A cname is a perfectly reasonable response to a request for a ptr, and should just cause the resolver to restart the lookup with the name specified in the cname response.

[courier-users] Classless reverse dns and mail delivery
Hi Sorry if this is slightly off-topic. For the first time I've had to deal with classless reverse dns for a /25 subnet assigned to me. Thus, I've asked my IP provider to delgate rdns for the entire /25 to my dns servers. This is done in a way such that a reverse lookup looks a little different than normal by introducing an extra CNAME lookup step (see example below) and I'm simply wondering if I could run into problems with certain smtp servers when delivering mail to them from my courier server (slash.sentinel.dk). frede...@fda-lenny:~$ host 95.128.25.121 121.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 121.0.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa. 121.0.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer slash.sentinel.dk. frede...@fda-lenny:~$ dig -x 95.128.25.121 ; DiG 9.5.1-P3 -x 95.128.25.121 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 49385 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;121.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa.IN PTR ;; ANSWER SECTION: 121.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa. 86394 INCNAME 121.0.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa. 121.0.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa. 10794 IN PTR slash.sentinel.dk. ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: 0.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa. 4918 IN NS ns01.sifira-ums.dk. 0.25.128.95.in-addr.arpa. 4918 IN NS ns02.sifira-ums.dk. ;; Query time: 0 msec ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.33#53(192.168.1.33) ;; WHEN: Thu Sep 3 16:34:37 2009 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 144 Best regards, Frederik Dannemare -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I don't know who of the two (server or client) is actually reponsible for this, nonetheless, as you can imagine, it is very annoying to say the least. What happens is, that upon syncing over imap, the client loses many of its sent mails, or, I've seen also cases where they just were in the wrong auto-rotated month maildir. Anyone ever experienced this problem and came up with a solution / workaround? Could it be that the mail client is configured to only show subscribed folders? I've seen this multiple times with KMail, for instance. The cure in KMail is to merely deselect Show only subscribed folders for the IMAP account in question (alternatively, make sure to manually subscribe to new sent subfolders on a monthly basis or so). -- Frederik Dannemare - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

Am am not a Debian admin but I have access to a debian machine with this config, verified this immediately. :) So there must be a way to specify the domain name the system lives in. Hi The answer to this one probably lies in /etc/hosts where I'm guessing the FQDN is found. From man 1 hostname on a Debian Etch system (and, I suppose, most other Linux platforms as well): THE FQDN You can’t change the FQDN (as returned by hostname --fqdn) or the DNS domain name (as returned by dnsdomainname) with this command. The FQDN of the system is the name that the resolver(3) returns for the host name. Technically: The FQDN is the name gethostbyname(2) returns for the host name returned by gethostname(2). The DNS domain name is the part after the first dot. Therefore it depends on the configuration (usually in /etc/host.conf) how you can change it. Usually (if the hosts file is parsed before DNS or NIS) you can change it in /etc/hosts.

Sure, I may be missing out on some of the newer features, but so far just I haven't had a need to upgrade (and should the need ever arise, I would probably just consider backporting the version from Unstable myself). In conclusion I'd say: Courier from Debian Stable will work for many, and they will be happy with it knowing that it's not a moving target (hence the word stable).

See phenomenon on http://sentinel.dk/lurker/list/dansk-gruppen.da.html where a white space appears in the middle of a word in subject lines with æøåÆØÅ (only where mail is 8bit).

Not that this answers your question, but you could also quit using amavis and instead head for ClamCour http://www.becrux.com/index.php?page=projectsname=clamcour. I discovered ClamCour myself only a couple of weeks ago and I have been very happy with it as a replacement for amavisd-new. On my Pentium 166MHz with only 32 MB RAM it really makes a difference as ClamCour is more light on CPU and memory usage. -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Frederik+Dannemare http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

An individual installation may use case insensitive mailboxes, but an external mail server cannot make that assumption. Bugger.

Hello all,
I'm having trouble configuring courier aliases.
I have a virtual user on a virtual domain in a Mysql record :
- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This vuser/vhost works fine, I can send email to it and retrieve
email from it.
Now I'd like to make this vuser a catch-all on vdomain.com
I tried adding :
@vdomain.com: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and
@vdomain.com: webmaster
to my aliases file and ran makealiases each time but every attempt to
send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets a 550 user unknown error.
Any idea what's wrong ?
You should be able to do it kinda like this:
mailhost:~# su - courier
mailhost:~$ mkdir -p /home/courier/vdomain.com/alias
mailhost:~$ echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] \
/home/courier/vdomain.com/alias/.courier-default
mailhost:~$ mysql -u courier -p courier
mysql INSERT INTO users VALUES ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]',UID,GID,
- 'passwd_not_needed','/home/courier/vdomain.com/alias');
Let us know if it works.

Another way to do it, I think, would be to do something along the lines
of:
mailhost:~# echo | /usr/bin/maildrop -d courier \
/etc/courier/aliasdir/.courier-default
mailhost:~# chmod u+s /usr/bin/maildrop# maildrop needs to be setuid
root here, I believe (pls correct me, if I'm wrong)
cat EOF /home/courier/.mailfilter
logfile /home/courier/maildrop-filter-log
if ( ( /^To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ) || ( /^Cc:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ) )
{
to /home/courier/vdomain.com/webmaster/Maildir
}
if ( /^To:.*/ )
{
to /dev/null
}
EOF

[courier-users] dorewrite
Hi, I've been using Courier (smtp imap w/mysql) for a few months now, and I really don't mind that it is very strict when it comes to RFCs. However, I host mail for a few friends and family members, who really dislike not being able to receive mail from e.g. hotmail. Especially, when they receive an email with a binary attachment such as an image (it's rather difficult to see the image when it becomes a simple plain text attachment ;). To get around this, I simply took the source code (0.38.1) and grep'ed for dorewrite, and I changes all (about a handful) dorewrite=1 to dorewrite=0. I actually know nothing about c/c++ code, so it may infact break things. However, it seems to work for me. Receiving wacky-formatted emails is now possible (at least I haven't noticed anything bad happening yet). I know it is not the right thing to do, but I have really tried to make friends and familiy understand that it is an issue with bad email clients and not my mail server. But, you know, they just want to be able to receive email from anywhere no matter how broken a sender's email client may be. Like other Courier users I'd really appreciate if this thing gets implemented as a compile-time option, but on the other hand, I can understand why Sam and the other developers won't implement it. Broken email clients should really be fixed instead. Regards, Frederik Dannemare ___ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors. We supply the hardware. You get the recognition.
