I use ASSP withlut ClamAV, then the email is scanned by ClamSMTP WITH
ClamAV.  ASSP's implementation is less complete than ClamSMTP which does
a deep scan.  Then XMail gets the email for delivery.  This has worked
great up until XMail 1.24, but now I seem to be having time out problems
with XMail. My guess is that 1.24 is slower with the SSL addition (even
not using SSL) than 1.23 and that is cuaing it to hang.

Using ClamAV with ClamSMTP I have only had one virus in over three years
get through, and that due to a failed update the night before.

I actually use both, but not in XMail.  I use ClamAV with ASSP and then
hand it off to XMail which scans w/F-Prot.  Since ASSP does all the
delaying, rejecting, ... it keeps the spool directory really clean.

Just my opinion.

I installed both fprot and clamav on NetBSD with intention of using
whichever I managed to get working first which turned out to be fprot.
I've no reason to suspect clamav is any less useful than fprot and it
might even be more configurable.=20

I suspect glst prevents the server seeing many viruses and so far fprot
hasn't let any through to my users (me).

Sorry, I must explain further, the .local domains do not reside on the
XMail server.  They are different boxes on different subnets throughout
a private wan.  XMail receives the mail to the local users w/respective
..com & .net domains and then they are redirected to the appropriate
server with a .local domain and the internal dns server handles the
..local dns.

All the other servers will use the XMail server as the smarthost.  XMail
will handle all scanning, filtering, and archiving for all servers.

Create dummy accounts in your xmail server (on a dummy domain like

I have many clients that are on dynamic IP addresses (DSL) in their

T1.  Also, their ISP (Verizon) does not let you relay through their

-12C (11F) is f'ing cold according to my friend in northern Germany.  I

Subject: [xmail] 1.23-pre15 ...



This really has to be the last one. Ana Paula, can you try to see if
this 
one fixes your filters problem?

http://www.xmailserver.org/xmail-1.23-pre15.tar.gz
http://www.xmailserver.org/xmail-1.23-pre15.win32bin.zip




ChangeLog:

- Changed the filter log to include the full exec string (separated by 
  semicolon).

- Fix CTRL "poplnkadd" and "poplnkdel" to accept local domains strings 
  starting with special characters.

- Added (finally!) a command line makefile (Makefile.win) to build the 
  whole XMail package without the usage of the MS VC++ IDE.

- Reject a CTRL "domainadd" command if an alias domain already exists
with 
  the same name.

- Changed the CTRL "usergetmproc" command to allow the caller to specify

  if it is the user or the domain one that is wanted. Or a merges of
both, 
  if "DU" is specified in the optional 3th parameter.

- Changed the CTRL "usersetmproc" command to allow the caller to specify

  if it is the user ('U') or the domain ('D') one that is wanted to be 
  set.

- Added complex/multiple macro substitution capabilities to external 
  programs argoument lists.

- Added strictier SMTP address validation.

- Check the mailbox size for every message coming into the mailbox
(before 
  it was only done during the SMTP phase).

- Do not try to send to the 'A' record if the recipient domain does not 
  exist at all (NXDOMAIN). Bounce immediately instead, avoiding lengthy 
  retry policies.

- Added the "wlex" flag to filter lines (works for the SMTP ones only),
to 
  exclude execution of the filter line in case the client IP is 
  white-listed inside the ipprop file.

- Added the post-RCPT SMTP filter, that is called before XMail acks the 
  client recipient. A new "RCPT=EFILTER" long entry is emitted in case a

  recipient is rejected by a filter.
 
- Added @@CRCPT (current recipient) and @@FROM (sender email address) 
  macros to SMTP filter substitution.

- Allow cmdaliases to work on aliased domains. Before a cmdalias defined

  on an alias-target domain was not working before the cmdalias check
was 
  done before the alias domain resolution.

- Added the ability to bypass the SMTP.IPMAP.TAB inclusion using SMTP 
  authentication.

- Added a new SERVER.TAB variable "SMTP-IpMapDropCode" to control the
drop 
  code to be used for IPs listed inside the SMTP.IPMAP.TAB. Like other 
  codes inside XMail, 1 means drop now, 0 means allow if auth, and -N 
  means add N seconds delay. An immediate drop will emit a
"SNDRIP=EIPBAN" 
  log entry.

- Added a new SERVER.TAB variable "SmtpMsgIPBan" to control the SMTP 
  message returned in case of SMTP.IPMAP.TAB inclusion.

- Added log message when the maximum number of SMTP/POP3/CTRL threads is

  hit.

- Fixed documentation about the spool info line and the SMTP filters
info 
  line.

- Fixed a build problem on OpenBSD related to the lack of c_r (reentrant
C 
  library) library.

- Fixed greetings message to be RFC2821 compliant (server host must be 
  first).

- Fixed a NAME_MAX build error ond *BSD and Solaris.
 
- Added a "Pop3ScanCur" USER.TAB variable to control the scan of the 
  Maildir's "cur" directory during POP3 message list build. Now XMail
only 
  scans the "new" directory as default.


Test reports are, as usual, welcome ...

If I can't read the output, what's the point?!?! ;-)

The only time it really gets wild is when a maillist goes out and it
whips by pretty good, but I'm able to see any -82, -40 messages, which
alerts me to either look back on the command window or open XQM.

Would a good rule of thumb be to keep it in debug mode until I'm
unsatisfied with the performance?  

Then I can decide if I want to change the XMail mode or buy faster
hardware. ;-)

Well, bind has the ability (through a bind library API) to live-update
the 
server by issuing commands.
The easiest way is probably to have a script that periodically generates
a 
new zone file, feeds it to bind and restart it.

I must be having a brain fart because I am not following the purpose
behind using DNS for this.  Spam-address.tab is loaded with email
addresses in the format [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How does DNS tie into this list?  RBL's look for IP addresses, correct?

It is Monday and I've only had one cup of coffee...

So how would you go about dumping a file to a local DNS?  Is there a
link to point me in the right direction?

Indeed. Just dump your monster file into a local DNS, and add its entry
to 
the CustMapsList.

[xmail] spam-address.tab size

[Norbert Doeberlein]

This is from the XMail Forum:

 

***

Thanks for the script but this file appears to be quite large (18MB), I
am wondering if this would cause Xmail to crash or be slow if
implemented?
After a few minutes running on my main server, about 500 accounts, Xmail
stopped responding to pop3 requests, I had to put a blank
spam-address.tab to make it work back. 
Can anyone confirm that using a big file as spam-address.tab is a good
thing? Thanks 

***

 

I've written a batch file for windows that automatically downloads the
Stearns blacklist and convert it to spam-address.tab.   I have it set on
my machine to do this daily.  What is the impact of a large
spam-address.tab file?

[xmail] 1.23

[Norbert Doeberlein]

Davide,

 

Would you possibly have a pre-release changelog for 1.23?

 

I'm anxious to see what's new because there shouldn't be much to be
fixed, right?

 

Thanks!

Download XQM (XMail Queue Manager) from www.marketmix.com to examine the
spool directories.

There is also this that may be causing your problems...

*
This is a small&simple post-data filter to fix the "Zero byte inside the

message" and the "No newline at the end of message" problems. Even
though 
messages that comes into post-data filters, always have the ending
newline 
(unless previous filters screw up, of course). Here is the C source
code, 
and the Win32 pre-built EXE:

Sorry, forgot the usage 

"PATH_TO/xbmf" "@@FILE"

Thanks.

This stuff can be analyzed only in presence of detailed data. Without 
that, nothing can be done.

In server.tab
"SMTP-RDNSCheck""-2"

That's as much as I dare give it as otherwise I tend to lose wanted 
emails when senders DNS is bad and their mta is too impatient.

I also put longer timeouts, or even "code=0", on a per ip block basis 
in spammers.tab for ip blocks I'm not expecting to be sending me 
email.
"61.58.0.0" "255.255.0.0"   "code=-5"

[xmail] SMTP-RDNSCheck

[Norbert Doeberlein]

Davide,

 

What is the syntax in reference to the -S you refer to in the docs?

 

Thanks!

 

[SMTP-RDNSCheck]

Indicate if XMail must do an RDNS lookup before accepting a incoming
SMTP connection. If 0, the check is not performed; if 1 and the check
fails, the user receives a 'server use forbidden' at MAIL_FROM time; if
-S (S > 0) and the check fails, a delay of S seconds between SMTP
commands is used to prevent massive spamming.

Hello,
At the risk of repeating a post the following:

I was wondering how to set an auto respond message in xmail. 
I'm using xmail on a windows2000 server with no perl on it. If no other
solution is possible I will consider instelling perl.

Also I would like to know if there is a list online with all topics
already
discussed in this mailinglist.

Thank you kindly,
Erwin
