sendmail & Verizon
by Kevin Cummings 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Sorry, just re-subscripbed after a long absence. Not sure if my original went through, so I'm resending. Sorry if it is a duplicate, I wouldn't have seen any of the early responses.... Once upon a time, I was using a standard, out of the box, sendmail configuration to send email directly from my computer to any other on the internet. Nice. Then, while RCN was my ISP, RCN decided that home users couldn't send email (something about stopping SPAM) directly to the internat, and all email had to be forwarded through RCN's email servers. Fine, I added: > define(`SMART_HOST',`relay:[smtp.rcn.com]')dnl to my sendmail.mc file. Then, later, I switched to Verizon from RCN. I not only had to change the SMART_HOST line to: > define(`SMART_HOST',`relay:[outgoing.verizon.net]')dnl > define(`RELAY_MAILER',`smtps')dnl > define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587')dnl but I also had to set up /etc/mail/authinfo and add support for it to sendmail.mc: > FEATURE(`authinfo', `hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo.db')dnl and my /etc/mail/authinfo file looks like: > AuthInfo:outgoing.verizon.net "I:userId" "P:password" "M:PLAIN" And everything works fine. NOW: Verizon wants to: 1) change the outgoing server name to smtp.verizon.net 2) change the port from 587 (MSA) to 465 (SMTPS), and 3) require SSL for communication. Sure, I can change my iPhone settings, and each Thunderbird instance in the house (and it works), but I want to keep the home network using *my* sendmail server for email, and have *IT* forward to Verizon. (Besides, I have a few scripts that want to send a few housekeeping emails without invoking Thunderbird.) I tried the obvious changes, but I think I'm missing something: > define(`SMART_HOST',`relay:[smtp.verizon.net]')dnl > define(`RELAY_MAILER',`smtps')dnl > define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 465')dnl > AuthInfo:smtp.verizon.net "I:userId" "P:password" "M:PLAIN" This configuration results in "Communication Timed Out with smtp.verizon.net" or "read error from smtp.verizon.net", and mail justs sits in my local mqueue waiting to be delivered. Can some sendmail guru please point out what I've missed? Please keep the "switch to another MTA" to yourself. I've been using sendmail at home since 1996! THANKS! -- Kevin J.

Issue creating systemd service files

We are attempting to create systemd files for an ssh port monitoring process. When we enable and attempt to start the service we get multiple executions of the daemon and systemctl does not return until we do a control-c. The init script and our attempt at replacement: #!/bin/bash # # chkconfig: - 56 24 # # sshdfilter Start up the SSH server daemon filter # # description: filter for SSH port connections to give more control # over who can log in and if probed add firewall rules # to block probing sites. # # processname: sshdfilter # config: /etc/sshdfilterrc # pidfile: /var/run/sshdfilter.pid # pipe: /var/run/sshdfilter.fifo ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: sshdfilter # Required-Start: $local_fs $network $rsyslog # Required-Stop: $local_fs $rsyslog # Should-Start: $rsyslog # Should-Stop: $network $rsyslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Start up the SSH filter server daemon # Description: SSH is a protocol for secure remote shell access. # This service starts up the SSH filter server daemon. ### END INIT INFO # source function library . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # pull in sysconfig settings [ -f /etc/sysconfig/sshdfilter ] && . /etc/sysconfig/sshdfilter # make fifo if it does not exist [ -p /var/run/sshdfilter.fifo ] || mkfifo /var/run/sshdfilter.fifo RETVAL=0 prog="sshdfilter" lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/$prog # Some functions to make the below more readable SSHDF=/usr/sbin/sshdfilter PID_FILE=/var/run/sshdfilter.SSHD.pid runlevel=$(set -- $(runlevel); eval "echo \$$#" ) start() { [ -x $SSHDF ] || exit 5 [ -f /etc/sshdfilterrc ] || exit 6 echo -n $"Starting $prog: " $SSHDF $OPTIONS && success || failure RETVAL=$?

Fedora 18 network freeze after a while...
by Georgios Petasis 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi all, I am facing a very strange problem after upgrading to fedora 18: while the system works ok (I use the machine through vnc), after some time (which can range from 30 minutes to a few hours) all network interaction rapidly deteriorates, until network is no more useful (i.e. I cannot even ssh to the machine). How can I find out why this is happening? I didn't had any problems with fedora 17, and I have tested the RAM, which showed no errors. Regards, George
