[qmailtoaster] djbdns...
Is it just me or has anyone else just gotten the current djbdns-1.0.5 as an html script off of the server? Used 'current-download-script.sh' to get current files, retried, just on djbdns with same results both individually and w/the script. The SRC rpm is only 74 bytes long and contains html code. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [qmailtoaster] Users can't send mails due to RBL / PBL / CBL
One thing that could be overlooked... Making the following assumptions: 1) You configuration is using blocklists (blacklists), i.e. you have in /var/qmail/control/blacklists, an entry, e.g. '-r cbl.abuseat.org -r ... -r ...' On the blacklist entries, these '-r xxx' is used by rblsmtpd to check blacklists. 'rblsmtpd' also has an option to 'exclude' an address from being checked if you add to your blacklist a '-a myhosed.domain.com' or '-a 111.222.333.444', those addresses will be passed through unchecked. The submission port is the best way to go, but it has not always been there. Tim Korves wrote: Hi list, we're facing a problem.

Re: [qmailtoaster] reverse dns
Jean-Paul van de Plasse wrote: really, also quote the rest next time :) While most rDNS entries only have one PTR record, it is perfectly legal to have many different PTR records[1]. For example, if a webserver supports many virtual hosts, there can be one PTR record for each host and some versions of name server software will automatically add a PTR record for each host. Multiple PTR records can cause a couple of problems, including triggering bugs in programs that only expect there to ever be a single PTR record and, in the case of a large webserver, having hundreds of PTR records can cause the DNS packets to be much larger than normal. Perfectly legal, and can cause a couple of problems .. (jk) Anyways, You are mixing up 2 things.. Yes and no. Yes in the sense that a provider should be able to do classless (this is so I won't have to call them everytime I want to change my dns, not that this will be donw that often, just don't want to mess with the bureacracy and want to maintain dns in my own maintenance window, not theirs). This is my maintenance issue. The rfc2317 is part of the overall solution, i.e. put inplace those compliances that let my mail server react with other mail servers, so I can minimize my mail problems (i.e. be proactive in playing in the overall sandbox), for any mail customers I have. The truth of the matter is, you are right, most do not do this, but with MS's self image of being the sole motivator of innovation, one can probably expect anomalies such as this appear off and on, so whether or not I agree with that is beside the point, if I want to play in that sandbox (personally I don't care, but my customers do), I have to have in place the pieces that accomodate this interaction. Unless I wait until it happens again and have 8 godzillian complaints because they cannot send to hotmail, complaints are bad, especially if you can prevent them. In order to implement the rfc2317 part, one has to be able to control their own dns, especially the reverse delegation. One can easily control their forward delegation, it's the reverse that is the trick, unless you yourself control say an entire class C. If you do not it is (for what I want to do) imperative the provider accomodates classless delegation, some you can control your own dns segment. The main solution everyone describes works fine for me also, it is working right now. But server farms and large volume mail servers attract crap mail, users that want to send all kinds of mass mail (I am also aware that qmail can control this also, have utilized it), which causes receivers of this unwanted crap mail to tag it as spam in the receiving ends spam methodology. This is a whole other subject. I am a lazy administrator/programmer, if I know a user can (and will) produce a particular anomaly before they do it, I want to be pro-active to circumvent that problem prior to it happening, I would rather do work up front and be prepared, than wait until I encounter the problem again, i.e. if you know you have a high probablility of having a fire, it is better you have the extinguishers on hand before you open your doors In summary, my original inquiry was about classless delegation, and if anyone using qmail in a similar colocation situation uses it, in my neck of the woods, even though they say they can do it, the reality is they tell you can just to make the sale, and then try to re-negoitate it after the fact. I have to have this in order to do the other, unless I put in requests and run the gaunlet every time I want a dns update (I do not need my provider to manage my segment). I am looking into how common classless delegation is and if it is reasonable to ask a provider to do it. It appears in this neck of the woods, they know very little about it (in most cases, they want you to believe otherwise). I think probably I should take this to another forum, I am an avid qmail admin/user, and maybe combining these two issues here is occupying unnecessary bandwidth, because the same thing could effect other mail servers, not just qmail. I ask here, to see if anyone was running under similar circumstances. And if they have encountered the same problems obtaining classless delegation. I will still run qmail. * The issue in regards to this, is that several web server farms already let one manage their own dns, seems like I should be able to do it on a mail server (the implementation should be the same). Classless reverse (rfc 2317) has nothing todo with multimple ptr records.. And well if multiple ptr records help, I am intressted, but as far as my knowledge goes, the only test is if there is a ptr record at all.. JP - Original Message - From: Mark Samples [EMAIL PROTECTED
[qmailtoaster] reverse dns
Hi all - Long time no speak... I have a server, I have had to move (re-colocate), it is my own, in specific, the reason I ask is for my own dns purposes, I seem to believe even though I may have only a /29 at my current location, I still want to run my own dns so I can update it as needed and on my own time frame (I want to skip the need to contact someone else to do something I can do). In regards to the dns, it is my belief, based on what I have encountered running commercial mail servers and dealing with the customer end and spam and all, that the reverse is important to reach certain domains, i.e. multiple PTR records for the same IP. I got this talking directly to MicroSlug hotmail boys. Now, I know, to get mail working, this is not a total requirement, my issue with it, its basically, I want to develop an overall mail system that can be tweeked to require minimal physical interaction (in particular, automatic inclusion of the main philosophies and requirements). I colocated to a colocation provider that said I would be able to run my own dns and I actually asked about the reverse delegation, so I could manage my own without having to get their intervention everytime (I have done dns and I know this methodology), so, my question, is there other more widely accepted methodologies for doing this that has worked for others? If so I am interested in hearing about your solutions, as I may have overlooked something in this regard. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [qmailtoaster] reverse dns
The problem is not the mail server, but, the anti spam measures other mail providers take as anti spamming measures. I.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], domainb as an anti spam measure, checks reverse dns PTR if the domaina is not in the reverse lookup, say it is actually server joe.blow.com not mail.domaina, the antispam measure turns down the message (on the receiving end). This is where I actually talked to MicroSlug, and they were saying that if one did virtual hosting (i.e through naming) they said that each on had to have a reverse PTR for each domain. Which after doing some investigation, I came upon a few sites that actually had multiple PTR (reverse records) that pointed to the same IP, which if you read the URL I posted, it actually addresses the Multiple revers PTRS, there is an RFC pertaining to it. There is currently no problem with mine at this time, but, I want to have counter measures in place prior to any such encounter (it did happen with one of my companies mail servers, and that is what I found out). In the biggest part of the DNS world I would say most do not encounter this and thus deny it's existence, but it does exist, and I have encountered, and if I had a correct answer, I would agree with everyone else. And say what is the problem Best explaination I can give you. The main issue is to circumvent this problem so it does not effect your customers. Is it right? Is it proper? That's debatable. The fact is when a mainstream mail provider does it, and you have customers that send to that provider, because there are millions of accounts there, it makes more sense (at least in the short term) to comply with (in this case MicroSlug hotmail) than to have to explain to 200 or 300 customers why mail your mail is being turned down at hotmail.Hope this helps put things in perspective, it is not a 'toaster' issue, maybe it does nopt belong here, back to the original question about classless reverse delegation.

Out of all three, both powerdns and djbdns separate the cache from the authoratative portion, for instance, on powerdns, it's recursor lacks something to be desired, it has not matured - yet. So in that case, you end up running dnscache or bind as the backend caching nameserver. From an ISP standpoint after having done pretty much all three, bind and it's operation and the way it is supposed to behave, is the best and least problematic (maintenance is not as easy as with the other two). Given the vast amount of help one may get on a small ISP and needing someone with enough experience to deal with BIND if you are going on vacation, anything much more complex than shutting down and restarting the server, is a pipe dream. Most people I ever got didn't have a clue about *nix, didn't wanna know, and were just Windows geeks. The new BIND mentions using different backends on the authoritative side, so maybe someone will come up with a plugin that will work. I like Microsoft DNS Server better than djbdns. . .

Re: [qmailtoaster] how to do this?
See topic 'tcpserver' maybe I should have been more descriptive, it is an effort to try and address this. My idea is if one is going to do an rblcheck anyway why not address this at the /var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run level with tcpserver. What I am thinking is the rblcheck comes after the initial tcpserver connection anyway, so if one had a set of other qualifying rules (probably specific to their mail system), why not do some of the 'culling' at that level, before it even reaches spamassassin. Let's face it, whereas one does not want to become too conservative in this manner, I firmly believe by establishing certain criteria up front, will (eventually) force ISP compliance to certain rules. Having worked with ISP's and being gouged to comply with reverse PTR's by major players, this is not a half bad idea, reverse DNS is important, simply because analyzing most of the spam I receive that makes it past spamassassin, in a large part come from dialup's (what I am seeing is around 40%). So here is the theory, cull out mail at the lowest possible level, so if doing a lookup at the tcpserver level against a *.cdb in the run script, stops it there, there is no need to go further. Simone Marzona wrote: Hi all Is there a way to mark a mail as spam in a similar way of the one done by spamassassin, but using only rbl lookup? I'm searching something like qmail-rblchk of (www.morettoni.net) wich could be installed system wide ( qmailqueue ?) and doesn't use .qmail . The idea is this: if a mail comes from a listed ip then deliver it to a specific maildir (or put a specific header inside and deliver normally). If it's not listed deliver normali through qmailqueue/spamassassin. Whitout rbl lookups the spam is too high, with rbl there are too many false positives. thanks in advance - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [qmailtoaster] smtp gateway
That would be. yes! 1) Make an MX record for whatever server(s) you want to do this with that point to your qmail-toaster 2) for the domain you want to do this for, assign that new MX record as it's mail exchanger. 3) Add an entry into smtproutes for that domain, format: domain:relay:port I use the MX records for a domain as a tag, more than anything, a naming convention, you do not have to use them specifically, just make sure whichever host is utilizing this, has MX records that point to your gateway. You will have to have some method to sort the messages into folders, i.e. when they come through tagged as spam, either the client (Outlook) or some other method, like maildrop to put things in their proper places.

Re: [qmailtoaster] MYSQL help
Craig Smith wrote: Hi there, I'm currently working on a setup and scripts that will give our company a failover server that we can immediately switch to in the event of failure without clients ever knowing it was off. I am planning of putting this in the wiki if people are interested. As part of my solution I am using a mysqldump and import, but I've heard that mysql can replicate the database live. I have used this and mysqldump is better for the following reasons (BTW I have used SQL extensively and have set up this exact same scenario, to include Sybase and Unify): 1) Unless you have SERIOUS Support for the DB back end in terms of a robust database setup, in the case of MySQL, InnoDB tables, RAID, etc. The replication is not worth the headache. 2) In my experience, the way MySQL is typically used on the internet, it is a quick and dirty database, works well, is relatively easy to set up... BUT... 3) When dealing with databases, replication (IMHO) lends itself to relatively HIGH END equipment, large databases, as well as huge amounts of sensitive data (not that your email accounts aren't sensitive). So unless your benefactor (whether it be yourself or other) is willing to invest in a minimum of 2 identical servers just for databases and replication, MySQL is fast enough and there is probably not that many rows of data to be worth replication. Typically to do this (in a way I consider philosophically worth while), replication is not needed, and it is much more prudent to dump and restore. 4) In a nutshell, unless you have millions of rows of sensitive data, the complexity tradeoff is not worth it. How do I go about configuring mysql to specifically replicate the vpopmail database to my backup server so that the backup server always has an up to date copy of the mysql database? I can manage without that, but I think it would be more efficient method. Either way though, with the procedure I'm finalising, should our server A go down server B will take over it's role with minimal amount of input. Or with the right script automatically. Server B will be up to date in terms of A up to the last minute before failure. This includes uncollected mail etc. Accounts only have to be created on the main server, the changes will replicate to the backup server every minute. (or x time frame as scheduled) So I guess this post is two fold, are people interested in a method for the above, or are there already loads of solutions out there, and how does one configure mysql for replication. Bearing in mind my SQL knowledge is nil. I've only just started getting to grips with scripting so that's a later project. :-) Thanks in advance.

[qmailtoaster] Re: your mail
Of course if one gets a lot, it could be a problem, one solution I use is putting this type (once the domain is confirmed and some whois data as well as who owns he IP address space) in the badmailfrom of qmail. Stearns Blacklist (if it wasn't so huge) stops a bunch of this at connection time. Internal RBL's can be helpful also, basically stop these, although, this either requires programming to automate, or human intervention to maintain. This type, for me I just stop at the session level. I have found (lately) most come from a particular geographic region, this may only be a trend, but, that may be trackable. John D.
