Details

Summary

When compiled with SASL support, blacklistd will notified about bad login attempts during SMTP AUTH interactions. The "stop_attack" code is also augmented with blacklistd support - too many bad commands (typically 25) also count as a bad user. The "greet_pause" violaters will also be counted as a "bad user" attempt too.

These are pretty conservative places to add support. More could be added in the future. In conjunction with a milter, some innovative blacklist support could be added.

lidl retitled this revision from to Add blacklist support to sendmail.
lidl updated this object.
lidl edited the test plan for this revision. (Show Details)
lidl added reviewers: rpaulo, emaste.
lidl set the repository for this revision to rS FreeBSD src repository - subversion.

I would prefer not to modify the base sendmail as it is a direct import from the upstream vendor source. Modifications like this belong in either a milter port or the sendmail port.

lidl changed the repository for this revision from rS FreeBSD src repository - subversion to rP FreeBSD ports repository.

This review has been moved to be relative to the ports/sendmail infrastructure.

I don't know if the installed portname should be altered or not. (Typically, each of
the options gets added to the portname, so "sendmail+sasl+db2", etc.)

I also don't know how to make the option available only to systems that are have
libblacklist.so installed (ie, recent FreeBSD-head systems, or FreeBSD-11 when it
is released).

At any rate, this is a new starting point for discussion about how to add blacklistd
support to sendmail. I ended up putting the new functions into existing files, so
as to minimize the diff to the port. I think that ideally, the blacklist functions would
go into an entirely new file in the sendmail distribution.

Looks fine, but I would like to preseve the functional ordering in the Makefile and in the options.

[...] CYRUSLOOKUP BLACKLISTD PICKY_HELO_CHECK [...]

lidl edited edge metadata.

I placed the option where you suggested in the Makefile, and
adjusted the order of the other parts of the Makefile to match.

The rest of the patch is unchanged.

stalled, there is no port that installs the needed library blacklist.so

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblacklist

I'm using this on 11.1-RELEASE-p1 and good working with patched files/patch-sendmail.h as follows.

Patch does not aply to HEAD.

After merging:
Port with this OPTION does not build on FreeBBSD 10.

Thank you very much to commit to HEAD.

I think a better Makefile is as follows.
