SteveB, do you have a good howto for greylisting other than in the package
itself? I want to test it first.

postgrey 1.15 available now at:
http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/pub/

1.16 is now available.

There is a howto at http://home.coming.dk/amavis.html, which includes postgrey.
I'm using it on my main mail server for quite some time now, and it helps to
cut the load to SA quite down a bit :)

Tuan Van (comment 8):
Have a look at http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/

Tuan pointed me to this. Here go some comments and questions:

Dependencies according to postgrey homepage:
Perl (version ≥ 5.6.0)
Net::Server
IO::Multiplex
BerkeleyDB (Perl module) 
Berkeley DB (Library, version ≥ 4.1)

Any reason for specific versions in the attached ebuild?

	>=dev-perl/net-server-0.85
	>=dev-perl/IO-Multiplex-1.08
	>=dev-perl/BerkeleyDB-0.25

Any reason for creating /etc/postfix this should be handled by Postfix?

	# postgrey data in /etc/postfix
	dodir /etc/postfix
	keepdir /etc/postfix
	insinto /etc/postfix

Like wise with /etc/conf.d?

	# postgrey config for gentoo
	dodir /etc/conf.d
	keepdir /etc/conf.d
	insinto /etc/conf.d

On the postive side this ebuild seems to be more userfriendly with configuration . I'm a bit short on time now so I have't actually tested it yet but will do so later.

postgrey-1.17-r3.ebuild

To: Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (Comment #16):
I am just to carefull ;) Anyway... I took out the additional creation of
/etc/postfix, /etc/init.d and /etc/conf.d
The versioning of the 3 packages you mentioned are gone as well. And I added
the creation of /etc/postfix/postgrey_whitelist_clients.local (if it does not
exist. Since this is the best place to add your own servers into).

Ok, got a bit more time to check out this one. Comments follow:

SRC_URI also seems to differ from the official download link. Any reason?

enewuser, enewgroup, newins, newexe, dosbin transparently handles error conditions and ${S} always exist. At least many ebuilds use them without catching errors.

I don't think the empty src_compile is needed.

SLOT="0" is missing.

In pkg_postinst do s/durig/during/

Also I think the einfo is too long. I guess users should know how to add postgrey to a run level and perhaps point users to a doc file describing the whitelist syntax.

Still not actively tested though.

postgrey-1.17-r4.ebuild

SRC_URI is not diffrend then the original download link. I only included a link
to the /tools/postgrey/pub/old directory, because if the ebuild would stay long
in portage and postgrey would get updated then the ebuild could still download
the tar.gz file from the /old directory. That's all.

About the transparent handling of errors: I am just to carefull. That's all.

The empty src_compile: Same as with the transparent error handling.

SLOT: Yes! It is missing. Sorry ;)

About the einfo: I know that it is long. I made it shorter now.


cheers

Should be updated to 1.21. 1.18 and below have a DoS vulnerability, documented
in http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/postgrey/msg00627.html and
http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/postgrey/msg00647.html .

The ebuild looks like it works for 1.21 without changes (I haven't tested
functionality of installed postgrey yet).

Some questions though - why do you handle whitelist files installing so
awkwardly?

Also, where are whitelist .local files coming from? Your ebuild tries to
install them from portage's temp. directory for postgrey ($T), but how do they
get there?

Ok, it seems to work, but there's a missing runtime dep - dev-perl/Net-DNS.
postgreyreport needs it.

Ok, postgrey-1.21 ebuild is in portage, based on latest attachment here, with
some modifications.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you Andrej!

If you have some time, then please have a look at SQLgrey ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71535 ). It is another Greylisting service, but it uses SQL to store the data.

I would be very happy if you could have a look at it and if you could push that one to portage CVS as well.

Kind Regards

SteveB
