SpamD v4.3.7 on 1.2.1-RC1

cheesyboofs

1.2.1-RC1 - built on Sun Aug 17 23:30:22 EDT 2008

Why is SpamD whitelisting everything?
Why don't the buttons on the right work - they just wobble and nothing happens even after a browser refresh?
What does "spamd[57176]: /sbin/pfctl returned status 1" mean?
Why do I get my mails straight away, they aren't slowed a bit?

Cheers

I have read this thread to death:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,8952.75.html

I'm not sure is 1.2.1 has broke spamd but I am seeing all the problem reported prior to spamd becoming stable.

the jiggly buttons do NOT work even if browser refresh with F5 under firefox or IE7 and at the moment everything is being white listed? my understanding is that everything should be greyed and I am supposed to use the jiggly button to add it to the white list.

Please try the package on 1.3. I just spoke with Gary and he said that SpamD is working correctly (he helped finance the bounty to get it fixed).

cheesyboofs

ok! not quite the response I was thinking but yeh I have a pile of MicroVaults and Microdrives accumulating guess it won't take me long to cobble something together. Is this to prove that it is a 1.2.1 related problem and not the package its self?

sullrich

It apparently works in 1.3.

God knows how?

Can't try vanilla install of 1.3 as I don't have a spare CD-R at the moment but I fear it will be the same!

Does the pfSense spamd package support multi WAN? i.e. If my mail comes in and goes out of my opt interface should it still work?

sullrich

Fixed the /etc/services issues.

I would think that spamd should be able to accept mail on all interfaces, IIRC. It listens on ..

SpamD is working fine for us in production on a single-WAN setup. We have not tested with multi-WAN, but for single-WAN it works very well, except for the RRD graphs not being updated.

@cheesyboofs:

Why does it say, Address already in use?

Something else is already listening on the port (smtp port?) spamd uses?

cheesyboofs

My understanding is that spamd listens on 127.0.0.1 and then forwards on to my mail server (ip)

rc_start() {
/sbin/mount_fdescfs fdescfs /dev/fd
/usr/local/sbin/spamd-setup -d &
/sbin/pflogd &
/usr/local/libexec/spamd -G 25:4:864 -n "pfsense" -c 800 -B 700 -w 1 127.0.0.1 &
/usr/local/libexec/spamlogd

}

I still have my NAT and firewall rule in place for port 25, should this be removed once spamd is installed? or should I change it so that port 25 is routed to 127.0.0.1 (pfsense) instead and then let spamd forward it on to exchange?

Hi.

My spamd runs fine on 1.3(I know nothing about 1.2.1, sorry) box, only difference is the port#, I use 8025 instead. I've configured "spamd -g" runs at localhost:8025. The following is my quick/dirty but works fine pf rules;

–-
table <spamd>persist
table <spamd-white>persist
no rdr on { lo0, lo1 } from any to any
rdr pass inet proto tcp from <spamd>to any port smtp -> 127.0.0.1 port 8025
rdr pass inet proto tcp from ! <spamd-white>os {"Windows 2000", "Windows XP"} to any port smtp -> 127.0.0.1 port 8025

It look like you're getting "fdescfs" nags because there's no "mount_fdescfs" command exists in /sbin, but spamd requires /dev/fd for updating its white-list. Copy mount_fdescfs from other FreeBSD or use /boot/kernel/fdescfs.ko instead. Add the following line in your fstab; fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0

This is only my environment and may not fit yours but really hope this helps.</spamd-white></spamd></spamd-white></spamd>

cheesyboofs

I think I have figured it out and now have it working I think!

I removed my WAN -> LAN NAT entry and changed my port 25 rule and now I'm getting mails graylisted as I should.

Just look at how many I got in the first 40 seconds of the service being up and running and you will see why I was so keen to get it working.

@ Sullrich - might be an idea to have a prompt on the spamd config page to mention removing existing NAT entries.

@ MOD's please move to the packages section of the forum as this issue was clearly not related to 1.2.1, many thanks to all.

I think I'm nearly there, I am now correctly getting white list entries for known good servers but I'm still not getting the mails?
I can see them coming in via the logs on the firewall but I don't think they are getting sent on to exchange.

Apart from the NextMTA: 192.168.100.5 is there anything else I need to tweak? NAT maybe?

Help!

EDIT: @ sullrich I think nocer has something

but spamd requires /dev/fd for updating its white-list.

as none of the whitlist entries blow have been copied to /var/db/whitelist.txt. So I have used the white list tab to add some (not the silly button) and this updated /var/db/whitelist.txt still not getting any mails though.

Hello, I'm not able to address your MTA issue but may /dev/fd or grey listing/white listing.

Well, while back ago I happend to see the following message every few minutes when struggling with spamd running;

–-
pfctl: /dev/fd/7: No such file or direcotry.

Then I realized that spamd uses pfctl to update its white-list table because looking thru the grey.c I found the following;

static char *pargv[11]= {
"pfctl", "-p", "/dev/pf", "-q", "-t",
"spamd-white", "-T", "replace", "-f" "-", NULL
};
–-

and it also does;

if (asprintf(&fdpath, "/dev/fd/%d", pfdev) == -1)
return(-1);
pargv[2] = fdpath;
–-

Basicall pfdev opens /dev/pf which is the file descriptor required. So I checked my /dev/fd and found so sad,

$ ls -l /dev/fd
total 0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 18 Mar 4 23:14 0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 20 Mar 4 23:14 1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 22 Mar 4 23:14 2

There were only three of them, but as the error messages said pf needed 7 at least so I check another machine which ran OpenBSD, it had 65(0-64) of them there. So I did;

$ sudo mount_fdescfs fdescfs /dev/fd

which forced the kernel to make descriptors as needed and added the following into fstab;

fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0

That's pretty much for now.

@ Sullrich
Would it be possible to add /sbin/mount_fdescfs at leaset because it is called in rc and modify fstab at the startup if there's spamd configured?

cheesyboofs

Thanks nocer,

Still not quite there yet!

@ Submicron, I am genuinely please yours is working for you but that doesn't change the fact that mine is not from a fresh install! It does not change the fact that there seems to be missing files IMHO.
Is it possible that yours is working because you have upgraded from 1.1 or 1.2 or have another app installed and that is why you have the missing files?

Regards to all.

sudo mount_fdescfs fdescfs /dev/fd

sudo: Command not found.

Ooops, command not exist so you need to copy from another FreeBSD machine. However,

vi /etc/fstab

Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#

/dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0
fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0
~

:wq!

is quite a way of workaround(this forces to load fdescfs.ko which is a heart of mount_fdescfs command), as I said in previous post.
Now you're not seeing fd related errors at least and can ignore "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamd.sh: /sbin/mount_fdescfs: not found" message.

cheers,

Its still not playing ball and its quite frustrating because I have traphic shaping, openvpn and load-balancing working so this should be a walk in the park.

I fired up an old 6.2 VM (1.2-Release) and sure enough there are extra files, missing in 7 (1.2.1-BETA) So I copied over mount_fdescfs from 6.2 to 7,

But now I get another file missing!

I have now copied over libc.so.6 from 1.2-Release and now I get no errors but I'm also not getting any hits in my Spamd Database and no mails to exchange. I am getting hits on the firewall rule. please check my settings to confirm I'm not missing anything obvious.

I have no NAT set up for port 25 because I'm asuming Spamd does that

As you can see I have six mails coming in but none in the spamd database.
