[mailop] any postmaster or contact to knauf.com around? delivery issues

2024-04-30 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi,

knauf.com is accepting much of our delivered mails, however afterwards
probably drop them as recipients reported via phone, that none of the mails
arrive in their mailboxes.

Mail to postmaster@ and a known contact at knauf.com did not yield any
response so far.

Apr 23 10:12:54 mx3 postfix/smtp[654640]: 724585DCFA: to=<
postmas...@knauf.com>, relay=mailstream-eu1.mxrecord.io[172.65.245.214]:25,
delay=51, delays=0.36/50/0.18/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok:
queued as 4VNvxf1pTvz2CcMQ)

Sender-Domain IP is in UCEPROTECTL3, however none of his sending systems.
Bad thing is, that this is one of the cluster-ips from IONOS/1&1, so many
of our senders, having their domains hosted at IONOS/1&1 are currently
affected even though non of the mail-sending systems appears in any
blacklist.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

[mailop] Communication / Feature Requests & Bugfixing in OpenXchange

2023-10-25 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Dear Mailops,

anyone in here using OpenXchange? We are still evaluating OX but having a
hard time to get real informations or feedback at all.

a, I made some feature-recommendations ¹²³ in the forum, not a single reply
:/
Even a reply like, we do not accept requests this way would help.

b, There are public announcements regarding securty/patches and CVE-numbers
in release notes
(
https://software.open-xchange.com/products/appsuite/doc/Release_Notes_for_Patch_Release_6251_7.10.6_2023-09-25.pdf
)

but no public information regarding the bugs or bug-numbers
(CVE-2023-29051, MWB-2315).
Jira-System ist not public: https://jira.open-xchange.com/browse/MWB-2315

So it's hard to rate the impact for own installation.

Would be nice to have some more communication especially if a feature
requests will be considered.

Thank you.

Hi folks,

we are still evaluating OpenXchange but having a hard time, finding an
active community around this software.

The public bugzilla tracker was shut down¹, the public forum is more or
less inactive and the official mailing lists are announce only² lists.

Are there any other places to discuss technical issues/topics with other

For example, we can not display/process ICS-files in users inboxes³.

[mailop] Open-Xchange - user source/management - best practice?

2023-05-03 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Dear Mailops,

I'm evaluating open-Xchange and hoping to reach some of you that also use
it and can find some answers as the public open-xchange forum is rather
dead and no mailinglist exists.

How do you maintain the OX-own user-database and keep them in sync with
other directories(LDAP,ADS) regarding new/deleted/modified users?

Currently we have all user information in LDAP but OX seems to be only able
to use LDAP as authentication source and requiers to have all users at
least in it's on DB. That makes it rather complicated as I need to have a
kind of sync in place.

A previously available tool called oxldapsync is deprecated¹.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

2022-08-26 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi folks,

are 2 DKIM-signatures in a mail with different s= but for same d= a problem
in general?

According to RFC 6376 4.2 i would say no, the receiver should check both
signatures and not perm fail on the first, however we see some trouble with
some recipients:

Log from receivers:

We have 2 mail worlds, that send mail for same domain. Sometimes, a mail

[mailop] WG: Best practices for outbound rate limiting?

2021-04-28 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi Nami,



incoming rate limiting works fine, if your users send through a mailsever, that 
can deal with the 400-errors, your MTA generates, throttle and try again later. 
However if you have mail clients that send, a 400-error is a real error to the 
user and they probably do not even understand, whats going on and will try on 
and on.



Also outgoing rate limiting should be in place to not annoy other mailservers.



Additonally i always like to learn from users behavior. So i would not only 
limit amount of mail, i would also scan for spam/virus etc and monitor all of 
it.



Spammers do not only send many mails at once, they send also at very low rate 
but ongoing. Rate limiting would not take care of this.





Stefan Bauer.

Hi,

we have a small semi-open-registration mail server (not systemli.org, in

case you are wondering) and we would like to learn more about best
practices for rate limiting outgoing mail. We are using postfix.

We don't want to restrict our users too much, but obviously we also care

about not burdening the mail ecosystem with spam, and it's possible,
though not very likely that spammers find out how to automatically use
our registration mechanism.

The smtpd_client_message_rate_limit option seems to do the trick, and we

are thinking about setting it to 20 - is this enough to make it
unprofitable for spammers, but not annoy our users? What are your
experiences?

Thanks,
Nami

Re: [mailop] Delivery issues with gmx recipients

2021-03-12 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Might be related with the recent DMARC changes announced by 1&1.









-



Just a short info to whom it might interest:

Very soon, we will go live with DMARC check on incoming mails for all mailboxes 
operated by WEB.DE, GMX & mail.com.
That covers several hundred of recipient domains [1] and roughly 50% of the 
German email users.

For now we will handle reject and quarantine policies equally as quarantine. 
GDPR compliant, aggregated DMARC reports will follow as well (without giving an 
ETA). 

Best regards

Hi,



I'm planning to operate a mailman list and want to make sure, that Reply-To is 
untouched (seems to be default on MM3) and From is list-address and Sender is 
list-bounce address.



However i do not see a simply way in MM3 to specify that. The settings - per 
list - only offer



Anonymous list (Yes/No)

Hide the sender of a message, replacing it with the list address (Removes From, 
Sender and Reply-To fields



but thats not what i want. Would be great if anyone on this list that operates 
a MM3 list could please share some infos.

[mailop] What's the point of secondary MX servers?

> At least in EU/Germany, that is against the law (GDPR/DSGVO)

Would you please elaborate? Either on list or direct, your choice.



If i setup for customer-domains MX records in a way, that a third-party is 
handling/processing meta-data or even mailcontent, i have to inform my 
customers about that and ask permission. If third-party is outside EU, there is 
not even a legal basis anymore since a few weeks, that would allow me to do so 
at all (see privacy shield got canceled). In all cases, I will be held 
responsible for my customers data unless third-party is signing contracts with 
me to accept  EU privacy laws. EU has severe penalty for companies, breaking 
the GDPR/DSGVO law.

Grant,



Project Tar looks like a privacy nightmare to me.

Routing my mails to a stranger in case senders just don't honor the standard 
and dont talk to my primary MX.

They promise to reject, but who knows. At least in EU/Germany, that is against 
the law (GDPR/DSGVO)



Stefan



Von: Grant Taylor via mailop 

I prefer a slightly different approach.

1) Point the primary MX at a server with nothing listening. It will
send TCP Resets. -- I know this as "No Listing", a varient of "Grey
Listing". -- I have yet to see any negative side effects wit this.
2) Point the secondary MX at your main mail server. -- Business as usual.
3) Optionally - Point the tertiary at your backup mail server.
4) Point the last MX at something like Project Tar.

We use low priority MX records on newly deployed hosts to be able to monitor

If all looks sane, we bump the priority after a few hours/days.

Betreff: [mailop] What's the point of secondary MX servers?



As we all know, MX records have a priority number, and mail senders
are supposed to try the highest priority/lowest number servers first,
then fall back to the lower priority.

I understand why secondary MX made sense in the 1980s, when the net
was flakier, there was a lot of dialup, and there were hosts that only
connected for a few hours or even a few minutes a day.

But now, in 2020, is there a point to secondary servers? Mail servers
are online all the time, and if they fail for a few minutes or hours,
the client servers will queue and retry when they come back.

Secondary servers are a famous source of spam leaks, since they
generally don't know the set of valid mailboxes and often don't keep
their filtering in sync?  What purpose do they serve now?

R's,
John

PS: I understand the point of multiple MX with the same priority for
load balancing.  The question is what's the point of a high priorty
server that's always up, and a lower priority server that's, I dunno,
probably always up, too.

I run some mixed authentication. We check the source ip's¹ from microsofts

https://endpoints.office.com/endpoints/worldwide?clientrequestid=b10c5ed1-bad1-445f-b386-b919946339a7



Make sure, you monitor microsofts list of pub-ips so you keep up with new

I've opened support tickets but they went to evolveip.net with no response.

Here's what I used to do:

  - Admin | Exchange -> Mail Flow | Connectors -> create new connector
  - from 365 to partner
  - use when email sent to these domains
  - list domain names
  - route email through smart hosts
  - set to smtp.pccc.com

Has that setting been moved?  Does it not work with SMTP AUTH anymore?

there is a feature in O365 that forwards mails (in/out/both..) to an 
archive-mailbox for long-term archiving.

We grab this mails via pop. However our available mail-readers (Thunderbird, 
Kopano) show the original mail as attachment.

This is the „envelope wrapper“ format. It contains the _final_ recipient(s) of 
the email (eg after aliasing, distribution list expansion etc), and contains 
the original email - headers and body - unchanged. The advantage is that the 
archiving process does not need to do any of the logic Exchange does (no 
further LDAP lookups etc).


I understand. Are there any command line unix tools, to split off, the original 
mail?



This makes it very hard for handling/searching/reading of these mails.

Are there any tools available to just have the attachment that is the real and 
original mail?

These messages are typically read by an email archiving solution (mailpiler, 
mailarchiva, cryoserver, mailstore etc) for long-term storage, full-text search 
and other features.


We already purchased an archiving software but unfortunately can not handle 
"envelope wrapper" format accordingly.



Thank you.

Re: [mailop] keeping rejected mails in queue for second attempt acceptable?

-Ursprüngliche Nachricht-
Von: Ralph Seichter via mailop 

* How and when would you decide that the recipient responding with 5xx
was due to the message itself or due to a blacklisted IP address?
That's not something that can be decided based on SMTP.

You are right. I can not rely on any sub return-code or error-message as others 
also stated here.

But sometimes the error messages are clear and also the intention of the 
recipients so one backs off.



* Can you unilaterally decide if it was acceptable to withhold the
non-delivery status from your customers?

Of corse not. However there could be an opt-in for senders so they give the 
delivery completely in other hands.

It's just a theoricaly question to see the pro/cons. And i now starting to see 
some of them.



* Are your customers OK with not being informed about your problems due
to blocked IP addresses, or do they feel misled regarding the quality
of your services?



Informing the customers of service disruption is important to stay transparent 
and something we do. However should it be primary happen by bouncing mails back 
that in most cases, are not clear to the sender or will be read at all? There 
are (also) other channels to bring it to customers attention.



* Why not solve the underlying issue of having your addresses blocked?




You know, as you are a mailop yourself, it happens from time to time. There is 
no silver bullet and for this rare cases, we are trying to deal with it in a 
more modern and better way.

Just some examples, that we have seen the last years:



- we change hostnames of our mailservers but other MX have outdated/old 
DNS-informations. I'm not talking about the TTL, sometimes anti-spam appliances 
cache DNS-informations for more than one week. Thats what we saw.

- other MX detect portsans from neighbor-networks and decide to block the 
parent-network (/23 in our case)

- other MX rely solely on geo-location of sending ip or have outdated 
informations as networks have changed owner



> I dont want to bother my users with bounces and have them send mails
> over and over again until problem is solved.

As a hypothetical customer of yours, I'd insist on knowing about every
failed e-mail, especially if it was due to problems on your end. If you
cannot address the issue that gets your IP addresses blocked, I would
choose a different service provider. A mistrusting individual might
interpret your "don't want to bother" as "don't want to risk losing".



Sure and by default, a regular bounce is and should always be the default 
behavior. But as stated earlier, it could be an opt-in option to have mail 
delivered without another sender interaction.

If this is a real benefit for the user, it's reasonable to think about making 
it an option.

[mailop] keeping rejected mails in queue for second attempt acceptable?

2020-06-06 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi,



once in a while, some of our outgoing customer mails are rejected by remote 
sites with a 500 code because one of our sending IPs are temporary blacklisted. 
or due to other reasons we are not able to deliver the mail. I'm only talking 
about cases, where the mail itself, is not the reject reason.



I'm thinking about not bouncing this mails back to my users, and give them 
another try after the problem is solved with remote site.



Is this acceptable / sounds like a good idea?



I dont want to bother my users with bounces and have them send mails over and

[mailop] hostedemail.com contact - IP manually blacklisted - 116.203.31.6

2020-05-18 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi,

one of our sending IPs (116.203.31.6)  seems to got blacklisted by 
hostedemail.com. However this ip adress is not blacklisted. We monitor around ~ 
50 public DNS-BLs.

Feedbackloops did not generate a single report yet.

Can anyone bring some light into this?

smtp May 18 16:04:19 mx3 postfix/smtp[19286]: D292C5DEF0: to=, 
relay=mx.domain.net.cust.b.hostedemail.com[64.98.36.4]:25, delay=26310, 
delays=26303/5/1.2/0, dsn=4.7.1, status=deferred (host 
mx.domain.net.cust.b.hostedemail.com[64.98.36.4] refused to talk to me: 554 
5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [116.203.31.6] blocked using 
urbl.hostedemail.com; Your IP has been manually blacklisted)

thank you.

Too bad - no mails to ewe for now and no response back from them.

If anyone has a EWE/EWETEL contact, would be kind if one could reach out to 
them.



thank you.

Hey Stefan,

we hadn't any problems with them. We wrote them about our block on 14.01. and 
they did respond on the same day.
When did you wrote them ? Did your wrote postmas...@ewetel.net or did you wrote 
postmas...@ewe.net ?

Based on their answer, i think they have a internal list with dynamic ip ranges.

Best,

Hi,



it's just DNS round robin for our senders. did not had a sigle issue with that

Still thinking, that ewetel/ewe just uses ancient RBLs, that reports the

Hi Stefan,

This could also happen because your PTR record of sending IP address resolves 
with 3 IPs e:
IP  116.203.31.6 - PTR securetransport.cubewerk.de - IPs 178.254.23.77; 
116.203.31.6; 188.68.39.254

I know that technically it is nothing bad but, I can imagine why some sensors 
could return errors, especially since the 3 IP addresses are from different 
ASNs:


I guess those 3 IPs are set as fallback in this situation?

I am not surprised that Ewetel has guessed wrong:
whois 116.203.31.6 -h whois.ripe.net <http://whois.ripe.net>

[mailop] reputation with DKIM when d= differs from sender domain?

2019-11-14 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi,



this list is of great help for me to be a good mailop. thank you.



Now the question:



Is it bad - in terms of reputation - when domain in dkim-header (d=...) differs 
from senders address?

signing is done correctly and pub-key is present at domain of corse - specified 
with d=...



like d=mydomain.com

Sender is Stefan 



And how is it with subdomains?



d=mydomain.com

Sender is Stefan 



I could not find anything in the RFC.



Thank you.

[mailop] winmail.dat TNEF - howto behave?

2019-11-14 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi,



we run some antispam-mailservers with ~ 10.000 mails / day for our customers.



Due to emotet and stuff, we started blocking some file extensions with great 
success. Sometimes "bad" attachment slip through as they are encoded by TNEF.

Our spamfilter is not able to de-code it. Not even some of our Mailcliens can 
read the attachments at the end.



How do you treat "TNEF-mails" in your environment?



blocking doesnt sound right but sometimes i feel lilke i should just to show 
that proprietary stuff is bad.



Thank you.

[mailop] Avoiding bounces - custom spamfilter behind real-spamfilter that reject mails

2019-10-24 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi,



here is a thing, that we do not see a real solution to it and would be happy, 
to get some ideas from other mailops.



We are doing MX-spamfilter service for some customers and forward "clean" mails 
to customer mailservers.

We are doing recipient-checks before accepting mails.



Sometimes, customers feel clever and have another local mailfilter on site, 
that rejects mails, after we already have accepted them at spamfilter level.



So the reject generates bounces at our spamfilters. Howto handle this?

You've hit the nail on the head... "if the customer permits it". We've
had this discussion before, so I thought you knew that we have rwhois,
it's simply an opt-in system that many customers don't opt-in to.

I would love to hear about these easy steps. I have a long list of

Hi Stefan,

Yes, it is fairly popular with ESPs (X-Report-Abuse, X-Complaints-To are

fairly common sights). Also web hosting providers and commercial SMTP
services (like you) tend to add a few custom headers to identify specific
subscribers. It's not universal by any means but I'd recommend it for the
service you're offering.

And, to to be fair, RFC 6648 (which is a best practice not a standard)
depreciates the use of the "X-" prefix in favour of general meaningful
custom headers (e.g. Complaints-To) so doing that is probably better.

Does that answer your question?

Ken.

   domains and b) you receive a copy of messages sent to them.
 * Restrict access to the submission port to either the client IP range.

 * Lock accounts after X failed logins and get an alert about that.
 * Have a third (failover/fallback) sending capability with a different
   data centre. Periodically route enough email though that to ensure that
   it will not be throttled in case you need it. But, don't use it as a
   primary.
 * Understand what your normal usage profile looks like - graph the mail

   queues. This will help you build policies / tech. around detecting
   unusual behaviour. E.g. tougher throttling outside of business hours
   etc.
 * Add a custom header (X-abuse) to make it clear where the email came from
   and how to report abuse of your service.
 * Make it clear on your website how a non-customer can contact you to
   report abuse.
 * Run a cut-down spam filter on the outbound mails (look for stuff like

   freemail reply to addresses, fuzzy checksum hits, spam URLs). Some of

   that will be false positives so just put it into a holding queue and
   create a service desk ticket for it to be reviewed.
 * Have a clear upgrade path if case they wish to send marketing emails. If
   you don't, they will just try to send them through your platform.
 * Publish an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and make them agree to it as a

   pre-condition to using your service. Spamhaus have a good template to

   start from on their website.
 * Monitor bounces and tie that it with your monitor solution.
 * Monitor the health of your clients connecting IPs (and possibly
   website). Any indication of a compromised site is grounds for locking

   the account until a human can review. 
There is likely more, above is, as I said, off the top of my head. Good
luck.

[mailop] Howto be a good mailop (best practice / insights wanted)

2019-05-08 Thread Stefan Bauer via mailop
Hi,



we're providing a small smtp sent-service for our customers (via submission 
port / auth only - postfix). ~ 7.000 outgoing mails / day (via 2 hosts in 
different data centers/ip networks).



As the amount of mails increase, we would like to be ready for



- stolen auth-data to our service is used for sending spam



- broken clients send thousand of mails/minute



- one of our pub-ips get blacklisted / rerouting traffic?



- ISPs block our complete provider networks (and we are included)



- Perm-blocks with 5xx, always return all 5xx to senders?





How do you guys prepare yourself for this?



we have in place:



only allow pre-defined sender-addresses after auth

monitor mail-queues for high connection count

monitor RBLs if we're listed

only allow single mail / 5s to be sent outgoing

anti-virus checking of attachments



Would be awesome to get some insight how "big sites" handle this and maybe 
other cases.



Thank you!



Stefan
