Re: smtp - UDP, TCP, or IP?
On Thu, 9 May 2002, at 6:35pm, Hansen, Eric wrote: As part of our access statement we used tcp permit for 110 and 25. Well it turned out that by doing this mail came in but didn't go out. SMTP is TCP port 25. SMTP does not use UDP, not is it an IP-layer protocol. Make sure you have all the rules, and in all directions. Maybe you are accidentally blocking outbound TCP SYN packets on port 25? Also, if your default policy is to drop without reply, make sure you at least send a TCP RST for connect attempts to TCP port 113, which is the auth protocol (also called ident). Many SMTP mail exchangers will do an auth query, and if you just drop those packets on the floor, they may time out or reject you. If all else fails, use a packet sniffer to see what is going over the wire. -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.

Re: Dumb Question about Relaying
On Mon, 19 Nov 2001, Murphy, Brian wrote: I have heard everyone talk about not relaying mail or not allowing the relaying of mail. But what exactly does that mean? An SMTP system that performs relaying will accept mail for domains other than those handled by the local system, and pass it on (relay it) to the final destination. For example, if you permitted relaying, your system would accept mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and then contact Microsoft's mail exchangers and attempt to deliver it to Mr. Gates. For example, I have my system setup to NOT relay mail as per the FAQ. However, it states to enable routing (Reroute incoming SMTP) and then enable routing restrictions. Basically, this means the system will accept SMTP mail, but only for those domains to which you have created routing entries. Let's assume I don't need POP3 or IMAP4. POP3 and IMAP4 are used only to retrieve mail from a mail server; they actually have nothing to do with SMTP (which is used to exchange (lower-case 'E') mail between servers). -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.

Granted that may be the more secure way of doing things, but then people may not want to develop for that platform. Microsoft made a lot of money off Windows and Office being extremely easy to develop for and use. With that there is security risks. I think you make a good point. What may have been a good approach in the short term (very easy to work with, but insecure) is not so good in the long term (it is still insecure, leading to many upset customers). I wonder, what happens next? Microsoft has said they will be moving to make things more secure. Assuming they follow through, does that mean people will move away to easier-but-less-secure platforms, restarting a cycle? Or will it mean security becomes a fundamental for Windows/Office programming (which, I would argue, it should be)? Would people still like Exchange so much, if it was more secure but less convenient? I know *I* certainly would, but I'm not an Exchange programmer. I wonder, how hard would it be to design a model that is secure by default, but easily opens up access to software with the proper authorizations? I suspect that would require moving most of the scripting intelligence into the server, where it can be protected better. Anyone here who knows more about Exchange programming than I (i.e., just about anyone) have any comments on that? -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.

Very small servers (was: A good space for the Exchange ...)

Yeah, you lose anything that wasn't committed, of course, but can't you recover something? Yes, there is. In my world of support, though, lost data == unacceptable. Everything is relative. The company I work for supports very small businesses (no more than 50 people, usually less than 20) and SOHO enviornments. One of our most common new customer scenarios is when the office has finally grown to the point where they need to buy their first dedicated network server. In that sort of situation, you cannot justify stand-by servers for restores and recovery. Hell, we usually have to argue just to get them to buy a tape drive. Now, consider this configuration: NT 4.0, Exchange 5.5, with patches kept current. Single server for everything -- file, print, mail, backups, etc. Either a single non-redundent disk, or two disks as a single mirrored volume. All files, databases, database logs, etc., on the same disk. Circular logging turned on. It gets backed up every night to tape -- often a full backup every night. Multiple tapes are used in rotation (father/son, etc.). The customer is fully aware that hardware failure will likely result in permenently losing the changes made since last night's backup. It is considered an acceptable risk. My belief has been that this scenario should work. While performance is far from the theoretial ideal, there is nothing that would cause data corruption or system failure. If a catestrophic failure occurs (e.g., dead disk), once the failure is corrected, we should be able to recover to the point of the previous night's backup. Is my belief correct, or are there additional factors that I am not aware of? -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.

What is more, the concept of an off-site copy is easy to understand -- even the most non-technical of managers understand the concept of fire. :-) For a small company where one tape == one backup, it is easy to implement, too. Our customers that actually have plans to continue operations in the event of a major disaster are doing this. The mom-and-pop shops which do not really plan on continuing operations if the place burns down naturally don't bother. :-) Oh, the trunk of the president's car doesn't count as off-site. Another client tried to restore from tapes stored in a trunk in the middle of winter. It wasn't pretty. I once had a customer call because they left an off-site backup tape in their car by mistake, on the dashboard, in hot sun. It had melted. Fortunately, tapes are cheap. At least they didn't ask me if it was still good :-) The other thing to realize is that those little fire safes they sell at Wal-Mart are not very helpful. They are designed to protect paper, not tapes. Paper can get quite hot before it combusts. Tapes can degrade at significantly lower temperatures. -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.

On Fri, 31 Aug 2001, Waters, Jeff wrote: Why use Circular Logging?? Does it make a difference? Our thinking is basically: Given the lack of separate disks, and given a full backup every night, turning circular logging off would not gain us anything. Given the principle of not making changes without sufficient reason (i.e., if it ain't broke, don't fit it), we just never bothered turning it off. Do you think we should? At your point it really becomes a point of how important is this information to the business. When I started here, we were a small org of about 300-500 users ... To us, that is a large organization. We are in the below-50-users range, here. If you are not used to working in these environments, you have no idea what it is like. These sorts of businesses simply do not have an IT staff. They do not have a separate IT budget -- a computer is a special purchase from general funds. They ask questions like, Do we really need a tape backup drive?, or Do we really need a UPS for the server?, or Do we really need a firewall for the Internet?. We sometimes have to argue to convince people they should use a server at all. You would be amazed at how many SOHOs consider a shared folder on a Windows 98 desktop PC to be a server. They also have nowhere near the availability needs of a large organization. They can generally do their work without the computers. They have paper redundancy for everything, because they are not sophisticated enough to do without it. Even for our larger customers (i.e., 40 or 50 users), a RAID array and redundant power supplies is about as fault tolerant as they get. For a serious disaster (e.g., building burns down), the recovery plan is usually something like chapter seven bankruptcy liquidation. They simply do not consider a disaster of that magnitude to be something they could survive. What a lot of people don't take into consideration when they are putting everything on the same server is the amount of time it takes to get the server backup, not only do you have to do a exchange disaster recovery, now you have to install all the apps, restore all the other share data, recreate all the network printers, etc A complete backup, including registry, online Exchange, etc., should cover all that, no? At some point the cost of the SCSI controller and a couple of hard drives starts to have a cost benefit. Indeed, and we argue that all the time. We usually can at least convince people that mirrored drives is a good idea. Our largest customers (again, still less than 50 users) go all out and have hot-swap drives and hardware RAID controllers. The bottom line is that no matter what the size of your organization the server (no matter what it is doing) has to be built to meet the business needs it supports ... I do realize that. However, the business needs -- and available funds -- are very small for our customer base. With all this talk of separate drives, I was just starting to get worried that our configurations are likely to cause *unexpected* data loss. Again, everyone is aware of the risk to data between backups. What I am worried about is this configuration causing data loss by itself. -- Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
