You have to be a contributor type person (i.e. actually do something for 
the OS to get a @ freebsd.ogr email address).

Mail on FreeBSD

2004-02-23 Thread somatic
Hi,
I was wondering if there was a web based system to check mail on a freebsd
system.I wanted to setup a mail system for all users on the intranet.I have
successfully installed sendmail and can send and receive mail on the
system.(using pine).But how do i go about setting up a system for external
lan users without them telnetting into the system?.Would i need a pop3
server?

Thanks,
akshay.

Hi,
you have a number of options open to you, you can try a POP3
installation, you could get adventurous and go for IMAP. A Webmail setup
is also one way to deal with your situation. You could even get really
carried away and install all of the above.  A quick check in the ports
dir and qpopper is available as is solidpop3d and a number of others. I
guess the trick is for you to work out which one suits your situation
best.  FWIW webmail can be a bit cumbersome at times your users might
prefer POP3 or IMAP.

Good Luck

Hi,

You should take a look at IMP (http://www.horde.org/imp/) or
Squirrelmail, both of which are webmail solutions, and both can be found
in the ports tree.  They do however, require either a POP3 or IMAP
server, and a server with PHP and a few other minor dependencies.

Alternatively, you could try neomail, which can access local mailspool
files using just perl.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Marc

Try squirrel/usr/ports/mail/squirrelmail

There are others too, but squirrel works well.

Hello to all,

I'm using FreeBSD 5.1-p8 and I'm trying to install diablo-jre plugin in
mozilla and firebird.

I deinstall all packages that I have with `pkg_delete -a` and install
everything again from ports with portupgrade.

When I run mozilla or firebird I get the error:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/diablo-jre1.3.1/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
[Shared object libintl.so.4 not found]

If I reinstall everything the same error happens.

Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

I used to have the same problem with graphics/gview, but is was solved
when I reinstall everything.

Thanks very much,

Nuno Teixeira

This is the key... you are apparently getting a soft reject because your
IP address, or the IP address of your ISP, which is 194.65.79.222 does not
resolve to anything... there is no reverse delegation, or any delegation.
Many mail servers will reject incoming IP addresses that do not resolve to
anything as a line of defense against spam.  I do.

I was attempting to send a different question to this list, when I ran 
smack dab into a more pressing problem. When I sent the mail, it never

The IP address of your server resolves fine now.  It was probably just
a temporary DNS outage.

 What exactly does this mean, and how can I fix it? I don't want my
 mail server to be crippled in this manner.

The FreeBSD.org mail server, in an effort to stop some spammers,
requires that hosts mailing through it have both a forward and reverse
DNS lookup that works (host - ip address and address - host).

When your message was received, it failed to resolve your IP address
[65.61.155.146] properly, and rejected the post.

Now it should work fine.  hub.freebsd.org below is the primary MX for
the FreeBSD.org domain:

: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10]/home/keramida$ hostname

Sort of.  Standard input can be seekable.  When you redirect it using
something like:

% blah  filename

The blah program can seek its stdin.  Pipes on the other hand are not
seekable.

RE: Squirrel Mail on freebsd

2002-12-30 Thread Danny Horne
 hello,
 Anyone know of any bugs when running (or trying to run) squirrelmail off a freebsd
 box? Coz I have been trying to do this for a while now with appaling results
 timeouts, php related errors like maximum execution time exceeded, very slow 
response,
 and it seems that it cannot handle loads like lots of mail in the mailbox etc.

 If someone has used squirrelmail successfully on freebsd, I'd please like to know 
what
 configuration you are using, eg what imap server, what mail formats etc, Thanx in
 advance.

I've been using Squirrelmail 1.2.9 on my system for about a week now.  It was built 
from
ports  apart from a few teething troubles, parltly caused by my lack of knowledge I'm
having a great time with it.  My system comprises -

Sendmail 8.12.6 (built from source)
IMAP-UW 2002a (built from source)
Apache13-modssl 1.3.27 (built from ports)
PHP 4.2.3 (built from ports)

Don't know too much about mail formats, I just created a 'mail' dir in my home 
directory
 altered IMAP-UW to use that before compiling (instructions on IMAP-UW site I think).

For the slow response with many mails, you might try -
cd /usr/local/squirrelmail
./configure
Select option 4 'General Options'
Set options 11  12 to 'true'

Hope this helps a bit

And there are errors where you need to escalate the 4xx response to 554 to 
stop the sending MTA from re-trying for days, or just harvest the 4xx ip's 
to a new .map filean block with 554.

Postfix's new sender address verification is extremely effective in 
blocking crap that used to get through, but it always returns 4xx so your 
reject counts go through the roof as SAV 4xx rejects are re-tried 100's of

Your mail server is identifying itself as [66.45.116.138] instead of a
host with (valid) forward DNS records (hosts that do this are blocked
as a -- very effective -- anti-spam measure).  Fix your mail server to
identify itself as gatehouse.quadtelecom.com and you should get past

Easier said than done.  I've been assigned 66.45.116.136/29 by the ISP.


.136 is not a power of 2 which is required for classless reverse 
delegation. It should be .132/29 or .140/29

I control DNS for quadtelecom.com, but I don't control the reverse 
lookup.  I'd like to know the exact algorithm in use, so that I can 
negotiate with my ISP.

For sub-Class C delegation, see the DNS  BIND book, 4th edition.

1. Your ISP creates a arbitrarily named node in the reverse domain and 
delegates the zone to you:

tabak.116.45.66.in-addr.arpa. NS ns1.quadtelecom.com.
tabak.116.45.66.in-addr.arpa. NS ns2.quadtelecom.com.

2. then for each ip in your tabak subzone he create a CNAME in his NS:

133.116.45.66.in-addr.arpa. CNAME 133.tabak.116.45.66.in-addr.arpa.
.
.
.
139.116.45.66.in-addr.arpa. CNAME 139.tabak.116.45.66.in-addr.arpa.

3. then in your NS:

133.tabak.116.45.66.in-addr.arpa. PTR name.what.ever.
.
.
.
139.tabak.116.45.66.in-addr.arpa. PTR hostname.some.dom.

The rule is that the parent domain's CNAME rdata field must, of course, be 
matched the child domain's PTR owner field.

For example, how are are hosts with multiple IP adresses handled?


put only one PTR per ip.

They don't need to be powers of 2.

 It should be .132/29 or .140/29

No, they're not powers of 2 either.  The requirement for a /29 is that
the last 3 bits of the binary representation be 0.  Valid values in
this area are 128, 136 and 144.

 I control DNS for quadtelecom.com, but I don't control the reverse

I think the real problem here is that Harry's ISP is too clueless to
handle reverse delegation.  Another possibility is that they
deliberately don't allocate a reverse address in order to stop him
from sending mail directly; if they relay via their mail server (which
appears to be mail.steelcityhosting.com, 66.45.117.3).

For more information, take a look at the following, which is a message
I send to systems which appear to be bona fide attempts from broken

one is not bona fide, and I didn't really send the message.  Most of

No, this means that your DNS is flaky.  As somebody observed, this is
a transient error.  Your MTA retries about every 30 minutes for about
5 days, and sooner or later the reverse lookup succeeds, and your mail
is delivered.

 Does anybody know when this was implemented?

It's been around for some years.

I just change my sendmail config (the .mc file) to send a resolvable 
domain name in the EHLO/HELO part of the SMTP conversation. I use an 
unresolvable domain name inside of my home network, and my mail server 
is internal, so of course servers like FreeBSD's would reject my

If you're using sendmail, check out confDOMAIN_NAME.

 I'm confused. I have an IP that has a lot of forward names,
 but the PTR points at the ISPs name. I don't have any trouble
 with sendmail sending and receiving internet email. even tho the
 PTR returns one of many name for the IP?

freebsd.org does not care if your reverse DNS mapping points back to
the name you identified yourself with, it only checks that the name
the server IDs itself as when submitting email resolves to the correct
IP address.

Many people (including me) have a working setup where reverse DNS
mappings do not give back the original hostname we ID with.

 I've been installing and running FreeBSD since release 2.0.5 with
 very few problems.

 But now with 4.7 I find there is some fundamental difference in the
 mail structure. I find local mail ends up in /var/spool/clientmqueue
 instead of the traditional /var/spool/mqueue which is fine except
 that it stays there without ever getting distributed to targetted
 recipients.

Anything interesting in your log files?  Look in /var/log/maillog for
lines related to the messages stuck in your queue.  You can initially
use the mailq command to find out the ids of the messages stuck in
your clientqueue:

# mailq -Ac | grep '^[[:alpha:]]' | awk '{print $1}'
gBE8KwpN025747
gBE87uh6025588
gBE85WZl025575

Then, us those ids as grep expressions to match only the related lines
from /var/log/maillog:

# grep gBE8KwpN025747 /var/log/maillog

You'll certainly find more hints in your log files that we can guess.
If you do find out something but you don't quite understand what went
wrong from the logfile text, then please mail the list with the output
of that last grep command on /var/log/maillog.
