Re: SSL/TLS
In my experience, Thunderbird auto-configuration is not good. Configure it manually, choosing STARTTLS as the encryption method. -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org
Crashing once a day and not auto-starting back
Hello misc@, sending again from different account. Sorry if duplicate. I rented an OpenBSD 5.9-release amd64 VPS and updated it to 5.9-stable with https://stable.mtier.org/openup. Before submitting a ticket to the VPS provider, I wanted to see if I'm doing something wrong. Regularly, the smtpd service stops running and it won't autostart back, although it is activated to do so. # smtpctl show status smtpctl: smtpd doesn't seem to be running # rcctl ls on check_quotas cron ntpd smtpd sshd syslogd # rcctl ls started cron ntpd sshd syslogd # rcctl start smtpd smtpd(ok) Below it is my smtpd.conf, edited to not show personal details, it is a quite simple forwarding setup: pki mydomain.com certificate "/etc/mail/tls/mycert.crt" pki mydomain.com key "/etc/mail/tls/mykey.key" table authtable file:/etc/mail/authtable table vusers file:/etc/mail/vusers table vdoms file:/etc/mail/vdoms listen on all port 25 tls-require pki mydomain.com auth-optional \ hostname mydomain.com accept from any for domain virtual deliver to mbox accept from local for any relay --- I ran chmod -R 0400 /etc/mail/tls/, if it helps to know that. Both sending and receiving works fine when smtpd is running, but it is the second time I woke up in the morning having smtpd stopped with no apparent reason, and not autostarting back. When I reboot the VPS, smtpd autostarts with no problems. I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong place, but /var/log/maillog isn't showing anything relevant. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance for reading. -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org

Perhaps coming from a Debian background I got this wrong. Turn up the verbosity. smtpd_flags="-v" Done, thank you. -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org

Is it a way to autostart it again if it crashes? I just added the verbosity flag to smtpd, so I guess I'll have more log details if and as soon as it crashes again. -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org

Can you provide more details ? logs before the crash ? Any news ? Yes. It crashes in the night (UTC-3). Seeing the logs I see a pattern of what seems bots trying to use my SMTP server to send phony emails. OpenSMTPd successfuly rejects them, but somehow it crashes at some point. I guess I should be reading how to ban these people through pf rules. -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org
