Remote DoS
Hi Guys, Anyone aware of a remote DoS against qmail? We we're attacked this weekend and attackers were able to crash SMTP without affecting any others services in the machine. This was _not_ the multiple RCPT TO: problem. I run qmail 1.03 + qmailqueue patch + qmailscanner under tcpserver limiting memory resources to 7 MB. []s Davi de Castro Reis

This problem may allow bad guys to send hate mail, or threatening mail using your server and keep their anonymity. Presumably the vulnerability scanner considers this a problem because some MTA has a fixed space buffer for the Received: header, and if the HELO argument is too long it leaves insufficient room in the buffer for the sender IP and timestamp, which come after the HELO argument. Note that this problem has little to do with buffer overflows; even if proper bounds checking is done it still leaves insufficient space for the additional information. qmail has no such problems. For qmail-smtpd, commands.c is the first stop for input from HELO. commands() in commands.c saves the HELO argument into a dynamically allocated string using stralloc, calling die_nomem() if it runs out of memory. In other words, if qmail-smtpd doesn't abort for lack of memory, the argument is stored in its entirety. The next stop for the HELO argument is smtp_helo() in qmail-smtpd.c. It sends a 250 response to the client. Then the argument is passed to dohelo() in qmail-smtpd.c. It is copied into an stralloc string, again calling die_nomem() if stralloc fails. When it comes time to generate the Received: line, qmail-smtpd has spawned qmail-queue, which should be ready to pass the message through to a queue file. received() in received.c passes each part of the Received: line to a buffer layer, effectively causing the HELO argument to go straight through qmail-queue into the queue file. qmail-smtpd will reliably handle any length HELO argument up to the limits of memory, and if it runs out of memory it aborts the transaction entirely. 2)The remote SMTP server is vulnerable to a redirection attack. That is, if a mail is sent to : user@hostname1@victim Then the remote SMTP server (victim) will happily send the mail to : user@hostname1 Using this flaw, an attacker may route a message through your firewall, in order to exploit other SMTP servers that can not be reached from the outside. This is covered in the archives. What vulnerability scanner are you using? nessus points this out as a security hole. -- You can get my public pgp key here: http://foobar.gmxhome.de/joachim.txt
fixcrio question
I have been fighting a problem with SMTP delivery that appears to be a CR-LF issue.

repetitive receipt of email
Hi, I have strange problem with my qmail server. In couple of cases in last couple weeks I've got repetitive receipt of one email. Somebody sent to any user on our server the email, and this email wasn't delivered once - but the email was started delivered multiplay in various period (from minutes to couple of hours). And it last couple of days. It means, for example 30 receipts of the one email in 3 days. This multiplay emails are the same emails (the same message-ID, the same dates/times of delivering, ...) and it's not some spam - it is normal email. The other communication with the peer is normal (other email from the same person to the same person is normal). I have no ideas where could be the problem. I realized that this multiplay email are quite big (100kB and more). Further I realized that on our server are sometimes longlasting connections (tens of minutes) from smtp server from which that emails came from. Do have anybody any idea, where is the problem?

Large queue and iowait
Title: Large queue and iowait I'm having some problems with my qmail server. It seems to be taking an abnormally large amount of time to do queue processing. A recent mailing list send of 250k e-mail's to the server had it stuck in queue processing with iowait at 80-100% the entire time, for over 36 hours. I assume this is not a normal timeframe for processing that amount of e-mail. The setup is as follows: Sun Netra t1 - 450mhz ultrasparcII processor 1024MB of memory, 1.5GB of swap 18GB SCSI disk. Solaris 8 qmail 1.03 with DNS and big-concurrency patch If any other information is pertinent, please let me know and I'll provide it. Any insight into what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark -- s/root/Mark

Re: mailbombed
Add the domain to virtualdomains, like so: domain.com:alias-domain then create ~alias/.qmail-domain-default with a single hash (#) mark in it. then add a smtproute to localhost for the domain and restart qmail-send. The only problem with this is that all messages for that domain will be deleted, not just the person who got mailbombed.

In the user directory open up .qmail put the following string 2 lines, I use Maildir here, yes that's a dot in front of /Maildir and a broken pipe in front of if |if test -n `fgrep -x $SENDER badmailfrom`; then echo Go Away; exit 99; else e; fi ./Maildir/ Then put the senders email address in the badmailfrom file in the user directory, and it will delete every one of them.

Moving queue directory
Title: Moving queue directory I would like to move my queue directory to another location. Is there a feasible way to do this while qmail is running, or should I shut it down and move the directory, and then bring qmail back up? Thanks, Mark
Re: mailbombed
Jon, we recently had a similar problem (but not exactly) and ran into a cool python util we found on the qmail homepage: It goes through the queue and moves the files into a filter dir, and you can do what you want with them from there.. http://www.redwoodsoft.com/~dru/programs/mailRemove.py You can specify a string and it will move those mails with that string.
