I have been running been running smtp-auth
(http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/) for years, but in the last week spammers have been using roam.unifiedmind.com -- I have no idea how. I'm logging with recordio, and I patched qmail with qmail-smtpd-auth-log (http://tomclegg.net/qmail/#qmail-smtpd-auth-log) so that I can view the user in the log file, but it doesn't appear that they are authenticating (no relevant 235 lines). Sample header... Return-Path: <laott@msn.com> Received: (qmail 1565 invoked from network); 9 Jul 2003 01:10:56 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO smtp0321.mail.yahoo.com) (webmaster@218.70.150.60) by 0 with SMTP; 9 Jul 2003 01:10:56 -0000 Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2003 06:14:32 GMT From: "darryll "<laott@msn.com> X-Priority: 3 To: vasi@vic.com Subject: vasi,FREE Sample of weight loss product! Any ideas? |

.... but haven't configured its password checking correctly, and the unsolicited bulk mailers have finally spotted this. 220 roam.unifiedmind.com ESMTP EHLO 0 250-roam.unifiedmind.com 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME AUTH LOGIN 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 piddle 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 piddle 235 ok, ¦']à, go ahead (#2.0.0) MAIL FROM:<Spurious@example.invalid> 250 ok RCPT TO:<Spurious@example.invalid> 250 ok DATA 354 go ahead The most common configuration mistake that produces this behaviour is to forget one of the new arguments to "qmail-smtpd" and to thus end up running "/bin/true" as one's password checking utility. |
