Re-sending selected e-mail messages
I need a way to automatically re-sent stored e-mail messages according to some criteria and like to ask for advice or suggestions for an already existing solution before I start reinventing the wheel. :-) The messages in question are stored in MH format. This is a tree where a mailbox equals a directory, and the individual files in that directory equal the messages. They are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., and so on. Each message is in Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable or Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit or maybe even Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit text format. Some of them might contain an attachment, which is included in the file with something like --Multipart=... Content-Type: ...; name=... Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=... Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 --Multipart=...--- Some messages are fully multipart. So when iterating on ~/Mail/sent/1,2,3,4,5,... I get all the messages. Each third line, To:, is the criteria to look at. If it matches a given recipient, the mail should be sent again. This can easily be done by the system's mailer which is properly configured (and uses ISP's MX), so | mail -s maybe new subject is possible. The message should already be properly pre-composed.

How to achieve E-Mail Notification on root login?
Hello, given there is a FreeBSD system with users in the wheel group, what is the best practise to send out a notification via E-Mail if one of them becomes root via su? In an ideal case the E-Mail would contain the user name and the time. I thought about using sudo but this is not in the base system which I would prefer.

Furthermore, one should realize that any setup would only be guaranteed to report the first breach/login. In other words: after the first notice that someone logged in as root you can no longer trust that you will get further notices (assuming that the emails safely arrive once they have actually left the system in the first place). Unless you can somehow verify that your notification system/setup was untouched by the person who logged in (e.g. since you were the one that actually logged in as root).

Yup. I can see two ways around this, and the first one is ugly.
1. Rename su and make it executable only by root, so you can't bypass
the part that handles the email alert:
# mv /usr/bin/su /usr/bin/sulocal
# chmod 700 /usr/bin/sulocal
2. Create a script in a directory accessible only by root:
# cat /root/bin/emailalert
#!/bin/sh
echo root login by `/usr/bin/id -un` | exec /path/to/sendmail -t
exit 1
3. Replace /usr/bin/su with a small setuid C program to call the
script and then run the real su, something like:
main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) {
system(/root/bin/emailalert);
execve(/usr/bin/sulocal, argv, envp);
exit(1);
}
The second (better) way is to have your logs immediately forwarded to
another host specifically set up for intrusion detection, install a
log-monitoring system there, and send the message from there. This way,
the original logs are more likely to be intact when you investigate.

This will not work if your host has some private addr which is NAT'ed by a
router; the real test is ask some remote side how I do apear to you?
ofc you could do this as well by SSH'ing to some side and asking with
netstat(1) there (which may be shows another NAT'ed addr too :-))
Trust me, the above lynx is the nearly only robust version.

E-Mail scaling question
Hello All, My company needs a [new] e-mail solution for a product rollout. Rather than have a few e-mail domains with lots of addresses, the solution we need is for a very few (mostly one, very rarely more than 3) accounts on upwards of tens of thousands of domains. I can't find any info on scaling sendmail or postfix to this many domains.

downloading e-mail is blocking network
Hi, I'm having a strange network problem. Every day, when I turn on my computer, fetchmail is started and procmail is putting all my mail in the correct mailboxes. This takes some time because I receive a few hundred e-mails a day (mostly mailing lists). The strange thing is that when the e-mail is being downloaded, all other network traffic seems blocked. So browsing the internet is not possible when fetchmail/procmail is busy. At first I thought I had a problem with DNS and/or DHCP and/or my ADSL modem because after a reset of the modem, the problem mostly went away, and there were some hostname not found errors in my logfiles. But today I just waited for a while and discovered that when fetchmail/procmail is finished, the internet suddenly was reachable again. So has anyone has seen fetchmail/procmail blocking network traffic before?

No, there's no library for `email processing' in the C standard. You
can probably find a lot of non-standard ones, by Googling however :)
It's worth writing that plain C is the wrong language for this sort of
thing, if you ask me. There are excellent high-level libraries in Perl,
and Python to do this sort of thing. Email processing is going to
require a log of string processing, and C is notoriously 'tricky' for
this sort of thing.
As an example of the expressiveness of using a higher level language,
you can display the authors of all the messages in a UNIX mailbox with
the following short Python script:
import mailbox
m = mailbox.mbox('/home/keramida/mbox')
for message in m:
author = m['from]
print author
This is not just a `readable pseudo-code-like example'. It's *real*
Python code, that you can run _now_ in your Python shell.
To perform a similar task in plain C you will need several dozens of
lines of code, and it won't necessarily be as readable. It _may_ be
faster, in some cases, but it will probably won't be as 'safe'.

thing, if you ask me. There are excellent high-level libraries in Perl,
and Python to do this sort of thing. Email processing is going to
require a log of string processing, and C is notoriously 'tricky' for
this sort of thing.
As an example of the expressiveness of using a higher level language,
you can display the authors of all the messages in a UNIX mailbox with
the following short Python script:
import mailbox
m = mailbox.mbox('/home/keramida/mbox')
for message in m:
author = m['from]
print author
This is not just a `readable pseudo-code-like example'. It's *real*
Python code, that you can run _now_ in your Python shell.
To perform a similar task in plain C you will need several dozens of
lines of code, and it won't necessarily be as readable. It _may_ be
faster, in some cases, but it will probably won't be as 'safe'.

As far as I can tell the change was introduced back in 2002 when rmuser was
changed from a Perl program into a shell script - presumably as part of the
process of removing Perl from the base system.
FreeBSD versions 2.2 - 4.11 used the Perl version of rmuser, while all
5.x and 6.x releases have used the shell script version.
I have no idea if the difference - if the file rmuser looks for has a leading
'.' in the filename or not - was deliberate or simply a mistake, but I
suspect the latter: it is the kind of thing that is very easy to miss when
rewriting a program in another language.

FreeBsd e-mail question
Hi, I'm running Sendmail and Qpopper on FreeBsd. (And perhaps I ought to be asking this on the Qpopper list, but hopefully someone here knows an answer). We have all of our mailboxes in mbox format in /var/mail. When a customer pops his mail for the first time it creates a file .username.pop in /var/mail which never goes away, it remains as a zero byte file. It's quite useful as we can tell from the timestamp on it when the customer last popped his mail. The problem comes in when a customer cancels his account. We remove users by rmuser username. That command removes the user from the password file, removes his home directory and removes the mailspool. What it doesn't do is to remove the .username.pop file associated with that mailbox. This isn't a problem unless we add another account with the same username. The new account cannot pop his mail because he gets the following error messge: -ERR [SYS/PERM] Temporary drop /var/mail/.jjvc.pop not owned by jjvc.

Since rmuser is a shell-script, you could easily change it to suit your
needs. Look at the function rm_mail (lines 79-95), and change
'${login}.pop' to '.${login}.pop' in line 89,90 and line 92.
A more elegant approach would be to duplicate lines 89-93 and add the
dot before the login in the second instance, changeing pop3 to
qpopper as well.
If you make this change, do not forget to re-apply it after doing a
installworld. :-)

It really depends on what version of rmuser you have.
In /usr/sbin/rmuser, do you have something similar to this code snippet?:
if [ -f ${MAILSPOOL}/${login}.pop ]; then
verbose echo -n ${MAILSPOOL}/${login}.pop ||
echo -n pop3
rm ${MAILSPOOL}/${login}.pop
fi
...if so, try putting a . character before each instance of ${login}.pop.

rmuser is a shell script. There's 2 ways to solve this problem:
1) edit the rm_mail function in /usr/sbin/rmuser to use:
${MAILSPOOL}/.${login}.pop
2) Better option is to change the default temp-name in qpopper.config:
set temp-name %s.pop
so that rmuser will detect it automatically.

Is there anyway to have rmuser remover the mail drop file associated with
that account also, or am I just going to have to remove these manually?
rmuser is a shell script. There's 2 ways to solve this problem:
1) edit the rm_mail function in /usr/sbin/rmuser to use:
${MAILSPOOL}/.${login}.pop
2) Better option is to change the default temp-name in qpopper.config:
set temp-name %s.pop
so that rmuser will detect it automatically.
A third option is to write a wrapper shell script that first calls rmuser
and then removes the remaining mail drop file, and use this script to remove
users instead of calling rmuser directly.
Option 2) above sounds like a better solution though.

We have all of our mailboxes in mbox format in /var/mail. When a customer pops his mail for the first time it creates a file .username.pop in /var/mail which never goes away, it remains as a zero byte file. It's quite useful as we can tell from the timestamp on it when the customer last popped his mail. The problem comes in when a customer cancels his account. We remove users by rmuser username. That command removes the user from the password file, removes his home directory and removes the mailspool. What it doesn't do is to remove the .username.pop file associated with that mailbox. This isn't a problem unless we add another account with the same username. The new account cannot pop his mail because he gets the following error messge: -ERR [SYS/PERM] Temporary drop /var/mail/.jjvc.pop not owned by jjvc.

Thanks, Lisa Casey Lisa, rmuser only removes the system dependent files that adduser creates. You would need to creat your own shell script to remove the qpopper file and to call rmuser.

Thank you, Derek, but -- as I stated already -- I wanted to see, if this can

Doing so makes it very non-portable. This would make your cron changes
needed on any system and version you want to implement this behavior.
Since you posted your script, I'll comment on it. First of all, you don't
need
ksh for anything you are doing in this script. FreeBSD's /bin/sh is enough
(we aren't Solaris :-) -- but is 9 times smaller here (amd64).
I don't need ksh for the particular sample I gave you, which is pared down
from any I use. I posted a simple boilerplate that anyone who reads the
list can use. For most things /bin/sh works well, but the overhead of ksh
on a modern server is negligible.
Now, instead of redirecting each line of output into MAILFILE, then mailing,
and removing it, you should be either outputing everything directly into
mail:
{
cat $REPORT_LOG_HEADER
echo$MAILFILE
echo$MAILFILE
echo BR BR $MAILFILE
cat $REPORT_LOG_FOOTER
} | $MAIL -s the report name $MAILTO
This was done as an example. In many cases I have reports generated in
html, and simple email the URL of the report.
or, if you want to use the temporary file, use exec to redirect into it
_once_, instead of _on every line_:
exec $MAILFILE
cat $REPORT_LOG_HEADER
printf \n \nBRBR\n
$MAIL -s the report name $MAILTO $MAILFILE
$RM $MAILFILE
This may look nicer, but is not, because temporary files are nasty, and you
need to be sure, that you remove them in case you are interrupted (trapping
signals, etc.)
I removed the signal handling from my example as I didn't want to add that
much complexity. It is trivial to add proper signal handling.
I was surprised, one can not redirect into a pipe directly. The following did
not work, as I expected, with neither /bin/sh nor /usr/local/bin/ksh93. The
following, I thought, would be the same as my first example, only
nicer-looking:
exec | $MAIL -s the report name $MAILTO
cat .
But it is not. So you have to chose from one of the first two examples.
This is UNIX. Meaning there are many ways to accomplish tasks. Just
choose the tools and methods you want. I strive to make cron scripts
simple and portable. I support a multitude of servers running different
UNIX versions and flavors.

This is also one of its relatively annoying 'flaws' though. Care must be taken when bug reports are manually modified by a committer, and there are not very many tools to automake stuff like what you wanted to do.

Well, FreeBSD comes with sendmail. you really dunt have to do much, you can start with FreeBSD and sendmail as its, if you want to create real unix users then just use it as its, all what you need to do is #adduser and add your users! :) simple as this! For clients access, either they access using pop3 service or webinterface, Install qpopper from ports for pop3 access, as for the webmail i recommend www.openwebmail.org Ofcourse there is much deep things to look at _if you want_ but not a must as postfix, qmail, also, you need very litl changes to /etc/mail configuration files.

FreeBSD as a kiosk system for reading/writing e-mail
Hello, Does someone has an idea about this: - login as user 'kiosk' into FreeBSD and getting a desktop in (for example KDE); - launch a graphical MUA (for example Kmail, or a browser) which supports more than one identity, let's say [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on, and each user must somehow authenticate itself for the usage of its identity, at least by typing in the password for this identity; - the MUA is fetching by POP3 or IMAP the mail from some host or the underlaying FreeBSD, but they don't get mixed-up with the mails of the other identities in the folders of the MUA; The background idea is just to use the desktop, i.e. loged in once, as a kiosk for reading/writing mails of a group of people.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Why not set up a webmail interface, and lock down your favorite web browser as a kiosk?
