2. 2 Workshop Objectives The purpose of this short seminar is to provide a broad understanding of the various design principles and concepts that exist in Sendmail X. An extensive number of on-line manuals and other references exist that provide a more in-depth look into the topics discussed in this course. 1. Introduce Sendmail X 2. Provide basic installation and configuration tips 3. Questions and Answers

3. 3 Why Sendmail X Sendmail is one of the oldest Message Transfer Agents (MTA). It was incepted around 1977, known as “Bill Joy period”, when everything seemed to be happening all at once. Heterogenous networks could not communicate via email effectively. The hooks for UUCP mail were done in /bin/mail. The hooks for BerkNet were done in Berkeley Mail and the hooks for Arpanet were different altogether. Sendmail is one of the oldest Message Transfer Agents (MTA).

The hooks for UUCP mail were done in /bin/mail. The hooks for BerkNet were done in Berkeley Mail and the hooks for Arpanet were different altogether. Eric Allman worked on Ingres Project at Berkeley and recognised a need to have a common MTA. Initially, he called it delivermail, which was the precursor of sendmail. Eric Allman worked on Ingres Project at Berkeley and recognised a need to have a common MTA. Initially, he called it delivermail, which was the precursor of sendmail. Many versions of Sendmail have been generated in the past. The current open- source version is at release 8.13.5. Several excellent competing products emerged in last several years: Exim, Postfix, Smail, Qmail. They have smaller code bases (typically being half the size of Sendmail, or less), do not support the legacy features, and generally had less programming bugs and security threats.

4. 4 Sendmail X Main Features Its current version is Beta 4.0. Project leader is Claus Assmann. Sendmail X has a slightly different license than Sendmail 8. It supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) as specified by RFC 2821 and various extensions, like STARTTLS, AUTH, PIPELINING, and other protocols (LMTP, for example). It was designed as a secure and efficient mail gateway. It does not provide any mail content modification capabilities like masquerading of addresses or changing (addition, removal) of headers. Later versions will probably add those features.

5. 5 Sendmail X Main Features It is a modularized message transfer system consisting of at least five persistent processes, four of which are multi-threaded. A central queue manager (QMGR) controls SMTP servers (SMTPS) and SMTP clients (SMTPC) to receive and send email messages, an address resolver (SMAR) provides lookups in various maps including DNS for mail routing, and a main control program (MCP) starts the others processes and monitors them. The queue manager organizes the flow of messages through the system and provides measures to avoid overloading the local or remote systems by implementing a central control instance.

6. 6 Sendmail X – Key Principles RobustnessFlexibilityScalabilityExtendabilityMaintainabilityPortability Automated Testing Backward Compatibility (as much as possible) It has three queues on disk ("persistent" queues): IBDB: incoming envelope information DEFEDB: deferred envelope information CDB: content database IBDB: incoming envelope information DEFEDB: deferred envelope information CDB: content database The first two are exclusively handled by QMGR, the third one is written by SMTPS, read by SMTPC, and entries are removed by QMGR.

7. 7 Building Sendmail X The configuration file is generated by GNU autoconf. The simplest method to build it in the source tree (only use a privileged account if it is really required, but most of the programs refuse to run with root privileges):./configure make make check Other options: -enable-TLS -enable-SASL -with-sasl-libdir=path -with-sasl-incdir=path -disable-included-bdb -with-bdb-libdir=path -with-bdb-incdir=path -enable-pmilter

11. 11 Sendmail X Directory Structure A shell script to setup the directories, files is available in misc/sm.setup.sh. It is is invoked when make install is run. Majority of default values in the installation script can be overridden through environment variables (defaults are listed in square brackets): SMXCONFDIR: [/etc/smx] configuration directory SMXQDIR: [/var/spool/smx] queue directory; communication sockets are created in this directory by default SMXLOGDIR: [.] logging directory (relative to SMXQDIR). If logging is done via syslog(3) then this directory is not used SMXS [smxs] SMTP Server user and group SMXC [smxc] SMTP Client user and group SMXQ [smxq] QMGR user and group SMXM [smxm] address resolver (misc) user and group SMX [smx] generic (configuration) user and group SMXLG group for log files; the install program tries operator, sysadmin, and root

12. 12 Sendmail X Directory and File Permissions The CDB directories (0-9, A-F) must be owned by smxs and have group smxq with the permissions 0771: drwxrwx--x 2 smxs smxq 0/ The main (DEFEDB) and incoming queues (IBDB) must belong to smxq and should not accessible by anyone else: drwx------ 2 smxq smxq defedb/ drwx------ 2 smxq smxq ibdb/ drwx------ 2 smxq smxq ibdb/ibdb/ Mailertable, aliases map, and other maps for SMAR should belong to smxm and can be readable as local conventions require: -rw-r--r-- 1 smxm smxm mt -rw-r--r-- 1 smxm smxm aliases.db In general, maps should be owned by the user id of the program that uses them.

13. 13 Sendmail X Directory and File Permissions (continued) The sendmail X configuration file smx.conf can belong to root or the generic Sendmail X user. The directories in which the communication sockets between QMGR and the other programs are located must belong to smxq and be group accessible for the corresponding program: drwxrws--- 2 smxq smxm qmsmar/ drwxrws--- 2 smxq smxc qmsmtpc/ drwxrws--- 2 smxq smxs qmsmtps/ The directory in which the communication socket between MCP and SMTPS is located must belong to smxs: drwxr-x--- 2 smxs smxs smtps/ The log files must be owned by the corresponding user and may have relaxed group (or even world) read permissions: -rw-r----- 1 smxq operator qmgr.log -rw-r----- 1 smxm operator smar.log -rw-r----- 1 smxc operator smtpc.log -rw-r----- 1 smxs operator smtps.log

Note that the lookups in the access map are performed in the order in which the blacklists are given; the first successful lookup is used as result, no further queries are performed.

25. 25 Sendmail X Greylisting (part 1) Supports a very simple form of greylisting. Uses the client IP address as key instead of a tuple consisting of client IP address, envelope sender, and envelope recipient. Design goal was: do not accept mail from an unknown source on the first connection, but reject it with a temporary error. Any MTA that conforms to RFC 2821 will try to send the mail later on, however, spamming systems often do not do that. An IP address can be in three different states: unknown: the client has not connected before or the entry is expired from the database, greylisted: the client has connected before but it did not yet connect again within the configured time interval, whitelisted: the client has connected before and it connected again within the configured time interval. Greylisting is performed at the RCPT stage of the SMTP dialogue. It is only done when a valid recipient is specified - all other checks must have been successful. Clients that do not try to send mail or just try invalid recipient addresses will not be added to the greylisting database.

26. 26 Sendmail X Greylisting (part 2) Greylisting can be disabled for selected hosts by adding them to the access map: cltaddr:10.15 relay cltaddr:192.168.38relay cltaddr:127.0.0.1quick:relay Some mailers do not behave properly and will not retry a mail that had a temporary error. This can cause mail loss in various situations like when the receiving system is currently out of some resources. To minimize the impact: cltaddr:192.168.17.45ok cltaddr:203.18.150.1ok A list of broken mailers can be found at: http://cvs.puremagic.com/viewcvs/greylisting/schema/whitelist_ip.txt A related problem are server farms where a mail could be sent from a different IP address each time, or if a client authenticates via STARTTLS or AUTH.

29. 29 Sendmail X Misc (part 1) Strict RFC Compliance The SMTP server currently enforces fairly strict RFC 2821 compliance. For example, a MAIL command must be given in the following format MAIL From:user@some.domain user@some.domain The angle brackets are required, there must be no space after ":", etc. This has the useful side effect of catching some spam programs: 5.5.0 Syntax error., input=MAIL FROM: 5.5.0 Syntax error., input=MAIL FROM: Server requires that lines end in CRLF (\r\n), it will not accept command input without the correct line ending (trying to do that will cause a read error). MX records must point to hostnames, not IP addresses. This applies to receiving mail - a MAIL address using a domain whose MX record points to an IP address will be rejected (553 5.1.8 Sender address does not exist) - as well as to sending mail – a RCPT address with a domain whose MX record points to an IP address is not resolved by SMAR.
