Re: Login.conf Limits not Applying for Postfix
Hey list, I have a pretty low resource usage for users on my system, thus I have some low limits set in my /etc/login.conf. Particularly openfiles, which is set to 128 for the default class. However, I started getting errors from Postfix saying it has hit this limit: postfix/proxymap[97907]: warning: could allocate space for only 128 open files So I added a new class in my /etc/login.conf: postfix:\ :openfiles=1024:\ :tc=default: Yes, I did run `cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf` (multiple times, in fact). I stopped and restarted the postfix daemon. I've even rebooted the system entirely since then, to no avail (It sends half the mail at a time - but the error appears again once mail starts building up). Am I missing something? Do I need to set the postfix user into the postfix login class somehow?

A little digging around has revealed that there are two 'mailq' executables on my system: /usr/local/bin/mailq and /usr/bin/mailq. The first is part of the mail/postfix-current port which I have installed and use, and the second is presumably part of Sendmail, which I have not installed and do not use.

Why are you wasting time posting this question on the FreeBSD list
when it properly belongs on the Postfix forum.
You can start here to subscribe to the list:
http://www.postfix.com/lists.html
Then be sure to read all of the documentation for how to report a
problem on this URL:
http://www.postfix.com/DEBUG_README.html
In particular, this section:
http://www.postfix.com/DEBUG_README.html#mail
If you had done this to begin with your problem would have been solved
by now.

The only thing I can think of is that mysite.com and mail.mysite.com (the mx record) do not point to the same server (which they did on my old machine). it's not that sample. grin I have also tried everything I can think of in how users are listed in postfix's virtual file and in /etc/aliases and server entries in main.cf. The problem is that the 'local' machine DOES NOT KNOW that it is supposed to accept mail for the domain specified in the email addressz. The server looks at the address, determines that it is *NOT* local, by whatever means 'postfix' uses to make that determination (it's the 'w' class in Sendmail), and goes off to query DNS for the MX for the 'remote' machine to send mail to. DNS returns this (the one asking for the 'remote' machine name) machine as the destination to deliver to. the local server =knows= that is incorrect, because it is not the delivery point for that domain. hence the error message, and 'return to sender' as undeliverable. This _is_ a configuration error in (probably) the local mailserver, or in the way the local hostname/domainname are set up.. The second issue is if (again, SSH'd in an using mail) I send email to a local user without the @mysite.com (mail todd) then the email isn't available via IMAP externally. I can read it using the command line mail, but not externally via IMAP. These two mailboxs are completely separate and have two different lists of waiting email. This is an 'inconsistency' in the way 'locally' generated mail is being handled, and the way externally generated mail is being handled. *PROBABLY* because -one- mail server program is being started at boot time, and a _different_ program is being invoked when somebody sends locally from the command-line. Chasing this down can be a b*tch. Everything and it's cousins has the executable name 'sendmail' hard-coded into it for sending outgoing mail. Sometimes the original 'sendmail' is replaced by a different executable 'of the same name', that is really 'postfix', 'exim', 'qmail', or the dreaded 'something else'. Sometimes 'sendmail' is a switching program that determings -- by some arbitrary means (typically a configurtion file, stored 'somewhere')-- _which_ of many alternatives to call. Now _if_ the mailer started at boot time is *explicitly* named as something _other_ than sendmail, and is -not- what you get when you invoke the name 'sendmail', you have obvious potential for dissimilar behavior. this is _probably_ what is going on in your case. Local command-line mail is being delivered to an 'mbox' type mailbox, while 'remote' mail is being delivered to 'something different' -- I think recent versios of IMAP use a database-type struture rather than a simple 'mbox'. Everything works fine if I send email from a remote client (Thunderbird, Mail.app) and read the email with a remote client via IMAP. It's just the local email sending that seems to be broken. I'd like to get one of these two problems fixed so root can email me daily log files, which it can't do right now or I can't read via IMAP because they are't going to the right mailbox.

The only thing I can think of is that mysite.com and mail.mysite.com (the mx record) do not point to the same server (which they did on my old machine). it's not that sample. grin I have also tried everything I can think of in how users are listed in postfix's virtual file and in /etc/aliases and server entries in main.cf. The problem is that the 'local' machine DOES NOT KNOW that it is supposed to accept mail for the domain specified in the email addressz. The server looks at the address, determines that it is *NOT* local, by whatever means 'postfix' uses to make that determination (it's the 'w' class in Sendmail), and goes off to query DNS for the MX for the 'remote' machine to send mail to. DNS returns this (the one asking for the 'remote' machine name) machine as the destination to deliver to. the local server =knows= that is incorrect, because it is not the delivery point for that domain. hence the error message, and 'return to sender' as undeliverable. This _is_ a configuration error in (probably) the local mailserver, or in the way the local hostname/domainname are set up.. The second issue is if (again, SSH'd in an using mail) I send email to a local user without the @mysite.com (mail todd) then the email isn't available via IMAP externally. I can read it using the command line mail, but not externally via IMAP. These two mailboxs are completely separate and have two different lists of waiting email. This is an 'inconsistency' in the way 'locally' generated mail is being handled, and the way externally generated mail is being handled. *PROBABLY* because -one- mail server program is being started at boot time, and a _different_ program is being invoked when somebody sends locally from the command-line. Chasing this down can be a b*tch. Everything and it's cousins has the executable name 'sendmail' hard-coded into it for sending outgoing mail. Sometimes the original 'sendmail' is replaced by a different executable 'of the same name', that is really 'postfix', 'exim', 'qmail', or the dreaded 'something else'. Sometimes 'sendmail' is a switching program that determings -- by some arbitrary means (typically a configurtion file, stored 'somewhere')-- _which_ of many alternatives to call. Now _if_ the mailer started at boot time is *explicitly* named as something _other_ than sendmail, and is -not- what you get when you invoke the name 'sendmail', you have obvious potential for dissimilar behavior. this is _probably_ what is going on in your case. Local command-line mail is being delivered to an 'mbox' type mailbox, while 'remote' mail is being delivered to 'something different' -- I think recent versios of IMAP use a database-type struture rather than a simple 'mbox'. Everything works fine if I send email from a remote client (Thunderbird, Mail.app) and read the email with a remote client via IMAP. It's just the local email sending that seems to be broken. I'd like to get one of these two problems fixed so root can email me daily log files, which it can't do right now or I can't read via IMAP because they are't going to the right mailbox. Is there some simple I'm just messing up? Yes. grin The difficulty comes in identifying _which_ simple thing it is that is messed up. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

postfix knowledgable folks
I need to bid out some work, Is there anybody who is good at postfix with freebsd 8.2. I am willing to pay an expert if he can assist me as I am having issue with my system. What is happening is mail is coming from machine A--à sent to a middle machine X which I think is acting as a delivery machine(as I see postfix as a processes) which iisn’t the recipient of the mail just Deliverer. It is also a jails machine. Anyway the logs on system A say the following when sending a mail to me through X.

Connection times out. The DNS isn’t an issue I tried the IP address as well. On system X I see postfix running. I restarted postfix several times on system X. I even restarted the entire system. I know nothing about postfix either. It is weird that I can email from X though. I tried postfix status from MAN and postfix flush but that didn’t reveal much. Its weird that the delivery on A says deferred connection timed out but on tcpdump I see the port 25 Traffic seemingly working on system X.

impossible? postfix filter partial virtual domain mailboxes
I have a postfix mta (beauty mate!) and I've managed to twist its panties into a real tight knot by using a filter (smtpd), and through using it to put my isp mail into a local box thanks to fetchmail. The problem I'm facing is that it now won't send mail to any other users on my isp's domain. I did manage to get it working _before_ I put the filter on, I used vtransport tables to tell it to deliver via smtp except _my_ address. Other than that it works fine, and the problem doesn't come up often- usually just about the time I need to complain to my isp (says a lot about their service, doesn't it?), maybe once a year? One thing that did raise my eyebrow when I put the filter in was the receive_override_options, which is set to no_address_mappings. Could this be the issue? What would make me happier is to deliver directly via maildrop, but that raises a lot of other issues... I'd have to figure out how to access the mail via courier, shared folders, etc. I'm not sure that would be worthwhile. Thoughts?

SSL/TLS suddenly stopped working for postfix
My apologies for the cross-posting but I believe it is relevant. I have been running postfix for 8+ months without problems. Recently ( a week or two) I had a user complain that he could no longer send. It appears that postfix is no longer accepting SSL/TLS connections.

Re: qmail or postfix?
I like qmail, but I would, having written a book about it. If you want something that works reasonably well out of the box, I'd use Postfix. If you want something you can tweak to do whatever you want, qmail is more of a toolkit. Don't use the version of qmail in ports, it includes way too many sloppily written patches. netqmail 1.06 is a reasonable place to start. http://qmail.org/netqmail/ I've replaced the qmail SMTP daemon with Bruce Guenter's mailfront, which is in the ports collection.

Without knowing your exact configuration and requirements, answering that question is at best a guess. In addition, as a long time subscriber to the theory, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, the only way to ascertain that answer would be to study the Postfix documentation and then decide if it offers better methods of doing whatever it is you are now doing with your present MTA and if changing MTAs would serve a useful purpose. Postfix-2.8 has an impressive feature, postscreen built into it. You can check the documentation for its use and implementation. I don't believe that Sendmail has any such native function. The Postfix forum could provide answers to any reasonable question that you might have regarding the two MTAs.

Re: qmail or postfix?
Calling qmail more secure is pretty much just echoing conjecture at this point. Sure, it was designed to be secure (years and years ago) and the original author even held a contest with a monetary reward for anyone who could find a vulnerability -- that said, AFAIK that person no longer maintains the project. It requires lots of third party patches to be as functional as postfix, so to what extent these patches counteract the original coder's (apparent) secure coding practices is open to debate. If you know of any specific problems with postfix that would substantiate your claim I encourage you to inform the project's maintainers. From personal experience I can say that I've run a postfix config for years without problems. Also, in most networks I don't think the MTA is a very prominent attack vector; people are probably much more likely to get in through that old wordpress installation you've been meaning to upgrade for 6 months (for instance).

I also found my dovecot broken: Jan 05 15:26:16 master: Error: service(auth): child 46112 returned error 1 Jan 05 15:26:16 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling Jan 05 15:26:51 pop3-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=46111, input bytes=0 Jan 05 15:27:16 auth: Error: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16: version libmysqlclient_16 required by /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/auth not defined I wonder if this is a Dovecot error or a problem with the MySQL upgrade. Did you try asking Timo regarding the Dovecot problem? In any case, it might be worth it to file a PR against both Dovecot and MySQL. Nothing will probably get done until one is filed. Such minor breakages (like Dovecot experienced) don't worry me much sometimes. I simply recompile and life continues. When I upgrade a port I always expect (as a matter of principle) that something might go wrong and I go looking for it. However, the breakage with RT is one that has left me so worried - that character set issue, since it manifests itself on the main system, and only with 5.5.8 and not 5.5.7! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Postfix and Gmail
Anybody hooked their Postfix servers up with Gmail to use it as a client? I'm tired of all this using mutt on several boxes, setting up virtual MySQL accounts and domains with crap webapps.

FWIW though, there are two problem areas wrt to running a mail server. There's running the mail server itself, and then there's trying to run a mail server with bad broken DNS.

postfix installed in base, mailwrapper spins using 100% CPU
Hi, I installed a new server recently with postfix. I first rebuilt world using WITH_SENDMAIL=no and removed the sendmail files using 'make delete-old'. I installed postfix in /usr but now mailwrapper doesn't work - it runs using 100% CPU and never quits. I suspect it might be stuck in a loop trying to run the sendmail binary and being redirected back to itself. So /etc/mail/mailer.conf contains: sendmail/usr/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/sbin/sendmail mailq /usr/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/sbin/sendmail is: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Oct 2 09:50 /usr/sbin/sendmail - /usr/sbin/mailwrapper Should it actually be the sendmail binary that postfix installs, and if so I'm wondering how it could have ended up being a symlink? -- Bruce Cran ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

At least I haven't restarted the Jail yet but so far everything works! I just hope this stays permanently as I find Jails a bit less stable then Solaris Zones which is what I'm trying to mimic with them; however, it might just be because I don't know how to use them yet as I've only just learned about how to create them and run simple services in them. Meaning that my statement is probably wy premature!!

After I did a big portupgrade on the April 25th, I am now getting a lot these... +pid 53508 (conftest), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) +pid 28553 (smtp), uid 125: exited on signal 11 +pid 28569 (smtp), uid 125: exited on signal 11 +pid 28657 (smtp), uid 125: exited on signal 11 ..in my logs. I've tried forcing a rebuild of postfix and all dependency to no avail. I don't seem to be loosing any email. I'm assuming it's postfix (I don't use sendmail), but I could be wrong. Anyone know what this is or where I should start looking? Did I not upgrade something correctly after the big changes?

Anyone know what this is or where I should start looking? Did I not upgrade something correctly after the big changes? Thanks Signal 11, or SIGSEGV, is a segmentation violation. It occurs when a program makes an invalid memory reference. The program exits (crashes) and leaves a dump of it's memory image on the file system somewhere. The memory image, a .core file, is somewhere on your file system and will allow the application (I assume Postfix) to be debugged (using gdb). -Brandon ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Anyone know what this is or where I should start looking? Did I not upgrade something correctly after the big changes? One quick thing you can check is your /etc/mail/mailer.conf: # Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail # sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail send-mail/usr/local/sbin/sendmail mailq/usr/local/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail I've had this happen before when I did a system rebuild and the original system based sendmail became used again instead of the Postfix install. If this file got reset back to pointing at the system sendmail somehow you will see these errors. IIRC Postfix has a switch which selects where it gets installed. Perhaps the upgrade didn't put it back where it originally was located, in which case you are again executing the sendmail binary instead of the mail getting picked up by Postfix. This is what my current /etc/rc.conf looks like: #sendmail_enable=NONE postfix_enable=YES sendmail_enable=NO #sendmail_flags=-bd #sendmail_pidfile=/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid #sendmail_procname=/usr/local/libexec/postfix/master sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO Also, if you are using sasl auth you might try rebuilding that as well. You might get more info looking in the /var/log/maillog too. Just a few quickies off the top of my head to get started with... -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That's the IDLE extension to IMAPv4 -- it's not a push protocol as such: the client still has to log into the server rather than vice versa, but once the client has read all the available e-mail, it can put itself into an idle state, and the server will wake it up as soon as any new e-mail comes in. Yes. In fact, one of the nice things about IMAPrev4 as a protocol is that the server is allowed (in fact, required by rfc3501) to notify the client if the mailbox size increases while executing any command, by sending an EXISTS response which the client is required to handle. IDLE is just a command that takes a long time to execute (specifically, until the client ends it or the server's time limit is reached) so that the server has to send EXISTS responses whenever mail comes in.

Thanks for any help, or even a point in the right direction. Sounds like what you want is an e-mail to SMS gateway. There are several scripts in the ports for generating SMSes from the command line, which you should be able to make use of. You'll need to choose something appropriate for your area. Otherwise you're looking at proprietary software as used by the likes of Blackberry.

I've searched the web and I can't find any information about how to make this work. I know it can be done with Exchange and ActiveSync, but I don't want to run any kind of exchange server. Hmm, something similar recently came up here in the thread Exchange ActiveSync account, and in both cases there seems to be confusion in the roles of the MTA, the MDA and the MUA. The MTA is only responsible to relay mail to it's destination, the MDA to store it somewhere and the MUA to retrieve it. The mail is delivered in a mailbox and once it reaches that mailbox it is not the MTA's nor the MDA's problem anymore. It just sits there until you can reach your mailbox and read it. Many people think that IMAP, POP3 and alike are part of the mail (MTA) system but they are not. They are completely separate systems designed for you to be able to access/fetch your mailbox(es) from a remote location. Remember that email was invented on multi-user systems so when you log-in to a machine via telnet, ssh or sitting on a terminal, you access your email directly from the mailbox, you don't need to fetch it to a remote location to read it. Anyway, if you want to take mail from one mailbox and send it to another location, you need to pop-it (regardless if it's pop, imap or what have you) and then re-send it to the new destination. This is usually not the work on an MTA AFAIK and you need to use other tools such as Fetchmail. Hope this helps, Alejandro Imass Thanks for any help, or even a point in the right direction.

What I would use (and indeed do use) is Funambol, its and open source push media server.

So how is Mobil Me and Exchange Servers (MS, Zimbra, etc) doing it? That's what I'd like to replicate on my FreeBsd server. This seems to be a well guarded secret I'd like to crack. On the iPhone, at least, the phone is not polling the servers, some kind of message (SMS?) is being sent to the phone that makes it put a little red badge on the corner of the mail app icon telling it how many messages are waiting. The messages don't seem to be download during the push, it's just a count (I could be wrong about this). -- R ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
