IPCHAINS and slow POP/SMTP access
Hello, I've searched the archives on this topic and though there are a lot of people who have reported this issue, I have not really seen a solution yet. I have a Linux box (Redhad 5.?) which I use as a firewall/server/NAT machine. One ethernet card is connected to an ADSL modem and has a fixed IP address. The other ethernet card is connected to a mini-hub and has the address of 192.168.1.1. I have a set of Mac's connected to the hub with addresses 192.168.1.100 and up. I've got Qmail running just great for both SMTP and POP!! However, as soon as I activate my firewall (using ipchains), sending or receiving email from a local machine takes over 3 minutes!! In the archives, some people have speculated that this is a DNS issue or a problem with auth. I have TCP port 113 (auth) opened to the world (local and internet) and am still having a problem. I suspect that there must be some other port I need to open up. Does anyone have a suggestion of where I can go from here? I am a bit new to Qmail and not too familiar with the debugging tools. By the way, I do not have DNS active on my Linux box and am relying on my ISP's DNS server (they have my domain name set up in their server). Doug

What do you mean by ``for one user''? Do you mean you share a POP mailbox with someone else and you want to tell whether a message was for you or that someone else? Or do you simply mean that you want to filter depending on where the message is _from_? In the former case, fetchmail has a multidrop mode; read the manual page, fetchmail(1), for more info. In the latter case, look into procmail; qmail has a script that delivers mail through procmail by default at /var/qmail/boot/proc+df. All the help you need in writing the filters are in the procmailrc(5) and procmailex(5) man pages. If you're delivering to a Maildir, as you suggested above, make sure that the folder specified in the procmail recipe ends with a slash. fetchmail: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/ procmail: http://www.procmail.org/ Hope it helps, ---Chris K. -- Chris, the Young One |_ Never brag about how your machines haven't been Auckland, New Zealand |_ hacked, or your code hasn't been broken.

vpopmail/qmailadmin with fetchmail and maildirsmtp: where to start?
Hello, I run a small internal network. All mails for the employees are transfered through an isdn dial-up line. I use fetchmail, qmail therefor, mails are sent by using maildirsmtp. Every mail-user needs an own account on this linux router, which is not needful for the normal work. Now I installed vpopmail and qmailadmin to change this, but I dont know where to start! How do I have to configure fetchmail to transfer the mails not to the system users (I fetch mails from a multidrop mailbox with pop3)? What else do I have to change? And how should I handle these users, which still needs a user account on this router/gateway/mailer as well as a mailaccount?

This question is for those of you who use qmail and vpopmail to handle virtual domains. I would like to get some information on how many virtual domains on one box you have and if you also provide web services off of the same box.

They get no mail delivery yet there are no obvious errors that they see.

Re: RBL list
Tonino, I think I spoke too soon (only on my first cup of coffee)... Specific entries will have been cached if they have been seen before, but not necessarily the whole list.

To get the RBL list you need to go through some extra steps. The last time a checked you needed to sign an agreement not to hold MAPS liable for problems. Also note that when keeping a local copy of the list, you have to worry about what happens when MAPS takes some set of addresses off the list. There are ways to get complete copies of some other RBL styled lists. You might try looking at the primary web site for each list you are interested in to see what their policies are.

RE: questions about performance and setup
I did some benchmarking using a standard 7200 RPM disk and a 128MB ramdisk. The machine was not using any swap, so there was no chance of the ramdisk accidentally making it to disk. In short, performance on it sucked. The throughput was about 10% less than IDE, but seeks/sec were 5-10 times more. However, the CPU was maxed at 100% during tests to the ramdisk.

How much disk will be sufficient for the queue? 1GB? More? It's not so much a matter of disk size (I don't think you'll have a 1 gig queue!), You could quite easily get a 1 Gig queue, even if you don't run into the obvious problem of temporary loss of network connectivity. Say you've got 200,000 subscribers and you generate your messages twice as fast as qmail can send them, then when you've finished generating the messages you've still got 100,000 in the queue. If the messages are 10Kb each, that's 1 Gb. (I can put 2GB of ram in the box)? Linux has support for making a disk in memory, putting a filesystem on it and mounting it. Wouldn't this take care of I/O problems? That's about as good of I/O as you can get, I would imagine. ; ) As another author stated, the largest gain would be in writes, but that's where the largest expenditure is anyway. Just make dang, dang sure that your machine is NOT going to have any hiccups or lose power while the queue is full, or you'll instantly lose it all. What if you put the 2 Gb RAM in the box, but let Linux use it as a disk cache? I'm not sure how the disk caching under Linux works, but if you create a file and then delete it before it actually gets written to disk, is there any disk activity required?

To get the RBL list you need to go through some extra steps. The last time a checked you needed to sign an agreement not to hold MAPS liable for problems. Also note that when keeping a local copy of the list, you have to worry about what happens when MAPS takes some set of addresses off the list. There are ways to get complete copies of some other RBL styled lists. You might try looking at the primary web site for each list you are interested in to see what their policies are.
Netscape Progress Patch
Are there any downsides to using the Netscape Messenger progress patch?
In other words, does it violate the standards in such a way as to
potentially break any other clients?
Reminder of what patch does:
replaces "okay();" in qmail-pop3d.c with
puts("+OK ");
put(strnum,fmt_ulong(strnum,m[i].size));
puts(" octets\r\n");
Thanks!
RE: IPCHAINS and slow POP/SMTP access
Since ipchains is a not really a firewall but a packet filter, you need to make sure you have the line: ipchains -A input -s 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -d your public IP/255.255.255.255 -p 6 -j ACCEPT ! -y Make sure your firewall also accepts all packets from 192.168.1.0/24 also. Ipchains configs are sorta off topic, so if you have any other questions just email me instead of the list. Check these 2 things though, you probably already have them, but make sure. Chances are you don't even need the ipchains rules with the masquerade though, depends on what's running on the firewall box. You machines behind it are inherently protected by the fact that you're using port address translation for net access to them. Jay -Original Message- From: Doug Oucharek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2000 3:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: IPCHAINS and slow POP/SMTP access Hello, I've searched the archives on this topic and though there are a lot of people who have reported this issue, I have not really seen a solution yet. I have a Linux box (Redhad 5.?) which I use as a firewall/server/NAT machine. One ethernet card is connected to an ADSL modem and has a fixed IP address. The other ethernet card is connected to a mini-hub and has the address of 192.168.1.1. I have a set of Mac's connected to the hub with addresses 192.168.1.100 and up. I've got Qmail running just great for both SMTP and POP!! However, as soon as I activate my firewall (using ipchains), sending or receiving email from a local machine takes over 3 minutes!! In the archives, some people have speculated that this is a DNS issue or a problem with auth. I have TCP port 113 (auth) opened to the world (local and internet) and am still having a problem. I suspect that there must be some other port I need to open up. Does anyone have a suggestion of where I can go from here? I am a bit new to Qmail and not too familiar with the debugging tools. By the way, I do not have DNS active on my Linux box and am relying on my ISP's DNS server (they have my domain name set up in their server). Doug

Re: questions about performance and setup
What if you put the 2 Gb RAM in the box, but let Linux use it as a disk cache? I'm not sure how the disk caching under Linux works, but if you create a file and then delete it before it actually gets written to disk, is there any disk activity required? Sure, the disks will be thrashing away, trying to keep up, but would the I/O actually block if there was still room in the disk cache? Yes it will block. That's the whole point of the fsync() calls embedded within qmail. The code wants to be sure that data is on disk before proceeding. The only caveat is that some file systems may *lie* about the results of their fsync() and tell the process that the data has been placed on disk when it still sits in memory. In that sort of scenario you may well gain, especially if the I/O queue is subsequently sorted by cylinder prior to sending to the disk. As others have said, it's the cost of seeking - the amount of data is often trivial. Thus the concept of zeroseek which is pretty similar to what a journalling file system is trying to do on a more general level. Regards.

The PERC 2/DC and 2/SC (Dual Channel and Single Channel) are just AMI MegaRAID controllers with open source drivers included in the standard kernels. The PERC 3/Si (and maybe the PERC 2/Si?) are the Adaptec RAIDPort controllers with closed-source drivers. You have to wait for Adaptec/Dell to release new precompiled modules that can only be used with specific kernels that Redhat releases. But, the PERC 3/Si is much cheaper than the 2/DC if you are on a budget, need RAID, and don't care about having the latest kernel.

Re: questions about performance and setup
To be honest, I'm not aware of being able to disable UTIME either, although NOATIME is an option on Linux as well. I asked because it occured to me that this meta data is not terribly useful to mail servers (as the times necessary are stored in the data files themselves). Being able to shut these off may or may not reduce performance penalties of fsync()'s. Might be an issue for the ReiserFS or EXT3 people to think about.

Defining as local and not remote
Hello all, I was wondering if I could get some help with a small problem I have. I have configured my qmail, and it is running fine. I have made sure that it is not an open relay, but I found one small glitch that I would like to fix. I have been successful stopping relaying to outside hosts using tcpserver, but any message starting with a Message ID can be delivered to an outside host. I would like to stop this. I realize the importance of having the Null Message headers for bounces, but I would like to stop the ability to send from my server to an outside site without a Message ID. Thanks for your help.
Re: Defining as local and not remote
Quoting Robert Spraggs ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I have been successful stopping relaying to outside hosts using tcpserver, but any message starting with a Message ID can be delivered to an Do you mean anything with a null return path? qmail doesn't give a whit what's in the message-id, nor does it relay to anywhere just because the return path is null. Only connections that have RELAYCLIENT set or to recipients in rcpthosts are accepted for relay. If this is really the behavior you see, you need to provide information on your qmail setup--any patches, addons, etc that you have applied or using that may cause this sort of behavior. The results of qmail-showctl and the IP address of the server in question would be nice, too, so others can test it. Results of your relay tests (telnet to port 25, for example) may be helpful. To be sure, I've never seen such behavior by stock qmail, so something is rotten in Denmark. :) Aaron
How do I stop this spam test from failing?

I have tested with ORBS and the test comes back as allowing the message to process, but the message never actually gets delivered, so I know that it is not acting as a relay. It would be nice for the test to fail so that these spam controllers have absolutely no reason to put someone on the list. Thanks.
Re: How do I stop this spam test from failing?
You don't get added to ORBS unless they receive a relayed mail back from you. In addition, you don't get added to RSS unless someone has forwarded them a piece of UCE which has been relayed through your server. So you have some sort of problem or misconfiguration besides what you have pasted here which is allowing spammers to relay through your host. --Adam On Tue, Jul 18, 2000 at 12:27:11PM -0700, Robert Spraggs wrote: I have been put on the RSS and ORBS list because this test keeps failing: MAIL FROM:spamtest@[199.175.103.1] 250 ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[199.175.103.1] 250 ok DATA 354 go ahead (message body) 250 ok 962278341 qp 3683 /var/local/maps/rss/bin/rly: relay accepted - final response code 250 Is there any way to configure Qmail to stop this type of mail from being accepted?

Re: How do I stop this spam test from failing?
I know. I had a misconfiguration problem earlier, and I am trying to rectify the situation. I was wondering if it was possible to setup the qmail so I do not have this problem in the future. I figure that if I disable that feature in the qmail, then I should knock out about 99% of the possible ways that a spammer could use my system as a relay again. Wrong thinking? Thanks.

Second, that rule 192.168.2.:allow,RELAYCLIENT"" is not formatted properly. It should be RELAYCLIENT="" -- although I must say the formatting error would not cause unauthorized relay. It would seem you're obfuscating your IP addresses, or else really using reserved IP space? If the IP address isn't in your rules file and setting RELAYCLIENT, with stock qmail and a working tcpserver with rules, I can only think of one thing: the message is accepted by another mail server in the 192.168.2.0/24 network with your qmail server as its smarthost. There's no other way to relay through stock qmail if you have a rcpthosts file present. RELAYCLIENT *has* to be set, period. So, what was the IP address of the connection that initiated that mail transfer? Don't obfuscate, show us the real stuff, and the tcpserver logs. Aaron

RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[199.175.103.1] What normal use would there be for such a message construct? Back in the day with sendmaul, this would send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] via 199.175.103.1. Nowadays, I'd say use is pretty much restricted to spammers who try to get around anti-relay configurations, and who are often successful due to MTA bugs and admin-induced holes, hence the need to test servers for such flaws. qmail will bounce the mail after it fails to find a local user named "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". qmail accepts all local deliveries unless not allowed by badmailfrom or similiar. Like Adam said, it's nothing for you to worry about, since the relay tester will never get a reply back. Aaron

several mail domains on one machine
Hi, I got real confused about reading many different sources about how to setup and configure Qmail, but can't solve my problem at all: I need to run several different mail domains on one machine, but any one with different user accounts. Sample: mail.one.com(users A, B, C) mail.two.com(users D, E, F) mail.three.de (users G, H and A, D) Of course a mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is not allowed, and so on. Any mail domain has it own user base. Qmail is installed and seems to run fine. But no matter what I tried I can send mail to user A in any configured domain, not only to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also tried fastforward, no changings. Thanks for any help, Thomas
