[Postfixadmin-devel] writing a 3rd party user insert

[Brad <br...@ny...>]

I am writing an application that needs to add a user to postfix and we are
on a postfixadmin standard.

A quick glance at the database structure and it looks like you guys took
care of all the hard work.

I detect a form of a hook in your code, any special advice on the SQL
insert, such that will update all the appropriate fields?

 

Thank you in advance,

Brad

Re: [Postfixadmin-devel] noreply@ … to /dev/null question

[Regan Y. <reg...@gm...>]

Looking at the uncaught message being sent to the aliased address -  mailer@... - postfix appears to add the devnull@... address in under its - Delivered-To: - header. So if I can filter the message by this header it would achieve what I'm after. Does anyone know if/how that's possible? Thanks.

That is because it is not sent to the discarded mailbox, which is devnull, but to another mailbox which is not discarded.
You need to add a regex for the aliased address also, not just the address the alias points to.

[Postfixadmin-devel] noreply@… to /dev/null question

[Regan Y. <reg...@gm...>]

I'm trying to implement a solution for a noreply email address - de...@ex... - to be sent to /dev/null on my MX server.
I have postfix setup using virtual domains which queries a remote mysql server running PostfixAdmin to administer the virtual domains.
In postfixadmin I have setup a real mailbox for de...@ex...
I have also setup an alias - ma...@ex... - for the de...@ex... mailbox.
Using the setup below mail is successfully being DISCARDed fine when email is addressed directly to de...@ex... before the MX server attempts to deliver it via LMTP to my remote mail store.
But when the mail is sent to the alias - ma...@ex... - and includes orig_to (see below) the mail is NOT being DISCARDed.

Can anyone tell me the correct way to do this so it also catches mail when it has been aliased?

The regex below is "supposed" to catch ANY email accepted by this MX server addressed to any valid mailbox - de...@an...

# cat /etc/postfix/devnull-discard
/^devnull@.*$/	DISCARD

# main.cf
smtpd_data_restrictions = check_recipient_access regexp:/etc/postfix/devnull-discard, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_multi_recipient_bounce, permit

Any mail sent to - de...@ex... - is successfully discarded:

Oct  1 20:50:26 mta-0 postfix/smtpd[27903]: DEB4FC096: discard: DATA from mail-pd0-f173.google.com[209.85.192.173]: <de...@ex...>: Recipient address triggers DISCARD action; from=<ex...@gm...> to=<de...@ex...> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-pd0-f173.google.com>

But any email message originally sent to - ma...@ex... - is not caught:

Oct  1 20:50:35 mta-0 postfix/lmtp[27909]: F3CDDC096: to=<de...@ex...>, orig_to=<ma...@ex...>, relay=X.X.X.X[X.X.X.X]:2424, delay=1.1, delays=0.69/0.01/0.04/0.33, dsn=2.6.0, status=sent (250 2.6.0 <de...@ex...> Message accepted for delivery)

Thanks.

Set CONF['encrypt'] = 'dovecot:whatever' (where "whatever" is the 
encryption method as named in dovecot)

Let me warn you that salted dovecot:* password encryption is a one-way 
road. You can use it to create password hashes, but you won't be able to 
login to PostfixAdmin with it because "doveadm pw" doesn't allow to 
specify the hash, so PostfixAdmin can't use it to verify the password.

Needless to say: sha512-crypt seems to be salted (doveadm pw gives me 
different hashes when feeding it with the same password multiple times), 
so you won't be able to login in PostfixAdmin.

Looking for a bit of direction in getting postfixadmin to work with 
sha512-crypt passwords.  Recently moved to dovecot and this is the one

 From the googling I did I'm pretty sure it's possible but I didn't see

Yes, those additions make sense :-) - thanks for your patch!

In general your changes look good, but there are some details I 
modified:


In fetchmail.pl, you added
    $cmd.=" dropdelivered";
to the fetchmail config which seems unrelated and is not a good idea for 
general usage (it drops "Delivered-To" headers).

You also added "-L /var/log/fetchmail" to the fetchmail parameters. 
Since fetchmail shouldn't run as root, I doubt this will work for most 
people (and the logfile needs to be pre-created).

I won't include those two changes, but would accept a patch that adds 
config options for the additional parameters (so you can easily add them 
yourself without editing the script).


In fetchmail.php, you added the fields

+   "sslcertck"       => array(1,        1,            'bool'      ),
+   "sslcertpath"     => array(1,        1,            'text'      ),
+   "sslfingerck"     => array(1,        1,            'bool'      ),
+   "sslfingerprint"  => array(1,        1,            'text'      ),

but you did not add any validation to the text fields, which means a 
user could inject random fetchmail parameters (I like "mda rm -rf /" 
most ;-)

I'll set sslcertpath and sslfingerprint to be only editable if 
$CONF['fetchmail_extra_options'] == 'YES' (this config option comes with 
a security warning already ;-)

If you have some code to validate the input in those fields, I can relax 
the restrictions (would make sense for the fingerprint) and make it 
available for everybody.

Oh, and the "sslfingerck" field looks superfluous - I'll change the code 
so that it checks if "sslfingerprint" is filled - if yes, it checks the 
fingerprint, if it's empty, it (obviously) doesn't.
(Yes, there's the corner case "disable checking, but store the 
fingerprint for later usage, but I doubt this is needed in practise ;-) 
OTOH, it might cause some confusion, people could forget to set the 
checkmark etc.)


Any objections to the changes I did?

I don't hope so, because that's what I just commited to SVN trunk r1519 
;-) - but if you have a good reason, I can do another commit.

> MySQL:
> ALTER TABLE`fetchmail` ADD `sslcertck` BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' 
> AFTER `usessl` ,

We use tinyint(1), but that doesn't change much. (You might want to 
adjust your table.)

> ADD `sslcertpath` VARCHAR( 254 ) NOT NULL AFTER `sslcertck` ,
> ADD `sslfingerprint` VARCHAR( 254 ) NOT NULL AFTER `sslcertpath`

Added as varchar(255) - also doesn't change much.

The fingerprint can't contain non-ascii chars, to I made the field 
latin1.
The sslcertpath can in theory point to "/home/foo/blöde Zertifikate", so 
I made it utf8. (BTW: seeing this example, does having a space in the 
sslcertpath break anything?)

Both ways work. Escaping - is superfluous, but it doesn't hurt ;-)

The only special case is inside [...] - but there, escaping with \ won't 
work, it has to be the first or last character:

   [a-z]   searches for a, b, c, ..,.y, z
   [az-]   searches for a, z or -
   [-az]   same as [az-]

[Postfixadmin-devel] question about the new vacation $noreply regex strings

[Tanstaafl <tan...@li...>]

Hi all,

I was adding a string to my $noreply regex, and noticed something (don't 
know why I didn't notice it before)...

Some of the expressions being tested are escaping the hyphen (-), and 
some aren't.

The ones that are are from the original strings that were being tested 
against:

...|owner\-|\-(owner|request|bounces)|request\-|...

Does the hyphen in these strings need to be escaped? I have about 6 
others that are not...

Thanks,

Charles

I somehow doubt a user will note the difference between 1000 and 1024 as 
multiplier ;-)  (well, maybe when it comes to harddisk sizes measured in 
"Marketing-MB" ;-) because fdisk will tell a quite different disk size, 
but probably not with mailboxes)

OK. Will you replace the "!" in the latest SVN version (again), or

Just ignore the "Obsolete" strings. They are unused in the latest SVN

Agreed. I didn't really thought of it since I use 1024 as multiplier,
and 1024 in the short manuel to my users.

with "." in danish (and probably norwegian and swedish to), it's
generally frowned upon. I don't think it's a problem outside of

To be honest I only read the english part on the strings that wasn't

As a norwegian translator (norwegian and danish written language is almost the same) I can say that I also tend to replace exclamation marks with periods in computer text, because shouting is sometimes improper.

Thanks for the translations!

Some notes and questions:

Please don't use "MiB" - it might be technically correct[1], but most 
users know "MB" much better

You changed several "!" to ".". Are exclamation marks unusual in danish?
(BTW: If you think the english text of a message needs to be changed, 
just tell me/us what you would change.)

And finally: you translated the texts from 2.3.x, but the current 
development version has some new and changed texts. I'd be happy to see 
translations for them also. (See below how to get the latest version.)

I integrated most of your changes in the latest version (except the "!" 
-> "." changes) and commited it to SVN. The integration was partly 
manual work because of the changes since 2.3.x, so it would be good if 
you can give it a quick proofreading ;-)


General translation guidelines:
- download your language file from SVN
  http://postfixadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/postfixadmin/trunk/languages/
- search for lines with '# XXX' comments and
  - translate the line
  - remove the '# XXX'
  Note: The file is utf-8 encoded.
- post your translation to the tracker
  http://sourceforge.net/p/postfixadmin/patches/
  or send it to the mailinglist, as you did

Postfix doesn't allow pipe targets in MySQL maps for security reasons, 
therefore: no, that's not possible.

The usual way to do this is:
- create an alias in PostfixAdmin that points to 
  lo...@yo... (where "yourlocaldomain.com" is a domain 
  that is listed in "mydestination" in main.cf, _not_ in PostfixAdmin)
- add the "log: ..." line to /etc/aliases

In theory you can also add a textfile-based map to virtual_alias_maps 
(pipe targets are allowed in this file), but this might be confusing 
because you won't see this alias in PostfixAdmin.

[Postfixadmin-devel] Postfixadmin alias script

[Yannik S. <ya...@se...>]

Hi,

using hash:/etc/aliases it was possible to pipe mail to a script like 
this: 'log: "|/usr/share/mail2log.sh"'.

Is this also possible with postfixadmin?

Best regards

First, please subscribe to the mailinglist on
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/postfixadmin-devel
Otherwise, you won't receive the answers (unless you are in CC like in 
this mail).

About the migration - how many mailboxes do you have to migrate? 
For 10 mailboxes, doing it manually by creating the mailboxes in 
PostfixAdmin is the fastest way. For 500 mailboxes, some scripting might 
make sense ;-)

If you are using IMAP and want to migrate mails that are stored on the 
ISP's server to your new server, use imapsync.

Hi all,

Ok, puzzled...

I though this final version of Rudi's had already been merged in trunk, 
but I see that it has not:

http://sourceforge.net/p/postfixadmin/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/VIRTUAL_VACATION/vacation.pl

Rudi, or someone, can you please megre these final changes for the new 
vacation variable/function for testing specified strings in the From 
envelope & headers?

Specifically, this version:

https://github.com/valkum/postfixadmin/commit/cdcccddbe2e1d6758cd63899e7b8973156f1412a#VIRTUAL_VACATION/vacation.pl

I'd really hate for this to fall through the cracks after all that work.

Thanks,

Charles

Re: [Postfixadmin-devel] PostfixAdmin @LinuxTag

Hello,

just as a short update:

This changed slightly - I'll be at the openSUSE booth.

I have reserved two slots for PostfixAdmin:
- thursday 15:00-16:00
- friday 11:00-12:00

If you meet me at another time (at the openSUSE booth or elsewhere), 
I'll of course also answer your questions ;-)

Norman, you should have received a mail with your ticket.

I have some more free tickets - please send me a mail if you want one.

Ok, was/is a bug in Mail-Sender-0.8.22, downgrading to 0.8.21 fixed 
it... reporting bug to gentoo package maintainer (don't know if it is a 
generic bug in Mail-Sender or just gentoo's package)...
