RE: qmail 2.0 exploit

2001-03-04 Thread David Coley

You know you guys are all assuming a lot.  Who even says there will be a new
version of qmail.  qmail 1.03 is a very stable product... and stable is good
in the linux world... just wish other venders would be willing to produce a
product that was stable and then not muck with it until something truly
useful is added.  I'm sick and tired up updating software because one user
needs that "neat new toe clipping option".

Hi,

I have been running qmail for about 2 months now and everything has been
great :-)  I have a very simple setup.  I host web sites on the server using
Apache, and when someone uses a perl script though there web site, email
sent by perl script has a return-path of

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought qmail might use the username of the Apache web server as the
return-path but it doesn't.  Anyway to control what the return-path is?  I
have qmail setup to use the "alias" username to store mail and the Maildir
format.  So my /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file looks like -

websiteurl.com:alias-websiteurl

Any ideas?  All the best,

Jon





In the previous episode (03.03.2001), Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:
Anyway to control what the return-path is?

with qmail you can also use the command
sendmail -f sender adress recipient to send mails.
if your script uses that, you could thus define the "return-path", the
smtp envelope sender, to be precise.

qmail-inject -f would do the same.

man qmail-inject
should give you more info.

 Postmaster gets no mail first time. Well, no one gets them. This is new.
 qmail-inject now eats them.

 Yes, fetchmail can lose your mail if everything is not configured
 perfectly.  Might I suggest my own "getmail", which will not?  See my
 .sig for a link.  It doesn't do delivery by SMTP injection, which is a
 broken design.

I already had checked getmail. But it was not suitable, since I need QMail's
mail delivery.

In the meantime I know why the mails were "eaten". I forgot about using
mails having only "From:" and "Date:" fields, to avoid broken "To:"
behaviour.

qmail-inject does not know to whom to send the mail if it can not extract
the recipient from the header.

Not to mention that the permissions on the directory

   anyone who wants to applies patches as they see fit.
  
  I, for one, am hoping that 2.0 will have LDAP support which meets his
  standards.  
 
 As you said, the existing LDAP libraries are probably crap.  But why does
 qmail have to be patched to use LDAP?  Why not use a script which extracts
 user information from the LDAP database, puts it in passwd format, and
 feeds it to qmail-pw2u?  Then cron it every hour or something.  Voila,
 instant qmail+LDAP with no patches.  If you want to set it up with 
 virtualdomains-type use, have the script output qmail-users style output
 directly.

In many environments (including ours), it's not acceptable to wait an
hour or more (it takes our LDAP server about 2.5 hours to dump our 3
million user accounts into a text file, so significantly more) for a
password change or a change to mail aliases to go through.  Especially
if you have users changing their own forwarding, who need to be able
to test the changes.  If they're waiting 2 hours for updates to take
effect and are typo-prone, playing it by ear, or making changes for
the first time, it could easily take an entire work day to get a mail
forward or vacation right.

This approach is also pretty hard on an LDAP server.  Just to make a
rough estimate, in an average hour, about 10% of our users check their
mail, and about 10% receive messages, so you need to look at 20% of
the entries in LDAP.  If you dump it out, you need to look at 100% of
the entries, so it's requires 5 times more power.

While building a passwd-like file might work in some environments, it
certainly doesn't work for everybody.  That's why qmail-ldap exists,
and is gaining popularity.

LDAP may not be part of an MTA (although it certainly can be, if it

qmail also includes in qmail-local.  It's certainly as reasonable a
place to store account information as /etc/passwd, which qmail
supports without an extension.

While LDAP support may or may not be appropriate for the primary qmail

 straightforward to receive QMTP messages, but i'm not sure if there's a
 great way to decide when to send QMTP mail.

Or this one: http://www.qmail.org/qmail-1.03-qmtpc.patch

 hi all-
 
 i currently have a setup where one central mail server receives all mail
 for a primary domain, then redistributes it to subdomains (eg satellite
 offices) as necessary.  this is currently done with fastforward and SMTP.
 i'd like to try out QMTP, and use this to forward mail from the central
 server out to the satellites.  is there an easy way to cofigure the cenral
 server to know who it can/should speak QMTP with?  it seems very
 straightforward to receive QMTP messages, but i'm not sure if there's a
 great way to decide when to send QMTP mail.

Go to http://www.almqvist.net/johan/qmail/qmail-qmtpc.html, download
the patch and read man qmail-remote on mailroutes.

Fix your DNS -- you cannot deliver mail until DNS knows who you are:

gregw@frodo:~$ dig mail.mynewdomain.ch

;  DiG 8.3  mail.mynewdomain.ch 
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;  mail.mynewdomain.ch, type = A, class = IN

SNIP

gregw@frodo:~$ dig mx mynewdomain.ch

;  DiG 8.3  mx mynewdomain.ch 
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;  mynewdomain.ch, type = MX, class = IN

SNIP

I even went so far as to query an authoritative NS for .ch -- NXDOMAIN
all the way.
