Bad sectors on boot disk

[aretes27884]

I'm getting console messages like:

 wd0a: uncorrectable data error reading fsbn 530469 of ...

I found this page:

  How to repair bad sectors on HDD in OpenBSD (Part I)

at:

  
https://www.s-vp.com/blog/post/how-to-repair-bad-sectors-on-hdd-in-openbsd-part-i

Question 1:
  Is it possible to repair "wd0a"?
  Do I need another boot disk to do the repair?
  I'm in the process of building another boot disk with the identical OpenBSD 
version. I'm assuming it will take less time this way since I can copy the 
settings from a backup.

Question 2:
  Once I build the new boot disk mentioned in Question 1 I thought I'd clone it 
and keep it up to date using rsync. Is the page:

  OpenBSD 5.5 and later | cloning a disk the easy way

at:

  
https://bytesandbones.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/openbsd-5-5-and-later-cloning-a-disk-the-easy-way/

Is this set of instructions complete or is there a better set of instructions? 
Will this disk be bootable after cloning or do I have to install OpenBSD on the 
clone first to make the disk bootable? Is this a suitable way to maintain a 
spare clone of my boot disk? My data is kept on other hard disks in my system.

Thanks, Joe.
PS. My email web page flashed so I resent the message. I hope this gets 
through. Sorry if it's a duplicate.

Re: OpenSMTPD "syntax error" and other problems

[aretes27884]

The "smtpd.conf" man page states:

relay [backup [mx]] [as address] ...
...
If the as parameter is specified, smtpd(8) will rewrite the sender advertised
in the SMTP session. address may be a user, a domain prefixed with ‘@’, or
an email address, causing smtpd(8) to rewrite the user-part, the domain-part,
or the entire address, respectively.
...

I tried this:

relay as "@my-domain.com"

But I get a "syntax error"?

MS Outlook users get "550 Invalid recipient" errors when trying to send mail
outside of our domain. The mail log entries are like:

Jan 16 07:36:28 myserver smtpd[70549]: b76cb7a2aa7f61b8 smtp
event=failed-command command="RCPT TO: " result="550
Invalid recipient"

Using the command "mail" to compose a message and send it works.

My "smtp.conf" is:

listen on all
pki mail.example.com certificate "/etc/ssl/my-domain.com.crt"
pki mail.example.com key "/etc/ssl/my-domain.com.key"

table aliases file:/etc/mail/aliases

accept from any for domain "my-domain.com" alias  deliver to mbox
accept for local alias  deliver to mbox
accept from local for any relay

# relay

relay as "@my-domain.com"

Small Business email server using OpenSMTPD

[aretes27884]

I'm trying to move a small business email server from an older OpenBSD using 
sendmail to one with OpenBSD 6.0 using OpenSMTPD.

The current email server has:
- a certificate (used by StartTLS)
- MS Outlook clients using pop3 to retrieve their mail
- OpenWebmail for non-local client access

I've not found the correct search results to show to how to do this. What I'd 
really like to find is an example "smtpd.conf" showing the required entries.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Thanks, Joe

USB2 disk running at USB1 speed

[aretes27884]

I have a USB2/Firewire external drive with a removable tray I use for
backup. When the disk is connected in the following sequence:
1. connect USB cable
2. insert disk on removable tray into enclosure
3. turn on power switch to drive
4. turn on key to power disk
The backup runs at USB1 speeds. If I change the sequence to:
1. insert disk on removable tray into enclosure
2. turn on power switch to drive
3. turn on key to power disk
4. connect USB cable
The backup runs at USB2 speeds. The difference is backup times is quite
dramatic. A few hours for USB2 and most of the day at USB1. The disk is
properly mounted at the start and unmounted at the end of the backup.

The portion of the dmesg added when the disk is attached is:

umass0 at uhub3 port 5 configuration 1 interface 0
umass0: JNC Incorporated USB2.0 Storage Devic?, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2
umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
scsibus2 at umass0: 2 targets
sd0 at scsibus2 targ 1 lun 0: HDS72251, 2VLAT20, 0 0 SCSI0 0/direct fixed
sd0: 117800MB, 117800 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 241254720 sec total

Disconnecting the disk adds these line to dmesg:

umass0: at uhub3 port 5 (addr 2) disconnected
sd0 detached
scsibus2 detached
umass0 detached

Why am I getting this behavior? Other than using method #2 to connect
the disk to my system, is there anything I can do always get USB2
speeds?

no incoming message for sendmail

[aretes27884]

Today I upgraded my mail server from OpenBSD 3.7 to 4.0 (patches 2 thru 10 
applied) and even though ps -aux shows sendmail: accepting connections 
(sendmail) I'm not getting any incoming messages. I tried several times to 
send myself messages and had others send me messages from various services but 
noting is coming in.

To create my sendmail.cf file I started with openbsd-proto.mc and filled in 
my domain information. My my.mc file is (minus the dnl lines:

I've removed the STARTTLS and CLAMAV settings I was using. I copied the 
/etc/mail files from my previous installation:
- relay-domains (contains my domain)
- local-host-names (contains various names for my server)
- aliases (aliases.db created using: newaliases)
- access (access.db created using: makemap hash /etc/mail/access  
/etc/mail/access)
- all other /etc/mail files are unchanged
I also set the confLOG_LEVEL to 15 so that I can see more information on the 
incoming and outgoing messages thinking that would help. I see nothing for 
incoming message but lots of information on outgoing messages. 

sendmail.cf was created and sendmail was started using:
cd /usr/share/sendmail/cf
m4 /usr/share/sendmail/m4/cf.m4 my.mc  my.cf
mv my.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
kill `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`
/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -C/etc/mail/sendmail.cf -bd -q30m

These lines from pf.conf in my firewall redirect incoming traffic to my mail 
server. This worked before I upgraded.

ext_if = xl2
myAddress  = 192.168.0.1
mailServer = 192.168.2.2
rdr on $ext_if proto tcp from any to $myAddress port 25 - $mailServer port 25

My ISP supplies a router/DSL modem (Cayman Model 3346 DSL Ethernet Switch) and 
I've redirected all it's incoming traffic to my firewall.

I don't know what might have changed from OpenBSD 3.7 to 4.0 in sendmail. Does 
anyone have suggestions for what might be the problem with sendmail? I wouldn't 
think my ISP would block my incoming messages.
