sSMTP, a simple alternative to Sendmail

ubuntuland @ 08:30

Linux distributions have relied on the venerable Sendmail package since the early days of Slackware. But Sendmail's rich mail server features aren't an ideal solution for the typical desktop user whose primary mail support is delivered through a remote ISP. That's the perfect place for a simpler solution: sSMTP.

Many years ago, before the Internet standardized on Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), applications known as mail transfer agents (MTA) were designed to help process email and determine the best route for message delivery. One of the earliest MTAs, Sendmail, became extremely popular for dealing with the delivery of email across multiple networks. It was the only viable open source mechanism for delivering email at the time Linux was introduced to the world, so it became the default MTA provided on many Linux distributions.

There has always been a division of labor for email processing. MTAs handle delivery of email and mail user agents (MUA) such as GNOME's Evolution, KDE's KMail, and Mozilla Thunderbird let users create and manage messages. MUAs have only a very basic concept of how to deliver mail. They don't need to know how to send a message to its intended recipient; they know only about delivering mail to a specific generally server-based MTA, which is then responsible for routing email to the ultimate recipient.

If you run cron jobs or some automated system that sends you alerts via email, the default method the system uses for sending the message is Sendmail, because it is the default MTA for the built-in Linux mail command (typically /bin/mail). This means you not only have to configure your mail reader to send email to your ISP, but you also need to configure Sendmail to do the same thing.

Unfortunately, Sendmail configuration is a mass of twisty passages that even the most experienced user avoids if at all possible. That means it is not the best tool for the typical desktop user.

Two popular Sendmail MTA alternatives, QMail and Postfix, started off simple, but have become complex systems on their own, with capabilities far beyond the needs of a typical desktop user who seeks to simply route email from his machine to his ISP. Alternatively, you could choose a tool other than /bin/mail to send email through direct use of SMTP, such as elm or pine, but these are full MUA clients that provide lots of options that are overkill for addressing the primary problem of mail delivery to an ISP.

The simplified solution: sSMTP

Instead of finding a complicated replacement for mail, you can replace the complicated Sendmail with a simple alternative: sSMTP. sSMTP simplifies configuring your SMTP options with a small configuration file that allows you to specify items like the name of the remote SMTP server, your authorization (username and password), and the domain for your outbound email in much the way you configure your mail reader.

You can install sSMTP through your distribution's package manager, or build and install it from source. In the latter case, unpack the source, change into the source directory, and run the command ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ssmtp --enable-ssl --enable-md5auth. Enabling SSL and MD5Auth allows you to communicate with an ISP that requires SMTP login. You can also enable IPv6 support if you need it; see --help for details.

After the configuration is complete, build and install the package using the normal make and sudo make install commands. When you run the install command you will be prompted for a few items. Follow the displayed instructions. Once installation completes you should find a directory called /usr/local/ssmtp with the sSMTP binary under the sbin subdirectory, and the configuration file under the etc/ssmtp subdirectory.

Now you can stop Sendmail and replace it with sSMTP. To stop Sendmail under Linux distributions that use the System V init scripts (and most distributions these days do) you can try the service command:

sudo service sendmail stop
sudo chkconfig --levels 2345 sendmail off

The first command stops the currently running instance of Sendmail, and the second prevents it from starting again on reboots. If your version of Linux does not use the SysVInit package you may need to kill the sendmail process manually with a command like sudo killall sendmail.

To replace Sendmail you can simply copy it to another file, then create a symbolic link from sSMTP to sendmail:

sudo mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.orig
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ssmtp/sbin/ssmtp /usr/sbin/sendmail

The first command moves the original sendmail out of the way, while the second makes sSMTP the program that gets run when any system command calls sendmail. With this approach, if you run into problems using sSMTP, just remove the symbolic link and move the sendmail copy back to its original name.

ref_468x60_green_bidvertiser.gif

Configuration

The configuration file for sSMTP, based on the --prefix option we used with the configure command while building from the source code, is /usr/local/ssmtp/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf. This file has only four common options, plus some hidden options for authentication.

After a sample build, sSMTP created the following configuration file for me (lines starting with a # symbol are comments):

# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=postmaster
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.
mailhub=mail
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
#rewriteDomain=graphics-muse.org
# The full hostname
hostname=kepler.graphics-muse.org

Change the root= value to an email address that will receive all system-generated email, such as output from cron jobs that encounter errors or log file analysis. I changed this line to my personal email address.

mailhub= defines the SMTP server to which email should be sent. Set this line to the host you specify in your mail reader for the SMTP server.

hostname= is the name of the mail host that you'd like recipients of your email to see it. Since I want responses to my email to be sent to back to my ISP domain so I can use my mail reader to retrieve it, I set this line to the ISP domain. This is the domain part of all outbound messages; all users on your system will appear to be coming from this domain.

You can use rewriteDomain= to spoof who you say you are. Since I'm already spoofing the server address with the hostname line, I leave this line commented out.

The initial configuration does not include information on how to log in to SMTP servers that require authentication. This information is the same information you must provide in your mail reader in order for it to send email through your ISP. To specify this information, you can add the following lines:

AuthUser=your username
AuthPass=your password
AuthMethod=CRAM-MD5

With this configuration, every time my system sends mail using /bin/mail, sendmail gets called, which is actually sSMTP. sSMTP uses the authentication I provided in the configuration file to log in to my ISP's SMTP server and deliver my outgoing email.

Caveats

Replacing Sendmail with sSMTP works well for desktop PCs that have only a single user configured. If you have multiple users, you may not want to use sSMTP, since by default all email sent via the mail command will look like it comes from a single user. An additional configuration file, revaliases, allows you to map a local user to a specific From: address on outbound mail and to route that mail through a specific mailhub. Still, there is no way to configure different logins on different mailhubs that use different different authentication credentials. With sSMTP, your outbound mail can only have one remote MTA to which it can connect.

Also, in order for any user on your system to use sSMTP, they will need to have read permissions on the ssmtp.conf file. Placing your ISP login information in a configuration file that is world-readable allows anyone who uses your system to see your email authentication information. This is another reason why use of sSMTP is appropriate only for home users who are the sole users of that system. You can fix this problem through normal user and group permissions and by running sSMTP as a setuid program, but not if you want to make things as simple as possible, as we set out to do.

While sSMTP is a replacement for Sendmail, it is not a complete replacement. One important distinction is that it is not intended to receive mail, as Sendmail does. You need to use a mail reader to retrieve and read email from your ISP.

sSMTP also does not manage mail queues, so it sends outbound email immediately. Although the man page for sSMTP shows support for all the same command-line options that Sendmail supports, sSMTP ignores most of those options.

Finally, the sSMTP implementation enforces a limit on the size of outbound message headers. Try not to write long subject lines or include long lists of recipients. If you need to send something to a large list of recipients, set up an alias instead of manually listing all the recipients on the command line.

sSMTP is exactly as advertised: simple. It requires only minimal effort to set up and little to no long-term maintenance. But it isn't appropriate for all users. Its greatest value is to the non-technical home user with only one user configured on a machine. To those users, sSMTP can be an easy way to improve messaging management.

Calendars

Evolution supports the ability to manage multiple calendars, both local, CalDAV and web based calendars.   To create a new calendar, click File, then New, then Calendar.  If the calendar is one to be saved only on your computer, enter the name and color.  If it is an internet based calendar, enter the name, color, URL and how often the calendar should be refreshed for changes and updates.

Features

Standards Support

Novell Evolution embraces mail, calendar and address book standards to ease data sharing.

Supported mail protocols include IMAP, POP, SMTP and Authenticated SMTP, as well as Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003. Novell GroupWise support is currently in beta.

iCalendar support allows users in disparate collaboration servers to share meeting information, publish this information and subscribe to calendars published on the Web (webcal).

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support enables users to access their existing company address books. Users can also share contact information using vCard message attachments.

Security and Encryption

Industry-standard encryption, including support for PGP/GPG, SASL and SSL/TLS, ensures message security.

E-mail Client

Novell Evolution connects to corporate communications architectures, including Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise.

The message composer auto-completes e-mail addresses stored in the Contacts list.

View options allow users to view e-mail chronologically, by author or by thread. Custom folders can be color-coded to note priority or type, and vFolders, dynamic saved searches, provide convenient access to messages spread across multiple folders.

User-defined filters automatically move or process incoming and outgoing mail into specific, customizable folders. Account-management tools enable users to receive, manage and organize messages from multiple e-mail accounts.

Integration with SpamAssassin enables client-side junk-mail filtering.

Enhanced offline access for IMAP mail is also included in Novell Evolution.

Calendar

Users can create customized reminders for their events that open windows or play sounds. A "snooze-button" feature allows users to delay the reminder.

iCalendar support enables users to arrange appointments and schedule meetings with Microsoft Exchange, and other applications that support the iCalendar standard.

Group scheduling helps users schedule meetings, view attendee availability and allocate resources with other users in organizations running on Microsoft Exchange.

Free/busy searches enable users to publish and view schedules to facilitate the planning of group meetings.

The new overlay feature enables users to view multiple calendars so they can see their personal calendars as well as those of coworkers, work groups and others in a single color-coded view. This allows users to see conflicts or possible events without using the free/busy search.

Support for Web-based and multiple local calendars extends the ability to add any valid .ics file to calendar views, allowing users or workgroups to track events without leaving their Novell Evolution Calendar view.

Contact Management

Users can keep track of their business associates, friends and family by adding them to their contact list and maintaining multiple contact folders.

LDAP support enables users to access their existing company address books without changing collaboration infrastructure.

Userscan save time with address auto-completion, a feature that uses locally stored contacts or those found in LDAP directories to automatically complete e-mail addresses. They can also share, receive and save contacts using built-in vCard support.

Task and To-do List

Users can organize their work by entering to-do items into the task component. Summary, description, due dates, priorities, and categories can be entered. Users can then view their items by date, priority, deadlines and other criteria or view tasks in the integrated calendar view.

Extensible Architecture

Novell Evolution 2.0 includes the new Novell Evolution Data Server component that exposes Evolution-accessible data (such as mail, calendar and contacts) to the rest of the desktop applications. For example, users can view appointments and tasks in the desktop panel calendar, display appointment reminders in the panel notification area and add buddies to their Gaim instant messaging client by adding them to the Novell Evolution address book. This enables independent application developers to access collaboration server data (such as Novell GroupWise) without writing code for each server type.

Users can access, edit and update e-mail, address book, calendars, and task folders on Novell GroupWise servers from within Novell Evolution. They can also access the GroupWise Address Book for names, addresses and other contact information. Furthermore, they can enter Novell GroupWise Messenger information in the Personal Contacts feature for easy, secure, instant messaging via Gaim.

Users can issue meeting invitations and view colleague availability.

Built-in Microsoft Exchange Support

Users can communicate directly with built-in WebDAV support, eliminating the need to maintain separate IMAP e-mail server access to support Linux and UNIX users.

From within Novell Evolution, users can view, edit and update e-mail, address books, calendars and task folders on the Exchange server.

Using existing global address lists, users can access names, addresses and contact information from the Exchange Global Address List.

Public folder support allows users to share documents and files in existing Exchange public folders. They can also create new public folders for collaboration.

Through the Manage Permissions feature, users can control access to personal and public folders, calendars and task lists.

With the proper authorization, users can open other users' calendars or shared folders.

The Out-of-Office Assistant helps users create custom vacation or notification messages that run on the Exchange server.

Through the Calendar Delegation feature, users can set permissions to allow others to view their calendars. Users can also delegate permission to a colleague (for example, an administrative assistant) to accept and schedule meetings in their calendars.

Direct resource booking reserves resources such as conference rooms or vehicles for your meetings and appointments.

The new mailbox- and folder-size features display Exchange server quota notifications to keep mailbox sizes down.

S/MIME protocol support

S/MIME certificate support gives users a higher level of authentication in their correspondence. This feature ensures that messages are digitally signed and encrypted. Users can view, manage and import certificates and recognize additional certificate authorities with a centralized certificate-management tool.

Palm Device Support

Users can access the latest information with two-way synchronization between Novell Evolution (calendar, address book and task list) and their Palm handheld devices.

Overview

Evolution provides integrated mail, addressbook and calendaring functionality to users of the GNOME desktop.

GMail adds group mailing list functions

ubuntuland @ 06:34


gmail

The uzi fire rapid rate of GMail feature releases has slowed a bit, but it hasn’t quite stopped.  Today, Robby Stein one of Google’s Product Marketing Managers, announced the ability to create personal mailing lists with the GMail contact manager.

It comes in handy particular for Web 2.0-style businesses like Mashable, where almost everything we do operates out of the Google suite of tools, or other similar Web 2.0 tools.  Being able to send out an email to the “Writer’s Department” or “Entire Mashable Crew” is a big time saver, as opposed to plucking out each individual’s emails from the address book.

The new features are compatible with IE7 and Firefox2, and are extremely simple to do (I had a few groups set and actually used in under five minutes). From the instructions at the GMail blog:

To create contact groups, click “Contacts” from the left-hand navigation list and then click the groups icon:

After naming your group, browse for contacts you want to add to it. You can find them by clicking “All Contacts” or by searching by name or email address. Once you locate the contact you’d like to add to your group, click on the contact name, and select the “Groups” drop down menu in the right-most pane. You can add any contact to a group this way — or make impromptu new groups. (You can also add people to groups by clicking a group name and then typing email addresses or names in the search box at the bottom of the middle pane).

The great thing about creating contact groups is that they “auto-complete”: you can type the group name as you normally would type email addresses or contact names, and by selecting the group from the drop down menu, the group’s contacts are automatically inserted. Your email recipients will not see your group name when they receive the email, but instead will see all the individual contact names and email addresses listed as normal.

While this feature is great for creating efficient ways to email small groups, we encourage you to use Google Groups to manage large ones.

FileBunker 1.1.2 for Linux

ubuntuland @ 20:03

rss_orange1.png

FileBunker is a file backup application which uses one or more GMail accounts as its backup repository.

Because each GMail account supplies 1000 megabytes of storage, it serves as an excellent facility for this purpose.

Files are compressed and encrypted for security and efficiency, and can be restored on demand.

FileBunker will automatically use a new account as old ones are filled up.
NOTE If you delete an account that already has files backed up to it, those files will not be accessible from FileBunker.


no one deals like we do!

 

http://filebunker.sourceforge.net/ScreenShots/screenshot_win.png

Configuring Filebunker:

Before FileBunker can be used to backup your files, you need to configure the application. This is done by choosing Configuration from the File menu. The following describes the information that must be provided to complete this configuration.

FileBunker Password:

First and foremost, FileBunker requires you to establish a password. This password is used to encrypt the data that you backup so that it is secure.

Longer passwords are better, and you should not use a password which coincides with the password to any of the GMail accounts that you are using for backups. Note in order to make sure your password is correctly recorded, you must type it again in the Confirm Password field.

SMTP Server:

FileBunker transfers files to GMail by sending them using the standard email transfer protocol SMTP. You must identify an SMTP server that will send your email. This is usually an address like smtp.mycompany.com, or mail.myisp.com.

If you are not sure what to specify, check the account configuration in your email application (such as Outlook or Eudora), or contact your ISP. Some SMTP servers require authentication in order to transfer messages.

This involves specifying a user name and password which is used to authenticate you to the SMTP server. If your server requires this authentication, check the Requires Authentication checkbox, and click the Configure button to specify the user name and password.

As with establishing your FileBunker password, you will need to confirm your password to make sure it is correctly recorded. Again, check the configuration of your email application, or contact your ISP, if you are not sure whether your SMTP server requires authentication.

uBid is the marketplace you can trust!

no one deals like we do!

Email Repositories:

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, in order to perform any backups you need to specify one or more GMail accounts which your files will be sent to.

Clicking the New button will prompt you to specify the email address and password for an existing GMail account. Note the '@gmail.com' is already specified, so you will only need to specify the user name (e.g. jsmith).

As with other password fields in this configuration, you will need to confirm the password to ensure it is recorded correctly. After pressing OK you will be returned to the main configuration dialog, and you will see the new account in the Email Repositories list.

You can select it, and click Edit to change the details of that account, or Delete to remove it. Each GMail account gives you 1000 megabytes of storage. You can register multiple accounts at any time as your storage requirements grow.

FileBunker will automatically use a new account as old ones are filled up.
NOTE If you delete an account that already has files backed up to it, those files will not be accessible from FileBunker.
