| 140 Note that this has ONLY been tested on Linux, specifically RedHat Linux. | |
| 141 In particular, this milter makes no attempt to understand IPv6. Your | |
| 142 mileage will vary. You will need at a minimum a C++ compiler with a | |
| 143 minimally thread safe STL implementation. The distribution includes a | |
| 144 test.cpp program. If it fails this milter won't work. If it passes, | |
| 145 this milter might work. | |

| 173 Consider the case of a mail server that is acting as secondary MX for a | |
| 174 collection of clients, each of which has a collection of mail domains. | |
| 175 Each client may use their own collection of DNSBLs on their primary mail | |
| 176 server. We present here a mechanism whereby the backup mail server can | |
| 177 use the correct set of DNSBLs for each recipient for each message. As a | |
| 178 side-effect, it gives us the ability to customize the set of DNSBLs on a | |
| 183 | 179 per-recipient basis, so that fred@example.com could use LOCAL and the |
| 108 | 180 SBL, where all other users @example.com use only the SBL. |
| 181 </para> | |
| 182 <para> | |
| 183 This milter can also verify the envelope from/recipient pairs with the | |
| 184 primary MX server. This allows the backup mail servers to properly | |
| 185 reject mail sent to invalid addresses. Otherwise, the backup mail | |
| 186 servers will accept that mail, and then generate a bounce message when | |
| 187 the message is forwarded to the primary server (and rejected there with | |
| 127 | 188 no such user). These rejections are the primary cause of such backscatter. |
| 108 | 189 </para> |
| 190 <para> | |
| 191 This milter will also decode (uuencode, base64, mime, html entity, url | |
| 192 encodings) and scan for HTTP and HTTPS URLs and bare hostnames in the | |
| 193 body of the mail. If any of those host names have A or NS records on | |
| 194 the SBL (or a single configurable DNSBL), the mail will be rejected | |
| 195 unless previously whitelisted. This milter also counts the number of | |
| 196 invalid HTML tags, and can reject mail if that count exceeds your | |
| 197 specified limit. | |

| 162 | 216 Consider the case of a message from A to B passing thru this milter. If |
| 217 that message is not blocked, then we might eventually see a reply | |
| 156 | 218 message from B to A. If the filtering context for A includes an |
| 162 | 219 autowhite entry, and that context does <emphasis>not</emphasis> cover B |
| 220 as a recipient, then this milter will add an entry in that file to | |
| 221 whitelist such replies for a configurable time period. Suppose A and B | |
| 222 are in the same domain, or at least use the same filtering context. In | |
| 223 that case we don't want to add a whitelist entry for B, since that would | |
| 224 then allow spammers to send mail from B (forged) to B. Such autowhite | |
| 160 | 225 files need to be writeable by the dnsbl user, where all the other dnsbl |
| 226 configuration files only need to be readable by the dnsbl user. | |

| 108 | 237 The DNSBL milter reads a text configuration file (dnsbl.conf) on |
| 238 startup, and whenever the config file (or any of the referenced include | |
| 239 files) is changed. The entire configuration file is case insensitive. | |
| 240 If the configuration cannot be loaded due to a syntax error, the milter | |
| 241 will log the error and quit. If the configuration cannot be reloaded | |
| 242 after being modified, the milter will log the error and send an email to | |
| 152 | 243 root from dnsbl@$hostname. You probably want to add dnsbl@$hostname |
| 108 | 244 to your /etc/mail/virtusertable since otherwise sendmail will reject |
| 245 that message. | |

| 252 If you are also using the <ulink | |
| 253 url="http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/">DCC</ulink> milter, there | |
| 254 are a few considerations. You may need to whitelist senders from the | |
| 255 DCC bulk detector, or from the DNS based lists. Those are two very | |
| 256 different reasons for whitelisting. The former is done thru the DCC | |
| 257 whiteclnt config file, the later is done thru the DNSBL milter config | |
| 258 file. | |
| 259 </para> | |
| 260 <para> | |
| 261 You may want to blacklist some specific senders or sending domains. | |
| 262 This could be done thru either the DCC (on a global basis, or for a | |
| 263 specific single recipient). We prefer to do such blacklisting via the | |
| 264 DNSBL milter config, since it can be done for a collection of recipient | |
| 265 mail domains. The DCC approach has the feature that you can capture the | |
| 266 entire message in the DCC log files. The DNSBL milter approach has the | |
| 267 feature that the mail is rejected earlier (at RCPT TO time), and the | |
| 268 sending machine just gets a generic "550 5.7.1 no such user" message. | |

| 270 <para> | |
| 271 The DCC whiteclnt file can be included in the DNSBL milter config by the | |
| 272 dcc_to and dcc_from statements. This will import the (env_to, env_from, | |
| 273 and substitute mail_host) entries from the DCC config into the DNSBL | |
| 274 config. This allows using the DCC config as the single point for | |
| 275 white/blacklisting. | |
| 276 </para> | |
| 277 <para> | |
| 278 Consider the case where you have multiple clients, each with their own | |
| 279 mail servers, and each running their own DCC milters. Each client is | |
| 280 using the DCC facilities for envelope from/to white/blacklisting. | |
| 281 Presumably you can use rsync or scp to fetch copies of your clients DCC | |
| 282 whiteclnt files on a regular basis. Your mail server, acting as a | |
| 283 backup MX for your clients, can use the DNSBL milter, and include those | |
| 284 client DCC config files. The envelope from/to white/blacklisting will | |
| 285 be appropriately tagged and used only for the domains controlled by each | |
| 286 of those clients. | |
| 287 </para> | |
| 179 | 288 <para> |
| 289 You can now use (via dccifd) different dcc filtering parameters on a per | |
| 290 context basis. See the dcc_greylist and dcc_bulk_threshold statements | |
| 291 in the <citerefentry> <refentrytitle>@PACKAGE@.conf</refentrytitle> | |
| 292 <manvolnum>5</manvolnum> </citerefentry> configuration. Those | |
| 293 statements are only active if you supply the <option>-b</option> option | |
| 294 on the dnsbl command line. If you use the dcc via the standard dcc | |
| 295 milter (dccm), then connections from clients that use SMTP AUTH are | |
| 296 still subject to greylisting. If you use the dcc via dccifd and this | |
| 297 milter, then connections from clients that use SMTP AUTH are never | |
| 180 | 298 subject to greylisting. As part of this per-user greylisting, you need |
| 299 to move the dnsblnogrey file from the config directory to something | |
| 300 like /var/dcc/userdirs/local/dnsblnogrey/whiteclnt so the dccifd will | |
| 301 properly ignore greylisting for those recipients that don't want it. | |

| 340 The first check is to see if a reply message (swapping the env_from and | |
| 160 | 341 env_to values) would be unconditionally blocked (just based on the |
| 342 envelope from address). That check is similar to the main check | |
| 343 described below, but there is no body content to be scanned, and there | |
| 344 is no client connection ip address to be checked against DNSBLs. If | |
| 345 such a reply message would be blocked, we also block the original | |
| 346 outgoing message. This prevents folks from sending mail to recipients | |
| 347 that are unable to reply. | |

| 108 | 537 <title>Sendmail access vs. DNSBL</title> |
| 538 <para> | |
| 539 With the standard sendmail.mc dnsbl FEATURE, the dnsbl checks may be | |
| 540 suppressed by entries in the /etc/mail/access database. For example, | |
| 541 suppose you control a /18 of address space, and have allocated some /24s | |
| 542 to some clients. You have access entries like | |
| 111 | 543 <literallayout class="monospaced"><![CDATA[ |
| 544 192.168.4 OK | |
| 545 192.168.17 OK]]></literallayout> | |
| 108 | 546 </para> |
| 547 <para> | |
| 548 to allow those clients to smarthost thru your mail server. Now if one | |
| 549 of those clients happens get infected with a virus that turns a machine | |
| 550 into an open proxy, and their 192.168.4.45 lands on the SBL-XBL, you | |
| 551 will still wind up allowing that infected machine to smarthost thru your | |
| 552 mail servers. | |
| 553 </para> | |
| 554 <para> | |
| 555 With this DNSBL milter, the sendmail access database cannot override the | |
| 556 dnsbl checks, so that machine won't be able to send mail to or thru your | |
| 557 smarthost mail server (unless the virus/proxy can use smtp-auth). | |
| 558 </para> | |
| 559 <para> | |
| 560 Using the standard sendmail features, you would add access entries to | |
| 561 allow hosts on your local network to relay thru your mail server. Those | |
| 562 OK entries in the sendmail access database will override all the dnsbl | |
| 563 checks. With this DNSBL milter, you will need to have the local users | |
| 564 authenticate with smtp-auth to get the same effect. You might find | |
| 565 <ulink | |
| 566 url="http://www.ists.dartmouth.edu/classroom/sendmail-ssl-how-to.php"> | |

| 108 | 573 <title>Performance Issues</title> |
| 574 <para> | |
| 575 Consider a high volume high performance machine running sendmail. Each | |
| 576 sendmail process can do its own dns resolution. Typically, such dns | |
| 577 resolver libraries are not thread safe, and so must be protected by some | |
| 578 sort of mutex in a threaded environment. When we add a milter to | |
| 579 sendmail, we now have a collection of sendmail processes, and a | |
| 580 collection of milter threads. | |
| 581 </para> | |
| 582 <para> | |
| 583 We will be doing a lot of dns lookups per mail message, and at least | |
| 584 some of those will take many tens of seconds. If all this dns work is | |
| 585 serialized inside the milter, we have an upper limit of about 25K mail | |
| 586 messages per day. That is clearly not sufficient for many sites. | |
| 587 </para> | |
| 588 <para> | |
| 589 Since we want to do parallel dns resolution across those milter threads, | |
| 590 we add another collection of dns resolver processes. Each sendmail | |
| 591 process is talking to a milter thread over a socket, and each milter | |
| 592 thread is talking to a dns resolver process over another socket. | |
| 593 </para> | |
| 594 <para> | |
| 595 Suppose we are processing 20 messages per second, and each message | |
| 596 requires 20 seconds of dns work. Then we will have 400 sendmail | |
| 597 processes, 400 milter threads, and 400 dns resolver processes. Of | |
| 598 course that steady state is very unlikely to happen. | |

| 606 The following ideas have been considered and rejected. | |
| 607 </para> | |
| 608 <para> | |
| 111 | 609 Add max_recipients setting to the context configuration. Recipients in |
| 610 excess of that limit will be rejected, and all the non-whitelisted | |
| 611 recipients will be removed. Current spammers *very* rarely send more | |
| 612 than ten recipients in a single smtp transaction, so this won't stop any | |
| 108 | 613 significant amount of spam. |
| 614 </para> | |
| 615 <para> | |
| 616 Add poison addresses to the configuration. If any recipient is | |
| 617 poison, all recipients are rejected even if they would be whitelisted, | |
| 618 and the data is rejected if sent. I have a collection of spam trap | |
| 619 addresses that would be suitable for such use. Based on my log files, | |
| 620 any mail to those spam trap addresses is rejected based on either dnsbl | |
| 621 lookups or the DCC. So this won't result in blocking any additional | |
| 622 spam. | |
| 623 </para> | |
| 624 <para> | |
| 625 Add an option to only allow one recipient if the return path is | |
| 626 empty. Based on my log files, there is no mail that violates this | |
| 627 check. | |
| 628 </para> | |
| 629 <para> | |
| 630 Reject the mail if the envelope from domain name contains any MX | |
| 631 records pointing to 127.0.0.0/8. I don't see any significant amount of | |
| 632 spam sent with such domain names. | |
