With Linux iptables you should be able to just work with the fact that
the connection is going to port 25 and not care what port it is coming
from.

Davide, When sending SMTP, does XMail always use a source port of 25, or
dynamic port?

If it was always source port of 25, then I could use a firewall to source
translate IP packets from a specific IP and port.
Alternately being able to specify in XMail the sending IP[:port] would solve
the problem.

[xmail] Re: Binding XMail to a specific NIC/IP address

2003-06-10 Thread Rob Arends

I must chuckle -  everything is solved with Linux - in this case IPTABLES
does it.

This is not a solution for the w32 environment.
Some options have been thrown around in this thread, and I'm sure will work.
However the solutions often complicate the email system beyond a point where
future problem solving becomes rather dificult.

Most w32 based mail servers I've used (and there are many) will bind SMTP to
the IP address specified for BOTH in and out going SMTP connections.
This may not be the default in the linux world, hence Davide has built XMail
to listen only on the specified IP address.

Any good firewall (or IPtables) should be able to translate the addresses,
but the original problem as I recall was that the server had 2 nics and one
nic was very busy doing non mail tasks. The other was dedicated to mail,
however outbound smtp mail was not going out this nic.

An alternate solution is to change which is the default nic.!!

No, you do not bind a specific IP:PORT when you do a connect. You leave
the TCP/IP+routing layer to pick up one for you.

The connections inbound to WWW isn't the major amount of traffic, it's
the internal users which use the connection which max it out when
sending newsletters. This is why I want to separate the two services
onto separate NIC's. Allow internal users to use WWW on one NIC with no
slowdown and have SMTP using the second NIC so it doesn't have any
network slowdown or interfere with the users on the first NIC.

This is on a Windows 2000 server.

[xmail] Re: Binding XMail to a specific NIC/IP address

2003-06-06 Thread Alex Young

SpamCop is rubbish in my opinion, unfortunately many people think its
great. 

The Windows server has 2 NICS with 2 different IP addresses. The
firewall uses NAT to give these 2 NIC's different static IP's for the
internet on outbound connections. If I could get windows to bind one
SMTP service running on port 25 to one NIC/IP and bind the other SMTP
service running on port 2525 to the other NIC/IP all my problems would
be solved.

I suppose being able to specify what outbound port Xmail could use and
then using the Firewall NAT to translate all connections would also
work, but I am not certain that it would.

I would love to use a second machine. I swear as techies become
management their intelligence decreases with each promotion. Its almost
impossible to make them understand the need for new hardware and/or
software. They want to know what's wrong with the PII 233mhz with 128mb
of ram running NT4 and why we cant install Xmail and other stuff on
that!

Pi only works for incoming email. We currently have a firewall and it
will translate the internal IP address to an external one. That's why I
am trying to bind Xmail to the one NIC with the different IP address.

Asunto: [xmail] Binding XMail to a specific NIC/IP address



Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to bind xmail to send out
email through a specific NIC or IP address?

I know you can bind XMails incoming connections to specific IP addresses
through the MAIL_CMD_LINE in the registry, any thing to do the same for
outbound connections?

Thanks,
Alex

SpamCop is rubbish in my opinion, unfortunately many people think its
great. 

The Windows server has 2 NICS with 2 different IP addresses. The
firewall uses NAT to give these 2 NIC's different static IP's for the
internet on outbound connections. If I could get windows to bind one
SMTP service running on port 25 to one NIC/IP and bind the other SMTP
service running on port 2525 to the other NIC/IP all my problems would
be solved.

I suppose being able to specify what outbound port Xmail could use and
then using the Firewall NAT to translate all connections would also
work, but I am not certain that it would.

I would love to use a second machine. I swear as techies become
management their intelligence decreases with each promotion. Its almost
impossible to make them understand the need for new hardware and/or
software. They want to know what's wrong with the PII 233mhz with 128mb
of ram running NT4 and why we cant install Xmail and other stuff on
that!

[xmail] Re: Binding XMail to a specific NIC/IP address

2003-06-06 Thread Alex Young

I fully agree with you Davide. Unfortunatly management sees something
that is hard to administer. For instance I can talk one of the others
non-network people through fixing something on windows. To do the same
thing takes 5 times as long on Linux because they are unfamiliar with
it. I was brought up with MS-DOS before Windows 3 so I have never had
any problems with command line tolls etc. I don't think a single
programmer at work could do anything in linux with out some kind of GUI.
With me being the only support person I can get calls any time night or
day even if I am on holiday so I need something that I can talk a
complete Muppet (management) through as quickly and as easily as
possible.

Hopefully later this year I will be able to get a linux box for internal
DNS and IDS as we seem to be coming under a lot of attacks recently.

At home I am running Red Hat 9, WinXP and Windows 2003. They all have
their uses and I use them all. Just wish management could see that Linux
can be useful too.

I know that many of you are just forced to work with it. But it seems so

Hello Alex,

AY solution.

MS SMTP is an excellent tool for certain jobs. It is very fast (if
bandwidth exists) and very efficient for relay. It can also be
used as a backup mx although it is not particularly easy to
automate.  And it doesn't cost anything.

in TCP, it's always incoming (theres no difference from incoming mails and
outgoing mails, theres only connections).
For outgoing connections (to restrict server so that it can only connect to
1 site) use the relay feature

Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to bind xmail to send out
email through a specific NIC or IP address?

I know you can bind XMails incoming connections to specific IP addresses
through the MAIL_CMD_LINE in the registry, any thing to do the same for
outbound connections?

Thanks,
Alex

that is not specific to the application but to the ip protocol. you'll have
to setup your eth0 (the first device) to the ip you wish or use an ip-filter
like iptables. only for incoming traffic you can choose the ip binding.

[xmail] Re: Binding XMail to a specific NIC/IP address

2003-06-05 Thread Alex Young

Our server has 2 network cards. The first one just has inbound WWW
connections. The second one has all the inbound POP3/SMTP connections. 

I want to specify that outbound connections only go through the second
network card for the email as the primary card is under much more use
from internal clients and WWW connections. If I send a newsletter out it
sends it through the primary NIC and slows down access.

I was looking for a way to exclusively use the 2nd NIC for email to
avoid this problem as the NIC doesn't get much use.

Thanks,
Alex
