I'm getting "postfix/qmgr warning: connect to transport private/dspam: No such file or directory" when I run the periodic script train.sh, I get "Unable to find a valid signature. Aborting." and "process_message returned error -5. dropping message." I'm not sure what I've done wrong. I've reverted, but we'd like to use dspam (or other anti-spam software on our server. The (coreduo mini) system is running Leopard. Fred Turner on "Upgrading Postfix on MOSXS" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/upgrading-postfix-on-mosxs#post-958 Fri, 06 May 2011 01:23:23 +0000 Fred Turner 958@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hi Richard (& others)-- I know this is outside the normal realm and scope of this site, but I'm not sure where else to turn. I'd like to upgrade Postfix on a PPC Mac OS X Server 10.5 and a Mac Pro MOSXS 10.6. They come w/ v2.4.3 and v2.5.5, respectively, and I need at least v2.6 to implement the tcp_windowsize parameter in the hopes of getting around a sending problem w/ larger messages. Currently, I'm tackling the G4 Leopard Server first, since it is a backup and fouling it up isn't the end of the world. I can get Postfix 2.8.2 to compile and run, and even receive mail, but I must be messing up something with my make statement, as I am unable to use SASL authentication for sending (and I could before). The log shows: <pre><code>May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.101] May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: warning: unknown[192.168.1.101]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[192.168.1.101] May 5 20:10:01 G4-Server postfix/smtpd[28752]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.1.101]</code></pre> I've tried to use a portion of the make statement from the directions here, w/ some tweaking from the docs at postfix.org. Since this is a MOSXS, I have not configured MySQL, so I've left that part out. Here is what I entered last: <pre><code>sudo make -f Makefile.init makefiles CCARGS="-DUSE_TLS -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/include/sasl \ " AUXLIBS="-lssl -lcrypto -L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2"</code></pre> Any thoughts or insights into why this error might be occurring? I've been unable to find any links to instructions or tips for upgrading the MOSXS installation of Postfix. Thanks, Fred robcd on "10.6.5 -> 10.6.7 breaks postfix setup (with fix)" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/1065-1067-breaks-postfix-setup-with-fix#post-935 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:07:32 +0000 robcd 935@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Dear Postfix forum, After upgrading my Mac OS X client, I got the following error message: ... postfix/smtpd[526]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: mysql I noticed that the /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd executable had been changed, together with who knows what else in that directory. So I restored the old one, only to get a similar error message from the trivial-rewrite executable (in the same directory). So I restored that as well, followed by the cleanup one, and then all is well again. So a couple of questions: * What should I do to fix things properly? * How can I avoid having to do this next time I upgrade the OS? Thanks and best regards, Rob PS Setup has otherwise worked great - many thanks! seventhfire on "postfix will not accept connection on port 25" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/postfix-will-not-accept-connection-on-port-25#post-919 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 08:16:19 +0000 seventhfire 919@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ I'm running pretty much the default install of postfix that comes with Snow Leopard. I can send mail out to the internet in a terminal on the system in question using mail or telnet to port 25 using localhost or the ip on the system. The problem I'm having is no other systems on my local network can get a connection to port 25. I've verified with netstat there is a process listening on port 25. I've setup mynetworks in include all ip's on my local network. I've made multiple searches on different forum's trying to figure this out but I'm missing the boat somewhere. Can anyone give me some clue's on what to check. I realize I need to provide some more configuration information but I thought I'd wait until someone lets me know exactly what to post. Thanks in advance Seventhfire Fred Turner on "Postfix "Can't connect to MySQL server"" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/postfix-cant-connect-to-mysql-server#post-816 Tue, 11 May 2010 17:40:55 +0000 Fred Turner 816@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Had everything pretty close to running, aside from the "createmaildir" script not working, but after a reboot of the server, I get this over and over in the logs: postfix/trivial-rewrite[809]: warning: connect to mysql server 127.0.0.1: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61) postfix/trivial-rewrite[809]: fatal: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table lookup problem postfix/smtpd[479]: warning: problem talking to service rewrite: Unknown error: 0 postfix/master[31]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/trivial-rewrite pid 809 exit status 1 postfix/master[31]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/trivial-rewrite: bad command startup -- throttling Any idea why it can't connect? I'm assuming that the "table lookup problem" is simply the first mysql lookup that postfix does, and since it is unable to connect, that fails w/ the "lookup problem"...right? I manually ran mysql and connected as user "postfix" w/o issue. Thx, Fred LarryL on "Temporary lookup failure" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/temporary-lookup-failure#post-824 Mon, 24 May 2010 21:55:08 +0000 LarryL 824@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hey Richard, I just switched from your Courier setup to the Dovecot setup. I started getting messages like this: <blockquote>May 24 16:18:17 autoreply postfix/smtpd[9133]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from itspmx3.zzz.ms.us[999.12.20.50]: 451 4. 3.0 <bwcassoc.comchad.allen@peer.zzz.ms.us>: Temporary lookup failure; from=<djackson@cvm.tamu.edu> to=<bwcassoc <a href="mailto:.comchad.allen@peer.zzz.ms.us">.comchad.allen@peer.zzz.ms.us</a>> proto=ESMTP helo=<itspmx3.zzz.ms.us></blockquote> for each bad address. How can I change the temporary failure to a permanent failure? abton on "Compiling Postfix on Snow Leopard" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/compiling-postfix-on-snow-leopard#post-702 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:35:17 +0000 abton 702@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hi all, I tried following the instructions on this site to compile Postfix on Snow Leopard and noticed that it tries to use an include file (nameser8_compat.h) that has been removed from the latest XCode SDK. After a bit of looking around I found out that this can easily be resolved if you don't mind a little bit of source code editing. Find the file src/util/sys_defs.h and then remove the line: #define RESOLVE_H_NEEDS_NAMESER8_COMPAT_H When you try and build Postfix it will no longer try and include nameser8_compat.h and it will compile happily. Just thought I would share this. I use this site as a reference all the time and it's nice to give something back! dw on "Spam RBL errors" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/spam-rbl-errors#post-628 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:30:54 +0000 dw 628@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ I've been having some issues the last couple of weeks in receiving e-mail, and having finally noticed some errors in mail.log referencing some RBL spam sites, I looked in to it a bit more. The two RBLs in Richard's /etc/postfix/main.cf are: <pre><code>reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org,</code></pre> the first, dsbl.org, was giving errors every e-mail, thus deferring them (though not bouncing them, I think). spamhaus.org was often giving errors, but not always. I checked dsbl.org, and it says they've shut the system down: <blockquote> DSBL is GONE and highly unlikely to return. Please remove it from your mail server configuration. DSBL was a blocklist specialized in listing open relays and open proxies. To put it simply, DSBL listed IP addresses of computers that could be tricked into sending spam by anybody. This was a very successful strategy. Nowadays open relays and open proxies are rare, spammers hardly ever use them any more and no software seems to come with an open-by-default policy any more. </blockquote> I didn't find much on spamhaus.org (nor did I look too deeply) about the situation. In any case, I've removed both of these from my main.cf file and things are working again. I'd like to hear if anyone knows why I should try to replace these....I guess I'll see if there is a significant increase in spam. dw on "Problems with updating CPAN / Perl (first step in Greylisting)" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/problems-with-updating-cpan-perl-first-step-in-greylisting#post-570 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:44:26 +0000 dw 570@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Richard, compatriots, Any clues on how to get this to work? :: sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN' Password: Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to some missing parameters...

What an excellent source of information this web site is...!!! I got MySQL, Apache and PHP all successfully working. However, I am struggling to get even a basic mail server up and running. After building, installing, configuring and starting all of the required pieces, I find that I am unable to send or receive e-mail. Looking in /var/log/mail.log I see the same pattern of messages repreated every 60 seconds or so: <code> Mar 12 16:00:10 MacMiniServer postfix/trivial-rewrite[584]: warning: connect to mysql server 127.0.0.1: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61) Mar 12 16:00:10 MacMiniServer postfix/trivial-rewrite[584]: fatal: mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table lookup problem Mar 12 16:00:11 MacMiniServer postfix/smtpd[488]: warning: problem talking to service rewrite: Unknown error: 0 Mar 12 16:00:11 MacMiniServer postfix/smtpd[347]: warning: problem talking to service rewrite: Unknown error: 0 Mar 12 16:00:11 MacMiniServer postfix/master[286]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/trivial-rewrite pid 584 exit status 1 Mar 12 16:00:11 MacMiniServer postfix/master[286]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/trivial-rewrite: bad command startup -- throttling </code> I am able to connect to MySQL from a cmd line: <code> MacMiniServer:~ Rimas$ mysql --user=Rimas --password=******** Welcome to the MySQL monitor.

If it helps, my mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf looks like this: <code> MacMiniServer:~ Rimas$ cat /etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf user = mailsrvr password = ******** hosts = 127.0.0.1 dbname = postfix query = SELECT goto FROM alias WHERE address='%s' AND active = 1 MacMiniServer:~ Rimas$ </code> I have tried changing user = mailsrvr to user = Rimas, and also hosts = 127.0.0.1 to hosts = localhost but to no avail. At this point I feel like I am kinda stuck and am hoping that I am just missing something really obvious.

At one time I used my mailserver to send mail as well as receive, but because I was using a dynamic IP, I ended up being blocked by some servers. Now that I'm static, I'd like to go back to using my own server, but for the life of my cannot figure out what's preventing me from connecting my mail program to my smtp server. Where should I start to look? :) DW Nick on "More mail problems - Unable to open mailbox" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/more-mail-problems-unable-to-open-mailbox#post-466 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:25:59 +0000 Nick 466@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Having solved the last problem of not a failure to create a mailbox, I now have new error in the mail log: to=<nick@xxxxxxxx>, relay=maildrop, delay=90883, delays=90872/0.32/0/10, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure.

I've done this with an alias: @mydomain.com --> <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>. I use this setup so that every site I set up an account for gets given a different email address, e.g. <a href="mailto:diymacserver@mydomain.com">diymacserver@mydomain.com</a> the idea behind this is that if I get lots of spam sent to a particular address I can just start to bounce the mail sent to that address... Anyway, I now have an address that I want to bounce (because lots of spam goes there), but can't work out how to use postfix.admin to bounce specific addresses... Basically I want to keep my general alias: @mydomain.com --> <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>. but also have a rule that says that mail to the alias: <a href="mailto:thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com">thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com</a> --> bounce back to sender Any ideas on how to do this? jlg89 on "Enabling SMTP AUTH on Mac OS X Server 10.4.x" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/enabling-smtp-auth-on-mac-os-x-server-104x#post-420 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 17:43:02 +0000 jlg89 420@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ I have postfix 2.4.6 up and running on MOSXS 10.4.11, and TLS/SSL works with POP, IMAP, and SMTP, but I have yet to be able to get SMTP AUTH to work.

Richard on "Regexp instead of PCRE in postfix access?" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/regexp-instead-of-pcre-in-postfix-access#post-281 Sat, 27 Jan 2007 09:05:20 +0000 Richard 281@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ The thing is that you are mixing up two seperate functions into one. The listing of the PCRE filter <code>/./     FILTER dspam:dspam</code> in the option "smtpd_recipient_restrictions". Is only there to filter incoming mail only. If you leave out this option all outgoing mail will be filtered as well which is not something you would want. The retraining transports are there for another reason, you want to feed dspam with incorrect identified emails and you don't want it delivered to a users mailbox. Therefore you define a separate transport. In main.cf you add the following lines to do that <code>recipient_delimiter = - </code> (to separate the username from the -spam in the mail address) and <code>transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps $transport_maps </code> to define the transports: and then you ceate a file called transport and add: <code><a href="mailto:spam@mydomain.tld">spam@mydomain.tld</a>    dspam-retrain:spam <a href="mailto:ham@mydomain.tld">ham@mydomain.tld</a>     dspam-retrain:innocent <a href="mailto:notspam@mydomain.tld">notspam@mydomain.tld</a>     dspam-retrain:innocent </code> do a <code>sudo postmap transport</code> to convert it. and add <code>dspam-retrain   unix    -       n       n       -       10      pipe   flags=Ru user=dspam argv=/usr/local/bin/dspam-retrain $nexthop $sender $recipient </code> as a transport in our master.cf for retraining purposes !
