite mistake -- putting in their full e-mail address as a username. Basically, whatever you do, you're going to need to educate your users, preferably being specific in the signup instructions, and also supplying the correct settings on your signup CD (or whatever). An error message at the appropriate place in the POP/IMAP login might not be a bad idea either :). What you're saying is that, even though I configure my email client to connect to domain.com (or mail.domain.com), the IMAP and POP servers don't know that *they are* domain.com (or mail.domain.com). Is this correct? That's right! You need to investigate DNS to understand this properly, but basically, it is your computer's responsibility to turn the names into IP addresses before it sends the information, so that the Internet knows where to send it. So, as someone said, if you assigned each domain a different IP address, you should be able to get the POP/IMAP server to default to a different domain. But you might have to write a patch for courier to do that (not sure :) ). My apologies if this is a stupid question. I'm not a mail expert (yet). But I am a Support expert that knows how users behave in the real world. Just for those on the list who may not have worked in support, let me summarise: dead stupid :). And I know that a single level of separation can result in a major increase or decrease in both usability and support time/costs. I personally would expect that the full e-mail address scenario would be getting a lot more common in the future, as more and more people are hosting multiple domains from the one box. It's something that we're looking at here (with 2000 users, it will be a big changeover, but I think we'll change a whole bunch of things at once -- IE - Mozilla, and Mail with AUTH, SSL, and full domain names, new proxy (and DNS) settings, the works). :) -- Tim Nelson Systems Administrator Sunet Internet Tel: +61 3 5241 1155 Fax: +61 3 5241 6187 Web: http://www.sunet.com.au/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.

Maildir is just having all the e-mails in separate files. Once you track down the appropriate file, you can just delete it (or this works for me, anyway :) ). Another alternative would be to develop a passwd substitution tool. For example, say you had a program called passsubst (run from sudo, or something). You could set it so that when you went: passsubst useracct adminacct ...it would copy the encrypted passwd field from the account adminacct to the same field for useracct (after backing up the one from useracct somewhere first). Then you could log in using your normal passwd, and access their e-mails however you wanted. Then you could just run passrestore to restore the passwd from the backup version.

Ah, makes sense. You would need a courierfilter on the incoming SMTP.
Check out courierperlfilter. Basically you need to pass the message

perlfilter example.
#Look for these lines:

Probably some mistake there, but hopefully some list member will point
out where.
Found one bug. Here's what I inserted.
`echo hi /tmp/spf.log`;
my $mail = Mail::SpamAssassin::NoAudit-new({'data' = *$fh});
my $filt = new Mail::SpamAssassin();
my $status = $filt-check ($mail);
if ($status-get_hits() 20) {
return '550 Spam Denied';
}
return '';
Only one problem -- it never creates the /tmp/spf.log file -- I
think it's not being run. I've run filterctl start perlfilter and
courierfilter start, and the following file is:
/etc/courier/filters/perlfilter
/usr/local/bin/spamassassin-filter.pl
...which is of course where I keep the script. Anyway, can anyone
tell me if there's a way to get more debugging information/errors from
these scripts? I've looked in the logs, but all I see is stuff about
starting and stopping perlfilter.

Nested exception statements are allowed.
If .mailfilter is syntactically invalid, its not processed at all, so
nothing can be done.
Of course, a .mailfilter can simply contain:
exception {
include .realmailfilter
exit
}

I'm currently doing the spam processing in the systemwide maildroprc. Ok, I'll have to partially answer my own question. If someone else could fill in the bits, that might be useful. Then I'll probably be able to construct a FAQ writeup about it. There's no documentation that I could find that gives a broad overview of Courier MTA's order of processing. Here's what I've figured out. 1. GLOBAL filtering: After a mail comes in, it is filtered by courierfilter. See man courierfilter for details. This applies to both messages for local delivery and messages for remote delivery. 2. Messages for remote delivery are forwarded elsewhere at this point. 3. LOCAL filtering: See man localmailfilter for details. a) Recipient filters: the message is filtered based on recipient and other data b) Only at this point is the message accepted c) Content filtering is done at this point Now, two questions: A. Where does Courier rewrite the message according to the SMTP/MIME/whatever standards? Between steps 2 and 3? B. Where do .courier files come into it all? My understanding is that they're only processed for local deliveries, but are processed before maildrop/.mailfilter. This leads me to guess that it happens before the localmailfilter stuff, so also between steps 2 and 3. If so, does it happen before the answer to question A, or after?

The ones that you might find in eg. ~/Maildir are MDA/MAA folders, and are used by courier-imap (which squirrelmail uses). In the case of the Maildir system, it just so happens that the MDA/MAA folders are stored in your home dir. The basic advice of whoever told me this was They're different things -- don't mix them.

[courier-users] /etc/courier/locals and IMAP

Is there any way to get the IMAP and POP servers to do this?

It would be nice if the POP/IMAP servers would strip off the @example.com before trying to authenticate the user, because we could then have users start using their full e-mail address as their username, and, when the time came, we could just transition them all over to virtual users, and most would never know the difference.

[courier-users] Outlook Express Problems... IMAP_USELOCKS MAXPERIP already tweaked...
Hello All, I am having users complain incessantly about the read messages resetting to unread automagically and the non-functioning purge problem in the latest version of Outlook Express. I have searched the archives as much as possible (having to browse the list instead of using the broken sourceforge search feature) and the only things I have been able to find are: 1) the IMAP_USELOCKS = 1 solution... I did that, but it's still happening 2) the MAXPERIP parameters, I set them to a rather high figure, and I also propped up MAXDAEMONS just to be sure. I am using Courier-IMAP 1.5.3 with postfix and maildir. I noticed in the changelog for the new 1.6 (and 1.6.1 versions) that the USELOCKS feature has been doctored to dotlocks rather than flocks.. will these changes help my problems? I will probably upgrade anyway, but has anyone upgraded and seen better outlook express success? Also, I realize that M$ refuses to read and comply with the IMAP RFCs, but as a small service provider, unfortunately I'm stuck with having to support these M$ clients. I really don't want to switch to Cyrus or UW because I like the way Courier handles the maildirs and it works so well and is so lightweight and other than the stupid MSFT problems I am happy as a clam.

it would help if you give a little info on your config. there are around 2
reasons you would be getting that error without any details.

I am getting this error and do not know what is wrong. I have hit a dead
end and would really appreciate an answer:
Jun 30 14:08:05 posiedon imapd: /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd: Permission
denied
I am unable to log into my mail server with this error. This is a new
installation on this box, but I do have courier running successfully on
other boxes and all the permissions seem to be the same.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Michael

[courier-users] VPopmail Courier Debian
I am trying to install vpopmail and courier and debian. For some reason the debian .deb file to not create the authvchkpw, that I need for courier to authenticate against vpopmail. And when I try to do it manually I am running into tons of problems. Example: If I use the vpopmail.deb then it does not give me the *.deps, so then I tried installing the vpopmail-5.2.tar.gz. But after doing this when I go to compile courier I get this message: configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. Now I know that the C compiler works, because right before installing vpopmail i got signifigantly farther trying to install courier, but like I said it still died on me. It was looking for the vpopmail binaries, which the .deb package did not install. Would it be possible to just use someone else's authvchkpw, or does courier need to be built with that as an option. Further if I could use someone else's would anyone here be willing to email me a copy of theirs? Thank you. Michael ¢êâz»¬z»j)b b²×(º¸®ë ®Éb²Û,¢êÜyú+éÞµIì¹» ®ÞÛi³ÿåËl²«qç讧zßåËlþX¬¶)ߣ÷(º¸®ë ®
