http://www.pixelinx.com/2010/10/creating-a-mail-server-on-ubuntu-using-postfix-courier-ssltls-spamassassin- clamav-and-amavis/ : This guide has been updated to work with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. : this has been tested to work on the following versions of Ubuntu: • Ubuntu 12.04 • Ubuntu 11.04 • Ubuntu 10.04 • Ubuntu 9.04 One of the most fragile and fragmented services I’ve had to configure on Ubuntu is a mail server. No matter which of the many guides I follow, each time I do it there’s always something not working. This one is mostly for my benefit, but hopefully it’ll be useful to others, too. I’ve tried to make the guide easy to follow and as short as possible. Please comment if something isn’t clear. Before we start, I have to give a huge amount of credit to Ivar Abrahamsen for his guide which is, by far, one of the best ones out there. So let’s kick off. : • Postfix is the mail transfer agent (MTA) responsible for accepting new messages and storing them on your server as well as allowing authorised users to send e-mail. • Courier sits in front of Postfix and provides an IMAP and POP3 interface for clients to connect to. • SASL with SSL and TLS allows you to authenticate and communicate with the mail server securely. • SpamAssassin will analyse your e-mails as they arrive and will filter out what it thinks is spam. • ClamAV will scan e-mails for viruses before delivering it to your inbox. • Amavis ties SpamAssasin and ClamAV together, and is itself hooked into Postfix. • MySQL will be used to manage user accounts and e-mail forwarding. 1 Set Up Mail Server Documentation, 1.0 1.2 ,. sudo su - apt-get update apt-get install -y mysql-server postfix postfix-mysql libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql libgsasl7 libauthen-sasl-cyrus-perl sasl2-bin libpam-mysql clamav-base libclamav6 clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam amavisd-new spamassassin spamc courier-base courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-ssl During the installation of MySQL you will be prompted for the root user password, as shown: Enter a secure password, and don’t forget it! Similarly, during the installation of Courier you will be presented with the following configuration prompts: Choose No Choose OK Choose Internet Site Enter your mail server name (e.g. replace example.com with your own domain). Make sure you have this subdomain configured in your DNS records. Choose OK I won’t walk you through the parameters we’re using when configuring Postfix as I want to keep this guide light. If you’re interested, you can find more information from the man pages. 2 Chapter 1.

  • Fighting Spam
    Fighting Spam 2017-10-18 Dianne Skoll Roaring Penguin Software Inc. [email protected] www.roaringpenguin.com Approaches to Fighting Spam ● Reputation-Based (IP, Domain) ● Authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) ● Behavior-Based (greylisting, botnet detection) ● Content-Based ● Defense in Depth www.roaringpenguin.com IP Reputation ● Typically implemented by DNSBLs. ● Reactive – IPs are listed only after they spam. ● Some DNSBLs are high-quality. Most are not. ● Few are transparent as to listing and delisting criteria. ● Few have good IPv6 coverage. ● Useful as a first pass to cut down on spam passing to the rest of the filtering stages. www.roaringpenguin.com Domain Reputation ● Also typically implemented by DNSBLs. ● Reactive. ● Low to moderate hit rate. ● May be applied to sending domain and/or to domains of URLs in the message body. www.roaringpenguin.com Domain Reputation - 2 ● Spammers often register throwaway domains as sending domains. ● Idea: Penalize messages from “newly-seen” domains. ● CanIt 10.1.7 tracks domains seen across all CanIt installations and permits you to (mildly) penalize mail from only-recently-seen domains. www.roaringpenguin.com Authentication: SPF ● SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a mechanism whereby domain owners can declare which machines may send email on their domains’ behalf. ● For arbitrary domains, an SPF “pass” is a mild spam indicator! ● Spammers are better at setting up SPF than many legitimate administrators. www.roaringpenguin.com Authentication: SPF - 2 ● SPF is useful for trusted domains (banks, PayPal, eBay, etc.) ● Adding points on SPF “fail” or “softfail” is useful. ● Subtracting points on SPF “pass” for arbitrary domains is dangerous. ● Subtracting points on SPF “pass” for trusted domains is useful.

  • DMARC — Defeating E-Mail Abuse
    CERT-EU Security Whitepaper 17-001 DMARC — Defeating E-Mail Abuse Christos Koutroumpas ver. 1.3 February 9, 2017 TLP: WHITE 1 Preface E-mail is one of the most valuable and broadly used means of communication and most orga- nizations strongly depend on it. The Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) – the Internet’s underlying email protocol – was adopted in the eighties and is still in use after 35 years. When it was designed, the need for security was not so obvious, and therefore security was not incor- porated in the design of this protocol. As a result, the protocol is susceptible to a wide range of attacks. Spear-phishing campaigns in particular can be more successful by spoofing (altering) the originator e-mail address to imper- sonate a trusted or trustworthy organization or person. This can lead to luring the recipient into giving away credentials or infecting his/her computer by executing malware delivered through the e-mail. While raising user awareness on how to avoid e-mail fraud is recommended, the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report indicates that more needs to be done. The DBIR report reveals that 30% of all phishing e-mail messages were opened by the recipients and with 12% clicked on the content and executed malicious code. The median time for the first user of a phishing campaign to open the malicious email is 1 minute, 40 seconds. The median time to the first click on the attachment was 3 minutes, 45 seconds. These statistics highlight the risk for an organization on the receiving end of spear-phishing e-mails.

Contents 1 Mailman CLI Documentation, Release 1 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 mailman.client The mailman.client library provides official Python bindings for the GNU Mailman 3 REST API. Note that the test suite current requires that a Mailman 3 server be running. It should be running using a dummy or throw-away database, as this will make changes to the running system. TBD: mock the real Mailman engine so that it is not necessary in order to run these tests. 1.1 Requirements mailman.client requires Python 2.6 or newer. 1.2 Project details You may download the latest version of the package from the Python Cheese Shop or from Launchpad. You can also install it via easy_install or pip.: % sudo easy_install mailman.client % sudo pip install mailman.client See the Launchpad project page for access to the Bazaar branch, bug report, etc. 1.3 Documentation A simple guide to using the library is available within this package, in the form of doctests. The manual is also available online in the Cheeseshop at: http://package.python.org/mailman.client 1.4 Acknowledgements Many thanks to Florian Fuchs for his contribution of an initial REST client. 3 Mailman CLI Documentation, Release 1 1.5 Table of Contents 1.5.1 Mailman REST client >>> import os >>> import time >>> import smtplib >>> import subprocess >>> from mock import patch This is the official Python bindings for the GNU Mailman REST API.
