combining 'Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix' and 'Domainkeys In Postfix'

    I successfully followed the tutorial to set up postfix (among other things!) at http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-centos5.1

    Then I tried to setup domainkeys following the tutorial at http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-implement-domainkeys-in-postfix-using-dk-milter-centos5.1

    The first extremely minor problem I had is that the tutorial is missing an s in the "install private key" section. Should be "/etc/mail/domainkeys/dk_<domainname>.pem" in 2 places I think.

    The next problem I seem to have had is that the owner permissions on the .pem file seem to need to be changed from root:root. I tried running 'service dk-milter start' and got a permission error. So I changed the permissions to dk-milt:mail and I also tried dk-milt:dk-milt. Changing the permissions allowed the dk-milter service to start successfully at which point an empty file at /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock is created with permissions dk-milt:mail.

    However, the /var/log/maillog shows the following when it tries to send an email.

    Code:
    Feb 14 03:23:34 postfix/smtpd[5757]: warning: connect to Milter service unix:/var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock: No such file or directory
    Feb 14 03:23:34 postfix/smtpd[5757]: NOQUEUE: milter-reject: CONNECT from unknown[127.0.0.1]: 451 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; proto=SMTP
    Feb 14 03:23:34 postfix/smtpd[5757]: NOQUEUE: milter-reject: EHLO from unknown[127.0.0.1]: 451 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; proto=SMTP
    Feb 14 03:23:34 postfix/smtpd[5757]: NOQUEUE: milter-reject: MAIL from unknown[127.0.0.1]: 451 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost>
    This results in the email not getting sent out.

    Anybody have any ideas?

    I have fixed the typo on the key path, as well as the ownership of of the key.

    Please post the output of
    Code:
    ls -l /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock
    
    Did you try restarting postfix after you made the permission changes because it should work if the socket is writeable by group mail which should be what postfix is running under.

    Code:
    # ls -l /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock
    srwxrwx--- 1 dk-milt mail 0 Feb 14 02:06 /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock
    I restarted both the dk-milter and postfix services. My /etc/group file seems to indicate that postfix is part of the mail group.

    Should the tutorial also mention starting the dk-milter service?

    Are you by any chance running with selinux enabled as that may prevent postfix from connecting to the socket, i have retested the same setup and it its working.

    I will add the start dk-milter part to the howto.

    selinux is disabled. :confused:

    The rpm installs
    Code:
    /var/run/dk-milter
    drwxrwx--- 2 dk-milt   mail    4096 Feb 11 14:32 dk-milter
    
    May be you have a umask that has stripped the permissions on the directory to remove the group permissions just check that for now, i cannot see anything else.

    Code:
    ls -la /var/run/dk-milter/
    total 12
    drwxrwx---  2 dk-milt mail 4096 Feb 14 03:22 .
    drwxr-xr-x 27 root    root 4096 Feb 14 02:51 ..
    srwxrwx---  1 dk-milt mail    0 Feb 14 03:22 dk.sock

    Thats very strange, i cannot put my finger on what your problem could be, unless the milter died and just left the socket there is the can you see that the milter process is still running ?
     
  9. wherestheph

    wherestheph New Member

    I believe the milter process is running.

    Code:
    # ps -AF | grep dk-filter
    dk-milt   3887     1  0  3864   860   1 12:09 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dk-filter -u dk-milt -p local:/var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock -d ****.com -s /etc/mail/domainkeys/dk_****.com.pem -S default -b sv -c simple -C bad=r,dns=t,int=t,no=a,miss=r -h -l -D -P /var/run/dk-filter0.pid
    
    Also, these commands didn't work, although I'm not sure that they should:

    Code:
    # ls -la /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock 
    srwxrwx--- 1 dk-milt mail 0 Feb 14 12:09 /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock
    # sudo -u dk-milt more /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock 
    /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock: No such device or address
    # sudo -u postfix more /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock 
    /var/run/dk-milter/dk.sock: No such device or address
    This is from my /etc/group file:

    Code:
    mail:x:12:mail,postfix
    For Selinux, I disabled it in system-config-securitylevel and rebooted the box.

    Okay since the unix sockets are not working for you try TCP sockets instead
    Code:
    #/etc/sysconfig/dk-milter
    PORT="inet:10034@localhost"
    
    Code:
    #/etc/postfix/main.cf
    smtpd_milters = inet:10034@localhost
    non_smtpd_milters = inet:10034@localhost

    When I start the dk-milter service to use TCP, I get the following message which I believe to be harmless:

    Code:
    chgrp: cannot access `inet:10034@localhost': No such file or directory
    chmod: cannot access `inet:10034@localhost': No such file or directory
    However, when I try to send an email with 'postfix flush', I get the following in /var/log/maillog:

    Code:
    Feb 14 13:40:09 postfix/smtpd[9214]: connect from unknown[127.0.0.1]
    Feb 14 19:40:09 postfix/smtpd[9214]: fatal: 10034@localhost: garbage after numerical service
    Feb 14 13:40:10 postfix/master[9202]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 9214 exit status 1
    Feb 14 13:40:10 postfix/master[9202]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
    
    So in /etc/postfix/main.cf, I changed "inet:10034@localhost" to "inet:127.0.01:10034" but then I get the following errors in /var/maillog:

    Code:
    Feb 14 13:46:42 postfix/smtpd[9483]: connect from unknown[127.0.0.1]
    Feb 14 19:46:42 postfix/smtpd[9483]: 2673915880ED: client=unknown[127.0.0.1]

    Does the default.public file need to moved somewhere with a particular name?

    Ignore the first error, or comment out the chmod commands out of the init file.

    The public key needs to be stored in dns, it is the private key that that needs to be moved to /etc/mail/domainkeys/dk_$domain_name.pem. I am guessing that you have switched something around given the SSL errors am seeing.

    For the sake of simplicity just call the private key /etc/mail/domainkeys/dk_key.pem and edit your /etc/sysconfig/dk-milter to reflect that, then make sure that you have the public key in dns and verify using the policycheck tool.

    For future newbs, I was getting the public key error because I had it set incorrectly in the dns txt record because of the multiple times I generated the keys.

    The autoresponse from dk.elandsys.com says in the topmost Recieved header "(may be forged)". Is this something to worry about? Can I make it so that doesn't appear?

    Code:
    Received: from mymachine.mydomain.com (mydomain.com [75.126.130.115] (may be forged))
    	by ns1.qubic.net (8.14.2/8.14.2) with ESMTP id m1NK1jt9015657

    That is usually if your ip address's reverse mapping does not match with the name the server is sending in the helo.

    Here is the maillog when I'm using the TCP settings:

    Can you post the milter part of your postfix configuration ?
