[Mailman-Users] chroot jails (Was: First-time poster...)

Glad you got it fixed. I'd like to take this opportunity to make a few comments about chroot jails, this is not directed at you or your choice to use them but rather as a general comment of interest to the wider community. For what its worth I see this as a prime example of why I no longer recommend people run postfix (and other services) in a chroot jail. We stopped shipping postfix chrooted several years ago after observing the inordinate amount of problems it created for a marginal security win. Postfix is now often configured to interact with a host of other software components (SASL, TLS, SQL databases, LDAP directories, mailing list managers, spam filters, challenage/response authentcation methods, etc.) and as such its tenticles reach deep and wide. Trying to keep all these diverese elements in sync in a jail is a headache and a source of numerous problems often ascribed as bugs but which aren't. Even Wietse Venema the author of postfix no longer recommends the use of chroot jails although this was a design center of the original postfix security model. Chroot jails can be broken out of. Even without chroot jails postfix maintains a fairly robust security profile because of its design. Finally, with the advent of SELinux (yes, postfix, mailman, and apache are under the control of SELinux on Red Hat systems) the value of a jail is greatly diminished in favor of the vastly more robust security model inherent in SELinux. In fact it might be a reasonable statement that SELinux is itself a system wide jail enforced at the kernel level for every process and every object (e.g. files, sockets, devices, etc.). It is a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) sytem which means it cannot be defeated and offers great granularity (and unforuntely its own set of new headaces as the wrinkles in the security policy are ironed out ;-) -- John Dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Re: [Mailman-Users] Messages not delivered *RESOLVED*
I just thought that I would report on what I've found. I setup another copy of Mailman on a different server and created all of the exact same test lists I had on my live server. However on this server I did not install Jim Tittsler's patch to allow another list to post to a list. I just copied the users who could post to the list into the Addresses that should be accepted. I created a quick and dirty program to send emails to all of the lists as different user names. After running 30 tests I had no problems with any messages getting lost. So today I changed all of my test lists on my live server so that they no longer use a list name to verify who can post to the list. I just took their names and pasted them in. I ran another 30 tests and again had no problem. So to me it seems to be this patch that caused my problems and the patch works great if a user only posts to a single list, but if they post to multiple lists then that's when the problem arose for me. So now I have another question. Is there some way that I can automatically add a name to the List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted? For us this list changes on a regular basis and I'd hate to have to go through our 20+ lists and update them all manually?

On a consistent basis it appears that only 4 of these lists get the message. If I look at my postfix log I see that the message was processed successfully yet when I look in the mailman/qfiles/in directory I only see the message come through to 4 of the 6 lists (I know this partly because the message get stuck in the que). It's not the same 4 lists each time that the message comes through to either and there are no messages in any of the other directories under qfiles/. I see nothing in the Mailman log files that indicates any error. It's almost like postfix hands the message off to Mailman and then things go haywire. Does the postfix log show that the message was piped to the wrapper for all 6 lists (i.e. six deliveries)? Mark, I believe it does. I've included the partial log for each of the 6 lists I mentioned. I didn't know if it would help any but I figured it was worth a shot. The interesting thing I noticed was that testtwo, test3, and test_6 all show 2 bounces in the log file as well yet for both tests I ran today I actually got both messages from these 3 lists. I got one message for the list test_5 and it had one bounce. I got 0 bounces for list test and test_4. I got one message to the test list and got none for list test_4.

[Mailman-Users] Forwarding a Moderated Message/Content Type
I want to ask something before I send out a message to a huge list. The message is an HTML message. I setup the list and subscribed three people, then sent the message as a test. It came through perfectly. I have now subscribed all my users and am ready to send the message to the list. Right now it is in the moderated queue. From that Web page, I used the option: Forward messages (individually) to: The message I received from this forward DID NOT look correct. The content types of the two messages are different: Correct HTML: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; Incorrect (Forward): Content-Type: message/rfc822 Looking at the headers for the forwarded message, it looks like it wraps the original content in a plain text message... If that is true, when I approve the message it should go through with the correct Content-Type, yes? Before I send out this massive mailing, I'd like to make sure I am doing this correctly.

[Mailman-Users] Messages silently dropped after being approved
I am having a problem with messages sometimes being silently dropped after being approved. I successfully get the message telling me that there is a message waiting for approval. I then use the web interface to approve it. The approval is noted in the vette log. The message is copied to the appropriate archive. However, it does not appear in the post log, nor in the smtp log (and, of course, the message is not sent -- nothing appears in the log of my mail server). There is nothing in the error log. If I restart mailman, and then send a message again, the process works as expected (i.e. I can approve it and it actually goes out). As a workaround, I tried a cron job that would stop and start mailman every hour, but that doesn't appear to help. (I guess it only helps if I restart mailman after the problem has occured). I'm running Mailman 2.1.5 on FreeBSD 5.4. I am using a modified version of the LDAP member adaptor for the lists in question. For that reason, I am fully prepared to believe that it is something in the LDAP member adaptor (or my modifications) that is causing the problem. But as there is no error message in the log, I'm a little at a loss to figure out what is going on. If anyone has seen something like this and can offer suggestions for tracking it down, I would be most grateful. Perhaps my best bet would be to set up a test list (with just myself as a member, so as not to annoy the list with test messages) and try to reproduce the problem. I could then put some logging statements in the Mailman code to see if I can narrow down where the problem occurs. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
