Hello , if anyone has insight into this dilemma, would be appriciated. Have ispconfig 3 on centos 6.5 vps, wordpress site installed from APS installer. Forgot pass word emails, php mail() emails are sitting in the mail queue. netstat -tap has these kinds of entries for smtp tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 7456/pure-ftpd (SER tcp 0 0 *:domain *:* LISTEN 24186/named tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 938/sshd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 10871/master tcp 0 0 localhost:rndc *:* LISTEN 24186/named tcp 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 2661/httpd tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54677 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54644 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54841 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54850 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54740 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54804 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54776 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54813 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 localhost:smtp localhost:54832 CLOSE_WAIT - the maillog has Oct 27 11:23:22 mydomain postfix/master[10871]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 17628 exit status 1 Oct 27 11:23:22 mydomain postfix/master[10871]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Oct 27 11:23:58 mydomain postfix/cleanup[17710]: fatal: open database /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman.db: No such file or directory Oct 27 11:23:59 mydomain postfix/master[10871]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup pid 17710 exit status 1 Oct 27 11:23:59 mydomain postfix/master[10871]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup: bad command startup -- throttling the mailman one I assume is okay as I opted out of installing it I also did not install squirrel mail
please run: touch /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman postmap /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman /etc/init.d/postfix restart
touch: cannot touch `/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman': No such file or directory but find mailman gives /var/lib/mailman I ask should I redo with that directory addition? didn't want to risk a deeper mess up touch /var/lib/mailman/virtual-mailman ?
mkdir /etc/mailman touch /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman postmap /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman /etc/init.d/postfix restart
okayy the plot thickens netstat show *smtp listening but maillog: C567EB4314 578 Mon Oct 27 12:32:42 [email protected] (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 id=12498-01 - Temporary MTA failure on relaying, From MTA() during fwd-connect (No greeting, dt: 1.017 s): id=12498-01 (in reply to end of DATA command)) [email protected] CA1BFB430C 380 Mon Oct 27 11:16:27 [email protected] (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 id=12499-02 - Temporary MTA failure on relaying, From MTA() during fwd-connect (No greeting, dt: 35.036 s): id=12499-02 (in reply to end of DATA command)) [email protected] where dallas@ is from me running site page to send out an email **update ** Sorry that's mailq not maillog this is maillog: Oct 27 17:09:24 mydomain postfix/smtp[12695]: 78F21B431C: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, conn_use=4, delay=484, delays=0.02/433/0/50, dsn=4.5.0, status=deferred (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 id=12498-03-4 - Temporary MTA failure on relaying, From MTA() during fwd-connect (No greeting, dt: 35.037 s): id=12498-03-4 (in reply to end of DATA command)) Oct 27 17:09:33 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13417]: connect from unknown[127.0.0.1] Oct 27 17:09:33 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13417]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory Oct 27 17:09:33 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13417]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Oct 27 17:09:33 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13419]: connect from unknown[127.0.0.1] Oct 27 17:09:33 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13419]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory Oct 27 17:09:33 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13419]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Oct 27 17:09:34 mydomain postfix/master[12687]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 13417 exit status 1 Oct 27 17:09:34 mydomain postfix/master[12687]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Oct 27 17:09:34 mydomain postfix/master[12687]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 13419 exit status 1 Oct 27 17:10:01 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13454]: connect from localhost[::1] Oct 27 17:10:01 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13454]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory Oct 27 17:10:01 mydomain postfix/smtpd[13454]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Oct 27 17:10:02 mydomain postfix/master[12687]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 13454 exit status 1 Oct 27 17:10:02 mydomain postfix/master[12687]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling And restarting apache show this Starting httpd: [Mon Oct 27 18:13:46 2014] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:443 has no VirtualHosts [Mon Oct 27 18:13:46 2014] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts [ OK ]
root@mydomain ~]# service dovecot restart Stopping Dovecot Imap: [FAILED] Starting Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 9: Unknown setting: ssl_protocols [FAILED]
okay so digging further I found that dovecot 2.0.9 , my version with ispconfig doesn't support the ssl_protocols. Do i want to update dovecot and edit some ispconfig 3 files? (Centos 6.5)
or comment out the ssl protocols line and look at other apache configs to secure against a poodle bite?
I think its not a good idea to try to update to a newer dovecot version on your server, so better just comment out that line in dovecot.conf. The new ispconfig version that had been released today recognizes dovecot versions better and will not activate that option for versions < 2.1.
okay commented out emails came from site came in... how concerned should I be about the poodle attack business, I am launching a production site this week on this vps. And thank you for all your help.
