rblsmtpd more verbose to sender
Hi! As we are getting more and more complaints from normal users trying to send us emails but being rejected because their mailserver is in MAPS or ORBS, we did set up a webpage with a little explanation and made rblsmtpd's return error message pointing to that webpage. The output of rblsmtpd is now something like this: 553 Open relay - see http://www.epigenomics.com/bounced.php3?reason=http://www.orbs.org/verify.php3?address=12.11.158.146 The patch is based on the RSS patch for rblsmtpd and just inserts an arbitrary string in front of the http://; found in most TXT records returned by MAPS or ORBS. The string is passed to rblsmtpd via a new argument -w .

rblsmtpd patch
Hi! I have made a patch to rblsmtpd that allows to call an arbitrary program whenever a connecting mailserver is in one of the lists. I use it to send the postmasters of this host and the respective domains a short mail saying that they have an open relay and they should fix it. This is maybe not what everybody wants, because it generates traffic. But I have my users in the back complaining about not getting mails from the outside. So I started to send out mails manually to the respective postmasters to close their open relays. This was getting too much work, therefore this patch: ftp://epigenomics.org/pub/oss/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.patch When rblsmtpd is called with the new option "-x /path/to/program", it calls the program every time a connecting mailserver is blocked and quits. It calls the given program, which gets all the environment variables from tcpserver and a new one set by rblsmtpd: $RBLMESSAGE, which is the message the connecting mailserver was rejected with. The program now can make decisions based on $TCPREMOTEHOST et. al. to do anything like sending mail to postmaster@$TCPREMOTEHOST. I do know that the error should show up in the logs of the remote host, but when they are misconfigured, it is likely the postmaster does not look into the logs. I do hope she/he is looking into the mailbox... In the ftp-directory is a sample bash script called rblscript that sends a short mail to the postmaster of the remote host. Please feel free to send any additions/corrections to me.

Re: qmail-local
Hi! I have now another solution, that is better, I think: There are two hosts, einstein and raman, serving the users home on both side of the WaveLAN. einstein is the main MX, raman the MX for the other side. ramanuser is a user behind the WaveLAN. On einstein the files ~alias/.qmail-ramanuser and ~alias/.qmail-ramanuser-default exist and contain "|/usr/bin/forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED]" The homedir of ramanuser is NFS-mounted on einstein from raman. The information is deployed via NIS. Under normal conditions einstein retrieves all mail and delivers them to the users homedir, for some user via NFS. Now if the NFS is not accessible because of an WaveLAN-outage, the ~alias/.qmail-ramanuser* files are used and the mail should be forwarded to raman via SMTP. And because raman is not reachable, the mail gets queued, generated by a temporary failure. Without that qmail-local would generate a permanent failure, resulting in a bounce message. The setup on raman is similar, it provides local mail delivery on the other side of the WaveLAN. Any comments? Greetings -- Robert Sander www.gurubert.de

If the address wound up being handled by .qmail-virtual-default, then $DEFAULT would have been vdomain-user. It's the portion of the address that matches the -default part of the .qmail-... file. I see, I just thought -default matches the complete [EMAIL PROTECTED] part. Then it is very (and more performant) in .qmail-virtual-vdomain-default: |/usr/bin/forward $DEFAULT should do it.

That'll deliver the mail locally. If you want to do that, just make it a local domain. I don't think that's what you want to do. If all mail for this domain is to be sent off to some other server, just list the domain in rcpthosts, remove it from locals and virtualdomains, and put: vdomain.foo:mailserver.for.vdomain.foo in control/smtproutes. Unless I misunderstand your original question, this is all you need to do. It was not my original question. But the thread was useful to me because I have a setup with a mailserver handling several domains and every user is a local one. I have set up virtualdomains in the described way to handle them. But $DEFAULT would just do it, too. Greetings -- Robert Sander www.gurubert.de

You said you do not have any benchmark results from it but do you think is will be faster to do ^([^\.]+\.)?domain$ or list 3000 sub.domain. Both at this point are an option. Look at the implementation. I am using the regex functions from libc, compiling the patterns when starting qmail-send and then only matching aginst them. It should be reasonably fast, but as stated I have no numbers because I have not a big mailserver. Greetings -- Robert Sander www.gurubert.de

There's no wildcard mechanism for control/locals. You'll need to list all of the domains. You could give my patch a try, which adds regular expressions to control/locals. But I have no numbers on performance issues. Look at http://beteigeuze.cs.tu-berlin.de/linux/qmail/ Greetings -- Robert Sander

What problem does this solve that a virtualdomain does not? Yes,
control/locals allows only literal entries, but control/virtualdomains
allows wildcards of the form ".foo.bar:piffle" to match "biff.foo.bar".
It also allows "baz.foo.bar:" to *not* be caught by the preceding entry.
Yes, that is possible, but then I have to setup a user piffle, and his
.qmail file has to filter the mailadresses and deliver the mail to the
correct local user. I think this is too much work and a kind of
inconsistency.
If aI have only [EMAIL PROTECTED], then I would do it this way
with an entry in virtualdomains like his.virtual.domin:someuser or alike.
But I have (virtually ;-) a big network of hosts, and everyone has the
same users (over NIS). I think it is more easier with one line in locals
like ^(.*\.){0,1}mydomain.net$ than the construct mentioned above.

/var/qmail/control/locals and regex
Hi! I made a patch to qmail-1.02 to have regular expressions in .../control/locals. This avoids the need to put every host in the local domain into that file. I think it is stable, but Your mileage may vary. I haven't testet it under heavy load, it depends on how fast the regexec function is. Maybe it could be faster than the old hash-function when dealing with a large amount of hostnames, but I am not sure. Now case ignoring extended regular expression are allowed in locals. And if you prepend a regular expression with "!", it is negated. Order is now important, the first match counts. Doing it this way you can have a general regex for your domain and before that a special one excepting some hostnames. Please send any comments to me via personal mail. P.S.: my SYSTYPE is linux-2.2.12-:i386-:-:ppro-:- Greetings -- Robert Sander "Is it Friday yet?" @Home http://home.pages.de/~gurubert pgp available there qmail_regex.tar.gz
