The emails take many hours to get to your destination

Post #1 of 9 (6113 views)

Hi,

A user (mar@pmaint.com) has received between the last weekend and
today about 35000 emails 'failure notice' (Please see below the email
header).
All users can receive email from anywhere without problem, but when we
send emails outside our network, emails do not arrive early and it
take many hours to arrive.
(As an example, yesterday I sent an email at 4 pm and get to my gmail
account after 9 hours).

After to execute the following command: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat ,it display :

messages in queue: 63969
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

and the message queue increases at an incredible speed. (now 64201)

I tried to run qmHandle to delete only "failure notice" email, but It
display the following error message :
./qmHandle -S"failure notice"
Calling system script to terminate qmail...
svc: warning: unable to chdir to /service/qmail-deliver: file does not exist

surely I have to modify the script. To reset qmail I use

1) down
for i in $(ls /service/ |grep qmail); do svc -d /service/$i; done;

2) start
for i in $(ls /service/ |grep qmail); do svc -u /service/$i; done;

The user mar@pmaint.com never had sent emails to those domains that
are in the log, In the header you can see that the ip address

(mar@115.230.125.175) is not ours. We have 64.18.73.133 like address
email. The computer from 'mar' use Antivirus Kaspersky 2012 PURE 2.0.
I attach a part of the qmail-send log.

Our server is RHEL 5.0 with qmail, clamAV and spamassassin.

(Before send this email the queue is 64704)

Thanks for your help.

Eduardo

Do you know who unknown (HELO MiK.cwywb) (mar@115.230.125.175
<mailto:mar@115.230.125.175>) is?

You have a lot of messages in your queue, and only 20 concurrent
outgoing connections. Any mail you submit will take time to be processed.

You should check that you aren't an open relay or otherwise aren't
receiving mail that you don't want to. The above IP is from Asia, so my
guess would be that some spammers are filling up your queue, and you're
relaying spam for them.

Hi Darek,

I tested with http://mxtoolbox.com and we're not doing open relay :
SMTP Open Relay Ok - Not an open relay.

You are right, all emails are from Asia.
There are many different HELO as IP addresses, example:

HELO nvw.qgsjltj) (mar@115.230.125.182)

(HELO Eix.mq) (mar@115.230.124.46)
(HELO af) (mar@110.205.23.205) etc.

Thanks

Eduardo

You'll have to find out how they are submitting mail to you. Maybe they
guessed one of your user's password and are using SMTP-AUTH to gain
relay rights. I'd start by changing the password for mar@pmaint.com
<mailto:mar@pmaint.com> and making sure it is strong.

It's not enough. You need to find out how the messages are getting into your
queue; if you're sure it's not via SMTP, look in the qmail logs (you didn't
quote the lines where the messages arrive in the queue, only the delivery
lines). It could be via your webserver or some other vulnerable software.

From the headers quoted in the first mail one can see that the messages
are injected via SMTP. I also have those "attacks" as it seems that
there are currently bots outside that scan MUAs for credentials.

I would advise you to also check the queue for any outgoing spam mails
still in the queue and delete them, too.

Thanks Charles and Oliver,

I erased all the garbage from the queue and now I have only 100 queued
messages. This is a temporary solution. I need to know how the messages are
getting into the queue.

Hi,

Now, the output queue is almost normal, but that does not mean the problem
is solved.

I did a lot of test for open relay (please look Test-1, Test-2, Test-3
below) and all tests display "not open relay".
However, in the Test-4 that displays: "|_smtp-open-relay: Server is an open
relay (7/16 tests)"
Maybe, in the Test-4 when I use nmap command is it only for LAN? Are the
others tests for WAN?

In the following link:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/test-mail-server-for-an-open-relay.html
there is an instruction to make qmail mail server become close relay. I
added the text ".:deny" in tcp.qmail-smtp file.

This is the text: "
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD=""
.:deny
"
I executed :
#tcprules /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.qmail-smtp.cdb
/etc/tcprules.d/.tcp.qmail-smtp.tmp < /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.qmail-smtp

and I restarted qmail, after that I could not send or receive emails so I
had to return to the original version.
Something I did wrong here?

My server is doing really open relay?

Thanks

Eduardo

Good News!
All tests for an open relay on your mail server failed.
Your mail server does not allow open relay.
