114 Note that this has ONLY been tested on Linux, specifically RedHat Linux. | |
115 In particular, this milter makes no attempt to understand IPv6. Your | |
116 mileage will vary. You will need at a minimum a C++ compiler with a | |
117 minimally thread safe STL implementation. The distribution includes a | |
118 test.cpp program. If it fails this milter won't work. If it passes, | |
119 this milter might work. | |

145 <title>Introduction</title> | |
146 <para> | |
147 Consider the case of a mail server that is acting as secondary MX for a | |
148 collection of clients, each of which has a collection of mail domains. | |
149 Each client may use their own collection of DNSBLs on their primary mail | |
150 server. We present here a mechanism whereby the backup mail server can | |
151 use the correct set of DNSBLs for each recipient for each message. As a | |
152 side-effect, it gives us the ability to customize the set of DNSBLs on a | |
153 per-recipient basis, so that fred@example.com could use SPEWS and the | |
154 SBL, where all other users @example.com use only the SBL. | |
155 </para> | |
156 <para> | |
157 This milter can also verify the envelope from/recipient pairs with the | |
158 primary MX server. This allows the backup mail servers to properly | |
159 reject mail sent to invalid addresses. Otherwise, the backup mail | |
160 servers will accept that mail, and then generate a bounce message when | |
161 the message is forwarded to the primary server (and rejected there with | |
127 | 162 no such user). These rejections are the primary cause of such backscatter. |
108 | 163 </para> |
164 <para> | |
165 This milter will also decode (uuencode, base64, mime, html entity, url | |
166 encodings) and scan for HTTP and HTTPS URLs and bare hostnames in the | |
167 body of the mail. If any of those host names have A or NS records on | |
168 the SBL (or a single configurable DNSBL), the mail will be rejected | |
169 unless previously whitelisted. This milter also counts the number of | |
170 invalid HTML tags, and can reject mail if that count exceeds your | |
171 specified limit. | |
172 </para> | |
173 <para> | |
174 The DNSBL milter reads a text configuration file (dnsbl.conf) on | |
175 startup, and whenever the config file (or any of the referenced include | |
176 files) is changed. The entire configuration file is case insensitive. | |
177 If the configuration cannot be loaded due to a syntax error, the milter | |
178 will log the error and quit. If the configuration cannot be reloaded | |
179 after being modified, the milter will log the error and send an email to | |
180 root from dnsbl@$hostname. You probably want to added dnsbl@$hostname | |
181 to your /etc/mail/virtusertable since otherwise sendmail will reject | |
182 that message. | |
183 </para> | |

108 | 187 <title>DCC Issues</title> |
188 <para> | |
189 If you are also using the <ulink | |
190 url="http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/">DCC</ulink> milter, there | |
191 are a few considerations. You may need to whitelist senders from the | |
192 DCC bulk detector, or from the DNS based lists. Those are two very | |
193 different reasons for whitelisting. The former is done thru the DCC | |
194 whiteclnt config file, the later is done thru the DNSBL milter config | |
195 file. | |
196 </para> | |
197 <para> | |
198 You may want to blacklist some specific senders or sending domains. | |
199 This could be done thru either the DCC (on a global basis, or for a | |
200 specific single recipient). We prefer to do such blacklisting via the | |
201 DNSBL milter config, since it can be done for a collection of recipient | |
202 mail domains. The DCC approach has the feature that you can capture the | |
203 entire message in the DCC log files. The DNSBL milter approach has the | |
204 feature that the mail is rejected earlier (at RCPT TO time), and the | |
205 sending machine just gets a generic "550 5.7.1 no such user" message. | |
206 </para> | |
207 <para> | |
208 The DCC whiteclnt file can be included in the DNSBL milter config by the | |
209 dcc_to and dcc_from statements. This will import the (env_to, env_from, | |
210 and substitute mail_host) entries from the DCC config into the DNSBL | |
211 config. This allows using the DCC config as the single point for | |
212 white/blacklisting. | |
213 </para> | |
214 <para> | |
215 Consider the case where you have multiple clients, each with their own | |
216 mail servers, and each running their own DCC milters. Each client is | |
217 using the DCC facilities for envelope from/to white/blacklisting. | |
218 Presumably you can use rsync or scp to fetch copies of your clients DCC | |
219 whiteclnt files on a regular basis. Your mail server, acting as a | |
220 backup MX for your clients, can use the DNSBL milter, and include those | |
221 client DCC config files. The envelope from/to white/blacklisting will | |
222 be appropriately tagged and used only for the domains controlled by each | |
223 of those clients. | |

108 | 257 The envelope to email address is used to find an initial filtering |

259 address in the env_to statement. If that is not found, we look for a | |
260 context that specified the entire domain name of the envelope recipient | |
261 in the env_to statement. If that is not found, we look for a context | |
262 that specified the user@ part of the envelope recipient in the env_to | |

307 envelope to address. If we find such a verification context, and the | |
308 verification host is not our own hostname, we open an smtp conversation | |
309 with that verification host. The current envelope from and recipient to | |
310 values are passed to that verification host. If we receive a 5xy | |

322 If content filtering is enabled for this body, the mail text is decoded | |

108 | 347 <title>Sendmail access vs. DNSBL</title> |
348 <para> | |
349 With the standard sendmail.mc dnsbl FEATURE, the dnsbl checks may be | |
350 suppressed by entries in the /etc/mail/access database. For example, | |
351 suppose you control a /18 of address space, and have allocated some /24s | |
352 to some clients. You have access entries like | |
111 | 353 <literallayout class="monospaced"><![CDATA[ |
354 192.168.4 OK | |
355 192.168.17 OK]]></literallayout> | |
108 | 356 </para> |
357 <para> | |
358 to allow those clients to smarthost thru your mail server. Now if one | |
359 of those clients happens get infected with a virus that turns a machine | |
360 into an open proxy, and their 192.168.4.45 lands on the SBL-XBL, you | |
361 will still wind up allowing that infected machine to smarthost thru your | |
362 mail servers. | |
363 </para> | |
364 <para> | |
365 With this DNSBL milter, the sendmail access database cannot override the | |
366 dnsbl checks, so that machine won't be able to send mail to or thru your | |
367 smarthost mail server (unless the virus/proxy can use smtp-auth). | |
368 </para> | |
369 <para> | |
370 Using the standard sendmail features, you would add access entries to | |
371 allow hosts on your local network to relay thru your mail server. Those | |
372 OK entries in the sendmail access database will override all the dnsbl | |
373 checks. With this DNSBL milter, you will need to have the local users | |
374 authenticate with smtp-auth to get the same effect. You might find | |

108 | 383 <title>Performance Issues</title> |
384 <para> | |
385 Consider a high volume high performance machine running sendmail. Each | |
386 sendmail process can do its own dns resolution. Typically, such dns | |
387 resolver libraries are not thread safe, and so must be protected by some | |
388 sort of mutex in a threaded environment. When we add a milter to | |
389 sendmail, we now have a collection of sendmail processes, and a | |
390 collection of milter threads. | |
391 </para> | |
392 <para> | |
393 We will be doing a lot of dns lookups per mail message, and at least | |
394 some of those will take many tens of seconds. If all this dns work is | |
395 serialized inside the milter, we have an upper limit of about 25K mail | |
396 messages per day. That is clearly not sufficient for many sites. | |
397 </para> | |
398 <para> | |
399 Since we want to do parallel dns resolution across those milter threads, | |
400 we add another collection of dns resolver processes. Each sendmail | |
401 process is talking to a milter thread over a socket, and each milter | |
402 thread is talking to a dns resolver process over another socket. | |
403 </para> | |
404 <para> | |
405 Suppose we are processing 20 messages per second, and each message | |
406 requires 20 seconds of dns work. Then we will have 400 sendmail | |
407 processes, 400 milter threads, and 400 dns resolver processes. Of | |
408 course that steady state is very unlikely to happen. | |

426 Add poison addresses to the configuration. If any recipient is | |
427 poison, all recipients are rejected even if they would be whitelisted, | |
428 and the data is rejected if sent. I have a collection of spam trap | |
429 addresses that would be suitable for such use. Based on my log files, | |
430 any mail to those spam trap addresses is rejected based on either dnsbl | |
431 lookups or the DCC. So this won't result in blocking any additional | |
432 spam. | |

435 Add an option to only allow one recipient if the return path is | |
436 empty. Based on my log files, there is no mail that violates this | |
437 check. | |

451 <para> | |
127 | 452 Add mail volume limits based on smtp auth accounts, to prevent |
453 customers from sending too much mail. This should catch customers | |
454 that get infected with malware that knows about smtp auth. | |

458 the reverse dns client name exceeds some threshold. | |

461 Look for href="hostname/path" strings that are missing the required | |
462 http:// protocol header. Such references are still clickable in common | |
