| 134 Note that this has ONLY been tested on Linux, specifically RedHat Linux. | |
| 135 In particular, this milter makes no attempt to understand IPv6. Your | |

| 137 minimally thread safe STL implementation. The distribution includes a | |
| 138 test.cpp program. If it fails this milter won't work. If it passes, | |

| 167 Consider the case of a mail server that is acting as secondary MX for a | |
| 168 collection of clients, each of which has a collection of mail domains. | |
| 169 Each client may use their own collection of DNSBLs on their primary mail | |
| 170 server. We present here a mechanism whereby the backup mail server can | |
| 171 use the correct set of DNSBLs for each recipient for each message. As a | |
| 172 side-effect, it gives us the ability to customize the set of DNSBLs on a | |
| 183 | 173 per-recipient basis, so that fred@example.com could use LOCAL and the |
| 108 | 174 SBL, where all other users @example.com use only the SBL. |
| 175 </para> | |
| 176 <para> | |
| 177 This milter can also verify the envelope from/recipient pairs with the | |
| 178 primary MX server. This allows the backup mail servers to properly | |
| 179 reject mail sent to invalid addresses. Otherwise, the backup mail | |
| 180 servers will accept that mail, and then generate a bounce message when | |
| 181 the message is forwarded to the primary server (and rejected there with | |
| 127 | 182 no such user). These rejections are the primary cause of such backscatter. |
| 108 | 183 </para> |
| 184 <para> | |
| 185 This milter will also decode (uuencode, base64, mime, html entity, url | |
| 186 encodings) and scan for HTTP and HTTPS URLs and bare hostnames in the | |
| 187 body of the mail. If any of those host names have A or NS records on | |
| 188 the SBL (or a single configurable DNSBL), the mail will be rejected | |
| 189 unless previously whitelisted. This milter also counts the number of | |
| 190 invalid HTML tags, and can reject mail if that count exceeds your | |
| 191 specified limit. | |

| 162 | 203 Consider the case of a message from A to B passing thru this milter. If |
| 204 that message is not blocked, then we might eventually see a reply | |
| 156 | 205 message from B to A. If the filtering context for A includes an |
| 162 | 206 autowhite entry, and that context does <emphasis>not</emphasis> cover B |
| 207 as a recipient, then this milter will add an entry in that file to | |
| 208 whitelist such replies for a configurable time period. Suppose A and B | |
| 209 are in the same domain, or at least use the same filtering context. In | |
| 210 that case we don't want to add a whitelist entry for B, since that would | |
| 211 then allow spammers to send mail from B (forged) to B. Such autowhite | |
| 160 | 212 files need to be writeable by the dnsbl user, where all the other dnsbl |
| 213 configuration files only need to be readable by the dnsbl user. | |

| 108 | 224 The DNSBL milter reads a text configuration file (dnsbl.conf) on |
| 225 startup, and whenever the config file (or any of the referenced include | |
| 226 files) is changed. The entire configuration file is case insensitive. | |
| 227 If the configuration cannot be loaded due to a syntax error, the milter | |
| 228 will log the error and quit. If the configuration cannot be reloaded | |
| 229 after being modified, the milter will log the error and send an email to | |
| 152 | 230 root from dnsbl@$hostname. You probably want to add dnsbl@$hostname |
| 108 | 231 to your /etc/mail/virtusertable since otherwise sendmail will reject |
| 232 that message. | |

| 108 | 237 <title>DCC Issues</title> |
| 238 <para> | |
| 239 If you are also using the <ulink | |
| 240 url="http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/">DCC</ulink> milter, there | |
| 241 are a few considerations. You may need to whitelist senders from the | |
| 242 DCC bulk detector, or from the DNS based lists. Those are two very | |
| 243 different reasons for whitelisting. The former is done thru the DCC | |
| 244 whiteclnt config file, the later is done thru the DNSBL milter config | |
| 245 file. | |
| 246 </para> | |
| 247 <para> | |
| 248 You may want to blacklist some specific senders or sending domains. | |
| 249 This could be done thru either the DCC (on a global basis, or for a | |
| 250 specific single recipient). We prefer to do such blacklisting via the | |
| 251 DNSBL milter config, since it can be done for a collection of recipient | |
| 252 mail domains. The DCC approach has the feature that you can capture the | |
| 253 entire message in the DCC log files. The DNSBL milter approach has the | |
| 254 feature that the mail is rejected earlier (at RCPT TO time), and the | |
| 255 sending machine just gets a generic "550 5.7.1 no such user" message. | |
| 256 </para> | |
| 257 <para> | |
| 258 The DCC whiteclnt file can be included in the DNSBL milter config by the | |
| 259 dcc_to and dcc_from statements. This will import the (env_to, env_from, | |
| 260 and substitute mail_host) entries from the DCC config into the DNSBL | |
| 261 config. This allows using the DCC config as the single point for | |
| 262 white/blacklisting. | |
| 263 </para> | |
| 264 <para> | |
| 265 Consider the case where you have multiple clients, each with their own | |
| 266 mail servers, and each running their own DCC milters. Each client is | |
| 267 using the DCC facilities for envelope from/to white/blacklisting. | |
| 268 Presumably you can use rsync or scp to fetch copies of your clients DCC | |
| 269 whiteclnt files on a regular basis. Your mail server, acting as a | |
| 270 backup MX for your clients, can use the DNSBL milter, and include those | |
| 271 client DCC config files. The envelope from/to white/blacklisting will | |
| 272 be appropriately tagged and used only for the domains controlled by each | |
| 273 of those clients. | |
| 274 </para> | |
| 179 | 275 <para> |
| 276 You can now use (via dccifd) different dcc filtering parameters on a per | |
| 277 context basis. See the dcc_greylist and dcc_bulk_threshold statements | |
| 278 in the <citerefentry> <refentrytitle>@PACKAGE@.conf</refentrytitle> | |
| 279 <manvolnum>5</manvolnum> </citerefentry> configuration. Those | |
| 280 statements are only active if you supply the <option>-b</option> option | |
| 281 on the dnsbl command line. If you use the dcc via the standard dcc | |
| 282 milter (dccm), then connections from clients that use SMTP AUTH are | |
| 283 still subject to greylisting. If you use the dcc via dccifd and this | |
| 284 milter, then connections from clients that use SMTP AUTH are never | |
| 180 | 285 subject to greylisting. As part of this per-user greylisting, you need |
| 286 to move the dnsblnogrey file from the config directory to something | |
| 287 like /var/dcc/userdirs/local/dnsblnogrey/whiteclnt so the dccifd will | |
| 288 properly ignore greylisting for those recipients that don't want it. | |

| 152 | 326 The SMTP envelope 'from' and 'to' values are used in various checks. |
| 327 The first check is to see if a reply message (swapping the env_from and | |
| 160 | 328 env_to values) would be unconditionally blocked (just based on the |
| 329 envelope from address). That check is similar to the main check | |
| 330 described below, but there is no body content to be scanned, and there | |
| 331 is no client connection ip address to be checked against DNSBLs. If | |
| 332 such a reply message would be blocked, we also block the original | |

| 530 Consider a high volume high performance machine running sendmail. Each | |
| 531 sendmail process can do its own dns resolution. Typically, such dns | |
| 532 resolver libraries are not thread safe, and so must be protected by some | |
| 533 sort of mutex in a threaded environment. When we add a milter to | |
| 534 sendmail, we now have a collection of sendmail processes, and a | |
| 535 collection of milter threads. | |
| 536 </para> | |
| 537 <para> | |
| 538 We will be doing a lot of dns lookups per mail message, and at least | |
| 539 some of those will take many tens of seconds. If all this dns work is | |
| 540 serialized inside the milter, we have an upper limit of about 25K mail | |
| 541 messages per day. That is clearly not sufficient for many sites. | |
| 542 </para> | |
| 543 <para> | |
| 544 Since we want to do parallel dns resolution across those milter threads, | |
| 545 we add another collection of dns resolver processes. Each sendmail | |
| 546 process is talking to a milter thread over a socket, and each milter | |
| 547 thread is talking to a dns resolver process over another socket. | |

| 550 Suppose we are processing 20 messages per second, and each message | |
| 551 requires 20 seconds of dns work. Then we will have 400 sendmail | |
| 552 processes, 400 milter threads, and 400 dns resolver processes. Of | |
| 553 course that steady state is very unlikely to happen. | |

| 111 | 564 Add max_recipients setting to the context configuration. Recipients in |

| 574 addresses that would be suitable for such use. Based on my log files, | |
| 575 any mail to those spam trap addresses is rejected based on either dnsbl | |
