[SOLVED]postfix doesn't accept incoming mail

Post by boudewijn » Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:17 pm

Hi


I've been messing around with postfix for the last couple of days, and I ran into some kind of problem.
My mail will not get delivered, and postfix will NOT ehlo too.
But I can connect to the IP at port 25 (using telnet). The box is running gentoo on amd64.

This is my config:

Code: Select all

Password: 
mail boudewijn # cat /etc/postfix/main.cf  
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
myorigin = $myhostname
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, tendam-bremer.nl
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450
mynetworks_style = subnet
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1.0/24
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
        PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
                xxgdb = $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
                sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
                newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
                mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
                setgid_group = postdrop
                manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
                readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5-r2/readme
                default_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
                alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
                local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
                alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
                home_mailbox = .maildir/

masquerade_domains = tendam-bremer.nl




smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination



smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/postfix/server.key
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/postfix/server.crt
smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/postfix/server.pem
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 3
smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom

It will be used for a single domain only, so virtual hosting etc will not be an issue. The IP of the box is 192.168.1.2 so mynetworks should be fine. The portmapping is also well:

Code: Select all

Connection to tendam-bremer.nl closed.
bigmac:~ boudewijn$ telnet 
Display all 108 possibilities? (y or n)
bigmac:~ boudewijn$ telnet tendam-bremer.nl 25
Trying 62.59.177.186...
Connected to tendam-bremer.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.
EHLO tendam-bremer.nl
After sending the EHLO it seams to hang....

in messages, i find this:

Code: Select all

Jun 13 16:15:26 mail postfix/smtpd[5278]: smtpd_sasl_initialize: SASL config file is smtpd.conf
Jun 13 16:15:26 mail postfix/smtpd[5278]: fatal: SASL per-process initialization failed
Jun 13 16:15:27 mail postfix/master[4709]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 5278 exit status 1
Jun 13 16:15:27 mail postfix/master[4709]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
And the smtpd.conf (in /etc/sasl2) looks like this:

Code: Select all

mail boudewijn # cat /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf 
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/mail-mta/postfix/files/smtp.sasl,v 1.2 2004/07/18 03:26:56 dragonheart Exp $
pwcheck_method:saslauthd
mech_list : plain login
For the sake of completeness:

Code: Select all

mail boudewijn # cat /etc/conf.d/saslauthd 
SASLAUTH_MECH=shadow

SASL_RIMAP_HOSTNAME=""
SASL_TIME_OF_DAY_LOGIN_RESTRICTIONS=yes

SASLAUTHD_OPTS="-a ${SASLAUTH_MECH}"

mail boudewijn # 
Does anyone know what's wrong here? (I've restarted both saslauthd and postfix a few times).

Sorry. I can't help! I had Postfix setup for awhile with SASL but that was quite some time ago - and even then the SASL stuff was bewildering to me.

Perhaps the bump will get a useful bite this time.
Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script.

You're main.cf looks strange to me so I checked something. At the top of the main.cf example file, there is a blurb:
# The general format of each line is: parameter = value. Lines
# that begin with whitespace continue the previous line.
A value can
# contain references to other $names or ${name}s.
This being the case your "debugger_command=" line is including many seperate configuration parameters that should have * NO * whitespace in front of them. try removing the whitespace in that section, like so:

Code: Select all

debugger_command =
        PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
        xxgdb = $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
setgid_group = postdrop
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5-r2/readme
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
home_mailbox = .maildir/ 
and issue a "postfix reload"

Hope this helps.

SASL still isn't working :(
I'm afraid I can't use postfix without it...

Is the space-on-begin-is-comment rule also valid for the SASL files?

another strange thing:

Code: Select all

bigmac:~ boudewijn$ telnet <domain> 25
Trying <IP>...
Connected to <domain>.
Escape character is '^]'.
EHLO <domain>

This is the output of telnet from outside... it timed out after the EHLO.
I just tried to connect to another server (just the same setup):

Code: Select all

bigmac:~ boudewijn$ telnet vbds.nl 25
Trying 82.92.214.58...
Connected to vbds.nl.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.vbds.nl ESMTP Postfix
EHLO vbds.nl
250-mail.vbds.nl
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250 8BITMIME
Before having done anything in the telnet session, it gives a 220 code.... which the problematic setup does NOT do. (the working is gentoo, amd64 too and also using postfix).

OK, I think I found another problem in your main.cf file.

Code: Select all

smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
Try changing it to:

Code: Select all

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
                    permit_mynetworks,
                    permit_sasl_authenticated,
                    reject_unauth_destination
The "smtpd_recipient_restrictions" may not sound like what you want, but it is the last smtpd restriction test, and performs all previous stage checks (helo, client, sender, and recipient) and is required. Here's a table straight from SMTP_ACCESS_README:

Code: Select all

The table below summarizes the purpose of each SMTP access restriction list.
All lists use the exact same syntax; they differ only in the time of evaluation
and in the effect of a REJECT or DEFER result.


    |Restriction list name         |Status  |Effect of REJECT or DEFER result|
    |                              |        |                                |

    |smtpd_helo_restrictions       |Optional|Reject HELO/EHLO information    |
    |                              |        |                                |
    |smtpd_sender_restrictions     |Optional|Reject MAIL FROM information    |
    |                              |        |                                |
    |smtpd_recipient_restrictions  |Required|Reject RCPT TO information      |
    |                              |        |                                |

You were also missing "permit_mynetworks" I've changed the formating (added whitespace) just to make it easier to view the seperate options. Your format is correct as well.

I'd turn off SASL for now to test. The log you posted spits out:

Code: Select all

Jun 14 22:53:15 mail postfix/smtpd[12037]: fatal: SASL per-process initialization failed
Jun 14 22:53:16 mail postfix/master[12016]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 12037 exit status 1
Jun 14 22:53:16 mail postfix/master[12016]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling 
Just comment out all the SASL lines in your main.cf file. If you still get the "bad command startup -- throttling" after disabling SASL, then there is still an error in your main.cf and/or master.cf file.

In general, one should try to change only a few parameters at a time then test. If it works, change a few more and test again. Keep repeating until postfix is setup like you want. If you try to do it all in one take, its difficult to pinpoint the problem.

There are many excellent links to postfix howtos at www.postfix.org for different setups. You should take a look at a few. Personally I've mixed and matched many options from different howtos over the years.

okay.

At first: thanks for helping me! This is one of the best things about the Gentoo community.

Second:

I removed all the SASL stuff and fixed the smtpd_client_restrictions. It seems to work now... I get a '220' when telnetting.
Would you please have a look at the sasl stuff too? (I just did, and can not find the problem).

For Postfix:
Post your main.cf, master.cf, and error log.

SASL:
What program are you using for sasl? cyrus-sasl?
Post smtpd.conf and any other sasl config file you are using.

TLS/SSL:
Are you using TLS/SSL too?

How did you get to this current configuration? Did you use a guide? If so, which one?

Post the output of "emerge -pv postfix cyrus-sasl"

Post the output of "emerge --info" as well

Allright: I will use TLS or SSL in the future; it's a nice feature.
I'm using cyrus-sasl.

The guide: the one on gentoo-wiki.com (email system for the home network). I haven't used it before. My standard mail setup (about five boxes currently deployed... and stable as a rock) is from gentoo.org itself (the documentation\administration part).

saslauthd and smtpd.conf : please have a look at my start-posts. I don't mindd reposting them, although there might be people who are considering that being spam.

Installed versions:

Code: Select all

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-r2  
[ebuild   R   ] mail-mta/postfix-2.2.5  
Currently I'm not using any kind of SSL or TLS, the inbound mail is sent without SSL\TLS.
Outbound mail is done using mutt (just like the checking of my mailbox).

smtpd.conf:

Code: Select all

mail boudewijn # cat /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/mail-mta/postfix/files/smtp.sasl,v 1.2 2004/07/18 03:26:56 dragonheart Exp $
pwcheck_method:saslauthd
mech_list : plain login
mail boudewijn # cat /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf

hell.

I was just messing around a bit with mutt as user 'boudewijn' . Boudewijn is my unprivileged user on the box, and the mail for root is redirected to 'boudewijn' ( via an alias in /etc/mail/aliases).

There are about 12 new mails, all containing this (or some equivalent content):

I'm using cyrus-sasl.
Lets get sasl going first.

Thought so. No offense to the authors at gentoo-wiki, but I've found most of the articles there inaccurate, incomplete, and/or out of date. Docs at gentoo.org are usually much better, but also get outdated from time to time.

I don't see either "mydomain" or "myhostname". Thats a problem! Should be something like:

Code: Select all

mydomain = mydomain.nl
myhostname = mailserver.mydomain.nl
Also, you need to change your smtp_recipient_restrictions line to EXCLUDE "smtpd_use_tls = yes" That's not a restriction, its a parameter for TLS/SSL. Remember the whitespace line continuation I mentioned earlier? Jeetje!, Wat ben je aan doen? Graapje. Just kidding :) Also comment all the tls stuff for now. That section should appear like so:

Code: Select all

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
                    permit_mynetworks,
                    permit_sasl_authenticated,

Looks good. You didn't change anything in master.cf did you (except for the -v for logging)?

This looks good.

Apply the changes to main.cf and test again (postfix reload). I think the error messages you are getting:

Code: Select all

Out: 451 Server configuration error
might be related to not having mydomain or myhostname in your main.cf. Check you mail log (/var/log/mail.log) for more specific errors.

Also, did you "postmap /etc/mail/aliases" after you added the root alias? If so, you should have a /etc/mail/aliases.db file.

"postfix check" probably wouldn't hurt either.

EDIT: Forgot to mention something.... This is an excellent guide to Postfix/sasl/tls. Step by step instructions including explaination and testing as you go. Though it is geared toward Redhat, the configuration and testing info is much better than I could ever do here. Suggest you check it out.

okay:

The aliases stuff: I did a newaliases. According to "postfix" by O'Reilly this should be enough. I'll run your command in a few minutes (can't hurt i presume).

You're dutch too? (according to: jeetje wat ben je aan het doen? ;) )
Indeed, I've only changed the -v parameter....

About the wiki folks: most of the howto's does *not* work very well, I''m afraid. The gentoo.org stuff is really good indeed, but there's usually not enough (although in the virtual mail howto on gentoo.org, there are also some mistakes which I'll report soon).


edit:
Shouldn't mydomain and myhostname be extracted from hostname --fqdn if not specified otherwise?
I'll put hem in the config.

Also: mydestination is missing! This is a really valid reason for postfix to drop those emails, if I'm correct.

edit2: It IS in the config. I've been awake for too long :+

Nope, American. Lived in Tilburg for about 4 years and learned Dutch.

Check out the link I added to my last post. It should be very helpful.

Did it help? What about the "emerge -pv cyrus-sasl postfix" output? I'd still like to see the USE flags.

You may want to re-emerge postfix with -mysql if you're not going to use mysql with it.

okay I will, but is isn't necessary.

I was doubting whether I should deploy a DB based solution or not, and I chose for the 'simple' way. Just because it's about 5-10 adresses and 4 people all in the same domain.

my six sent mails are still queued on my own (working!) server.
boudewijn@my_domain is my mailadress.
I've removed the real IP for 'IP', and replaced the domain of the not correctly working server with 'domain2'.

After that I've fired up courier-imap, and fetched my mail from the boudewijn@domain2 mail-account. Authentication etc went fine.... the mail was downloaded correctly.

The mail-server has produced quite a lot of error mails, and forwarded them to my account. 6 mails at 18:03... 6 at 18:36.... 6 at 19:26.... 6 at 19:43.

etc.

edit:

postfix check returns no errors.
the .cf files are named correctly and 644... so postfix should be able to read these.

Did you fix the " smtpd_recipient_restrictions = " line like I suggested earlier? Doesn't look like it. Remember "Jeetje, wat ben ja ann het doen?" :wink:

smtpd_tls_loglevel = 3
smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
and it should be:

thanks a lot guys (if you were still living in the netherlands, i'd buy you a beer).


although the system is running, I'm still missing the TLS for SMTP features. And SASL too :(
Tonight (it's 11pm localtime) I'll try to get these features up and running too.

What's a smart strategy to debug it?

First of all, shitcan all the wiki stuff. lol, just kidding. I've got sasl and tls working. Here's my config files for SASL:

/etc/conf.d/saslauthd:

Code: Select all

# Config file for /etc/init.d/saslauthd

# Initial (empty) options.
SASLAUTHD_OPTS=""

# Specify the authentications mechanism.
# *NOTE* For list see: saslauthd -v
# From 2.1.19, add "-r" to options for old behavior
# ie. reassemble user and realm to user@realm form.
# SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a pam -r"
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a pam"

# Specify the hostname for remote IMAP server.
# *NOTE* Only needed if rimap auth mech is used.
#SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTHD_OPTS} -O localhost"

# Specify the number of worker processes to create.
#SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTHD_OPTS} -n 5"

# Enable credential cache, cache size, and timeout.

Nothing fancy, just the stock parameters included with gentoo's cyrus-sasl ebuild.

/etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf

Code: Select all

pwcheck_method:saslauthd
mech_list:plain login
I dont seem to need the other smtpd.conf that you have.

/etc/postfix/main.cf

Code: Select all

...

#####################
# SASL Authentication
#####################
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl2_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes

...
Don't forget you'll need saslauthd running and add it to the default runlevel. And of course, reload postfix after you update main.cf.

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
rc-update add saslauthd default
postfix reload
