Re: Getting around ISP SMTP firewall settings (Re: Submitting a new port if send-pr is broken)
To be perfectly clear this isn't really receiving mail. Your configuring a system at dydns.org or some other mail forwarder to receive your mail for you then forward it on to your system using the alternative port. Not what I am doing. I only suggested that to the original poster who has an inbound port25 restriction. I receive all my important email directly. Frankly, unless you processing mail for a lot of people, there is no benefit to running your own mailserver, and you really ought to be using a client-server model for getting mail, as you are doing. The OP just hasn't realized this yet. There are very good reasons why one might want to receive mail directly. I live and work aboard a trawler, I do not always have the same ISP for connectivity. At the home dock, I have DSL, underway, I have a satellite link, close to shore while cruising, or anchored, I have Sprint some marinas offer 80211, etc My Important email, like weather/navigation alerts, family e-mail, work related email is delivered directly to the on-board server, which has a name.servebbs.org, and is kept DNS's properly via dyndns. All of my outbound email is smart-hosted to another ISP on port 587 Start TLS. This way, I do not have to have any special access to any particular ISP to get and send email, it shows up immediately, and I am notified.

I was running everything locally at one time. Since my (FreeBSD) router is always up, and my provider keeps the IP the same it worked for me. There were some reverse DNS issues where incoming mail from say AOL wouldn't make it but for me it was who cares. The senders I cared about worked. I since moved mail for my domains to http://www.csoft.net. These guys fit my budget ($15/mo), provide a static IP, let me pick FreeBSD as my server (vs. OpenBSD or Linux last time I checked; there may be other choices now.) I also get shell access which lets me port forward when needed to get around providers (or hotels) that block ports I need. Last I checked, there are no bandwidth or other restrictions. They are also very open source friendly.

Thunderbird doesn't necessarily go through an SMTP connection to the local host, so it may work with or without a local MTA installation setup (depending on which host you forward outgoing email). If you set up Thunderbird to use `localhost' for outgoing email, then you have to also configure a local MTA (Sendmail, Postfix, or qmail are popular choices). I don't think there's an easy way to set up the local Sendmail installation to *receive* email from the world without some sort of `static address' though. To do that, you would have to work with your ISP, so that: * Your address does not change semi-randomly or ramdonly. * Your fully qualified domain resolves correctly and its MX records point to your static IP address. * Your incoming port 25 traffic is not filtered. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you attempt to send mail using a dynamic IP, it is going to be blocked by most MTAs since it fails reverse DNS checking. I am assuming that you are attempting to bypass your ISP. You have to get a static IP from your provider. With port 25 presently blocked, you might consider using something like mail relaying/forwarding from a service like DYNDNS: http://www.dyndns.com/. -- Gerard ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As far I can all inbound/outbound smtp/http (25, 587, and 80) are blocked by the ISP (they offer them under a business package that also includes a static IP but currently that is too pricey) You really need to clarify what you mean by inbound and outbound. I'll assume that by inbound, you mean you cannot have inbound connections to ports 25, 587, and 80. This is perfectly legitimate for a residential ISP connection. I'll assume that by outbound, you mean you cannot have outbound connections to ports 25, 587, and 80. This is silly. A block on an outbound connection to port 80 would mean you couldn't surf the web. I'll assume you mean that outbound port 25 is blocked to everywhere except for the ISP's own mailserver. That also is perfectly legitimate for a residential ISP connection. A block on an outbound port 587 connection has only ONE purpose, to prevent you from using a legitimate mailserver for sending mail other than the ISPs server. Servers on the Internet that respond to port 587 are only supposed to relay mail from AUTH connections to 587 so allowing ISP customers to use 587 is not a security or SPAM problem. 587 is not used for server-to-server mail traffic. If your ISP is indeed blocking outbound 587 then you have justifyable reasons to scream and bitch, and they do NOT have any justifyable reason to block it. None of the large cable or DLS providers block outbound 587 4. The ISP is the only one in my area (semi-rural) that offers high speed bandwidth 5. Even though my web hoster offers mail forwarding it does not offer mail box and/or mailing list hosting (having prepaid for 2 years and only being 2 months into the deal I am not going to switch providers) There's plenty of ISP's on the Internet that offer mailboxes only. I can't fault your webhoster for not wanting to get into offering mailboxes. It is a speciality, just as webhosting is a speciality. What you really should have done, (of course hindsight is a great revealer) is to have contracted with an ISP where you could have colocated a server. For probably $100 a month you could have your own box with a public IP address and run a mailserver on it, hosted your website on it, and you could have modified it so that instead of port 587, you did auth-smtp on port 588 and then gotten around your ISP's block on outbound 587 (if infact, such exists) You really only have 2 non-business connection choices as I see it. First, contract with some ISP that will sell you a mailbox that will take domain mail. Next build a mailserver at your site that uses fetchmail to pop down that mail and port 587 to send it out. Last, on your site mailserver, setup a pop3 or imap server that uses a non-standard port#, then config your road warrior clients to use that port, or setup a webmail interface and use a URL like webmail.flosoft-systems.com:86/webmaillogin.cgi to access it. This assumes outbound port 110 and 587 are NOT blocked. If outbound port 587 and 110 ARE blocked, then you cannot do anything other than the colocated box that has all non-standard ports, OR say hell with it and work out a deal with an ISP to do virtual mailboxes and mailhosting. If you want to do that last, I'd be happy to pitch pricing to you for my employer off list. (as no doubt, many other list readers could) Really, as others have said, it's easier to pay the money for the business line. How much extra do they want for it?

Currently trying to figure out how to get ports upgraded in a sane fashion as well, as I've noticed some of the packages are quite behind in comparison to the ports they're based on. First of all, if you look into the ports directories on the FreeBSD FTP servers, you'll see different versions of the packages, e.g. packages-5-stable, packages-6-stable, packages-6.2-release, packages-7-current, etc. Depending on which version you installed, 'pkg_add -r' picks the packages from one of those directories. So if you installed 6.2-RELEASE, you'll probably get packages from packages-6.2-release. That packages tree is based on the ports tree at the moment that 6.2 was released. So the best way to keep your ports current is to build them yourself. First, update your ports tree with portsnap (from the base system). Then install one of the ports management tools like portmaster or portupgrade, and use that to upgrade the ports. Do read /usr/ports/UPDATING so that you are aware of any issues. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask on the list, but have a look through the list archives as well, if you can access them.

Help with a new port?
Hi, My name is Zachary Kline, and I've recently begun experimenting with BSD-style operating systems under Qemu. I happen to be blind, and thus Qemu's serial console--more specifically, the ability to redirect this console output over a TCP port--is the only way I could get FreeBSD installed, since it doesn't come with much in the way of accessibility tools. I can't fault anybody for this last, however. Anyway, to get to the point: I'm not quite sure where to ask this. I have a new port which I feel should be included in the FreeBSD accessibility category, if only because I noticed its absence in searching for it. I've had trouble getting it to port myself, though, and have little real programming experience of the kind it would require. This port is Emacspeak, from http://emacspeak.sf.net. It's a screen reader--though that term isn't really encouraged by the developer--for the Emacs work environment. I'm wondering if anybody on here might be able to help with this porting, or be willing to discuss accessibility of FreeBSD in general.

A new port?
I recently found this on the net while working on a project: http://www.ctie.monash.edu.au/SocketCC/ I have found the little of it I have managed to use very usefull. Just wondering if other people think it is worth making a port out of, and if so what it would involve? -- /Xian The only real valuable thing is intuition.

No. It probably means that the FreeBSD mail server has rejected your e-mail as part of it's anti-spam settings. It's very strict about accepting only absolutely correctly addressed e-mails. If the e-mail isn't up to scratch, it will be silently dropped into /dev/null. One thing that will often trip you up when using send-pr(1) is having sendmail(8) correctly set up on the local machine -- most mail programs such as Thunderbird will speak directly to your ISPs smart mail host and will fill in the correct e-mail addresses for you. One thing that will cause your e-mail to be instantly rejected is if it is sent using an unreachable 'From' address. You can fill in the correct address in the send-pr(1) editing screen, but it's easier in the long run to configure sendmail to insert appropriate addresses automatically. The 'MASQUERADE' features of sendmail are generally what you need to do that, although there are other mechanisms available. Look for the documentation in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README on: MASQUERADE_AS(`example.com') FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope') Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 8 Dane Court Manor School Rd PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Tilmanstone Tel: +44 1304 617253 Kent, CT14 0JL UK pgpcTdEcKORk0.pgp Description: PGP signature
