Hi.

You don't indicate what kind of rewriting you mean.  It probably 
doesn't matter, since you seem to feel that mailing lists have to 
follow some relevant standards. that would sustain SPF validation. 
However I don't have a guess at what standards you have in mind.


I also don't understand how SPF validates, when mail is simply relayed 
through an MTA that isn't pre-registered in the SPF DNS record. Are you 
thinking that it is natural and reasonable to pre-register all of the 
MTAs in a path, up to the receiving one that does SPF validation?


Please enlighten us.

I was a very early (even in testing) user of SPF,  It's rather commical 
reading these FUD sayers about SPF and mailing lists, it has never been 
a problem with mailing lists, not using mailman nor its more common 
predecessor majordomo, and I've never noticed anything wrong with qmail 
users ezmlm.


If you have used some half baked concoction that doesn't conform to 
standards that's not an SPF failure, it's yours. I've enforced and 
published SPF since get go, I did extensive testing and never found ONE 
instance of a list problem.


As for forwarding, SPF is only a problem if you dont follow standards 
and re-write. Nearing two decades of SPF use (forget exactly its been so 
long) never had a mailing problem sending or receiving with SPF and I've 
always published hard fail, rarely forward Email, and it seems our 
customers don't either.


If it was so dooming and earth ending do you really think I'd be using 
it privately, let alone commercially (a couple top 5 national "end user" 
ISPs & one with web hosting)  for all this time, no, I'm not a 
masochist.

Re: [mailop] Question for Google -- how am I able to be added to google groups without opting in?

2022-06-16 Thread Noel Butler via mailop

Thankfully most who run lists have morals :)

Something you'd think Google would have, but perhaps its relies on the 
fact certain dnsbl's have made it known to the big boys they wont be 
listed, luckily not all think that way, funnny this I'm sure this is a 
no no in the USA, perhaps not it seems.


Even if the law of the land does not require it, it is the right thing 
to do in being a good netizen.

I'd concur with your action should it occur, but it's not uncommon... 
Mailman Mass Subscription offers you the ability to do the same thing: 
(screenshot):


Above are my instance's default settings but I could select 'No' for 
welcome message and directly subscribe someone to one of my lists. I've 
actually done so, when migrating a mailing list between hosts.  With 
consent, is the main element (and here in New Zealand, I imagine the 
legal constraints are much like Australia's).


Turns out I still have admin rights to a Google Group, so I had a look, 
here's the relevant dialogue for adding people: (screenshot):


... so the bad guy has deliberately selected 'directly add members', 
which is valid functionality. The act of doing so without consent is 
what makes it illegal.


Good luck prosecuting :(

Does Google have the ability to at least 'score' groups (and their 
owners actions) based on negative reports ?


Not that it takes much to register another junk gmail.com address 
anonymously and start again I suppose...

Conversely, it may not be best move, plenty of orgs in Australia went

As for website/Email, cloud providers think they are the only ones who

hosting, for decades, and technically that's cloud, just with a new name 
some marketing wanker decided to call it (few things Richard Stallman 
and I actually agree on, but THAT, is one of them) orgs have been doing 
long before amazon, linode, etc were conceived, and long before google 
and microsoft decided they wanted a piece of that pie too.


It may not be the best overall strategy going forward to block spam. 
Maybe it blocks some spam, but likely interferes with other large 
corporates in cloud from communicating with a higher than acceptable 
false positive rate


Not the best strategy for who, it certainly works for many, we care 
about our users, not theirs, and for near 30 years I've maintained I 
will never inconvenience 100K people, just to make 100 happy.


Every organization choosing to use this IP space SHOULD insist that MS 
give them SWIP or 'rwhois'.



Otherwise you may look like the many spammers using their IP Space.


Or make it well known in whois - just like google does - the IP range is 
of their customers usage only, unrelated to their core business 
(search/gmail/etc), so google gave that thought to keep any remote 
blocks away from their core, microsoft, not so much thought.

You can get a small cheap reliable VPS for around 10 USD a year from 
likes of host.us that would be perfect for what you want, install 
postfix, dovecot and you're up and running if all you want is a personal 
domain.


You can add on amavisd/spamassassin/clamav to deal with vermin as you 
get time, you can then add opendkim and dmarc also as your time permits.


As has already been stated, your initial setup should always involve 
setting  your matching DNS correctly, create SPF records, and use a few 
DNSBL's to stop the rot.


- That said, if your internet is reliable, I've run my personal mail 
server on a spare PC at home for family, extended family, and a few 
friends, for decades with next to no issues, also means if I changed 
employers I don't have to have downtime moving it all the time, I'm

There are a few ranges of linode's blocked here

I'm hosted at linode and I manage 100+ mail servers there. To be

over the past 6 years, this is the first time I encountered a problem.


No blocks, emails to gmail/hotmail/yahoo go to inbox, never being 
blocked by spamhaus and the servers are super fast. Their API is their 
selling point, since I can manage my own servers with my own tools 
(ansible in this case).


This recent incident with Microsoft is a sore spot and so far a unique 
occurrence.

Since you bring it up, I have seen on this list several times Linode

terrible for hosting mailservers
I have also seen that for other hosting platforms (AWS for instance).

I have never seen someone say "platform X is fantastic at hosting
mailservers".
Is there a platform that doesn't instantly provoke the response:
"Well, of course they are blocking you, you are on platform X"?

Yep, I know you, Sendgrid, told me that you'd be working on it with 
Zoom.  And, as expected, nothing ever happened and they still keep 
coming.


Should I just give up hoping that anything will ever be done about it

Because, lets be honest here, based on what others are reporting, it 
looks like that I'd have an easier time trying to broker world peace

Yep.  This message is written in anger, and I'll probably be accused of

But, frankly, if you (Sendgrid) or them (Zoom) ain't going to do jack 
shit, then don't fucking tell me you are "working on it".





Actually, I think you put it rather nicely, much more polite than I 
would, but how long has sendgrid been around, they still cant figure out 
how to add the auto submitted header so their junk doesnt get all those

Both of those slack arse companies have been blocked for 30 days here on

Maybe I need to be clear that I both use Roundcube, and operate it on a

Perhaps I missed something.

Sure, but you are not exposing it to all and sundry are you, you are

irc opers, facebook, google, microsoft admins, and so on, your not 
exposing it for say, me, or your neighbours to look at - unless you

If I send someone an email, I expect my email address to be presented as 
the sender. However it's relatively easy to forge these and very 
inexpensive to create a large number of disposable email addresses. 
There's such a large number of operators that full transparency is not 
available, and the headers failing to provide a link to the last-mile 
network provider just adds to the anonymity.  And when we're guaranteed 
anonymity, we know that people will take advantage for negative effect.


But your email address is not the same as your IP address which is not 
the same as a residential address


As for your 'authority to see it' comment... if I typo a web address in 
my browser, that's on me, but i'm giving my IP away to the person who 
operates the DNS server and webserver. Anyone can do this, so a

What is it with some people and believing that all ISPS perform DNS 
logging, do ISP's in your country really log every DNS request? Then 
your best using tails if you're that paranoid about it, or a VPN. I mean 
 most people on this list are from USA, not all like yours truly, but 
most, I really dont see every USA ISP logging DNS requests of all of its 
users, it is one reason why I'm outspoken against DoH, sending all your  
DNS requests to cloudfare, centralising the internet.


If you use an SMTP mail client your home IP is given away. Plenty of 
webmail services log an HTTP(S) Received: line . I guess i'd just 
expect Roundcube to do the same.


as above, it does

What purpose will it serve for the victim to know the IP of the person 
causing them harm?


If the only info you have is the mail service provider, and that mail 
service provider is a huge, freemail operator, noone is going to expect 
any real consequence to come out of reporting abusive activities.  The 
ISP is the party who's going to (more likely) have an actual commercial 
relationship with the malicious party.  Onceuponatime these may have 
been the same parties, but no longer, ... if i'm reporting nefarious 
behavior I'd want to get as close to the actual offender as possible, 
an anonymously-signed-up-to freemail service is not going to care too 
much... they might block the account, there'll be ten more signed up in 
as many minutes, rinse and repeat.


There is always accountability, just it might be a slower process in 
some cases.


Most ISPs have a similar AUP, which also aligns with most freemailers - 
I'm no fan of them, but they are not the topic of this discussion which 
is roundcube, which is hardly used by freemail providers, so any problem 
you have with a RC user, is likely the actual ISP/Hosting provider where 
there is a contractual agreement, so again I see no problem that needs 
solving

The problem I see is the OP wants the rules in dovecot, to also apply to

I'm sure even the country with the worse privacy laws wont allow that.

RC has rcguard which works well, and as mentioned by another poster

neither do the RC team if this is as is claimed a "long standing" issue

As to the anti privacy brigade, suck it up, we are network operators, if

Let's try I again.  I said "for these two functions".

The original query, as noted in the Subject line, is for IMAP and 
SMTP.


How does reputation for SMTP activity interact with IMAP activity?

And what does reputation mean, relative to IMAP activity?


I can see a hypothetical scenario where a client is running a firewall 
that is filtering connections based on IP reputation.  So if an SMTP 
server is erroneously listed, said firewall might block the IP, thereby 
blocking the client's access to the IMAP server if it was on the same 
IP as the SMTP server.


But that surely is the mail operators fault, if an abuser on say 25 or 
587 results in everything being blocked, that's too heavy handed and 
they accept the end result for their paranoia.


I use a more measured heavy handedness ;)

if one abuses any of 25|465|587  they are blocked  on all of 25/465/587 
with a lengthy filter time
if one abuses any of 110|143|993|995 they are blocked on all of 
110/143/993/995 with a slightly shorter filter time


Not saying its perfect or ideal, as always YMMV, but it's worked well 
enough for me for many many years.


O.P

I used to run separate ip's and names way back in the day, but in the 
end, it did cause CSR's more grief, so for past 15 years or so using 
just mail.domain removed most of it, and yes as someone else mentioned 
earlier, when you need to scale, load balancers, that's what they were 
designed for :)


If you get biggish though it helps to keep the mx side of things 
separate though using its own name and perhaps behind its own LB too.


You don't need to go out and buy one of the criminally overprices "brand 
name" things that cost 10's to 100's of thousands, maybe if you get to 
size of Microsoft or google you might, but for most of us here, nah, our

Re: [mailop] DKIM signing with ed25519 keys - leap of faith

2021-10-14 Thread Noel Butler via mailop
opendmarc was very recently updated due to a security issue IIRC, I 
think was end of May start of June, v 1.4.1. Might have been on 
spamassassin list.


I had a discussion with that person who's told me opendkim (which wont 
build on current supported openssl's without a patch), is being worked 
on next - though he gave me no time frame.


I do share your concern, if we are all applying a patch for past year or 
2, it would take mere minutes for them as well and update the site, so 
people can at least build it and use it, and add anything new afterwards 
for another release, given this was about 5 months ago now, it's obvious 
they don't seem to give two 's about it really.

I've tried to get in touch with the OpenDKIM developers with little

Some poor dev seems to make a few adjustments here and there, but with 
no real commitment.


They seem like dead projects to me.

1) install OpenDKIM
2) set it to use rsa-sha256

What means two things: first, self-host email admins might simply be 
not
aware of ed25519; Second, OpenDKIM seems to be the most popular tool 
for

this job (please correct me if I'm wrong here).

Worth noting that OpenDKIM's latest stable release was in 2015, and 
latest

beta in 2018. The app seems to be in somewhat active development on
Github, but to see it you must switch from default "master" branch to 
more

active "develop" one.

Ed25519 signing and verifying is supported in the latest beta, but
dual-signing is not supported at all.

So maybe someone bigger than me can approach those guys and ask them 
to
add a dual-signing (issue #6 in their github), and make a release 
already?


Also, someone could've implemented DKIM signing primarily in hope to
increase mail _deliverability_, not _security_. Note that there is a
support.google.com page titled "Prevent mail to Gmail users from being
blocked or sent to spam" which also mentions DKIM signatures.

So maybe to make a wide public interested in ed25519, one of big 
players
could start a _rumor_ that using ed25519 DKIM signatures _might_ 
increase

chances that your message passes GMail spam filter?

After all, they were able to push everyone to turn to HTTPS in 
WWW-world,
so why not do the same in SMTP-land? Heck, I have a friend who annoyed 
me
hard enough that I've enabled TLS for outgoing SMTP connections just 
so
that he could see a gray padlock in his GMail client instead of red! 
Given
that my VPS provider seems to have direct peering with Google, I doubt 
it

improves real security in any way.

Thanks for reading so much,

And what if your users because of being unable to communicate with

users (which is roughly equal to "almost everyone" for an average user) 
will

switch to Google and move their email there?

And BTW. in my opinion that's exactly what Google wants - that everyone 
uses

their services and nobody else's.

So just in order to stop people moving to GGogle we should be able to
communicate with Google :)


I have no doubt they rather people use their service so they can scan 
and scam them, but I don't and wont play their games, if the rest of you 
are too gutless to stand up the bullies thats more work for you, 
answering irate clients who want the spam to stop, how does that go down 
you telling them google is too big to block in your eyes - that, would 
be a faster way to lose clients.


Think what we will about Microsoft, even I give them credit in this 
area, they do a pretty good job when it comes to dealing with abusers on 
their network, no reason google can't.

postfix reported nothing, so must check for appropriate response codes,

Re: [mailop] Anyone using clustered DoveCot?

2021-01-23 Thread Noel Butler via mailop

Hi Tom,

What did you want to know?

load balancer multi imap, pop3, smtp with dovecot using NFS to EMC 
storage backend works exceptionally well.


but we dont use director, thats an unnecessary extra cog in the wheel 
thats not needed for a functional system despite what dovecot will try 
tell you, redirecting someone to same server is job of a good hardware 
load balancer, plenty use NFS backend without director for many many 
many years, it scales very well, add or take away servers when you need, 
do upgrades by one down at a time, nobody has ever noticed it.


We do it slightly different though, we dont use lmtp, we use dovecots 
LDA on the smtp servers accepting/storing mail direct, and yes, we use 
maildir.


it might be old skool, where the new kds on hte block want to use 
clusterfs, but no, thast asking for trouble, and lots of media horror 
stories about mail down fr days at isps around teh world justify 
avoiding it, good ol NFS " just works"

On the whole yes.

With shared hosting and content delivery networks ISPs have access to
less of the relevant netflowdata - which means Cloudflare wins again ? 

perhaps, but they are trying to force a change on 99.999% of the
world where the problem does not exist. 

Even here  in Australia with meta data retention laws, web browsing and
DNS are specifically excluded, like much of the rest of the western
world, admins dont care, Australia, like Europe also have strong privacy
laws. 

Mozilla and cloudfare centralising the internet might be fine if your
from China or North Korea, but its unacceptable in the rest of the
world. 

The world of shared hosting wont matter too much, because they will know
which site on that IP your hitting, if they want to. 

At present there are work around yes, but if they take them away, there
are still ways and means to deny DoH, and I guess it will mean way less
support staff will be needed, reducing CSR operating costs, which should
also result in less system admins

Many would. 

The original announcement on this said they WERE logging requests, for
30 days, then the data would be destroyed, magically, that announcement
no longer existed a few weeks later, perhaps it was meant for internal.
I dunno, even if Matthew Prince came here and said they were not
logging, I still would be VERY skeptical and not take him at face value.
I don't trust organisations that want to try centralise the Internet. 

But don't worry, I don't trust google facebook IBM or Cisco either.

Wouldn't worry too much about it, they've had problems with their mail

And good luck getting anyone to talk to who can understand your problem,
you're palmed out to their non Australian call centre monkeys who are
less then useless in philipines, with COVID-19 its even worse with only
a handful working from their homes due to philipines govt lockdown, they
employ SFA people in Australia where tech support is regarded as
essential service and are exempt personnel  (major telco Telstra is
same, except they have urgently hired 2500 local people over past few
weeks because they have learned their lesson about cheap offshore call
center labor)

US courts have ruled that providers are allowed to block under 47 U.S.
Code § 230.  Pretty much reaffirms the whole private ownership thing.

I was more saying, if I know you are litigious piece of crap that
doesn't respect my rights to control unwanted e-mail, then for my own
sake it was better if you not have access to ANY of my systems at all
from the start. 

Absolutely, our network our rules will always win the day, but when you
are one of the huge guys in the business, you cant be as anal about
things like the smaller guys can, contradicting myself here though as
I'm not sure I always agree with that, such as I dont believe in certain
DNSBL's policy to never blacklist certain freemail providers because
they are too big . poppy. nobody is too big if they send enough trash.

That will never happen, precedent already set, remember that West
Australian super spammer from decades gone by, forget its name, he tried
that after a DNSBL (SORBS from memory??) blocked his trash, the courts
ruled they can block whoever they like, now might just be aussie, but if
your in the commonwealth at least that does hold weight, not sure about
in US but I dare say a defendant can use such a precedence to sway even
a US court.

Smartscreen has never been smart, it did this exact same thing back in

No FUD at all. You are just relying on some recipients not enforcing
your -all.

We have a lot of students forwarding their emails to external mailboxes
(usually freemailers even though they have more options here).

I can show you all kinds of examples where the forwarding is rejected in
those cases because the new "sending IPs" are from our machines, not the
ones listed in the From's SPF record.

And no, I don't do SRS, because I don't want to do workarounds to
support a protocol that was broken by design in the first place.

It's your decision (-all) that you don't want these mails delivered to
the recipients, so I don't really care.

Yes FUD, SPF is acting a designed. 
If its forwarded, it should reflect SPF record of the forwarding server,
not the from domain, thats the problem of the forwarding configuration.

ancient FUD 

I was a  very, *very* early adopter of SPF, I always hear these claims,
but my mails always get through SPF tests (much to the annoyance of some
LOL), and I use hardfail -all.
